PHEW! Guess what! I received this message:
"At this time I have issued an additional refund of $1459.54, for a total refund of $3,046.54.

This is a full refund of the cleaning fee, all guest fees, 100% of the nights you did not stay, and 50% of the nights you did stay at the listing."

Feeling accomplished! that process of reporting an unsatisfactory stay at an AirBnB was absolutely, ridiculously difficult to achieve.

Tonight I am very happy to say, that I am in a very comfy hotel, beautiful bed, beautiful shower, very comfy, even a chaise. Watching basketball, drinking a beer and overall feeling very satisfied following an excellent dinner, a couple of beers and a job that is going well. A great showing on my house last week, and another showing tomorrow, a virtual showing, someone moving from the east coast.

Today has been tiring. Dialysis, PT or an hour, too much company and to top it all off an attack on Aging Care from Karma 22 who very obviously knows nothing about me.

sending more hugs to everyone!! :)

my new slogan:

:)
"SAFETY DOESN'T HAPPEN BY ACCIDENT."

i'm doing all i can (as we all are), to set things up for my LOs, so it's even safer. i really prefer prevention, than emergency/stress.

on my mind...

this message is more for myself, but i want to write it here...
i'm sending lots of hugs/courage/strength to us all!!

some days are very hard (we worry about our LOs). some days are easier. the problems i find most stressful are the unexpected ones (example: last year suddenly i had to find new caregivers. i spent mannny days with my LOs, interviewing new caregivers) (we were very lucky and got extremely kind caregivers).

i'm lucky. i live in a beautiful place; can go hiking often, to de-stress.

my LOs are sweet. unfortunately, 1 LO is sometimes difficult/mean (especially during stressful times). when things are less stressful, my difficult LO returns to being sweet. both my LOs inspired, and continue to inspire me my whole life. :) :) i admire and cherish them.

--------
i'd like to say something positive, something to give us courage.

i guess it's this:
i'm a strong believer in solutions. there is always a way.

i wish us to protect our own lives. we must not let our own life drown.

--------
perhaps i can try an exercise:
if i were 99 right now, what would i say to myself today?

dear bundle of joy :),

you'll figure this out. keep your joy :). and when things get tough, go for a hike. listen to the wisdom of nature. there are answers there, too!!

boj, southern Arizona

It is hot here in the summer but, we do typically have low humidity, so it is more bearable than 90° with humidity. Monsoon does change that though, if we get one, maybe 2 months of higher humidity but, lower temps.

We had hale Thursday and 2 freezing nights this winter. That's why we live here though. Winters are our growing season and outdoor activities time. Summer is spent indoors after 10am and in the pool. It could be worse:-)

cwillie, brrrrr!

Still below freezing at night here and snow slowly melting. We have had snow in every month of the year. I don't think I personally have seen it in July but I have seen hail in the summer. Don't think I could handle that heat. People will be going out in shorts here soon.

I will happily share my weather with everyone that is getting snow. We are predicted to be in the low 90s and I am dreading summer starting in April, it will be a long, hot one, for certain.

I can see those little skin-and-bones kids with the shivering and clacking teeth. Surprised the meet went that far as for them to get pool-ready.

That said, as a kid one year there was an ice storm, bad, and they didn't cancel school...until we all arrived, then they sent us home. Genius. I guess as long as kids report, the school benefits.

CW we have snow commonly in April and May. The latest I remember a show is early June, here too. In fact that time was the first day of swim team practice for a summer club. Imagine it, all these little skin and bones little kids standing around the pool in their suits shivering. Yes, practice ended up be canceled that day.

del356 - When I got up this morning and looked out the first thing I thought was "I'm so frigging tired of snow". But snow in April is not unusual here, and snow in May isn't either - the latest I can remember was a freak squall in early June.

Okay...April 3rd...it's still snowing. Won't amount to much, but geeeeeez.

We had a blizzard in April one year, and unlikely to happen again, but we didn't expect one back then, either.

Regardless, it's snowing. Still. And cold. Strong winds.

Twice so far I've put away the salt and twice had to drag it back out.

Won't be long before I'll be gripping about the humidity and/or oppressive heat.

I only get a number of days a year where the weather makes me happy. (Boo-freakin'-hoo.)

Heck that cat either bit or scratched me so deeply I have a drop of blood on my shoe. I will get a new, bigger, soft sided, top entry carrier for the next time. I wish she would just willingly walk in. Not a chance!😾😾😾😾

Gershun, oh my gosh, your cats always walked into the carrier? For me, it is like dealing with a rattle snake that has claws =^..^=

My cats always walked into the cat carrier very willingly. In fact my one cat will sit in it if I leave it out. I guess I'm lucky in this regard. I'll take it. :)
