It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood 🎵. Cue Mr Roberts.
I can't believe how many nice days we've had in a row! Like 3, or 4, maybe.
I can't remember having days like this, since I was a kid. I love it! It's 88°F, which would be too hot, if I were busy, in the direct sun. But, as usual, I am parked on my hammock. And the sun is behind a cloud, so it's very nice.

Good Evening Kids! It was another full day. But at least the temps have cooled off nicely here. Wish I lived just a bit further North, as many people have posted pictures of the Northern Lights that appeared last night.

Ugh. I just found out I have an inspection tomorrow. Not really a big deal, but I hate feeling judged.

Good Morning Kids! I just found out Reed Timmer is hanging out in our state today, planning to tornado chase. At least the bad weather isn't supposed to show up until after DS gets home from work, but I'm gonna go get my grocery shopping done now, so I don't have to deal with angry skies later.

I'm back from shopping but whew, the roads are CRAZY. Our local government must've got a lot of funding, because they're tearing up streets everywhere, and I have to keep changing my route to get anywhere. Then, to add to the chaos, the nearest interstate is getting extra lanes put in (thank you for the money Uncle Sam), so you have to allow lots of extra time to do the most basic errands. Oh, and I am purchasing something for myself that I have wanted for a long time: a new sewing machine, and I'll get to pick it up tomorrow.

I hope you all have a very good day!

We got through the storm just fine here. But both North & East of us, spotters were seeing funnel clouds. I hope to find out on this evening's news, or tomorrow if there was any damage. The "pond" behind our house has plenty of water right now.

I took a little me time today and went to a small local farmers market. I did find pears, which I had been looking for, at a decent price. A whole box came home with me and I will probably be canning pears this weekend. I also bought a loaf of homemade bread as a treat. After that I treated my car to a much needed wash and then got KFC for dinner. I will need to vacuum my car before mom arrives to visit but may take some more stuff to the so want to wait on that.

I slept with my windows and balcony door open last night, for fresh air. I enjoyed it. But it feels like fall is in the air, this morning. Right on time!
I want to go back to sleep for an hour. I hope I can.

Happy Friday peeps! I posted in the Flori-duh thread about the insanity regarding state parks and the idiot plan to stick golf courses and pickleball parks in them, and the outcry that has arisen. Count me as pissed off about this. Like, WT actual F ? It's been a nonstop news story and the goober governor has blamed the left-wing activists for making a big deal of it. Nah, not buying his crap. What's everyone planning this weekend? For tonight, I am making burgers and salad for myself, and DH and he can have fries with his too.

No, it's not raining. I did go back to sleep and I hear the sump pump running. It did rain last night. Officially 1.84 inches. I knew it sounded like it was raining hard.

I am babysitting my grands and their 2 bull dogs. Their parents have gone to dinner, in Deer Valley. I don't expect them home until midnight.
DD2 just text me. Her car (Escalade) broke down in Park City.
Their pest control people came by and some neighbor boys came to let the dogs out and feed them, but nobody told me they were coming.
Now I just want to go home. Sigh.

Hi Kids! It's been a good news/bad news kind of a day. I did get my new sewing machine, and it's made by Baby Lock, which I'd never heard of until now, but apparently they don't make the old standard brands as good as they used to, and this one has a good rating, so I'll give it a go. Medicare fixed DH's account, but now SS is messing with DS's account. Fix one problem & a new one pops up. Have you ever noticed how complicated paperwork always arrives just before the weekend, so you can't call in on it until the following week?

Now I just want to go home. Sigh. I got home from DD2s around midnight. They had to have her SUV towed from an hour, or so away. And they took an uber home. I planned on spending the night at their house, but since they got home earlier than expected (11?) and I forgot my meds, I decided to come home tonight. DGD1 lost her 2nd tooth today, at school. She was so pleased. Luckily, I had $10 cash, because her mom had forgotten to get some, for the tooth fairy, what with all the problems with her car. And luckily she thought to ask me, before I left Her car is only about a year old, so hopefully it will be covered by the warranty.

Got lots to do today but might be hard as I slept piecemeal yesterday. But still much better than a couple days ago where I only had possibly three hours of sleep. So probably need to heat up my brownies so I can pack them up into a container. I think I should have used an extra egg because they took so very long to bake and are quite fudgy. So time to do things I should have done in the latter half of yesterday plus some of my usual weekend stuff. As usual PT tired me out. I was getting tag team PT care yesterday. Not sure if that's good or bad but I was talking a lot because I was still waking up and nervous. Thankfully there was a guy who talked a lot as well. Had an interesting history of injuries and also liked cars. Apparently he was an Audi tech at one time so it was interesting to me. There was a young girl, probably HS age in serious sports there with her father. Learned that its possible to take cartilage from elsewhere and put it in the knee because of dad talking to former Audi guy. I might want to check that out if it can push knee replacement into the future and better quality of life now. I'm trying to learn about dogs too. Both my lead therapist and this guy have dogs. They discussed buying dog food at Costco to save money etc.

Happy Saturday peeps! Did the swim thing and got fresh bagels for the rest of the weekend -- I think bagel breakfast sandwiches will be good tomorrow, as I plan to trail run, and DH can eat his whenever he is ready and not wait for me.
I did some deep scrubbing in the master bath and detail my car interior. I will wash the outside tomorrow later in the day. Watching the Vuelta bike race on the big computer and planning out next week, as it will be busy. Chicken and tortellini for dinner tonight.

I have wasted too much of the day on politics and articles. Probably in part because I am sad, I don't think I can take advantage of NJ Transit's free fare week to get to the grocery store and buy the sale items I did not get because my disability funds were not in yet. I also need to write my letter on selling/letting the body shop have the car. I want the title transfer done correctly as it is not a salvage thing. I need good evidence to get AAA to cough up $$$ or the tow truck company. Will wait until after Labor Day to see if going through a lawyer is my best bet with AAA. I am clearer on what I want, and I need to understand what is legally likely and possible.
It took six months to get my car insurance to behave so I have been dreading this forever. Much like jumping the benefit hoops at work. I have lots of stuff to go through and sometimes I just not up to it.
At least by heating up my pan of brownies I was able to dislodge them easier and get them into a storage container. Just need to let them cool down before sealing it. So time to make sure things went through and set up various payments including rent. Would like the smaller disability check to show up today if possible. I might have to open a checking account temporarily simply to get rolls of quarters for laundry and cash. Its farther than going to the pharmacy but a good test for the bus stop.

Rent payment scheduled. I'm forgetting where things are but I put in the baby CC payment for the next due date. Need to do math this weekend and see if I should pay more now or wait. Need to balance and look at current other medical bills, electric and gas bills etc. Need to change phone carriers in September too. Letting sale mini rose live outside for the day.
And then writing the letter so it's ready by the time post office guy comes through. My attempt to find him after mail was dropped off was unsuccessful. So, it waits.
ETA - The post office guy came through more than an hour earlier than he told me yesterday it appears, so letter will go out when it does. Hopefully no later than Tuesday. Its written, but if it sits there all day, I might pull it out and make a handwritten copy or write it better. IDK.

Good Evening Kids! I did a bit of grocery shopping today, plus since we've got so many family birthdays in the Fall, did some looking around for gift ideas. I am still dog-tired, but need to get in gear to do some grilling on Monday for the holiday.
