Jeannie and I got all the recycling out of her garage, sorted it, and took it to the recycling center. Both the little girls have savings accounts for college, and the recycling money gets split between their accounts. I have always saved my beer cans and added it to the mix, but today will be the last bag of cans from me as I no longer drink at home.
Jeannie told the girls how much she got for the recycling and how much it would be for each of them, and in addition they sometimes put money into their piggy banks which eventually makes it to the savings accounts. Today Arianna informed Jeannie "I'm going to spend my money because I'm not going to college." Tomorrow she turns 5 yrs old and has already made a monumental life-decision!
After returning home I've been trying to get the dust off my floors, and mopped the kitchen. I hate doing that kind of stuff, and I still have a dishpan full of dirty dishes to wash. I'd love to have a working dishwasher again - as soon as I save the money for the membrane to cover the roof.
Now that I have that huge recycling bag of beer cans out of the back of my car, I can start putting camping eqipment into it. I should be psyched but can't get much energy up yet. I think I've become so lazy the past year or two with health issues that I'm permanently impaired. I used to be such an energetic person!
- Grandkid Week!
Autumn and Arianna (Jeannie's) were over last night for a couple of hours. They are so much fun and I can have adult conversations with them. I hope to see Alyssa and Keira (Joe's) today as I have Keira's birthday present...
- Trying To Beat The Heat
Ok, so if a few readers happen to be a bit chilled because you live on the Pacific Coast, especially if you're lucky enough to live on the coast in Oregon, let me try to warm you up. Or at least make you appreciate the chill. Since about...
- Quitting Time For Today
I was sitting in my comfortable office chair sorting photos & misc., and when I swiveled in the chair I somehow knocked over a nearly full can of beer I had just opened. Fortunately for me the beer didn't get on any of the pictures - that...
- What's Wrong With Me?
Why do I ask? I just drove to Costco and walked around the store, but left without buying anything! I must be coming down with something. I then stopped at the gym on my way home to inquire why my bill was $30 more this month. I thought...
- I Just Want To Scream,
and cry, and throw things, and fall on the floor - do I sound like a toddler? I called the Vision Care place, and of course after 8 days my glasses aren't in. They told me probably mid-week, next week. Why does it take so much longer to get anything...
