A man came this morning and bought half of my 78 RPM record collection (and paid half the agreed price). That's all he could fit in his vehicle. Said he would come back Monday morning moring for the rest.

Wow! Good for you! So much nicer parting with things that you know someone else values and really wants.
 

Today is our potluck supper.......finally! Haven't had one for over a year. In my apartment building community room downstairs. Sonny is coming and he is bringing a watermelon as a surprise. I am bringing cheese and crackers since I cannot spend the time standing in the kitchen cooking anything. I will make up for it next month.
 
Trying to walk and run the puppy into a long nap now since 6 am. thunderstorms overnight so he did not sleep well and is kind of fighting off going to sleep.
Waiting to here from my sister who has gone up to see a mutual friend who we found out is off work on leave. She is still working although retirement age, her dad was abusive to her Mom, she married a chap who was mentally abusive and manipulative , raised kids and has had to take any job just to make things work financially. If i ever won a lottery she is definitely someone i would provide for
 
Trying to get all the ducks in a row for a relocation back to PA from miserable AZ.
We have a realtor here and he's been here to give us a price we can ask for when the time comes...which can't be soon enough for us. The hold-up is my husband's knee surgery. We see the Ortho doc on the 26th to find out what the status is on surgery in our hospital since covid (delta variant) is spiking again and the ICU is full. AAARRRGGGHHH.
So, we can't move forward with moving until we know what that is. I've called the moving company today to schedule them to come and look and give us a price. I've been in contact with a realtor in PA and she is keeping us informed on what's for sale, etc.

I spend a lot of time on the phone lately.

Was there too much wrong with the car, Aneeda?

Oh, no, I thought the car was great. I didn’t have enough cash to buy it and it made me nervous to put so much money on a credit card when I already owe on the credit card for the AC and repairs to the HVAC. I really try to use my credit cards wisely.

I decided the car, a second car, could wait till I get my money. As I thought I would have my money next Tuesday, but I won’t. I am trying to be very careful money wise. I got back the deposit and it should show up in five days. Course I will lose WiFi Sunday night and not get it back till the 21st.

Then called a loan company our realtor mentioned and made an appointment to get a preapproval letter for a new house loan. We are meeting with her next Wednesday. I want to move to Ogden and live by the Dino park which will be a great place for me to walk every day. Also, they have half the taxes that SLC has.

We need a smaller house, at least two levels for separation from each other, a lower payment than we are making in rent. So little time so much to do.
 
My husband went to take containers to the storage we rented. He forgot to take a lock. 🙄. I had to walk over there and take him a lock, it was about 3 blocks and I had to cross in the middle of a Main Street in my area which has no cross walk. Made it across one way.

On the way back, it was lunch time so the traffic was quite busy and I notice the sheriff was taking pictures so there must have been an accident. I finally reached him and called out “will you help me cross the street so I don’t get hit?”

You want to cross right here, he asked. Yup. 😂

So, he walks into the street, stops traffic going both ways, and this fat old slow walking woman crossed in completely safety. What a great guy 🥰

Really a great guy. He could have given you a ticket for jaywalking.

You sure jump in with both feet.

I was not jaywalking, why would you assume that? i was walking from one corner to a corner across the street which is legal even when there is not a crosswalk. One of the reasons there are few painted crosswalks is it costs an insane amount of money to paint them, therefore they do not.
 
A few walks with the puppy starting just after 6 am. in those teenage years where he does not always want to go where i want him to go !

Heard back from my sister about our friend who has had a rough life. (mutual friend who we found out is off work on leave. She is still working although retirement age, her dad was abusive to her Mom, she married a chap who was mentally abusive and manipulative , raised kids and has had to take any job just to make things work financially.)

Apparently on stress leave as a number of guys have been bullying and harassing here over the past year and its gotten out of control. Always seems bullies pick on who they see as vulnerable . sad to see for someone who has tried to do the right thing all her life even with the dark cloud following her. will reach out to here later today to listen

How very kind of you. She is fortunate to have you as a friend.
 
I am organizing my photo files in my external hard drive. Looks like it may be a rainy day so probably won't be going outside. As much as I hate doing it, last night I could not wash my dishes. I could not stand that long even though there was not that many. Doing them right now, going back and forth between the sink and the computer.
