Lynn Sorry for your plumbing issues. Sometimes life just gets sucky.

Mona It is unacceptable for you to have to move from the room you have been in for so long. Plus the roommate is ordering you out of the room? No way. Hopefully you can recover enough soon to get back home. This place is awful.

Good afternoon. I have been busy since 5:30 this morning when I got up. I had a hair appt and a great chat with my hair dresser. She can make me feel better and make me look a little better! We discussed my hair issues and as usual, she had great advice and compassion. I went to Wegman's, Home Sense to look for a planter stand, and then Michael's to just scout out things for possible holiday gifts. My oldest DGD is getting hard to buy gifts for. She is 10. I am going to have to ask Mom and Dad about ideas. I came back to the condo and had lunch after doing some misc tasks. Next up is cleaning the stainless in the kitchen. Yesterday the water treatment company sales person did not show up for our appt. I texted him after 15 minutes and he said he was sorry for the confusion, that I was on for Monday from 2-4. I know that is not correct as I have salt therapy at 2 Monday and would not make another appt. He told me Fri Sept 5 from 12-2 when we talked and specifically told me why the appt took 2 hours. I suspect after we got off the phone when making the appt he did not put it in system and someone else got it. I made another appt with him for the end of the month but in the mean time I am going to talk with another company. The company he works for has rave reviews on line and my friend who is using them in her area got top notch treatment. I am not impressed. Maybe their installers and customer service are really good but this sales person is not. I feel like things are not going great lately and it is getting to be a bit much. I have to have faith that it will get better!

Have a nice Saturday.

to all of you dear Quacker family. Just never, ever, forget God loves and is with you. He Who is Love always wins. Thank you all for everything always.

My room situation is the same. Please know my roommate is not able to get up on her own. I am safe. Her boyfriend is in a wheelchair. He is smart enough not to try anything. Social services is abominable. B, one of the social workers who joined C in being truly reprehensible yesterday was so today and with my Dad.

I am now being offered 2 rooms. The same one as from the beginning 219 (2 bed). And 210 which is a three bed room near it. 210 is almost worse because it is 3 bed it would be just as hard if not harder for me plus I would be in the bed by the front door.

Tomorrow I will very clearly and concisely with legal documentation from CA nursing home resident rights websites create two lists. The first all about my roommate and the second the other situation. God reminded me how Magnificent of course always with me He is. His Will will be done always this afternoon. Divine reassurance there is nothing like it!

Hugs to all.

Mona I am sorry you are going through this. I hope things work out in a better way.

Good morning. It is raining out now. We had some wild weather yesterday. We had a tornado warning in my area with the alert to seek shelter in the basement or an interior room. A tornado did touch down briefly about 3 towns over. There were torrential downpours and at one point was so windy. Kenny was at a soccer game with Ethan about a half hour away. He called on his way home to ask if I was in the basement. Nope, interior bathroom. HIs fiance was in the basement at their house with the dog and cat. He was on 495 and the torrential downpours were just getting to where he was. He did get home safely. My duplex neighbor and I were texting back and forth making sure we were OK and if we needed anything. We texted for a while for company. I am fortunate to have her as a close neighbor. Hopefully today is not as eventful. I plan on going to the gym to walk on the treadmill and then I have a flu shot scheduled. I like to get that before my Disney trip. Then maybe Kohls for just a stroll around the store. Then I am planning my clothes for Disney.

Have a nice Sunday.

Glad you are OK, @Snowysmom! We only had the rainstorm here, not the tornado warning.

Mona, I really hope your therapy is helping and you can just go home soon!

Good luck with the plumbing issue, Lynn! I have an old dishpan under my sink because we've also had issues in the past.

Yesterday I went to a Farmers Marker / Craft Fair nearby and it was really fun - busier than I expected and nice to get out and walk around in the sunshine for a while before the storms rolled in. I bought a couple little crafty things and some squash.

Today I plan to walk on the treadmill, work on some computer stuff, and watch a couple more episodes of Wednesday with DH.

Good sunny morning. 74 for a high again today. We badly need rain and there's none in the forecast. Yikes to a tornado that close @Snowysmom

@PollyannaMom I finished up the rest of the new episodes of Wednesday on Friday. It's not something I thought I would like, but once I started watching, I was hooked.

I fall cleaned my bedroom yesterday. Windows, blinds, curtains, stripped the bed and washed everything. Dusted and vacuumed, and cleaned the ceiling fan and put WD40 on it. One room down, starting on the guest room today. I'll get at least half the house done before leaving on vacation. I'm glad we didn't stick with our original date, or we'd be there now, with that hurricane too close for comfort.

Have a good day everyone

Behind a bit and probably not going to catch up! Did read this page.

Plumbing problems - son had to replace a wax ring in the primary bath yesterday at his house. I'm sure before that he didn't even know what a wax ring was. Fortunately for him his father in law lives about 2 streets away. FiL led him through it and son did the job. He sent me pics of his homeowner accomplishment and declared his FiL annoying. I'll clear him up in person on that one, because here just walking in the house a plumber would start at about $99 (I called for one for Tuesday for nonemergency work). And they don't usually leave before they get to about $300. My small weekend leak a few months back cost me over $500.

The annoying issue was telling him how to do the job. Son does get easily irritated but can hold it in. Flip side if he knew what the solution was I know he would youtube it and get it done also.

Washed dog beds yesterday and put them on the deck to dry in the hot sun. Then went to bed forgetting they were out there. It rained, and now they are soaked again. I may have to take them in and spin them.

Dropped in on DD for a bit.

Got up and cleaned the kitchen. Went to bed too early and younger DD got loose in there.

Plumber coming Tuesday to take a look at my old water heater. I think it's time has arrived.
