Lin, that was my question, since the papers were filed with the court didn't they have to be dissolved with the court? He said you can pay money to go to the court but if both parties agree that they want to live together again there is nothing that has to be done. I guess it doesn't matter because we didn't change any of the financial stuff and we both have our own trusts.
Had to cancel dinner once again, Babe was so dizzy he fell down twice. This is not easy and I am feeling a little sorry for myself which I will get over but I couldn't leave him to go to pool so I was upset.
We will see if he can make the dermatologist appointment tomorrow but I am going with our without him.
Have a nice rest of your day.

One Day at a Time1 -
Well my day was interesting and Jilly's day was interesting. We expected Michael over for lunch but we didn't expect a red car to show up with him in it and his friend Sandy driving it. Michael said she showed up at his place and sort of invited herself over. No skin off my nose, the more the merrier, but Jilly was really put out. She clung to Michael like a leech and I don't think it helped when I put chicken out for her and Sandy's little dog Amber. The one with the recent teeth removal. Cut very small for little Amber. Amber wolfed her portion down at record speed as though she hadn't eaten for days, shoved Jilly out of the way and wolfed Jilly's portion down as well. My problems began because I had no idea Sandy was coming over and Sandy has food allergies like you wouldn't believe. I had a leek and brie quiche for lunch prepared with salad followed by maple walnut ice cream. Turns out Sandy is allergic to nuts in all forms and surprisingly leeks. A big discussion by me and Mike on what to feed her. Sandy said she wasn't hungry having had a big bowl of cereal for breakfast. She ended up just eating some cake I had and me feeling awful and a bad hostess. If only Mike had phoned me when they first set off for my place I could have found out what she COULD eat. I could have rustled something up.
Anyway, with Amber gone, Beans slept all afternoon now she doesn't have to defend her territory anymore.
SANDY, your new life style will take some getting used to. I was given all sorts of advice from Michaels Sandy whilst she was here. She was a medical receptionist and has very strong opinions on how us oldies should live [although I was told my house is lovely and clean!] When one is happy and contented with ones independent lifestyle having adapted to the limitations of old age its most annoying to be told how one should go to various churches, old age centres etc to replace ones long gone friends and become "involved". I did feel like telling her to put a sock in it, but I'm too ladylike, lol.
Ah well, it takes all sorts to make a world but I sincerely hope I'm not about to become a project and pet guinea pig. She invited herself to my ex's place in Quebec on Mikes recent visit. I'd love to know if he was "sorted' out as well.

It has been exceptionally hot here the last three days so I've limited my outdoors time to before noon. Our heat pump is keeping the house cool although it has had to work extra hard all day. My Sunday walking friend is back from her Alaska trip so she came over to walk this morning but the heat kept our walk short. Bessie is adjusting to being an only dog and is enjoying walking at her own pace and for short distances. Bernie misses Sasha and seems to be spending more time in my lap. We are adjusting. Tomorrow we have the carpet cleaners coming. The pets won't like it, but Jake is excited about it.Sandy, what a huge adjustment for you and Babe. You are an extremely principled person to be bringing Babe into your home. A new manufactured home was brought into our neighborhood this morning. The streets are narrow and have some difficult corners so it was a huge challenge for the crew with the heat as another problem. I watched for a few minutes until it got too warm for me and then walked back a few minutes ago to see the house settled in its new lot. There's still a lot to do before it will be ready for occupancy.

Happy Monday! Another beautiful day! Babe is not going to dermatologist appointment although he is better today but doesn't feel he can make it down the stairs. My gut tells me I better move to a first floor place but finding an affordable one is going to be really hard and I don't know if I can do that before my lease is up. This is much harder than I thought it would be but I still don't know where he would have gone if not with me. This too shall pass and I will take it one day at a time.
Barbie, I am curious as to what a heat pump is? Do you not have a furnace that controls heat and A/C?
Adjustments are hard for all of us who were used to a certain routine even our furry kids. Not sure I could have taken Babe in without Al Anon, it helps me in every aspect of my life.
Anne, poor Jilly, I bet she was glad when Amber went home. My DIL is like Sandy and it is so hard to cook for her. She usually brings her own breakfast and lunch to make things easier for me and we go out to eat so she can have leftovers the next day. I am with you on having people tell me what to do when I have my own routine. I know they mean well but we are older and set in our ways so leave us alone. lol
Hello to everyone else and I hope you have a wonderful day.
Sandy

