Call the insurance company and tell them what happened. Usually insurance will agree to at least one month early for vacations, loss etc

I'm back in the laundry business, yay. Now to finish catching up with the laundry. Last night I went to DGS1's pre-school graduation. It was short and sweet but he was so proud of himself. It was fun.

My phone hasn't been working well throughout the day. I didn't have a good internet connection/signal until I got to DD1's. So now I'm trying to catch up on posts, at 8:30PM MST.

Happy Friday Muffins!!!
I am glad your apartment management is finally getting you taken care of tmr!
I am like Theotherme. I have been cutting my own hair forever. My Mom was a hairstylist so I never paid growing up but since we live in different states I have to do it myself. It really doesn't matter since I never wear my hair down so it doesn't have to be straight. He he he
We are in the 90s now for a couple of days but next week some 70s and 80s with good rain chances which we need.
Have a Fantastic Weekend!!!

Good Morning Kids! It's not even lunchtime yet, and I'm already tired. But, it's the final push to get wedding ready, so I've gotta keep moving...

Gracious good peeps, it is Friday! Just had a thunderstorm roll through, but did get some yardwork done before it did. After swim practice tomorrow, DH wants donuts. He even picked the place. Not exactly on my way home, but I am not going to tell him no at this point in his life. I have some bagels and bread here to toast for myself (I cannot eat fried dough at all).

FYI- My internet connection has been horrible the last 2 days. Almost non existant (pretty much). I don't know how much I'll be on here, in the future, because of this.
DD2's wife took my car, to get the transmission checked for me today. I'll pick it up in an hour, or so. I also need the A/C in my car checked/fixed. It wasn't working at all, yesterday afternoon and the temp was 95°! I hope these things don't cost me a fortune!
I may be back to riding the bus, which really upsets me to think about.
Have a good weekend!

I have some money things to do this weekend. I made the decision to monetize my blog and start looking for website partners as well. Might as well make some passive income while I write. I do have swim practice tomorrow and a Walmart stop, in addition to the doughnut run.

I'm so sad/upset. My car needs a transmission. So it isn't worth fixing. MAYBE it will last me through the summer. (If I'm lucky.)
They didn't even try to fix the A/C, because it isn't worth putting money into.
😥😥😥
I don't want to go through this again.
And now I have to get on a data plan, for my internet. I've always used wifi, so it wasn't a problem. Now I don't have wifi and it's a problem.
Oh, the joys of adulting! 😵

I made it through the morning and the area around my eyes and my eyelid still looks like crap and is itchy and swollen but getting better. I forgot to tell y'all about the hyaluronic acid brns. You're not supposed to use that stuff around your eyes. It was accidental. I am on a new box of Benadryl (the old one was so old, it was extinct) and aloe and Neosporin and anything else I can find that helps ease the itch. I look like an old lady after a really, really rough night out, and the night won.

I look like an old lady after a really, really rough night out, and the night won. Yikes. Sorry to hear this. Hope it heals soon! Me, too. There's an old time biker-type bar not too far from us. Pretty rough place, called the Stand-Up. Not sure why, since drinking there would leave most people with a need to lie down, I am told. Dirty, seedy joint literally alongside the railroad tracks. The kind of place where asking for a cocktail could get you thrown out and an "umbrella drink" is for sissies. The guy who owns it owns the entire block of buildings, which is why he gets to stay in business.
I am sorry about your car. I hate car stuff. Years ago, I did have a transmission go on my beloved Honda Accord. I loved that car and in hindsight, probably should have put in a new one. The car was great otherwise.

Hi Kids! The big day is here, so prayers & positive thoughts are appreciated. I've been up since 6 (didn't sleep well), I've already gotten glammed up, and we'll be leaving for the church shortly. I'll fill you in on everything that happened in the next day or two.

We did get rain early this morning. Right now the sun is shining, and temps are moderate. We might actually have a great day!

I'm going to a wedding today, too. It will be the 2nd time this year, I've worn a dress. LOL
Since my car is broken, DD1 and her wife will pick me up and take me with them, to the wedding.
I'd rather stay home and cry some more, but that won't help anything. So off, I go!

I hope its enough as my cellphone provider just increased rates by $5/mo. and I need to cut that bill down too. Life can suck sometimes.

busymom enjoy your DD's wedding and best wishes to her and her new hubby. toomuchreality I'm sorry to hear about your car and hope you can find a favorable resolution soon. I'm glad you are going to the wedding so that you are getting out of the house and getting your mind off the car. Besides there will be cake. I worked outside this morning until it became too hot. Now I'm doing some inside chores. My to-do list is over flowing and never ending.

I have worn a dress exactly once since 01/01/2000 and I don't intend to increase that number. I even wore dress slacks at DS2 wedding (after talking to DDIL first) busymom I hope this will be a wonderful wedding day

I slept in this morning. DD and family are probably coming over today so I need to get dressed and get going. I may make a batch of bar chocolate chip cookies so there are snacks in the house.

Good Afternoon Kids! Yesterday went by quickly, but it is a happy blur. We prepared as best we could for things that could possibly go wrong, but the weather cooperated, relatives behaved pretty well, and of course the bride was beautiful and the groom was handsome. I'm afraid I have no pictures. The photography company is telling us it'll be around 3 weeks or so before their pictures will be ready. That's ok. I've got a lot to catch up on at home, so maybe by the time I'm caught up I'll see pictures. A couple of big surprises included: wearing new shoes, with no nylons (per DD's request), and I had no blisters (yes, I had blister patches in my emergency kit just in case). Also, after over 8 hours of wearing my contact lenses, my eyes were still working just fine, so that was a huge blessing. We did have more people on the guest list bail at the last minute, but since the bride & groom got to keep all of the food leftovers, they shared with us & the groom's parents, so I've got enough food for about 4 meals. Since I haven't been to the grocery store recently, that's a huge help. Thanks for the wedding-themed brunch NancysSummerSip!
