Tag: a message to my readers

I thought today was going to be really easy.  (laughs hysterically).

Listen carefully:  it gets complicated.

I wear support socks.  One day a week (when I know I won’t be going out) I skip them and instead of wearing shoes, I just stay in my fuzzy slippers all day.  Technically, it’s a no-no, but I like to give my poor toes a break.  I picked today.  Big mistake.

As I have mentioned before, I am having my phone/internet upgraded.  This is due to take place on next Monday.  I  had received a notice that some gizmo was being shipped to me, so that it would be here for the tech guys to install on Monday.  I got a notice yesterday that it had been delivered.  I only saw the notice today, and when I clicked on the delivery photo it was in the foyer of apartment 1.  I am in apartment 5.  I don’t even know the last name of the guy in #1.  Contacted my other neighbor who called the landlord who called me with this fellow’s phone number.  I couldn’t just go down there because you are NOT supposed to put the support socks on after being without them for a number of hours, and I couldn’t walk all that distance down the concrete sidewalk in my fuzzy slippers. (Are you still with me?)  I called the fellow (who was at work) and he confirmed the package was still there in his foyer.  My next door neighbor said she would go get it for me.  Bottom line–have the package.

One problem down.

Second problem.

I was expecting a Whole Foods order around 2 o’clock.  I went online to double check and I did not see the e-mail that you get after placing an order.  Looked and the order had not been placed.  It was all there, sitting quietly in my cart –but the order was not placed.  Have no idea how that happened.  I quickly placed the order, but it will get  here a bit later than planned.

And that was my day.   All of this took up an incredible amount of time.

Hence fewer posts than normal, today.

Tomorrow has got to be better than this.

Have a good night, all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

Very busy today, hence fewer posts.

I also am a little down by the number of large plant closings of various types.  Just not feeling particularly optimistic today.  One of the things I read about today was the large Kellogg plant in Nebraska shutting down.   Nebraska is getting hit really hard.

I truly wish I had studied economics.  Then I might have more of a handle on this stuff.  Much of the news is totally useless, just a lot of blame thrown at President Trump.  Like he’s to blame for the drought in the southwest that reduced the nation’s cattle herd.  Ridiculous.

I’ve got some very nice stew meat for tonight–now if I can just muster up the energy to make it.  It’s a little warm for stew, but I felt like having it, so I figured I could indulge myself.

Just went and checked the date on the meat.  I have three more days, so I will make it tomorrow.  I’ll  do it earlier in the day.

Am I turning into a procrastinator?

Maybe.

Have a good night all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

Today was one of those days where you do something and suddenly a couple of hours have gone by with not much to show for it.

That happens a lot.

It just seemed that today everything soaked up time.

Could you please pray for my friend Carol?  Her sister in law is in hospice, and she and her husband have been under a lot of stress.

American mobility is very nice, but often we end up living so far away from friends and family that it becomes really difficult in times of illness or other emergencies when you would like to be closer and the distance is daunting.

I will now go straighten up my kitchen and start thinking about supper.

Have a good night, all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.