Ah SANDY, someone who understands!
Marks here renovating or whatever he is doing in the depths of the house. After all the [ignored] advice I decided to take Jilly for a nice long walk reckoning if I fell down Mark would sooner or late notice I wasn't around. We made it back without any melodramatics, lol.
Are there any first floor apartments empty in your building, or maybe you could do a swap with someone? We will have to get LIN to design you a congratulation card after you've made the first few months! I'm thanking my lucky stars that me and "he who shall not be named" are so totally different there's absolutely no chance of me feeling sorry for him out there in them thar Quebec hills. You are quite brilliant and I admire you enormously,

Oh drat! I hate it when I pour my heart and soul into a post and then lose it! The post just flew away, off to the upper left of the screen, never to be seen again.
Back later after I get laundry done. Cooler today, thanks be to God!

Hello…..I couldn’t get anywhere on MFP for a while today. Finally got a login screen and wahoo, I am back!
What a day. I had a dead laptop this morning. Woooo. You all know how long it can take to get things working again. 🤦🏼♀️ I think all is well now.
Okay, so I drove down to the post office this morning to mail all of the 4th of July cards that had been addressed and stamped. It was a busy spot! I got the last parking place. Afterwards, I headed towards the library but took a detour to get a car wash. There was no one in the wash bays and no line at all, only one person using the coin pay vacuum. So I got a nice car wash for the little car. This was the second bath the poor devil has received since 2020. Now to get to the other vehicle one of these days.
I did make it to the library to return books, pick up books and to receive my reading prize for the summer program. Anyone want a pencil and pencil case? 😁
I paid bills this afternoon, hunted again for the few addresses I still need (no success). I picked up my prescription refill and when I got home again, I got a phone call from a lady at church and we talked for a little while but I never did get an opportunity to ask her if she had my missing addresses.
Patsy, I am so sorry about the vanishing post. I really understand that!
Anne, aha, being feisty today. Well, good for you. I am very unhappy to hear of people being pushed about and being told what to do. I suppose some people are trying to be helpful but perhaps more folks like the power to make others march to their drummer. That is something I don’t like at all. I feel powerless and hemmed in.
Sandy, yes, more big decisions to make perhaps. A first floor apartment or one with an elevator may be more flexible in the coming years. Apartments are difficult to find. My dental hygienist was telling me last time I was in the office that her daughter was looking for a different apartment (lease expiring) and the rents have skyrocketed. Not much to choose from in her price range. Good luck!
Barbie, I hope the carpet cleaners did a good job and didn’t cause too much havoc.
Jackie, this is the year of the pest here. This afternoon, I picked Japanese beetles from my Zinnias. Ack! Oh, and leaf miners are ruining the leaves on my runner bean. They aren’t suppose to kill things but if plants have to have a significant number of leaves removed, that is not very good for their growth. And the bunnies are chomping down leaves on various plants. I sprayed again for aphids after I watered this morning. Everything I purchase is supposed to be organic and not dangerous to humans. I hope that is true! I heard that we have an invasion of potato bugs around here as well. Hope they miss me!
Well, I should move along. Need to get the trash out, do my dishes and try once more to finish addressing cards.
Be safe everyone.
Lin🙋🏼♀️

The carpet cleaner was here. We moved the smaller furniture and she's cleaned around the big pieces. Jake and I sat on dining room chairs that we moved into the kitchen, Bessie lay between us on some towels, and Bernie hid under the bed in the uncarpeted bedroom. The carpet is dry now so we can begin putting the small furniture back where it belongs. It looks greatSandy I know it is because of all your years of practicing the Al-Anon program that have been able to behave in such a principled way toward Babe.Heat pump There is no natural gas on the North Olympic Peninsula where we live so our furnace is electric, Many people here have a heat pump that works with the furnace to give us more heat in the winter and more cool in the summer.. When we bought our house in 2011, the furnace needed to be replaced and we were able to take advantage of a good price and good financing on the furnace and heat pump together. Barbie

