Hello Everyone!
I got rid of the Dad's huge annoying vehicle last night and I already phoned the insurance company and notified the DOL of my state this morning.
Yeah! No more having to deal with the beast.
I have some tea that I need to finish and than I need to get back to work.

Happy Friday Muffins!!!
I hope you are all safe and healthy.
I think we are finally done with the extreme heat. 80s through the weekend and then maybe some 70s next week! And we might finally get some much needed rain today and tomorrow! WooHoo!!! I believe this was our 2nd hottest summer on record. Something like 70 days in the 90s. UGH!
Two short weeks ahead! 4 day weekend for me next week!
Have a Fabulous Weekend!!!

Good Afternoon Kids! I'm popping in a bit late here, but there was some paperwork I had to prepare & send off regarding the sale of our previous house. It's been nasty-humid here the last 2-3 days. But, I've got to get a few errands done this afternoon, so I'll deal with it.

Good Morning Kids! The humidity has left, and we may actually have a "nice" sunny day. Too bad I've got so much housework to get done. Maybe I'll open some windows & get some fresh air inside the house.

I was finally able to find a desk the type and size of desk I have been seeking. It took a trip out of town but it should work well and make my space more functional. It needs to be put together but I'm sure I can handle that. First on the agenda though is canning the pears that are busy ripening.

Lunch looks great today NancysSummerSip. A sandwich will hit the spot while I am working on assembling my desk. Yesterday two neighbor guys helped me get the boxes into the house from the car. I did get the small half of the "L" assembled. Hopefully today I can finish that project. It is a heavy solid desk. This morning I was finally able to find a white dishwasher. It will be delivered Oct. 28th. Yes October, that isn't a typo. Apparently appliances are in short supply and especially white ones. A lot of the ones I was looking at they wouldn't even let you order them.

Good Afternoon Kids! Great looking buffet, NancysSummerSip ! I feel your pain, Sharon. If it's not in stock, the wait here for appliances is into October or November.

Good Afternoon Kids! Yep, it's been a full day for a Monday, and it's not done yet. Dealing with insurance stuff, since we'll have to probably get new insurance on our old house before the sale is completed. It's always something...

Good Morning Kids! I'm waiting around the house for a delivery truck today. It's a smaller company. They won't even give me a guess on what part of the day the truck will show up, I only get a call-ahead 20 minutes before they arrive.

Got it! (Yes, finally!) Right now what little I had in the freezer (it was weird, the fridge conked out, but the freezer portion was still working) is in a cooler. I've got to have the new one plugged in for 2 hours before I can put stuff in it. Tomorrow I need to make a big trip to the grocery store.

This week has a been a wild ride so far. Tonight I decided that pizza was the only thing that would do for dinner. I can pick it up in about 40 minutes.

Good Morning Kids! It's going to be another full day. This afternoon I've got an appointment with an attorney to go over some paperwork.

Good Morning Kids! As always, around a week after any hurricane hits the coast, we get crazy winds here. I'm starting the process today of refilling our new fridge/freezer. First stop will be to the meat market!

It's very windy here, too. I never put wind this time of year together with hurricanes. I know rain sometimes correlates but no rain this time.

Good Morning Kids! It's been a very productive morning. I've reached every person/office I've needed to, & scanned & sent off all of the needed paperwork. Now, this afternoon, I need to do my big grocery shop for the holiday weekend.

I have to go in a bit for my annual eye exam and am really dreading it. When they dilate my eyes it lasts forever. Last year I was still feeling the effects the next morning. Fortunately the office is nearby, about a mile away, so I don't have to drive too far with horrid vision.

Hello and gracious good Saturday to all of you. My, I have some stuff to tell you. My house was hit my lightning Monday. The bolt hit the ground between the generator and the house and entered through the landline wiring under my home office. Blew the plate right off the wall, and sprayed plastic, wiring and screws all over the room. I was sitting there, but I am fine. Knocked out the landline for good (wires too burned to repair, and no tech knows how to wire for it anyway), so they are coming out next week to put the house phone on VOIP. Cheaper and more reliable; we have our smart phones to use meanwhile. Cost will be the standard service call charge.
The bolt blew out the thermostat and the control panel on the A/C and the generator, respectively, though both continued to work; you just could not regulate the A/C and the generator's automated system does not work. A/C now has a new thermostat (free), and a control panel for the generator will be here by Thursday (covered by warranty). So it was, shall we say, an enlightening week. I gave myself a gift today (because I had to work through all of this hot mess): trail running shoes. Yep, I am taking up a new sub-hobby (I say sub-hobby because I already run; trail running is a specialty).

I am glad you and your house came through it with just relatively minor repairs and inconveniences. Once my brother took up trail running there was no looking back. He no longer enters the 5K, 10K, triathlon sprints etc. it is all about the trail running. The only event he now does is a trail run in a nearby state park known for its waterfalls.

Good grief, NancysSummerSip! I know your state is famous for getting the most lightening strikes of any other in the US, but that little "visit" was too close for comfort! So glad you weren't hurt, but so sorry about all of the damage to your house. Good Afternoon Kids! I've already been out to do an errand today. I'm researching cell phone companies, since my phone is dying, & Verizon is getting expensive, I'm checking out the competition. Doesn't seem like any option are cheap nowadays.

Gosh, NancysSummerSip, en lightening, shocking. Glad y'all weren't hurt and hope your homeowner's insurance covers the expense of repairs/replacements.
