The twisty bamboo plants are called “lucky bamboo” and are sold in pots as houseplants. Asuncion has some ... also an ivy vine that’s trained along the top of the wall all the way around their living room and kitchen. (Not that fond of ivy, myself ...)

The power company sent me a nagging letter with the information I needed to get on their website and pay the bill. Charged me a $5 late fee.

I hate nagging letters from any business. Of course, the cable company is my nemesis.

I got the thing squared away about my SNAP benefits, but it means a trip to the local welfare office to get a separate application. The good thing is that I don’t have to see an actual person, and I can drop the finished application in the correct box to be processed. By the time they finish, it will be time for my June SNAP allowance...all $16 worth.

I managed to get my desk and the sofa cleaned off, and got the patio swept. YAY! Now I have to clean the table off. I can’t decide if it gets full because I’m lazy or if it is a paper magnet.

Maybe, if I feel half-way decent, I’ll get the rug vacuumed.

My replacement portable nebulizer will be here today; the old one was still under warranty so I don’t have any co-pay on it.

Well, they have the power. At least they are not omneeeepotent like the phone company.
