Frugal! I’ll just get mine cleaned up and polished.
Back in the day, I used to do my own nails in a pinch, and though I had them done every two weeks when I was working (They cost $20 then!) the last time I had them done professionally was my last visit with you.
It would boost my morale to have them done once or twice a month, but not at the prices that are charged here. So I’ll just use the glue-ons and defy anyone to challenge me on their authenticity! ;o]
Pills have been sorted, ice cube trays filled, bed made, steroid done and when Walmart opens I’ll go there and get a few things I need for the trip. Not that I want to spend any time under the roof of the Carolian Vortex, but I need to be nice.
Good morning, y'all. Or is it, "Morning, y'all?"
True dat.
I still get in a stew over being pushed around by Microsoft but I’m majorly positive in outlook (no MS pun intended) since our President and his adorable Press Secretary (or whatever her title is) regularly trounce the LSM. Life is good!
What a little cutie pie! I so appreciate your A.M. kittehs.
He has huge feet like our Tigger’s, except that the Mighty T has seven toes on one paw, and six on each of the others.
Yes. ;o]
Back from Walmart where I found the “perfect-for-me” make-up bag. Somehow, with age, I outgrew the one I’ve had for 20 years. Go figger.
On my way there, I made a right turn by the Chevron station which had sprinklers on the little grass and bushes median and the wind was blowing so hard, with so much water being sprayed that I had to turn the wipers on because I couldn’t see the road. Pinky swear.
Back from the Spanish Charismatic Women’s Retreat. They have a different musical group for the afternoon. While the ladies were listening to inspiring talks and music, the gentlemen were grilling meat, and they were all settling down to carne asada tacos, and it smelled fantastic, but I had to get home and find out what the Brothers of Confusion still need to finish their packing. Gym shorts and underwear, I’m hearing.
James sewed a badge on his uniform.
Good for James!
If that room hasn’t been rented by Thursday, I’ll take my son and his wife to look at it with me. They will probably be able to look at it with less emotion than I would. Then we can look at a storage unit.
Now he’s sewing another. #WayToScout
I’m thinking of going to Walmart.
Good job, James!!
I’m not going to get my hair colored so I’m thinking of going to Walmart for some really temporary color if I can find it. And Monday, I’ll get it cut, since Tuesday I have an appointment at the pain clinic at 0900. Unnnghhh….
Christina has been trying to get ready for a week at their beach house (somewhere in CA) for the last four or five days, and I just decided that I was not going to add to the stress, especially since her youngest daughter just broke her elbow. So I told her I was good, and that she needed to finish packing and get on the road and Godspeed.
Make sure when you are checking rental rates that they’re quoting the ‘rent it here, leave it there’ price, not the ‘rent it here, drive it around for 150 miles, and bring it back to them’ price.
Unless you are really planning to bring it back to them... ;-)
And what are the ‘optional but you’d better get it’ prices. You know, like insurance and such.
I hope they have a lovely time at the beach. I’d rather be here. Back from Walmart. Next, I’ll be working on supper while listening to Jonah Goldberg’s latest podcast.
Since I’ve moved so many times, I could almost rent a truck and car hauler in my sleep. But yes, I’ve been very careful about making sure the correct things were added in and the “fluff” was left out. (You know, that stuff that is pure profit for the company?)
The three companies were “comparable” except for Penske, which is just criminal to charge people so much, but yes, I made sure the areas had drop-off points. (Hurricane for Penske and Budget and St George for U-Haul,) the latter of which cluttered up the site with “equipment needed” and “loading/unloading crews” which just made me more upset as I progressed through the site. THEN they wanted to give me a 10’ truck instead of the 15’ I actually need, and wanted me to tell them the tongue weight, which, when the equipment and vehicle towed (car hauler) were listed should have been included in their calculations.
U-Haul saw the last of me five moves ago.
And thank you for being concerned! XO
I have now.
Are you going to post this?
What a despicable situation.
It needs to be posted. Good God.
I’m sorry. I just got back from a Diocesan Catechists Conference and I am feeling not very well.
I’m sorry to hear that you’re not feeling well. I went to a Spanish Charismatic women’s retreat today - music performance job - and it was delightful. Have you considered changing your line of work? Find a guitarist, buy a copy of “Flor y Canto”?
I haven’t posted an article in years, but I’ll give it a try.