Happy Tuesday! Beautiful day once again. I showed a picture of Babe's ear to the dermatologist and he said to get him in asap. I called today but couldn't get an appointment until July 9th. We do have an appointment with the ENT next Tuesday so hopefully someone can cure this ugly sore. I myself, was cancer free with a full body scan so I can continue to do what I love and sit in the sun. (I say that not the doctor) lol. We are going to go to the social security office to try to get a new card because trying to do it online isn't working. He needs to have an ID with this current address for a business dealing and without a social security card it is impossible to get one. I will be so happy when all these doctors and paperwork get done. I have a few of my own appointments as well so busy times.
I was hoping to respond to all of you but I better get moving.
Have a great day and enjoy the sunshine.
Sandy

Hello Sneakers, yesterday was non stop so I didn’t find a moment to post. Several hours over coffee and cake with Linda, walking the dogs and dealing with emails to and from the local council about my tenancy. The Clerk had agreed a refund of my rent for my last week when’s someone has already taken over working there. I drove there in the evening and met Linda and her son who had offered to help me collect my last gardening items including 2 hefty paving slabs. They had already arrived on site when I got there to find Linda confronting the new tenant about why he was there but it turns out the nasty man had told him he could begin in the 22nd even though he’d told the Clerk he wouldn’t until July 1st. It turned out to be someone who was a tenant when I was secretary of the association that had left a couple of years ago so since I know him to be a nice person, we had a chat and agreed he stay and I would go. Linda’s son Adam helped me back home to carry the incredibly heavy slabs to the bottom of my garden and I can finally move on and forget the nastiness.
The phone engineer visited this morning just as I finished making a pot of coffee and since he said he thought it smell delicious, I poured him a mug and he then delved into the connection box. It turns out it was probably the thunder storm weekend before last that sent an electrical surge through the wires and singed the ends because they were a sooty black. He reset everything in the new box and ensured the internet updated itself before leaving and I then discovered 8 messages left on the service, 3 from an ex boss whose wife recently passed away, wanting me to go to her funeral. I struggle with that because when I worked with him he was having a long term affair with someone in the company and treating his wife badly so I his talk now of what an angel his wife was seems hypocritical Not for me to judge I know!
It has poured with rain all day so apart from some vacuuming I’ve done nothing more than watch the movie Amistad on Netflix that I found very emotional. My ordered paperback of Louisa May Alcott’s novel has arrived so I’ve also something to enjoy reading!
It’s Wimbledon fortnight so rainy days won’t be a problem! Serena Williams currently playing, not that I enjoy her powerful, slam, bang game. Unbelievably, after alll the heat last week, this evening I’ve lit the wood burner!
The orange teapot is hilarious Lin and such a clever design. The faces from the previous day might just give me nightmares!
I’m very quick to stop any suggestions of how I should live my life with the comment, I would never tell others how to live theirs. I believe you have to reach our sort of age to appreciate what it’s all about mentally and physically!
Sandy, my only thought on your current situation is it’s early days so perhaps don’t rush into any decision to move until you and Babe discover why the dizziness is happening.
So many pests Lin! 😠 Can you cover your plants with netting to keep them at bay?
Such a massive change for you and your beloved pets Barbie but it seems your furries are doing a grand job of comforting each other. ❤️
My ordered paperback of Louisa May Alcott’s novel has arrived so I’ve something to enjoy reading!
Well, Serena continues to slam the tennis ball so I’ll settle down with my book.

Jackie, I think I heard Serena lost in the first round so you won’t have to hear more from her. 😄
The dentist’s office was slammed with people this afternoon. I was told it had been that way all day. Emergencies, procedure that took longer than anticipated, people not arriving on time.
Even so, the dentist was very calm and made sure I was comfortable as possible. He is a nice guy. The crown wouldn’t come off easily so lots of work for him drilling, cutting and prying (gently) to finally remove it. The work was then completed on the cavity that had developed under the crown and I now have a temp crown. Instructions to stay away from gum and anything sticky as well as anything crunchy or hard until I have the permanent crown.
I see the near term future filled much applesauce, yogurt, and maybe pudding (if I get to the store).
I am going to make a cup of tea and hope I don’t drool out the side of my mouth which is still numb. 🤪
Be safe everyone.

