Well, hmm, no insult to your mom but my dad got around quite a bit-so I suppose she could be one of his ex-wives and we could be half sisters. Dad always married his women-even if the certificate was made in China 😊

My dad "got around" a lot, too. He liked being married so every time one of his wives divorced him, he'd find another wife. And...there are a lot of people in my hometown who look suspiciously like everybody in my family. I should get a DNA test and see how many of us there are...
 

I've had a lovely morning chat with LD boyfriend and a nice walk in the autumn weather with my son, which sums up my accomplishments for the day so far. Oh, and I made hummus.

I'd like to:
Spray (all natural) repellant in the downstairs rooms.
Do some writing for the possible blog.
 
No newbie today. She "had plans" for the weekend. Maybe Monday around 10 if she finishes the video training. Fat lotta good that did me this morning.

The good news is that manager told me she's "open" to early hours. Fine! Let her start at 5 or 6, and I can work 7-12. Probably only in my dreams, but we'll see.

I had two Karens today. After one of them was gone, I started crying. I hope she gets warts and ugly toenail fungus. What a beeyotch! While I was trying to help the first one, another one showed up and just started blathering on about the loaf of bread she was holding being too big and demanded that I count out half the slices and discount it. What? What's more, while I was talking to the first one, the second one just marched up and started talking over her like she wasn't even there.

Then there was the phone call from somebody insisting that I was customer service because that's the number she asked for. Being the Luddite that I am, I had no idea how to transfer a call. Suggested she call back, and when she objected, told her it was too noisy to hear her, thanked her for calling and terminated the call.👀😃

I was in a snit. A turbocharged, 12-cylinder Snit. Not a 4-cylinder, not a 6- or an 8- or a 10-cylinder. A 12-cylinder Snit. It's a good thing the clock finally struck 12. Hickory Dickory. That mouse couldn't run up there fast enough.

I'm getting too old and too crotchety to deal with the unreasonable and demanding public.

Alrighty then, pretty sure we are related 😂.
 
I slept until almost 11 o'clock which is not normal for me but I have been tired and was up during the middle of the night (which is normal for me). I straightened up a bit, clipped Deja's nails which wasn't easy but I offered her favorite cat treat in between clips (Beefeater Lickables chicken flavor) and that made her a little more cooperative. I loaded and ran the dishwasher. I have to update my beneficiary designations to include my youngest grandson who will be considered an adult (18) in a couple of months. I'm glad brokerages have made it so easy, by allowing it to be done online.

Intermittently it will be T.V., Words With Friends and playing with Deja. I also need to research information about group offerings at the Sheraton in Atlantic City where we're considering holding our next family reunion. I'll report what I find to one of our matriarchs and historians, who spearheaded the first reunion. I have a couple of other calls to make as well. Not looking to tire myself out today.

I know all about down sizing!!! I've been procrastinating on that subject for a long, long time!

Long ago as a student, I used to work as a temporary postman at Christmas. I think I was probably given the worst round with medium rise blocks of flats. Most times the lifts were out of action and often there were only one or two deliveries for the top floor. I was a teenager then and pretty fit, but my knees wouldn't take it now.

Aberdeen city has its share of high rise blocks, but generally it's normal housing once you're out of the inner city. I don't know if there are any temporary posties any more. The mail service is pretty poor at present.

NO high rises here.. but hundreds if not more in London of course.. but when I was a kid ( 12) I had a milk round to do which meant being dropped off by the Milkman with 3 or 4 crates of milk at the ground floor of each block of flats .. I'd press the button to go to the 20th floor, and block the lift door from closing by jamming the crates on it.. (fortunately there was another lift . and it was 5am, so very quiet ).. and dash around delivering to up to 6 flats on each floor, working my way down, and then onto the next block of flats , and whenever the lifts were out of order.. my heart would sink, because it meant running up 20 floors with Hand held milk crates.. rather than the full size crates I took in the lift, and it would take forever to do it.. and I had to be back home for 7am and get ready for school..
 
The hotel internet was out last night so I got very reminded of how OCD I am about my bedtime (need internet to read, play game, then listen to boring lecture to fall asleep to), and without my pre-bedtime routine my sleep was lousy (kept waking up all night long). Consequently I decided to go nowhere today.

I called the medical office that had incorrectly billed my mammogram etc and the previous times I called they blamed it on Medicare but this time as soon as a representative brought up my account she immediately asked me what my primary insurance is (is Medicare) and then said they would resubmit all the billings to Medicare. So I don't know if third times the charm when calling them, or if maybe they've messed up a lot of other people and are now being more aware/responsive. But, big relief to me, I just hope Medicare doesn't decline them all for being way beyond the time limit.

Just a short walk this morning. Have spent most of the day sitting under my carport reading. I’m waiting to have my golf delivered also. My repair guy picked it up for some repair work and it should be back today, along with a big fat bill. Yep, that’s where I am right now.View attachment 247085

I thought you said you were sitting under your carpet, reading. I really need to pay more attention

I had my first "retirement" gaff... All day I've been thinking it's Saturday and caught myself for pretty much everything except I started driving over to church for the Vigil Mass... got about 1/2 way there and did the head-smack. Doofus, it's Friday!

What kind of furniture are you looking to get Star?
Click to expand...
New sofa and a couple of rocker or glider type recliners that go nearly all the way flat. Leather preferred, but we'll see what's available. We looked during the pandemic but choices were slim and estimated delivery times were 6-8 months so we decided to live with what we had.
