Reflections of My Life

Yesterday, I got my new hanging file folders. So that is on my agenda for today. My filing cabinet is only two drawers but they are really long drawers. So very heavy! The bottom drawer is all my son, Jeff's paperwork. So going to be working on this for a few days I am sure. The folders I had were all different colors and a smooth glossy finish. The ones I bought are all dark green and not as thick. Amazon Basics. But at least ten dollars cheaper than the other ones. I reasoned with myself that I did not need the pretty ones now.

I made Keto Chow yesterday so along with breakfast dishes I had a sink full of things to wash. Usually I have to put towels on the counter and take up all that room drying things. The big dish drainer was worth buying. Everything fit in it with room for more. So the last five items I bought to make my life easier have made a big difference. That is enough of my spending on household stuff for this month.

I just ordered groceries so will be getting them around 11. Rabbit needed more spring mix and bananas. Every time I say he is not going to last much longer, he must hear me. Then he starts eating a lot and gets more active. This morning around 5, he was chewing on cardboard (that is along the sides of the dressers to protect them from him) real loud trying to wake me up. He did. Now he is hopping around but soon he will go to sleep for the day. ❤️ 🐰
 
Lately, people do things I do not understand. A friend on FB will comment on a photo I post there with my same photo in the comments! I don't understand what that means or why she does it. She does it often. I usually just ignore and do not comment back. Today I got a PM here from someone who copied what I wrote on a thread here. With no comment or why they sent me my own post. What does it mean?

Who knows! 🤷‍♀️

I often wonder why folks quote me and question my opinion instead of just offering their own opinion.

I wouldn’t overthink it.

somtimes people do that on here.....if they're making a comment about the photo... then fair enough but sometimes they don't..they just repost the photo.. I have no idea what goes in some people's minds either...🤷‍♀️

Do you think it could mean 'Received and read'?
 
Every morning I wake up and check the elevator to see if anyone put a do not use elevator sign up. Then I can plan my day. So far that last repair is holding up. If people would stop holding it while talking to someone I think that would help. In my research I saw where it said not to do that. I never do.

I am excited about supper today. I made Spiedies (beef) and they are marinating in the refrigerator. The way to cook them is on skewers on a grill but I will be cooking them in the Nuwave oven. They are a specialty dish for my area of NY (mainly Endicott, NY). The ones they sell in the store usually have a seed oil, canola or soybean oil so I had to make my own. I have made them before but a long time ago. Usually you eat them on Italian bread but no bread for me. My apartment will smell delicious!

On here when I click reply in your OP it copies your posting by itself. I think it's so when you see "replied to your post" in notifications it is just letting you see which post it was so you don't have to wonder and scroll to see your original. FB does it different.

The post on here I am talking about someone sent me a private message (that little envelope at the top) with my own post on it. Nothing else in the message. My post to myself.

we have the same trouble at work. we have 7 sets of elevators in the building (2 elevators each) and always one doesn't work. and here lately the other one will go down and then they can't take patients back up to the other floors cuz only one elevator takes you to 5th and 6th floor.

Kat, glad you had the time with your father and that he was a good man. I lost mine when I was four and wonder how different I would be today if he been in my life longer. I'm sure your dad was proud of you and what a strong woman you became.

Thank you! He taught me so much over the years. I always believed he could do anything because he usually could.
 
My Keto Chow order was delivered this morning. So preparing to make another batch of 4. When I took the elevator I found it is not opening on my floor. Have to press the button to open it. That is okay as long as it always opens. It gets a workout here daily so maybe that is too much for it. Hope it holds on till I die.

I have found that I am getting my chores around here done much faster. Just the simple things I have changed have made a huge difference. It teaches me to not put off doing things when I first think about them. That is why I am working on my budget sheet for September now. It is better for me to do it early so it is all ready by the 1st. I want to plan a "no spend" month for September and maybe October too. When I say "no spend" I mean not buying anything that is not in the budget. I want to buy one of those floor fans and will find out the cost and put that in my budget.

I am planning on replacing my air conditioner next year. Normally, I would find a deal at the end of this season and buy it then. Except that I am now aware of HEAP (Home Energy Assistance Program) paying for a new air conditioner (if the present one is 5 years old or you don't have one). They will cover a professional installation as well. I know a couple people here who had them installed this year. They were very happy with the ones they got. So I will wait for that program to open in the spring.

When I reply to an opinion I disagree with, I mean no personal offense AT ALL.
Opinions vary widely but this is a public forum.
To let a statement pass without comment suggests agreement or indifference in my opinion.
I do always respect your point of view, Aunt Bea. It's always thoughtfully said.
 
Playing music while I do various chores around here seems to make them not seem like a chore. I think Rabbit appreciates me playing music. It seems to comfort him and then he falls asleep listening to it. At the moment listening to The Traveling Wilburys. The first one we listened to was New Grass Revival. Puts me in a good mood for the whole day. I don't know why I have been caught up with YT instead of listening to my CDs lately. Probably because I have to do a little bit of work then sit down here in front of the computer.

I have been editing a lot of photos for my blog instead of watching videos. Hadn't gotten to them yet. So now I can write the posts and will have the photos ready to go.
