Happy taco Tuesday!

Love all the darkside pics Lynne, glad you're having a fun trip.

I'm getting excited too Robo, only 3 weeks to go

Hope your pup gets better soon monyk, it's so hard when they get old

Hi to mac, keisha, Carole, bobbie, patty, charade and Robbie and anyone else I missed.

I finally have a few days off and i'm trying to get caught up on my housework Trey visited us last night and we grilled out steaks, hamburgers and hotdogs. We had enough leftovers to send some back to his roommates and to feed all of us for the next few days.

Time to get back to my housework.

Have a great day everyone

Barely 8pm and getting dark already...........winter is drawing in quickly........well, autumn sounds better........been lovely all day, but you can feel that little chill again at night now....no more sitting out with glasses of wine. Although I did like MonyK’s suggestion of a Tiki Bar in the shed.........although no heating in it and it’s a little far from the house!!! Maybe stick to sitting room..........

Trying to catch up on emails too...........

This week will not end soon enough. I'm taking care of the mail all this week at work to make up for the newer girl having to do it all next week while I'm gone, and we had 400 claims Monday and 300 today. On top of that, the buses have been all over the place this week. The one that takes me to work was 7 minutes late yesterday. Then the one that takes me home was close to 20 minutes late today and even later yesterday. It's too hot for this shizz.

 

[tink1957]

Hey Robbie...at least you can tell yourself that you're going on vacation next week.

You'll forget all about it when you're sailing with an umbrella drink in hand.

Hi everyone. I am not having a good day today. Yesterday I went to Walmart and used the self service register. I got $20 cash back. This afternoon I opened my wallet to pay for something and no 20 dollar bill. I think what happened is I took my receipt at Walmart and forgot the cash. I called to see if some honest person turned it in, but no such luck. This afternoon I called about our flooring quote (They were supposed to call us). I was given a quote about twice what we expected. They were quoting prices on stuff that was not mentioned when were initially spoke to them. Dh wants to go and speak to someone in person, but we will probably also look at some other places. On the plus side, I sold another item for B's band fundraiser.

School starts today- so Im up early and at work really early to beat the school buses.

Hope everyone has had a good first couple of days. We are already in week 3.

I started Liv doing just her school clothes about 4 years ago. She does it once at the end of the week so there is full load. I do the other small stuff. She still gets annoyed with doing it, but I really need to focus on getting her independent. Her Asperger's makes tasks a little longer to do. I knew I had to start a long time ago! Every teen is different.

I am working on the independence thing with B too. She has been doing her own laundry since 4th grade, but still has other skills she needs to learn like cooking. (I hate cooking, so I am probably the worst on to teach her.)

I hope B does great in November!!

Thanks. We found a really good SAT tutor in our area. She will resume classes with him in October.

Went to the podiatrist this morning- been having a lot of foot pain. I fell a couple of weeks ago and I thought I broke a toe. Turns out I'm just an old lady. They took an x-ray and found that it's arthritis and bone spurs- Yuk!

Sorry to hear about that. I was diagnosed with arthritis in my knees last year.

I never walk around barefoot, and totally flat shoes are the worst so I never wear them...

I was about to say that I practically live in flats, but noticed that my favorite shoes (I have 2 pair in different colors) actually have about a 3/4 inch heel on them. I won't go any higher and 2 inches, and it's very rare that i wear them that high.

I`m very impressed with Tom`s staunch Gringo look...……..

He looks like a completely different person.

Had a weird weekend. My Doordash account got hacked super early Saturday morning

Sorry to hear about that. I've had a debit card and credit compromised, so I know how frustrating that can be.

The President is coming to town on Thursday.

The last time he came to our town B and I left town for the day. I didn't want to deal with all the extra traffic and security. Many years ago dh and I almost got into an altercation with the secret service, but didn't know it was them at the time.

and we had 400 claims Monday and 300 today.

i sympathize, but I'm on the other side of the equation. I'm having to call insurance companies to try to find out why claims haven't been paid yet.

I think i am caught up. I hope I haven't missed anyone.

Maybe ask the store to check the till you went to.......if that one is $20 up it might not have given it to you.......sorry that happened to you!

As for heels......well, I haven’t worn proper high heels since Wham were huge in the mid 80’s! I just can’t wear them......but with my heel isssues I’m supposed to wear anything that’s not totally flat......so even slippers have orthotics in them......I just have to deal with it.

I hear you on the cost of things! We recently decorated and had new flooring put down in all the rooms........we expected it to be expensive, but even so.......wow!! Stuff we have chosen for Kyle’s bathroom floor which is getting done in September, when the guy gave us the price for it, I asked if it had diamonds laced through it!!! It’ll be lovely though..........good luck with that!


Up early..........it was so dark, or much darker this morning..........

Will be white toast and marmalade this morning for breakfast.........local farmer makes the best home made marmalade ever!!! Along with other lovely treats!! Then some housework and ironing, and the man is coming out to measure up for new blinds for all the rooms recently decorated.........he’s so busy so we had to wait till today......he’s worth it though. Like the guys and their blinds are good quality.

Time for early cup of tea as DS is just leaving for work...........

And for Keisha`s beautiful little granddaughter...……….a day late...……………..

 

[macraven]

Happy belated birthday for Keisha’s lily

[macraven]

I wake up at 5 every day. Wheeeeeee

You’ll be able to break that habit once you quit work
Lol

 

[RAPstar]

You’ll be able to break that habit once you quit work

Hopefully lol

 

[Lynne G]

Not sure, early bird habit is hard to break. I am now up around 4:30 every morning, thanks to DH’s day, though my alarm went off at 5 every morning for 25 years before the earlier start a few years ago. Helps that we both prefer an early start to the day.

Robbie, sorry to hear of all your work and commute dragging ya down, but vacation will be here soon.

Have not worn high heels in some time now. With issues with an ankle and knee, my shoes are mostly low heel types. But around the house, all are in bare feet. And I do not mind flip flops, but they cannot be the really cheap ones if I need to walk all day in them.


Why yes it is, and today,the 29th, little one was born just after the clock struck 12 noon, 17 years ago. Birthday dinner, and some water park fun this morning.

After the heavy rain yesterday that started around 2 on and ended around 7 or so in the evening. We went for a late lunch offsite, and got to drive in a river, but hey, the donut light was on, so some doughnuts for dessert was bought after sitting in traffic for 2 miles. Seemed when the rain started to look like a monsoon, little one’s phone lit up with all the accidents popping up. And while in donut shop, huge lightning bolt very close. All jumped, including the workers. Must have hit something, as fire truck was speeding by a minute later. Decided to go to the mall, that was so close, shopped and had an off-site late dinner too. Was a short park day, but hey, we still had fun. More rain predicted this afternoon, so we’re going to the water park soon. Sun is out, and early entry.

Later homies!