I’m waking up slowly after a late night exchange of emails with Linda. I’ve discovered the local authority is turning in on itself as another councillor has resigned under a cloud so hopefully Linda’s threat of eviction will grind to a halt because they won’t want an accusation of breaking equality laws going public. We just need Mr Nasty to fall by the wayside. 😁
I’m sipping coffee before my shower and planning a quiet day, giggling at your comment Lin (yes, I was cheering Tan on to win just to prove finesse can succeed over power) and in wonder at Anne’s magic beet seeds. Is it MJ’s green fingers or yours Anne?
Happy Wednesday. I will check back later.
Looks showery outside. ☔️
Jackie 🥰0 -
The same as JACKIE I will sign in later but wanted to wish all good morning on a cheerless rainy day so far. Neither me nor MM Jackie, just a shiny newly bought packet of beetroot seeds and Mother Nature in the form of heat and humidity and watering by me. I was rather surprised to see the seedlings because nothing there early yesterday morning and there they were at 4 pm 4 days on from sowing!
I had a bad night tossing and turning and thought I'd get it off my chest early. I learned yesterday that one of my favourite managers at work had died. Vic. He was British and had been widowed in his early fifties. He never remarried but spent his vacations with his three kids and skiing in the winter in BC or golfing in the states. Younger than me. hey everyone is younger than me these days, it didn't help to find another very decent manager at work had died as well. I'm nervously thinking there's got to be a third when dear Flo phoned. Flo was having one of her good days but she rang to tell me Evelyn her sister in law had also died. I really liked Evelyn. She put up with Flo and I on our trip to the rockies. A pretty blonde German lady she read tarot cards and was quite a character. Flo's 87 year old brother will be devastated. So of course I go to bed and I'm thinking of all the lovely family, and friends now gone in my life.
Flo is in early dementia. She comes and goes. She told me she had looked everywhere for Susie her cat, even putting water down for her and ordering cat food on her grocery delivery. Finally she phoned her neighbour to see if she had seen Susie only to be told Susie had died 6 years ago. No wonder my mind was whirling in the wee hours! Poor Flo is aware she has a big problem which can't help and her family are trying to find a home near me to put her in for safety and so she can see me again. However she can't give up smoking [a senior home requirement] despite her son looking and finding hidden packets and lighters. She now lights her cigerettes with turned on oven burners and scraps of paper. No wonder I couldn't sleep last night!
Sorry to bore you all with that, but its helped me writing it down, lol.
Off for a shower, ta ta, toodle do, etc.
Anne.

Happy Wednesday! I did go to pool yesterday and it felt great. Instead of going to social security we are going to go to DMV for our Real ID's. They will be required by next May but since I think we have the right documents for a Real ID it will be faster than waiting for the social security card. They at least have a senior line for shorter waits. Babe says he thinks he can manage to go today so wish us luck.
Tomorrow is testing with the neurologist so I do hope he can manage to go and get it done.
Anne, I too say death comes in three's so when I hear of two I kind of just wait for the third. Wow, still smoking at 87, amazing. I was surprised Babe quit when I told him he couldn't move in here if he didn't.
He does chew Nicorette which is gum with nicotine and even that annoys me since he has a bad heart.
They would be better off letting Flo have a lighter so she doesn't catch on fire or burn the house down. but that is just my opinion.
Jackie, is your Mr. Nasty related to that guy with the orange hair that used to be our president?? They both sound like they are head cases.
Lin, I hope your mouth is feeling better and you can enjoy your cup of coffee without drooling. At least you should be out of pain with the new crown.
Patsy, have I missed a post from you? Hope all is well, the same for you Barbie.
Have a great day,
Sandy

Hello! After my disappearing post yesterday and maybe the day before, I began to wonder….what what is going on here? Here I am. Back at my old pop-stand, as we used to say. Yesterday was quite chilly after that horribly hot weekend. There is a fog bank that might burn off soon. Until then, who knows if it will get sunny, rainy or what?
We are still enjoying an evening episode of Monk, the writers must know or have an OCD sufferer in their midst. Actually the sufferer is in actuality those around an OCD person. John seems fine with all his odd obsessions. I go crazy seeing it. After a lifetime together, we have worked out ways to cope with each of our crazies. Ooooooops! It appears I have crazies as well!
I continue my efforts to get cleaned up and get rid of too much stuff in our house and our life. So far this effort hasn’t been wholly successful but the effort never stops. I have decided to work on one room at a time. I am in the kitchen now. Throwing out spices, long dried up and useless. Etc!
Smoking killed most of my family, including my mom. It is a dreadful habit that becomes an addiction and is very difficult to get over. My dad never got over nicotine addiction. My mom stopped smoking too late, when she got lung cancer. Same as my little brother. What I soon realized was, they had no choice. The tobacco companies were making the evil cigarettes more addictive with certain additives.
We have a scary family of squirrels living under our deck. If they get in the house, havoc will reign. I called our county extension agent about deterrents but they want me to trap them with a rat trap. Not sure can do that. Maybe but wish they would move out into the forest.
Life’s interesting challenges.
Patsy☘️😘❤️

