Well, bad news of a sort.

Even with a doctors form filled out husbands work may not let him not talk on the phone and he will be forced to take FMLA. After that runs out, forced retirement. 🤦🏻‍♀️ We only need him to work three more years, dang it. Although, because they have really good insurance, we had hoped for a much longer time period. He’s worked there 27 years.

But companies could care less. ☹️
 
It's 10.25am...rain is forecast to be heavy starting in about an hour.

I've got the laundry washed, dried and hung back up

Having a cuppa tea now..

I have to go out to a business meeting , and then to look at some new property.... typical that we've had dry weather all this time, and then today it's going to rain heavily..oh well.. ce'st la vie... ..might see if i can get some fuel today... all the petrol garages for miles have run out ..I'm not desperate but I like to have a full tank, and I have less than half..so if I can't get it, it's no biggie, thankfully I don't have to go to work, like so many who can't find fuel anywhere

Have a good day folks...

The rest of my day read NYT,my book,weather permitting take afternoon walk
 
Well, Deb would be so proud of me.

I bought a ring 10 years ago, was seduced by its packaging, gold, and sparkling diamond chips. But I am not a jewelry person, I probably wore it only 5 times in 10 years. Other than my wedding rings, it’s the only piece of jewelry I’ve ever owned.

Anyway, it’s been in the safety deposit box for a few years. My daughter doesn’t like yellow gold. And jewelry, like cars, looses its value quickly. Rather than give it to my daughter, I went to a pawn shop, first time, asked Donna in my hood thread how to go about this.

I went to sell it. They offered very little. Stopped at another pawn shop, cleaner, nicer and they offered 280 dollars for it. Quite a bit less than I paid, but 280 is 280 and I sold it. Had to show ID, had to give a fingerprint. Felt quite risque. 😂

Proud of you !!! I always think that if I haven't worn something that is sitting in the closet (for a year or 2).... I am not going to wear it. I donate it to Goodwill. I always have a box or bag in a corner of that closet.

Mile swim. Worked for a while. Went out for lunch and to clean/vacuum my car. I'm in charge of dinner tonight so will soon be going out to shop, then home again to cook. Perfect day here, bright sunshine, 70s, no humidity. I know the planet is doomed and all that but it's hard to tell today.

The Earth is just fine. George Carlin says so.

The George Carlin "Saving the Planet" skit is quite good. I cannot paste links here, it is on YouTube.
 
Did you know..I only learned this , this week due to the fuel shortage... .. that all new cars are fitted with an anti-syphon Valve ?

I had no idea about this.. nor did the guy who after driving around for miles looking for a garage that had some petrol, filled his sisters car up full with the plan to syphon off half into his own car when he returned.. No can do.. with new cars apparently... :oops:

Right now having my morning coffee and just prepped and started a boneless pork shoulder roast in the Instant Pot. After my shower, I plan on going through some more clothing. I will put it in the laundry or the donate bag, depending on what I want or don't want. Nothing else is planned.
