So the guy at the car dealer…
So the guy at the car dealer, where I get free inspections for the life of my car since I bought it there, laughed when he saw the mileage on my van. Yes, he laughed.
I admit it, I don’t get out much. My 2012 van has a mere 4,060 miles on it.
Poor girl is dirty and I haven’t the energy to wash her properly. With a good wash and wax and a vacuuming out I’d bet she’d look brand spanking new too.
The dealership is literally drooling over her wanting me to trade her in. However, I don’t have the money to make car payments and she’s free and clear.
*Hecuba*
Dang it!
Somehow managed to schedule my car’s inspection and our food order at almost the same time.
Food order at 1 and car at 2.
I hope our 5 Star Home Foods rep can get done fast so I can get to inspection at 2. Otherwise I’ll be leaving while he’s still here.
Now what?!
I almost broke my ankle.
I stepped into a hole in the yard tonight. The hole is deeper than my pruning stick is long. Wonderful.
Fortunately the hole was not big enough to catch my foot bad enough to break anything.
Nevertheless there’s this hole a few feet from my back door that I have no idea how I am going to fill in and make it safe to walk out there.
More rain…
We had so much rain that when I got dressed in the morning I put on my ‘I am not going anywhere and I don’t care’ yoga pants and a Tee.
I had to take Lucy out between rainstorms.
The basement has water in it once again.
Sigh.

Thunderstorms! Oh my!
So glad I washed Ted night before last. Lucy needed him to be at his best yesterday.
Below is Ted, Lucy’s blanket.
Lucy loves Ted, but Ted was getting awfully stinky. She snuggles Ted, she nibbles on Ted, she rolls up in Ted, she sprawls out on Ted. She drags Ted around the house some days. But on thundery, stormy days she hides in Ted when she’s not hiding in her crate.
Lucy loves her Ted.
Maybe my gardening joy is gone?
It’s not just the back pain preventing it but now it’s too hot to go out and get the much-needed yard work done.
Yesterday I managed to cut down some of the suckers growing from the roots of the sweet gun tree. Some, not all.
I have yet to tackle the mess where the pond once was. If you know of anyone who wants a rather large (triple) Yucca plant send them my way. They can have it if they dig it out.
I’m still trying to move the other plants but have run out of energy and I have no gumption left.
Maybe I need a new line of Tees and not wear my gardening ones.

One less expense if…
So I paid our vehicle registrations today.
You can now pay for a two year registration. The cost to register my van for two years cost a mere 12 dollars more than his truck’s registration for one year.
Another reason for him to consider selling the truck.
Other reasons:
- He drives the truck maybe once every 4 months or less.
- The cost of the insurance
- The cost of filling his tank
- The cost of inspections
- We could rent out his parking spot on the driveway.

Need to find a handyman
What we really need around here is a handyman, not just for my home but for G’s as well.
We find we’re both in the position of needing to have things done around the house that we cannot do these days.
Our ‘oh, I wish someone could do this with skill and at an affordable price’ lists grow longer with each day.

If I had the wherewithal
I’d move to an island far from these shores.
I’d build me a small house on a beach.
I’d offer up my troubles to the sea.
Sending them off on the tides and let my heart be free.
I’d soar on the wind.
I’d dance on the waves.
I sing to the moon and laugh at the sun.
I’d bury myself in the sand.
Backing away from Facebook
I’ve reached the point of over-saturation. I see far too many tiny-brained comments that make me wonder wtf has happened to our education system.
So many jaw-dropping, moronic opinions thrown out there without a whit of sense about them scares the crap out of me.
We are in danger, as a people, of becoming the worst of humanity because we have forgotten so many important things.
Things like:
Humility
Compassion
Kindness
Humanity
Generosity–not just of wealth but of spirit
Empathy
Love
Joy
Service to others
Honesty
Honor
All the goodness that women and men are capable of but have set aside. Stop setting all these things aside and start to embrace them. You’ll find through these actions we can build a better place in this world.
I don’t need another time sucker
I live with a Time sucker. He tends to drain me of most of my time.
I am guilty of allowing a couple of computer based time sucks into my life.
I play two online games, I write this blog, and I’m on Facebook.
No, I don’t need to add more time suckers to my daily life. I have to set a timer to keep me from becoming glued to the ones I do have.

So, NPR set the Trumplets off
Hysterically funny.
NPR tweeted the Declaration of Independence and proved we have way too many ignorant people out there in this world.
The Trumplets thought it was an anti-Trump campaign. Duh, people, have you not read our nation’s most precious document?
Well, I guess if the shoe fits….
