Last night I learned today is the 90th birthday of a resident here. I have become friends with her son, S, who visits daily. I had an extra birthday card and got Susan blessing to get his mom some surprise signatures. I got a few last night and will get more today.

That's so nice of you!

Judique Sounds like a nice start to your trip. Have fun.

Mona How kind to get a birthday card for a fellow patient.

Good chilly morning. 34 again, going to 57, light frost

@Judique Hopefully the rain doesn't spoil too much of your vacation. I loved reading your 'trip report', so far, keep 'em coming!

The only cleaning I did yesterday was vacuum and swiffer the kitchen floor. With 4 cats, there's always litter, despite the no track pad under the box.

Summer texted me complaining that her truck was still sitting across the street at the garage. It had been there for a week. She was going to drive it across the street to her house and have her son's friend fix it, but he said without a lift, it would be almost impossible for him to do. She was whining that she had to drive what will be Gracie's car (when she gets her license), but that the tires are bald. In the middle of our texts, her husband called to say they're getting done early, and she has to pick him up today instead of next week. She called the garage to tell them she had to have the truck fixed asap. They told her the best they can do is start it this morning and hopefully be done by early afternoon. She has to drive all the way to Cincinnati to get him, but at least his job said he can keep the hotel room for tonight so she can stay over and not have to make the long drive right away. When he goes back, she's pretty sure it's to Cincinnati again.

Last night she texts me again, with the prices for tires on Gracie's car, and sends a picture of how bald they are. If she was waiting for me to offer to pay for them, she's got a long wait. My reply was for her to call Walmart and the local tire place 2 minutes from her house and compare prices. I said nothing about paying for them, nor do I intend to. My friend in CO made this for me, and it made me laugh like crazy. She said to send it to Summer the next time she's 'hinting' about my paying or loaning her money.



Cleaning the fridge, gathering trash and making a grocery list are the only things I have to do today, unless I find something else that needs to be done.

Have a good day everyone

Bonnie is missing her friends from the shelter.

Thank you all. Small kindness I pray to be blessed to spread Typo on the name. Sean is the resident's son. I gave the card to A, a therapist, I saw in the hallway and she said she would get her colleagues to sign it. I will go check with her shortly so I can get others to sign as well. Extra hug for Bonnie dear Bobbi and you and Tom, too. Lynn, just a big hug. Peace and healing care to you dear Pea.

Bobbiwoz Glad Bonnie is home. She is lovely.

Lynn Summer really needs to get a better sense of finances and maybe try to find a more stable job. Not sure if that is an option. And with her husband working so far away all the time it really takes up time, money, and wear and tear on the cars.

Pea Thinking of you and wishes for healing and kind caring people surrounding you.

Good morning. It is 43 here now with temps only going to around 50. The electrician is coming this morning to put in the outlet for the water softener. He will take the extension cord back to the installer. The electrician has done so many of these outlets in this complex he knows exactly what to do. The water softener has made a difference so I am glad I did it. Now if the my decision about the Sedona trip could only be so easy! LOL!

Have a good day.

Hugs dear Snowysmom. Wednesday extra peace.

I'm looking forward to seeing my friend A today. I have a few, "A," named friends here. Dad and I are inching forward. The situation is just so sad and cruel. But to have the grace from God of forging ahead, extending forgiveness, and peace from Him and via dear friends likeable of you is truly miraculous in itself. Love to all.

Good morning. 40 going to a high of 50. 100% chance of rain today and tomorrow. Right now the sky doesn't look like it, but what do I know.
Heading out to do errands and groceries before it starts raining around 11, if they're right.

Mona, inching forward is better than it's been. We all want you home and out of that horrible situation.

Summer doesn't text me for weeks at a time, yesterday she wouldn't shut up, lol. Complaining about her truck, which is still sitting in the parking lot of the garage. They told her it would go in yesterday morning and be done in 2-3 hours. She called at 2, and he told her he'd be pulling it in 10-15 min later. He never did. She was going to be there this morning when they open to find out what's going on. If they're not going to fix it, they shouldn't have told her to have it towed there. If he says it's not going to be done today, she's going to call other garages, hoping to get a 1 day fix (I don't see that happening) and then have it towed to them.

She was texting with her mother about it, and her mother is no help. She actually told Summer to borrow the money for another car from me, oh really. I have a few choice words for her the next time I run into her.

Then I was having dinner and Summer texted again that she was on her way. I thought she meant Ohio, but she said she was heading here. She was here 10 min later and was here for almost an hour. I know what prompted the out of the blue visit, but I didn't mention cars or money one time, lol. She took a couple of framed pictures from the yard sale pile (decorative ones, not family ones) for Lily to hang in their new place, and took her the 2 brand new T Fal pans I have (big ones) that I never used. Found some rifle shells in the back of the closet, so she took those for Skylar. It was a nice visit, but I'd rather it be when she's not trying to get something out of me ($$).

Have a good day

Thanks dear Lynn. I am so sorry about Summer. You need peace!
