Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
We received the same Potus letter, again.
It was a repeat duplicate letter announcing the check we had already received in March. Some people have not received it yet.
I do not think a 4th check is coming, but there is speculation online, I now see.
I speculated that it was sent as a political statement/gesture (at the taxpayer expense), to remind us who the president is.
I could be wrong. But it is the same letter, if you can get through reading it.
1st Stimulus was $1200
2nd Stimulus was $600
3rd Stimulus was $1400 rec'd in March
We had lunch, I just abandoned my diet today and had a nice glass of white wine as well as a slice of apple strudel with whipped cream.
A big big treat for me! Feeling better!
... And elaborating strategies to take some of the burden off my shoulders and mind!
Hugs!
We are meeting with a realtor this Saturday. I want to sell this large home and downsize. I want to travel again. I really want another dog but am resistant to getting one at this time. It breaks my heart into a million pieces when it comes time to put them down. Toying with the idea of fostering but knowing me, I would end up adopting the pooch! Maybe I should just volunteer at the shelter. I can take them on their walks.
Maybe when we downsize we will get our own..
I did a 'find your dog breed' quiz online for my DH - it choose a Chinese Crested. I had to google it... 🤣🤣🤣
PS I'm sure they are nice.. just not what I expected!
They tested him for drugs. The vet said that she has seen it before. They eat something in the street and they have ingested drugs. So, the vet said that all of the heavy narcotics, opioids, cocaine, etc. came back negative but he may have eaten gummies with marijuana. It is Colorado where it is legal. Anyway, they are going to treat his condition with fluids and activated charcoal.
It makes me wonder about dogs who accidentally eat a human’s pills that are dropped on the floor.
A Chinese crested isn’t the most attractive dog but they are sweet. My friend had one. She was a good dog. They loved her. She died. They have a cat now. We miss our beloved fur babies when they die.
It may be a challenge to find something that we both like. HOA fees are more expensive in certain buildings. We will have to figure out what amenities we want. Some offer 24/7 security, concierge, beautiful pools and very nice gyms, etc.
Some have a very large room that have a huge dining area, lounge area with a television, a bar, complete kitchen and bath. This room can be reserved by the residents to host holiday gatherings or parties.
I like the units with a balcony. I don’t want stairs in the unit. We want a unit that is move in ready in a great location.
Good luck on your new residence shopping. I don't want to move. We purged out a lot more things out of our attic - DH was looking for ceiling tiles, which turned into a TON of sorting. Both vehicles are filled up with donations. Some was trashed.
Thanks. He seems to be doing better now. My daughter is so good with him. She was the same way with her poodle. That’s her fur baby!
I wish I could meet this dog. I used to dog sit for her poodle when she lived in Louisiana.
Llama,
How do we end up keeping so much stuff? My husband went into the attic with my oldest daughter awhile back. Oh my gosh, I had forgotten about some of the things that we put up there.
I donate to a veterans organization and they pick it up off the porch. Easy!
I have donated to a couple of thrift shops too.
Yes, organizing, packing and moving is the worst part of moving/downsizing!
This was not the first, second or third time that we purged out our attic. A lot of the items are DD's that we are storing for her. I had thought about donating to Purple Heart as a neighbor does, but it's a LOT! Good luck packing.
Geeeeez, I suppose that I don’t do well in these situations. I tell myself not to freak out but I usually do. My best friend is the opposite. She remains calm in a crisis, then it hits her later. Me, I start freaking out immediately! Then I got upset because the traffic on Napoleon Ave. was awful. Parking was fine because the hospital has a garage.
Anyway, it was kidney stones. So, they gave him fluids in an IV and pain meds. Hopefully, will pass them soon.
My oldest daughter gets stones too. I have never had them but I hear from them that they are painful. I hope that I don’t get them.
I’m glad it wasn’t anything more serious. Again, thanks for your support. I appreciate it so much.
