"Get to do"s and "chose well"s

Chose well: dogs to powerline, refi appoinment w/Nick, followup Chetco phone call w/J.O. , called Wild Rivers Julie for trim appointments (Thurs 10:30 both), Chiro.
Bonus: strolled with Shadow and T, asked Nick about living trust.
Get to do: take BP, dogs to powerline, return Thrivent’s call re:beneficiaries, call Interpath to confirm new codes and no payment required, call Jeanette at Chetco about what codes were used for my annual labs, determine CareCredit payment due date, forecast expenses through June, email Nick refi decision and request for adding Joe to safe deposit box contract, locksmith to copy mailbox key; find those torture bands, budget meeting notes, board meeting minutes, call D re: sticky keyboard, Norton and windows updates, call S, fire district: ongoing: input 2019 call sheets into NFIRS, work with chief on equipment letter, substance abuse policy, NFIRS mutual aid and other missing details, call Credit union re: credit card, ask for boots donator contact info, appreciation letter or certificate to boots donator, index mutual aid files; watch STAS Day 20, declutter sideboard, practice new dances (Do Your Thing, Pure Movies to Wine, Beer, Whiskey, I ain’t never gonna love nobody but Cornell Crawford (Alley cat), A Little Less Broken, One Margarita, I’m so used to being broke, All Night, Nothing but You, Blame it on my beating heart, Homesick); finish mulching flowerbed, invest another 10 minutes in prepping living trust, Freddie’s for complete series TDAP <$48, get Shingrix vaccine, find and configure a screen time popup, figure out where to plant the last of the naked lady bulbs, and soon as it warms up above 50 and dries out below 60% humidity I’ll tape and spray paint those rusted areas of Aunt Elsie’s stove. Reconcile Joe’s EOB’s Thrivent shows only 2263.48 so far, next BGBS ask Terry about GB’s FD firetruck tax levy – contacts, media, advocate???, Reward: inventory seeds, plan this spring’s garden, wishlist replenishments (Milena F1 orange peppers), Friday: county planning office neighbor’s plans.
Active April:
15: Relax your body and mind with Yoga, T’ai Chi or Meditation: or by soaking in hot tub
16: Get active by singing today (even if you think you can’t sing!): or know how your voice sounds. Will sing along with Mama Mia and hope I don’t wake Joe

Relishing the lovely weather and its effect on my mood. Thankful for dry weather, trying not to worry about drought.

Machka Brava for maintaining your composure throughout the presenter’s gaffes and your supervisor’s making faces.
Karen posting a few washed up toys at a time on FB, great strategy! Could your son be on the spectrum a little too? This way he can choose from the few you post at his convenience, and not be overwhelmed by an entire box at once. Brilliant!
Julie what you are going through with your computer would make me sick :sick: with rage Hope you can find comfort in all the laundry you’ve accomplished
Lisa was telling my stroll buddy, a quilter, about how I admired the precision of your Texas star centerpiece, the perfect points, the knife edge sides. Do you hand or machine quilt? Now, seeing the pinned up front and back I admire your expertise even more.
Heather like Margaret’s suggestion about late fee avoidance as leverage.
Allie I’ve just started the process, we don’t have anything legal, just a handwritten, unwitnessed “will” leaving everything to Joe’s brother if we both die at once, like in an accident on 199 en route to Medford medical care. I have a password log book too, and a list of who to call, who can help. Updated beneficiaries on one account, in process for two others with the same institution. Still must for Credit Union, Bank and Pension fund. I pay all the bills, most are autopay, need to change those that aren’t. Like Heather’s Johnny, Joe resists any such discussions. Shudder to think of him going through probate so investigating living trust.
PatC in OH have you got a new mfp profile?
Barbie your understated “…opportunity for spiritual growth” gave me the gentle chuckles.
CJ and Evelyn: You are so right about the supply chain. The video at the bottom of this article is very telling. https://www.maritimeprofessional.com/news/some-containerships-sent-north-port-365326
Machka it takes a lot to pry me out of my comfy zone. Lately the stroll/chat’s with T have tiptoed into the hiking range, where the fear zone lurks. One of the things I hate about ageing is my fear of falling, a very real fear hiking our sometimes steep, sometimes slippery coastal trails. When I try to write a grant for our fire district, it’s a foray into the learning zone. That’s about all the growth I can handle at this point .

While intending to click to the next page, I accidentally clicked the “Post Reply” button. Body is required. One of those error messages that makes you pause…


Lighter, lovelies!

Getting scary again to go shopping - less than 50 percent of people still in masks (I'm wearing two and will until two weeks after my second vaccination which is 4/28). Arkansas is doing really well, honestly, but with the numbers going up around the country, it's still not over.

Heather I thought that I had the password issue covered. However, today, I got a notice that the gas payment did not go through because the card was no longer valid and to log on to account. Well, it is still in husband's name although the emails and bill notices go to me electronically. It is billed directly to my credit card which just changed. I tried to log on and no luck. I do not have the password. I sent a message to customer service and hope I hear back soon before getting a credit report notice. This might be an example for your husband.

Allie I sympathize. My phone is refusing to charge with any of the chargers in the house and will only charge on the USB port on the computer. The phone is old ( 3 years or so) and I don't want to have to pay for a new one, much less learn how to use it. However, I and colleague may be getting an Apple phone from work since they are more secure. However, I dread having to switch from Android. So I would have 2 phones. I wonder how getting emails works. Microsoft runs everything at work.

Rebecca Whidbey Island looks positively idyllic. On a whim, I looked up houses for sale and gasped at the prices. OMG

As I tell a friend who has a house on a Greek Island overlooking the water in a small fishing village, paradise takes work. The house is very modest and is part of a family compound. All the siblings built homes attached to each other and the entire compound is surrounded by a whitewashed stone wall topped with tiles. The family home in Athens contains apartments built story by story for each of the children - the first was a dowery house for the daughter, and then the sons added their levels. Typical in the Balkans and Greece is the southernmost Balkan country. Many women today, still bring homes to a marriage.

[bSue][/b] Evelyn Barbara Barbiecat Katla I have always wanted to have a holiday in the northwest coast and Vancouver. The snatches that I have seen (Seattle and Portland, Vancouver, Spokane) was quite enticing albeit not reflective of the true beauty of the region. I do remember having breakfast at a hotel located directly on the water in Vancouver and looking across the water to magnificent scenery. Every time I flew to Portland, I swore that I would return for pleasure. Unfortunately, my mother, who moved there late after retirement, died and I have never had a reason to visit again.

Penny The masked sun is so clever. What a perceptive youngster. Hurrah to the artist. You live in another place I wish to visit someday.

Bananas Bravo! for all the laundry and ironing. If you like, I can send you my summer cottons to iron.


Everyone Stay safe and on the path to your goals.
