I'm tired of cooking/preparing 3 meals a day. It's just the two of us but boy oh boy can that woman eat!! She stays slimish, I get fattish. It's bad enough I do everything here much less start making her one thing and me the other. At times I feel guilty when I buy her fast food cuz of the nutritional value....not to mention I eat it too.
As technology moves at warp speed, the older stuff doesn't play well with the new technology. Gotta buy new.
I just hope he can put in the old hard-drive and pull off from it onto a memory thingy items I had on my old computer, that weren't saved on a website, and place it onto the new computer.
Right now I am using my sign-other's desk top computer. It is throwing off my whole routine. It's like going into a grocery store you're not familiar with :)
Hello all! I hope you're well!
I just scrolled down below, and noticed that my challenge to myself was 22 April '22 (1 month ago!) (I said I would try (1) not to whine for 7 days, (2) focus on my life).
Update: I failed, and gave myself F- and F-.
HOWEVER, suddenly I succeeded (A+++ and A+++). But it's totally by chance. Totally unconnected to my own self-discipline. What happened is: the situation is OK now. My mom is all right. No emergencies. I've been able to really work on my life. It's been an awesome feeling. I got a lot done (FOR MY LIFE).
Good luck to all!
I give myself a new challenge: for the next 7 days: don't postpone. Get it done now.
OK, I'll update again in a few weeks. Knowing me, I'll start off with F-, but maybe I'll be lucky and go to C+.
Congratulations on your 50th anniversary. Hope you enjoy something special for you and your husband.
:)

I think I would have the city take a look. At least you known that they will give you reliable info. May be the best dollars you spend on this project.
glad - I essentially have a septic field in my backyard now but it is not draining well. I am managing. I really couldn't lug a porta potty about. Today I called the project manager and haven't heard back. I know I am not the only project they have to deal with but I had hoped to hear something by now. Then I would have more information to make a decision as to how to proceed. Sil is setting up a room in dd's house which will help. It's cold out today and not great for me to bath then go out in the cold. I am rethinking taking a hotel room which would be quieter and possibly covid safer than dd's house. If I brought Rocky with me we could chill out together. Showers here today and tomorrow so we both will be inside most of the time. I think I'll wait for a callback from the restore co.
Those cameras are water tight.
Or you could bring in a porta pot.
I've turned into a curmudgeonly hermit, the last two years of going nowhere and seeing nobody have cemented the introverted part of my personality firmly in place.
Anyway, hubs Dad will be 93 by then and needs someone to stick around here for him cause he can't go so hopefully hubs will agree to stay here and we'll have a ready made excuse. Either way I'm not going. I dislike weddings. Never had one of my own. Never will. Never wanted the long white gown or any of that. It's just not me. Don't find other people's weddings entertaining at all. Would rather stick hot peppers into my unmentionable parts, that's how strongly I feel about that.
Golden, sorry you are having to deal with all this nonsense. Hope it gets figured out soon. I hate to imagine you standing outside an A & W at 6:00am. Poor you!
glad - don't blame you for not going.
In general, I agree with the comments on destination weddings or other huge cost weddings. Doesn't make any sense to me.
venting - maybe try just focusing more on you. One thing at a time! It sounds like you need more self care.
My whine for today is that as of yesterday they know where the damaged pipe is but I have not heard about any plans to repair it. I guess I better make a phone call or two tomorrow.
"boj, I hope you get your hearts desire and find a man to love and that loves you even more."
so sweet, thank you!! :)
Me, my dear husband and I decided on a Friday afternoon to go get the license, then decided that we should just get married, another couple without witnesses stood up for us and visaversa. That was 25 years ago.
Oh, both my brothers divorced within 2 years. Seems like a down payment on a house would have served them better.
boj, I hope you get your hearts desire and find a man to love and that loves you even more.
I hope you're well! Everyone!
How am I, you asked? Well, well, well...
So I challenged myself 22 April '22 to: (A) Not whine for at least 7 days. (B) To focus more on me, and less on helping my mother.
Today is the 5th day.
I give myself an F for both. Terrible result. I've been whining all day (silently to myself). Anywayyy, here I try again. Off I go.
i understand you.
i must confess: i'm one of those people!! i wannnnnt a wedding -- with a wedding gown that's long and goes from california to new york.
(i've never been married) (hopeless romantic) (working on my career first)
i totally understand what you say, geaton:
i'm just confessing, i'm one of them. i'll be having a huge wedding :). and i wish, for me, and of course for anyone, to be married 1,000 years, more!
i haven't met him yet, by the way. he's probably under a rock somewhere.
hugs from geologist, bundle of joy :)
