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.
Don't think I will even have the nerve to try an Airbnb again after this experience!
Well, condo papers are signed and sealed and with the bank draft on the way to being delivered (couriered). So thankful all of this can be done remotely. We did the signing by phone. The lawyer was very nice - in fact friendly. I will drop by their office this summer. once I am settled down there. I need a lawyer there anyway. It was a busy day with the plumber fixing humidifiers, then the lawyer then trip to the courier. I am enjoying the humidified air. Should keep the dust down!
Now to get ahold of the condo people to set up payment of condo fees, and permission to have Rocky there, and the city for paying taxes, and decide on an internet/TV provider. My old tv, which, incidentally, works fine, is at least 25 years old but I will not bring it down. I remember the "good old days" when you replaced tubes in your TV. Did it many times. I will finally get a new "slim" one.
Been looking up medical clinics, dentist etc. I know the shopping fairly well, and the pharmacies. I think it will be an easy transition. I am finally starting to get a bit excited about the move. 😄😄😄
Glad, I'm glad for you that you can put that airbnb into your rear view mirror. You'll know better next time.
Ming is just about back to normal. Just jumped up on the bed. Time to.sleep.
Host trying to figure out how to refund money. The system is very difficult to navigate. And their customer service is a nightmare!
DO NOT EVER DO BUSINESS WITH AIRBNB!!!! IF THERE IS A PROBLEM IT WILL BECOME A NIGHTMARE even if the host wants to refund some money.
Turn the carrier vertically, open the gate/zipper, put burrito-cat in. lol
Golden, happy for you that things are moving along with the move. Maybe look up some fun things to do in the new place, too? Where to get nails done, where to go to the movies, best chocolate shop in town. I'm excited for you.
dear golden, exciting about your move!! :) :)
Wondering if the "towel burrito" can be adapted as a safe transport of an immobile elder to the bathroom?
At the very least, any accidents will be on the burrito. Lol.
I know it is getting late, and it does sound far-fetched, but really-if they have fallen they are already on the floor. Just wrap them up and drag the towel/sheet into the bathroom.
I have done the towel burrito thing and it is a good idea - for cats anyway.
Ming is very happy and comfortable!
:)
beautiful weather here. i’ll be going for a hike and tea at my favorite cafe.
have a great sunday everyone! :)
We had a blizzard in April one year, and unlikely to happen again, but we didn't expect one back then, either.
Regardless, it's snowing. Still. And cold. Strong winds.
Twice so far I've put away the salt and twice had to drag it back out.
Won't be long before I'll be gripping about the humidity and/or oppressive heat.
I only get a number of days a year where the weather makes me happy. (Boo-freakin'-hoo.)
snow. i get you.
here too...snow!
sometimes even snow in june!!! (but that hasn't happened in 70 years, i've been told).
That said, as a kid one year there was an ice storm, bad, and they didn't cancel school...until we all arrived, then they sent us home. Genius. I guess as long as kids report, the school benefits.
may, i have also seen. :)