Hello. I will get the new crown in about a week. Meanwhile, my face is quite tender and oh boy, sensitivity on the temp crown is over the moon. I tried to hunt for more soft food items today but could find nothing but a few individual cups of applesauce and a few relatively ripe bananas. Walmart didn’t have anything that I wanted and I could only order mouthwash to be sent to my house. So I made a stop at the nearby drugstore. Whole Foods had some items but there were warnings on each item when I put them in the cart of low inventory. Didn’t try to order there.
Sandy, I am not drooling. Progress! I hope all went well today at DMV and that you didn’t have to wait too long. I do hope Babe will be able to go to the neurologist’s appointment tomorrow. Did you go to the pool alone yesterday?
Patsy, there are many seasons of Monk so I can well believe you are still watching episodes. Who’s your favorite side-kick/gal Friday? I really liked Sharona but settled in on the change over to Natalie. I just liked the show I guess. Hummm, if you cannot trap the squirrels, can you call a pest service and have them take care of it?
Anne, I am sorry you had a night of tossing and turning. I hate that. You feel so exhausted the next day. I hope you sleep well tonight. I hope no more bad news arrived today.
Jackie, I hope you have been enjoying your day. How are George and Betty? I hope no additional bad guys cross your path. How many weeks until your vacation?
I paid some more bills today, balanced my checkbook, exchanged emails and messages with a few people. I need to water my plants later, they didn’t need it this morning.
I need to sign off now to write a few more messages.
Best wishes.
Lin🙋🏼♀️

As a birthday gift for my dog walking friend who cuts Jake's hair and does so many kind things for us, I invited her over for an extra dance session today. We dance every Friday so this was an extra treat. After we finished dancing, she cut Jake's hair. He says she does a better job than any barber he's ever gone to. When I first met her she was caring for her husband whose Alzheimers had already progressed to the point that he didn't remember her name and could be left alone only for 30 minutes or so while it was still dark and he was asleep. I learned a lot about love and patience from her. Barbie 0

Good morning. Of course, with it being Wimbledon fortnight I’m distracted from most other things! We had torrential rain for most of yesterday afternoon so I felt I was allowed to sit and watch, then when it eased off for 10 minutes and I went outside to feed the hens their afternoon tea I was aware everything growing in the garden was saturated so nothing to entice me out. At least my huge water butt is full again! The crowds at Wimbledon were soaking up the sun so completely different.
We’ve had a lovely walk this morning and I’m sitting enjoying my coffee looking through paint colour charts, trying to decide on a colour to cover the mauve I don’t like in the snug.
Another adorable teapot Lin that would match my dining room perfectly. I’ll have to do a Google search, see if I can find one for sale. 😁. My week away isn’t until mid September, once the school summer break is over. Don’t worry, I will now be wearing a string of garlic around my neck to keep the nasty men away! 🧛🏻 😆
Sandy, I do hope you can persuade Babe to visit the Neurologist so you will both know what, if anything you’re dealing with. As for Mr Nasty, he certainly has all the personality traits of your ex ginger leader but is completely bald and pale!!
Patsy, yesterday I found myself absorbed in a YouTube video made by a young man by the name of Al Bladez who apparently once a week stops at random properties with overgrown gardens and offers to clear the area for free just because he likes to help people. I thought of you and John but think Al lives in Florida! He speeds up the videos that he makes but there is something incredibly relaxing about them as he whizzes about on a John Deere stand on mower. George watches them too with his head cocking to one side then the other so I’m not sure Katie would like the buzzing noises! Hopefully your lawn carers will be just as industrious!
https://youtu.be/FZX94O1fS6s
Just a thought, because you know my silly feelings about all creatures great and small, could you trap the squirrels and release them on the outer edges of your property or do you think they will make their way back?
Anne, I remember people lighting a cigarette with a roll of paper was a common habit about 50 years ago so I’m guessing Flo’s memory has taken her back to the past. From the stories you’ve told about your local care homes, her family will need to be aware otherwise you might find yourself with huge worries. When I spent a couple of years working in the community I quickly learned that trying to bring people with dementia back to some sort of reality is too stressful for them so better to take yourself into their world, within reason of course! Barbie is right of course, it’s all about love and patience and that’s something you have oodles of! I’m so sorry because you are such good friends in spite of her illness so no wonder the worry is keeping you awake.
Clouds rolling up but no predicted rain yet so I’ll get a couple of outside jobs done.
Jackie 🥰

