Tonight we got invited to a dinner party and had an absolute hoot. It was so much fun.
It’s been a while since I’ve done anything like that. Before we moved my sister in law invited us over for Easter dinner but I couldn’t make it. She’s coming to visit us next month which will be really fun.

Tonight I brought a bottle of wine and would have had a huge bouquet full of wild lupines but after picking them I noticed that they were full of bugs so ditched that idea. It was funny though.

Here is a picture of the flowers on our front deck.

Anyway it was an awesome night. We have new awesome friends. Yayyy. 🥰

To take Bella just for the day......or take her for good.

WOW Aneeda......when you decide on something.....full speed ahead.
I understand the decision on moving will be the best for you.
I hope you find happiness with the changes you're making.
Take care through all this.
Back to BELLA.......new home for her?

@MickaC it wasn’t that I decided one morning and put everything in motion in the afternoon. I’ve been waiting for the best opportunity. His sickness, the double pneumonia, really effected him, I think, emotionally and mentally. Even our son noticed he’s not really “tracking” well.

Remember, I didn’t want a house again, I want apartment living. It was a combination of factors that led to the somewhat perfect moment to change my circumstances for the better and I jumped on it. I am sad over the situation with Bella. No, I am not selling her. But dogs love who feed them and she will be fine.

If this Pet Smart employee has a yard, I will give her to her, otherwise, the humane society as Bella needs a yard. I have never sold an animal. I want the best for Bella, my husband does not want to care for her, so that is that. Honestly, my husband seems to be having an issue caring for himself currently. 🤦🏻‍♀️
 
Today is the open house. So today I am getting ready for it. Again, there are also several private showings.

We are taking Bella to pet smart for the day until we re-home her in the afternoon. The open house would be too stressful for her. I am trying to make it as easy on her as possible, and really sad about the situation. But her personality suits an outside dog with plenty of room to run and play, not an apartment dog with a small cement patio to hang out on.

We met a couple last night that I would love to get the house. They were foreign but I am not sure what country, but a lovely couple with an older son. They really want the house, and they interacted with us quite a bit. Probably in an effort to get the house 😂. But we are doing highest and best and trying to be unemotional about it. Still, they would be my first choice.

My second choice would be a same sex couple who loved the house as well.

The housing market here is insane. This house still needs a LOT of work but people seem to overlook that as they race to buy a house, any house. And there are very few lower priced houses. I am so tired, only two more days of this madness, thank heaven. Monday the pain drugs and sleep will be very welcome. 😮
 
Easy does it Aneeda,, deep breathes.

Houses in my tiny part of the world vary in prices,, from $50,000 to $179,000.
Presently at end of our road there is house priced in the high end. ^^^^^

One of our elderly friends /neighbor who passed away,, has crew working to clean it out.
Have filled 3 big dumpster things,, & there is still more to go.

Gossip has it that once house & out buildings are empty house will be tore down.

Aw,, heck I type too much,, all the above just to say:

Good luck ,, sending you a gentle hug (:))))
 
This morning on my early walk at 6:30,it was bit foggy temps in the low 60's
When I came back watered the plants in community garden
My plans this morning walking over to have my weekly 'chat' with close friends,Marcia&Dave,to see the family dog'Aker' my 'buddy boy'
The rest of my day may do some furniture cleaning its looking dusty,take an afternoon walk{weather permitting},read local paper,my book
 
Will be getting ready for tonight's casual party/gathering. Easy menu - I've settled on a bagel-based buffet with a bunch of different flavor bagels (sweet and savory).
The spread will include cream cheese, vegan cream cheese, butter, vegan butter, and jam.
Also lox, capers, and sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, lemon and avocado.
This afternoon I'll make macaroni salad, cole slaw, and a green salad.
At the last minute I'll assemble a fruit tray with fresh pineapple, strawberries, cherries, grapes, sliced peaches and sliced nectarines.
Will make some biscotti later this morning.

Am I forgetting anything? Please chime in if you thin of something.

Should be fun and not a whole lot of work.

Our house will not be torn down, wouldn’t care if it was. We bought it a year ago. We put 60,000 into it, the money we made off our last house sell. It still needs a lot of work. We will make our money back, or nearly all our money, at the very least. 😍. And that will be such a relief.

I checked again and I received both shots on the right side. No one at the clinic ever mentioned getting 1st and 2nd in different arms. I mean, it all goes into the same body so I don't really see any difference.

@IrisSenior .. When we went for our 2nd dose (Pfizer), the person who administered the shot said "same arm as before?", so I said "sure". As with the 1st shot, only a little warmth at the injection site for a couple of days.
 
I'm cooking for grandpa...in this heat.
I went to the store early before it got too hot and did my shopping. I noticed some items went up in price.

I'm making him spaghetti and chili beans..(not together), and I will have the fans blowing in the kitchen.

It's going to be 3 digits again today. 🔥
 
Warm again today with temps in the high 80s. Got an email yesterday saying my good camera was back from the hospital and that I could come and pick it up at any time, so I drove in to the shop near Boston and returned with the camera. With some good leftover beef and noodles in the fridge, dinner is taken care of. No adventures today, just P&Q in the cool AC, for which I am thankful.
 
Bella was rehomed today with the pet smart employee. She was extremely excited to get Bella and take her home-she was all smilies and jumping up and down 😍. Took her all of. Bella’s stuff. She has a yard and her, amd her sister, will take their dogs hiking. Bella will love that and will live happily ever after.
 
Today I just relaxed to my favorite music on my big stereo--I don't play it too often because it has a lot of built in noise but it sounds so good! Had my meals and the pets had theirs. Gave my dog a bath and then watched her zoom around the apt. playfully making funny noises. Took a nice nap with the dog--she liked to get on top of the quilt I put on myself and snuggle up to me. Had a good talk with her about how much she means to me and I know she understood.

I put a youtube video of jungle sounds on for Jasmine bird and was feeling pretty good.

Then I heard someone screaming and I thought it was in the video and thought why would they put that in the video. Then I realized it was coming from outside and was so loud because my windows were shut and I could still hear it.

Turns out it was my neighbor screaming to the point of crying "you don't know what I'm going through" "you don't know my diagnosis" "you don't know how I go to the dr." and telling someone to shut the F up over and over.

This neighbor has some friends who help him out and I go to his apt every once in awhile and give him cupcakes, cookies, candies and ice cream bars.

So, I was wondering when this neighbor was going to breakdown and I think that's what I heard tonight and right now I don't feel so good inside--my stomach feels like it was jabbed with a knife. He has bladder cancer and has been going through chemo every few mos for the past 2 years. I don't know what anyone can do for him. He is not easy to talk to, very gruff and loud. But he has some friends.

Now I have to try to relax all over again. I have a few pills that will do just that.
