Hi girls, Just checking in; it's been a rough couple of weeks - I miss my sweet Honeybun, and even though I know I'll see her again, it's hard, especially when I get in the car to go somewhere and the other two pile in, or when I go to the freezer to get them ice cream. Add to that a class that's been making me miserable... I've given up on the latter; it's largely ratios and algebra-like calculations, and whereas I can do straight accounting or descriptive problems just fine, put some letters and weird symbols in with the numbers and well, I don't have the kind of brain that can process that. I've given up worrying about it - if I fail the class, I fail the class - frankly, I don't see what it has to do with an MBA in Human Resource Management anyway.
I'm headed outside to see if I can get the smaller pool set up in a little while; Mark has proven to be an unreliable as every other handyman I've had, and since we're already a month into the season there's no point in spending a lot of money to fill the big pool, buy all the salt it needs, and pay him to fix the pump and get the pool cleaned out. I've been stuck at home for the last two days. I took Autumn and Angelica for a drive to Walmart Saturday night, and fortunately stopped at the Murphy's outside to top off on gas, since it was under $2. A guy pointed out that a rear tire was almost flat, and of course, the auto department at Walmart had just closed. I tried putting air in the tire, and sure enough, it was just a slow leak so I was able to get home; it's now half flat again. I was supposed to take the car in for an oil change today and called my mechanic to send over someone to put air in; he was short-staffed, so I'll have to wait until tomorrow.
Jean, green beans are my favorite, but they have to be fresh. I can't stand canned and don't care for frozen as they have no flavor. Next time I go to Trader Joe's I'll see if they have any of their 21 Spice Salute and get you a jar if they do - it's great on anything.
LindaL, I'm so sorry you're still going through such a difficult time; I pray for you often. I see AZ has broken all records for hot temps.
Bird, did they find out what was going on?
No shopping here; I have everything I need, now that I ordered a kitchen timer from Amazon a little while ago - the one I had gave up the ghost after just a few months. i had one like it that I had gotten many years ago; it lasted me over 15 years, until the cats broke it - they just don't make things like they used to, do they?
Guess I'd better get moving; hi to everyone - have a blessed day.