PATSY all our squirrels live in trees. Maybe yours are just burying their rations ready for the winter? The only things that live under our decks, and not to be trifled with; are skunks and racoons. Oh and the odd rabbit of course.
JACKIE, I suspect Flo might have a yearning to come and live not close to me but with me. That won't happen partly because the place is upside down with Marks project but also because he wouldn't allow it. He has enough on his plate keeping an eye on aging me! I have to be sure to take my mobile with me when Bean and I go walkies etc.
When Flo and I talk I'm never quite sure if what she is telling me is what she thinks rather than the reality. She told me her daughter is moving way up North [Thunder Bay Area] and taking early retirement at 59. The son who is younger she says gets very frustrated with her and isn't a great help.
She also gets up very late but this morning in the bathroom at 7 am I could hear her on my answering machine. She said she was waiting in for a grocery delivery. At 7 am!!!!! I phoned her back but she didn't pick up.
BARBIE, your friend sounds a wonderful friend indeed. Tony next door to me is at the stage of calling Maria his cleaning lady if he ever calls her anything at all. He is getting easier to deal with because he sleeps a lot these days.
Well, I had better go and water the seedlings now MJ tells me it must be in the morning. I was waiting for grocery delivery as well, and I put everything away prior to writing.

Happy Thursday! Back from the neurologist who did a nerve and muscle test with electric shocks and needles. Babe said it didn't hurt but was uncomfortable. The doctor said he has some damage from having two discs removed and has neuropathy in his feet. Nothing too serious so nothing to do at this point. He increased the medication he gave him to 10 mg instead of 5 and hope that helps the dizziness.
The next test is in August and that will be for Neurology Autonomic. I think that will show more of what causes his dizziness. The doctor also said he should drink lots of water and guzzle two bottles when he feels extremely dizzy. When leaving I asked the tech if he knew how old the doctor was without realizing the doctor was in the office across the hall and he answered 34. I told him I thought he was young but was hard to tell because of masks. I also told him I like young doctors because they learn the latest and newest treatments. I was slightly embarrassed but I am outspoken. lol
I want to run a couple of errands instead of pool since it is near 90 and I am already showered and dressed for the day. Sometimes it can be too hot to go to the pool????????????
Have a great day.
Sandy

On the subject of young doctors, after we left our visit with the new veterinarian a few years ago, Jake said he was amazed that she knew so much since she clearly looked like she was still in middle school 1

Good evening. The day was a blur of working on a birthday card that had to be mailed today and it ended up needing special handling so I had to run down to the post office to figure out how to get it sent. Sent as a package, oh my! $$
Ordered a few groceries this morning and the rest of the time, I was on the phone. Amazing number of calls with friends today.
Veggies have been watered and I ate the green beans I picked today. Yum.
Be safe everyone.

I was going to buy sand shoes or beach shoes today. THEN:
A lovely friend on the internet sent me a HAPPY CANADA DAY card when I opened the laptop and dumb cluck here realized, HEY ITS CANADA DAY! No shopping after all, and I think I'll leave the renovation stuff that Mark put out yesterday for garbage collection exactly where it is - outside. The downside of being in ones senior years, you don't know which end is up, except Mark must have forgotten as well and he's only 57.
Mike will be over to bath Jilly. I'll call it a celebratory bath, but in actuality the pongy little thing rolled on something.
Which reminds me, are you sure it isn't mice under your deck PATSY or chipmunks? I get field mice as well as the chippies.
All for now but HAPPY CANADA DAY TO EVERYONE. Any excuse, LETS HAVE A PARTY!
