For some unknown reason, I have a "miscellaneous $90" charge on my rental bill. What the heck? Miscellaneous?! I'm assuming it's because they moved my car to a lower level, when they re-did the parking structure. I moved my car, so I thought it was fine. However, the levels/areas of the parking garage are not marked anywhere and they apparently included where I parked, as the 3rd floor. I thought it was the 2nd floor,since that's what the elevator entrance says. I'm so angry! I will talk to them on Monday. I sure hope I win this argument! I don't have $90, or even $20, to give them! Crap! Good luck. Hopefully if you do have to pay them something, they might settle for $10 or less since you don't know what you did wrong. Hoping to wash my quilt today and take off the lightweight comforter. Did not bring it with me to my friend S's laundromat when I found out the likely cost of just a wash. Makes sense for the comforter as it barely fits in these machines, but I think the quilt will work. More rain and thundershowers afternoon into evening. Might like to rollate over t CVS later especially if the $4 off coupon expires today.
So tired. Lots to do. Would like to get some nitrile gloves at CVS for applying the Advil cream to my knee and also to have pairs for handling Crestie. Maybe that will stress him less and the blue color might confuse him. I have to email the complex to let them know rent is going to be late, but hopefully no later than Friday. That is going to hurt with the fees. I was hoping to just pay an overdraft fee to my bank.

I did run, but around the neighborhood, due to the weather. Breezy and sunny now, but rain is coming. Dishwasher is running and bathrooms are clean. I would like to get out and weed some, but will wait until the clouds arrive.
I made a packaged blueberry mix so we would have some in the freezer - I had never tried this brand, and they were a BOGO. Not bad. Not very sweet, which I prefer. Next time, I might add some fresh blueberries or maybe a past-prime banana.

Good Afternoon Kids! It is steamy hot here once again. I've been joking that I'm back in FL again, minus the hurricane. I hope everyone of our friends who is in the path stays safe! I got a great deal on some strawberries, so I've gotta bake. We'll have strawberry shortcake after dinner tonight.

I had a long nap this afternoon and it was greatly needed. Last night DD, the kids and I went to the local parade for the kick off of county fair. This little town knows how to do parades. The kids end up with more candy than at Halloween. I was handed a watermelon, and DD was handed an onion. The large frozen potato and fry company in the region had their french fry truck in the parade and were handing out trays of fresh cooked french fries. The Tillamook cheese baby loaf van was also in the parade and they were handing out snack size cheese samples. The parade was 2 hours long and really a lot of fun. People were cheering all the floats When I got home from church there were two large cantaloupes and a large sack full of fresh picked corn on the front porch from my neighbor. I'm set for several days now with fresh produce.

So probably a textbook steamy NJ Aug day. Might be our only dry day of the week per NJ12.

Good Morning Kids! I've got a long phone call with an insurance advocate for DS in less than an hour. It's raining cats & dogs here. Yup, it's Monday.

I survived! Just over an hour call, and the gal IS very nice, but it's a brain drain. And now I get to do this twice a year with this particular group rather than once a year. It's still raining hard here, and the pond behind our property has reappeared, and is getting bigger. Pretty soon the ducks will probably return. Yes, we actually get wild ducks that land & try to swim in that tiny, temporary pond.

I didn't know ducks ever did that. I'm glad your phone call is over, for a few months.

Maintenance was just here, unannounced. I was in my pajama pants, so wasn't going to answer. When they knocked again, I grabbed my robe and answered. (I can't see out my peephole, because a decorative item is hanging in front of it.)
It's time to dress and go to the office. Ugh.

I talked to the office and they are unwilling to remove the $90 tow fee, because the car was towed.
I don't disagree about the car being towed. I disagree with them saying my car was parked where it shouldn't have been, so they towed it, when the levels of the parking lot are not marked. The closet thing to a mark is the elevator, which said I was on level two. The work was being done on levels three and four.
I'm not happy.

Sharon guess what? I bought a version of what you posted from CVS. I am testing it out.

I'm going to dinner tonight, with my kids and grands. We're going to try a new(?) Mexican restaurant. It's taco Tuesday.

Hey Kids! Good Evening! It's been a long day, with DD needing to stop by to get my scanner/printer working again. I can survive without a scanner, but not a printer, but thankfully both are working now.
Prayers & positive thoughts are appreciated, as we have to get up horribly early tomorrow. DH is scheduled for some outpatient surgery. It's a long drive from home, but fortunately I mostly know the area the surgical center is at.

Popping in to say Hi!
I just took a walk around the neighborhood - my neighbors are having their driveway/front yard redone and there is a bulldozer regrading and scraping.
I need caffeine in a minute so off to make some coffee.

Whew! I am back home to stay. I dropped off DH at home after his surgery, then went to the local drug store to fill a couple of prescriptions for him. Unfortunately, they had trouble getting a pharmacist in, but had one when I got there, but had a long wait. I think I'm gonna need a nap this afternoon.

I think I need a nap as well, but I only drank 8 oz of water during the grocery trip today so I am behind at least 17 oz minimum. Tired. Its cooler today than expected. Maybe its because the track of Debby is now headed inland?

I miss going to the Great Swamp and other local nature areas to get some nature and check out what's going on.

It has cooled down here. I'm not complaining, as I didn't want it to be crazy-hot nor storming when I had to take DH home. One more early morning (surgeon is an early bird), then I hope we can have some calm for a bit.
