Hey folks, welcome to the new whine/general topic thread. Feel free to use this thread to discuss anything that is on your mind. Caregiving- related stuff, life after a loved one's death, your own emotional wellbeing. Whatever..........anything on your mind.
After reading on another thread, I think I should save the bucket to pee in, just in case I get old.
They are quite territorial. When I returned after the forest fire and evacuation, the lawn was quite overgrown so I got someone to cut it. The squirrel had enjoyed having the run of the garden with no disturbance for a while, and was quite put out by the lawn mowing. He ran up and down the driveway chattering loudly, obviously rather annoyed.
Do you have any chewed wires? I have a neighbor who has had to have the wiring in her Toyota replaced twice; apparently Toyota uses a soy based compound in its wiring that some squirrels just love.
Just dropping by to say hi. So Hi!
:)
I would quite have liked the idea of sending them a formal letter to query it: Dear Sir, ref Mrs CW, closing statement. Wtf? Yours faithfully,
Hi Madge glad to see you back. I remember that you had some decisions coming up regarding the Viking. ((((((((hugs)))))) Sounds like you have a few burdens. Hope things look up somewhere to give you a boost. Sometimes we have to plod through the muck and trust it will work out.
the brief lull at work at the start of the year has ended and it's back to late nights at the office
I'm dreading the decisions that will need to be made soon for the Viking - funds are running low
I need to get taxes done and fear the new laws will have me owing
I won't complain about another rainy weekend given how brutal the rest of North America has had it this winter
a friend lent me a book that the old me would have stayed up all night reading but I suspect it will just sit on my nightstand for some time
I've been occupying myself organizing estate tax papers, from what I've read they have the same tax deadline as usual. Sis is dragging her azz getting to the lawyer to sign papers to close an account - I get that she's busy but she is working to occupy her time and in my opinion she doesn't need to be a slave to her job, especially when it means other stuff in her life gets pushed to the back burner. Financial stuff - especially taxes - always makes me antsy, I wish it was over and done.
Where's msmadge these days?
Msmadge, calling msmadge Are you OK❓❓❓
Hub's Mom and Dad's place? As soon as I walk in there I want to walk on out again. You can cut the atmosphere with a knife. Sometimes it's so thick even a machete would be required. I swear.
I'm just saying.
The charge from the pharmacy was very small, most of mom's meds were covered. It was just a surprise... and opening old wounds, I guess.
I want to get married. Or, at least I think I do, haha. It's still something I think of as "someday" but since I'm mid 40s, I guess I could at least get back to some dating. I've been VERY content this past year to focus on things for me: the relatively new job and totally different career path for now, the new apartment that I've put a bit of work into so I can stay here comfortably for years to come, hopefully...
I haven't been lonely, I'm not lonely. I just want to get married someday so I guess I better go on some dates, then.
I'm planning some fun things for this year coming up. I booked my hotel for a music festival at end of May in Detroit. I'm content and focused on doing fun things for, and mostly by, myself. I just want to snap my fingers and have a comfortable marriage... mostly for companionship reasons... but also I'm a romantic and hoping to find a committed, loving relationship.

CW, that's annoying, getting a bill for things you don't remember your mom being given, four months after the fact. Hopefully it's not a lot of money. That would make it much easier to simply pay it and move on.
