My legs are shot today. We did go to the farmer's market and I got fresh corn, green beans and honey with ginger and turmeric in it. Stopped at the gourmet grocer for DH's salad and some go-with-espresso cookies for him. I am running one last load of laundry.

Good Afternoon Kids! DH sounds like he's getting what DS has been fighting, so I gave him some cough syrup & zinc before he headed off to work. The man won't take a day off unless he literally feels like he's dying, or he gets sent home. I told him to pick up a hot beverage on the way to work, something that would last him awhile. Thanks for the hot cross buns, NancysSummerSip. Those are one of my favorites! When I'm done typing here I'll be putting the ham in the oven. Our "big" meal will be late today. Happy Easter!

Dinner is done and we will have cake soon. Laundry is put away. I did my PT, which I could not manage yesterday at all. Trainer PT is tomorrow and Wednesday this week.

DS & I ate dinner, and DH will eat when he gets home. I'm saving my pie for breakfast tomorrow.

Good Evening Kids! I think today was definitely a Monday. DS had a seizure at work, but fortunately it was a light one, so he actually felt good enough to go back to his tasks once he came out of it. When he has a bad one he needs a long nap, so I'm thankful it wasn't worse. I was keeping an eye on my neighbor's place over the weekend, as she was on the road. Not a big deal, as it's pretty easy to watch the traffic move through the neighborhood. In fact, my hearing is still good enough that I can normally hear a delivery truck, or a car door shut. Anyway, she came back tonight, and rewarded us with a lovely blueberry & lemon loaf cake. I know what I'm having for breakfast tomorrow. I really wasn't expecting anything, as she is a good neighbor, so that was a very nice surprise.

I'm slowly recovering from my weekend of chaos. Last night I finally got a really good nights sleep and could have slept a lot longer this morning. We are supposed to have a high of 80 degrees today which I am definitely looking forward to, then the rain returns at the end of the week.

I am glad your son was able to return to work.
It's been raining hard all night.
I found the chip from Amelia's collar last night. I didn't find the collar. When the new chip and collar arrive tomorrow, I am going to put the old chip on the new collar. Since the battery in the new chip won't be used, I'm hoping it will still be good when the battery runs out on one of these.

Good Afternoon Kids! DH had a dental appointment today, and got through it all quite well (I hate it when he needs fillings done, but he was a real trooper). We were surprised to wake up to snow coming down this morning, but that has stopped, and since it's warmer a lot of it has already melted. Still waiting for Spring to finally get here.

DANG IT! The check I received for the return of my security deposit (at my previous address), which I deposited Friday, did not clear and has been charged back to my account.
I used the funds to pay my rent and other things. I never dreamed it wouldn't clear. Now my payments won't clear and I have to contact the property mgmt company who sent me the check, to recover payment.
I'm going through a rough time right now. Ugh!

toomuchreality, that's awful. Hopefully it can be resolved quickly. I think I would ask them to also cover any NSF fees that you may incur due to their actions.

They have a history of not returning calls, so I don't expect this to go well for me. So unfortunate. I have reached out to my previous manager, asking what to do, or who to talk to. But haven't heard anything back yet. I'm happy.

I asked my former property manager if I could go pick the new check up today, rather than wait for them to mail it and me go to the post office, show I'd, get it and take it back to my bank. She said, I'd have to drive a hour and a half (each way), to get it. That's not happening.
Since this isn't an error on my part and they've already had my money for over 21 years, I asked if they will over night the check to me. I said, if I have to wait another month to get the check, there will be multiple fees charged.
As usual, they're not taking responsibility for their error. Which puts me in a bad place. They don't care.

My experience with those large complexes is they do not care.
The first large complex I lived in knew they were going to totally redo the apartment in an entirely different style. Wish they would have told me that before I hired a cleaning person to come and really deep clean after I moved out. At least I got the deposit back and the check didn't bounce.
That stinks.

Good Afternoon Kids! Once you finally get your money from them toomuchreality, I'd report them, at least for kiting checks. I hope you don't get stuck paying for any overdrafts. How annoying! It was a full day here, with a bunch of minor tasks. Once DS was off to his job, I had to do exciting stuff, like return some shoes I'd ordered for DH. We did find a pair that fit him well so he'll have something nice to wear to the wedding. The wind is crazy here today. It's cold too. But, at least the sun is shining.

The manager didn't respond to me asking if they would overnight the check, at 12:30. I just sent another text asking if they will overnight the check.
I will report and leave appropriate information/reviews.
I wish there was more I could do to incentivize them to take care of this, quickly.
They really don't care.
It's funny, because they really pushed for me (people) to leave positive reviews for them, when they took over.

At the last large complex where I lived, there was a cold snap and the pipes froze. Luckily I was home when it happened and that did limit damage but there was still damage.
I gave the manager a list of the damage after fans were set up to dry it out. Nothing happened until I left a negative review. They came that day to fix everything.

It doesn't.
I was lucky in that I could stay with a friend while it got cleaned up. Many people rented hotel rooms. The law in Colorado is that when an apartment is not habitable, the owner will pay living costs for the tenants. The complex owners refused to pay for the hotel rooms.
The tenants took the owner to small claims court and won.
The apartments smelled so bad that it wasn't possible to stay there.
Also most tenants were at work when the pipes burst, so they had far more damage than I did.

Good Morning Kids! Your apartment experiences sound awful. The worst thing I can recall that happened was the heat went out on a holiday weekend, and we couldn't get anyone to answer their phone to report it. Nothing like no heat to motivate you to find a house to buy before having kids. Oh, and the neighbor above us who was noisy was a deal-breaker too. That's why in my old age I'd rather hire someone to mow the lawn & shovel snow rather than go back to apartment life. Speedy has his annual check-up at the vet today. I hope he behaves. He was full of vinegar yesterday.

We are going the wrong direction weather wise. Tuesday was 80 degrees, yesterday was 49 degrees and today it is raining. I would like more days like Tuesday please.

Yay! Although the property manager stopped responding to me yesterday, I got a check overnighted and received it before 9AM this morning. Bow I need to get it to the bank.
The last few days have been really frustrating, because of this.

I have tea seeping and really need some.
Construction work woke me up about 1.5 hours earlier than I had planned.
Heading out to have lunch with a friend today. It will be a great time.
