Flea Are you going to have your house assessed by an independent assessor? I believe I would do that.
>>>Have been in a funk and couldn't figure out why til this morning. Saturday, Feb 15 will be the anniversary of my mom's passing. It's been 9 years and I've accepted it, just not quite used to it yet, I guess. Still think of her and my dear friend who passed 16 years ago in March when I see or do things that only they would understand the significance of.
Evelyn, Vancouver Island where it's raining, again. Sigh. (at least it's a gentle rain, not like the downpours of the last few weeks!)
Evelyn, I understand this so well…March marks the passing of Dad, my sister Dana, and Mom, in 1981, 2000, and 2001. Some years it sneaks up on me.
I'm so sorry you lost your mother and your dear friend. What were they like?

I will recommend it. Thanks for the suggestion.

Flea - Hugs to you it sounds like a true mess.
Carol - I don’t think that’s cheating, I think it’s smart. Here in Canada we don’t have to worry about those things as much, but my Grandmother signed everything over to my brother and mother years before she passed so the government couldn’t get anything. She even changed her bank account to their names
Debby - I wouldn’t be able to have the pre packaged meals in my house either, I don’t even care for leftovers. My husband was like yours for years but since I finally got him to a doctor who told him to lose weight he is taking it very seriously.
Well the week is almost done! Tomorrow is a special lunch for the residents and we as staff are allowed to purchase is we choose. It is pasta and salad. I don’t know if I’ll partake or not.
I have taken a lunch all week so far and been eating homemade meals at night until tonight when hubby wanted burgers. This is only the 2nd time since December when he used to want them 2 or 3 nights a week. I agreed so I didn’t have to cook. Way over on calories now.

This was my memory on Facebook this morning from 4 years ago. The top photo is my eldest daughter, Lauryn. The bottom is her daughter taken at the same age in the same dress. Funnily enough there are pictures of my Mom, myself and Lauryn at a different age in sitting poses and we all look alike.

Sitting and reading while plumbers are installing new water heater. We have been without water in half the house since Sunday evening. Had to get electrician in before new water heater. He came yesterday. We should have water tonight. Yay!
Flea - hugs
Pip - Enjoy the new car.
Love all the grandbaby pictures.
Everyone take care Sue in WA5 -
Flea: What a tough situation. But you sound strong and resourceful. Hugs to you and your family.
Amber: You are brilliant. Kudos on the precision and pre-planning.
Karen in VA: Lilliana ❣
Heather: Thirty four years ago, my mother died intestate and left behind an empty lot on a beach in her homeland of El Salvador. At the time of her passing neither my brother or I had any interest in pursuing the inheritance. I thought for sure that due to our neglect, the land would be squatted on and permanently lost. Fast forward to a month ago when a gentleman called and asked if he could purchase our inheritance rights to the land. He and his attorney have been going through all the tedious steps to legally (a) evict the squatters, and (b) purchase and develop the land with a clean title. We already got a significant deposit on the agreed sum, a windfall that will make a positive difference to my brother who had been unemployed for some time. Mom must be smiling down on us. You just never know.
Have hunkered down this week to complete paperwork for DH's Vet's Club enrollment, and get our taxes done. Whew, big relief to get those checked off. Now just waiting for the club to let me know when he can start, which I think will be next week. This should be interesting!
My broken foot is keeping me awake at night. It's the foot that broke at the same time that I broke both ankles while sight seeing at Mesa Verde National Park. It's been seen by 3 orthopedic specialists and a podiatrist. All say it's the kind of fracture that can't be pinned back together surgically, and my best bet is to give the natural tissue time to grow and bridge the bone fragments and tendons together. Because it's not painful during the day, I tend to forget and engage in wrong activities or wear softer soled shoes, which just aggravate the situation. Grrrrr.
Stay well friends. We can do this, and then some.

Just enjoying the beauty of NOW

Took the Power hour class today. The plan for tomorrow is to do a step DVD
Heather – what an honor
Allie – I agree with Okie. Remember the job you were offered in Sarasota? Well, sad to say, but at our age we need to go where the job is. That is, IF you are really interested in finding another job. Your experience is a great asset to any dentist. Take advantage of it. You CAN do this. It may mean relocating. Trust me, I know how difficult relocating can be. I moved from PA to NC, didn’t know a soul. Were you only looking at jobs close to where you live right now? Expand your search. Your family and friends can and will come to visit you.
In a way the recycling down here is really sad. I can understand that when the cans are full, you have to make sure they close because of the high winds they get sometimes. They don’t want garbage all over the parking lot. However, I’m going to bet that they only pick up recyclables every other week (like we have). So it’s like “why bother recycling, it’ll just go in the garbage any way” The residents don’t want a lot of recycling bins because they’re “unsightly”. We can’t really say much because we don’t live here year-round. Oh, the people who just bought the condo down the hall from us are from Asheville!
Got dinner ready to be microwaved, exercised, made the shrimp orzo salad to take to the pot luck tomorrow (the flavors have to meld so that’s why you make it in advance), went in the pool, I may run to Hobby Lobby to get a diamond dotz to make for my girlfriend, canasta tonight.
I’m considering going “au natural” with my hair. Only thing is, I don’t know if I want to wait until the hair grows out. It’s long now and it’ll look funny half dark and half whatever. Does anyone know if there is something you can put on your hair to take the color out? I seem to think that I bought something like it at Sally’s, but I’m not sure.
Amber – you’re making me hungry
Flea – ((HUG))
Went and played canasta. Tomorrow is the pot luck. Someone at canasta was talking about how they got a cake at the local grocery store which she thinks looked good. I just hope everything isn’t from a store.

All the paperwork for the income tax is finished and ready to mail to the accountant, It took much longer this year because Jake wanted to see how I did it in case something happens to me and he has to do it. Last year I wrote detailed notes about how to do the taxes,so we went over them as we completed each task. It took extra long but it made him feel better.
Rori, It was so hard for me when I was waiting for my spine fracture to heal. It took huge exertion of will for me to limit the time I walked and spend many hours a day lying down. I feel for you and your foot. Best wishes.

Hello everyone.
Flea-sending hugs. I'm on Medicaid but rent now.
Terrible night with the grands. Just won't listen and I am at wits ends. Have no appetite for supper.
Just needed to vent as I'm on the verge of tears.
May you have a great Valentine's Day. I don't celebrate it.
Sleep well tonight.
Marianne WV5 -
Hugs!
Thank you for the reminder that we need to get our affairs in order. Y'all are the second reminder this week.
Sue- it will be great to have hot water again!
Tracey- I have similar pictures of my oldest grand and her mom. The family resemblances run strong in our line too.
Amber- great planning!
Debby- My husband keeps accusing me of shrinking his clothes too! He is just joking though. He is eating better since my diet is so changed. At least he is eating oatmeal instead of oreos for breakfast. When I am having a bad Jean day, he just says that I shrunk them. 😂😂💗
Grays are gone for a few weeks as well as moustache😉
Picked up different dry food for Sara which she ate. Husband fed her wet food which she ate as well. She hasn't eaten much in about a week. Happy that she ate well tonight.
Work was productive. Got price books all up to date for spring. Totalled a few invoices. Cleared out a few folders.
Heading to bed. The temp has dropped 8 degrees in 3 hrs. It's going to be a cold one! Stay warm wherever you are!
❤❤
