I didn't realize it until just now, when I woke up. I fell asleep early, last night. I have no idea what time. Guessing, I would say 9PM. But I don't know.
I was going to cook/eat a burger, for dinner, but didn't. I got my groceries in and put away. That's the last thing I remember. I'm still in my clothes.
I love the little shopping cart I bought. It's perfect for bringing my groceries inside, now that I don't have open stairs to climb. Such a good investment!
And I love my new car. I really like having a back up camera. Every car should have one! My trunk space is amazing!

Good Morning Kids! The sun is shining now, but starting tonight it's supposed to rain all night long. I feel badly for the folks who are already dealing with flooding. We actually live within 2 miles of a major river, but we're uphill so the problems some folks are dealing with on the news aren't affecting us. We're supposed to get rain on the 4th too. Bummer, but we'll move the celebration indoors. DD & her new husband will be coming over. Gotta clean house!

Its day 3 of not successfully eating breakfast when I should if at all. So of course I was right about it was shit hit the fan time for me personally/physically/mentally etc.
Had nice cleansing storm yesterday about dinner time so I need to work on clothes laundry ... or at least that's the plan. Really hard driving rain for I think 15 to 20 minutes which did have small pieces of hail in it. On the last day of June in NJ. ,shakes head.

I have to find out when I have to pick up my underwear at Macy's. True. No Free shipping and they auto ship it back if you don't pick it up I think in 5 business days.

Well cared for and low miles. My Ford Focus' trunk area was full, just when put my shopping bags in it. And it had very limited leg room. The Altima has a ton of room in the trunk and a lot of leg room too. This is the first car I've owned with a back up camera. It's a smooth ride. 😊 What was the final outcome with your car?

My title is clear, i.e. I can sell it for a $1 to AAA, the mechanic/body shop holding it hostage, or play games. Right now since I am tired, #3 is my top choice.
I killed my AAA coverage so my malicious compliance option w/ AAA is off the table.
Technically I might still own it, but it could be fixed up waiting for better days at the body shop or ? IDK. I care but I don't need to be buried in the Red Knight. We did our best and its past time for his well-deserved rest.
aaa crap has to wait until dad ira crap settlement.
Nice. I like the Altima. It can be an Opti car. I hate all black interiors because of the heat etc., but that can be cured with seatcovers, towels or large tshirts.

I've never seen such a black interior before. It's really black. Luckily the A/C is excellent. I need to get a steering wheel cover, that doesn't get so flipping hot. That's my only complaint, so far. I have kept a "totaled" car before and had it fixed. It was mechanically sound, just needed a new fender, after someone hit me. I hope your situation improves soon. I know you liked your car. ETA-I take that back. My biggest complaint, is the tinted windows. It's hard to see out of them. I worry I won't see someone, when I change lanes. I might get that removed. We'll see.

DD2 invited me over for a BBQ on Thursday. I was going to go, then I thought about all the people that will be there, I don't know. Now I'm having 2nd thoughts.
I probably won't go. Hanging out with people I don't know, with a smile on my face, pretending to have a good time, doesn't sound like fun.
I hate making small talk with strangers.
Now I have 40, 16oz cups with stars and stripes on them, I won't use. (She didn't ask me to bring them. I just saw them and picked them up. I guess I can post them on FB.

Ugh, according to the 10 day forecast on Friday we start a 7 day streak of temps in excess of 100 degrees. The well guys should be starting my well today.

Good Afternoon Kids! An "angry bear" must've eaten my earlier post. I went to 3 different grocery stores to take advantage of the sales for the 4th of July. I still need 3 more things, but overall am pleased with what I've got.

I still need 3 more things, but overall am pleased with what I've got. Nice. I think my next sponsored shopping trip will be Sunday morning. Its the big shop so I'm giving my friend S at least $15 I think. Detail your score, please? S took me to three places I think this past Sunday as well, 6/30/24, the end of June. For me its traditional Karen is sic cuz sinuses and allergies and heat etc season. Of course it seems worse this year for some reason (and probably is). TJ's discontinued my beloved non dairy vegan bon bons in May. Missed getting some by at least 1.5 months.

TJ's discontinued my beloved non dairy vegan bon bons in May. Missed getting some by at least 1.5 months. My "best" score was Lay's Wavy potato chips. Everyone likes them at my house, and at any holiday I try & make sure there is stuff that people like, and will actually eat. I got 4 bags at $1.99 per bag of chips. That's really cheap for this area. I also got an apple pie from a bakery for $5.99. I'll still bake another pie, but it all helps. There's lots of good deals on fresh fruits & veggies right now, so I got strawberries, blueberries, and some mixed fresh veggies. I probably won't need to shop again until next week, other than a few random items.

Sometimes you just have to give into the nap. My original plan was to work in the yard until it got too hot. The well guys were later than I anticipated so I missed the cool part of the morning. I needed to sign the contract and pay the down payment so didn't want to get dirty. I've had a headache for days now and I know it because of all the stress from the well. I came inside intending to do some housework and instead laid down on the couch and slept 1 1/2 hours. I would probably still be asleep except a neighbor called me. My headache is now slightly better. It is just a dull ache instead of a throb.

Good Morning Kids! I'll be running like a fool today to get ready for the 4th. DH already mowed the backyard early before leaving for work. I need to do 3 errands, then I'll be baking. The house still needs some love, but is gradually looking better. Two dogs that shed isn't helping me much. It's a good thing they're cute!

a good morning to all the peeps! I got all dirty this morning - I kickboxed, then fixed the dryer, then helped DH install a new outdoor light. Did a little weeding and vacuumed the house. My washer needs a new setting - "hopelessly stinky" would do.

I've done some online shopping this morning. Wednesday is the day I go to town to pick up my prepared meals.
I wanted to buy stamps before the prices goes up again. I send Christmas cards and they actually had leftover Christmas stamps.

Dinner tonight is leftover meatloaf and roasted veggies.
Fourth of July is BBQ chicken sliders, salads and corn on the cob. Nothing really difficult.

DD2 just called me about their BBQ tomorrow. I was going to bow out, but she made it sound like not many people will be there. So I said I'll come, but don't know how long I'll stay. She said that's fine, so I don't feel obligated to stay very long. I'll just make a short appearance, then leave.
They've had a lot of yard work done since I was there last and she sounded excited for me to see it. That's why I'm going.
It does bring me anxiety though.
I stopped at the liquor store yesterday, so I can have an adult beverage afterward.

Just went outside to mow and edge the front lawn -- it's only 90 out. Feels-like temperature is 104. Yup, that is exactly what it feels like.

I've got some wine coolers that are going in the fridge, but I won't touch them until tomorrow after company leaves. I just took 2 pies out of the oven, and now I need to get back to playing cleaning fairy...
