Claudia sealed the kitchen sink. I watched and helped a bit.

I thought that Claudia would come to have a cup of coffee with me. Instead, she brought a sealing machine and proceeded to seal my very old kitchen sink.
When I close my eyes and look at my house inwardly, I know that I haven´t had the money since my husband died 20 years ago to do some maintenance.
Two years ago I painted the living and dining room and I upholstered the dining room chairs. But I did not have the money to do the same with the living room furniture and I know I never will.
The only beautiful new thing is my new shower. I still look at it in wonder every day when I use it.
When we like beautiful things, it is specially complicated when we know that the moment has come to choose. We cannot have everything anymore.

You have to pick and choose which things you can have. I'm glad Claudia came and sealed your sink.

I know. Several years ago, I had to choose between smoking or having money for holidays. I chose the holidays.

@LindaOHio I became (too late) an advocate of non smoking. It is unhealthy and very expensive.

Remember that you said that you bought a refrigerator with the money you earned on Bubblews. Maybe there will be a site which would help you improve your home.

I had to place that freezer at the garage. I have a refrigerator in the kitchen and there´s no space for anything else. I haven´t heard of a site that lets people from my country earn a reasonable amount of money.

@marguicha there are many sites that pay good money for writing, but they require excellent English skills. I am not a native, so I don't qualify.

This was put around the meeting place between sink and counter.

I know what you mean. I am wrestling with which appliances I should replace first but I am waiting until one of them is completely useless before I put that kind of large amount on a credit card. If I can find a way to make payments that wouldn't last for too long than maybe I can replace the most important one first, my furnace.

I know that it is not worth to remodel my kitchen. Buy maybe I should change the old hinges of the doors.

@rebelann i own a real house well made in a nice neighborhood. It is not elegant but it is comfortable. Mine is over 20 years old. The kitchen cupboards are getting old.. But they are expensive to change.

Well, at least you own a real house that should last for years to come @marguicha Mobile homes generally do not last that long, mine is 17 years old.

I should remodel the cupboards, mainly because the doors are a bit dangerous

I am glad you have a lovely new shower.
I have just sealed my kitchen sink too by myself. I always do the work around here.

I used to do a lot of work at home. Not any more. A have arthritis among other things and my fingers tremble. I´d do a messy job.

You have to learn to accept things as they are.

I have. And I´m glad that I could take out the tub and place a shower. My feet are not capable of climbing anymore.
