Daily check in..for all #186

Lynnwood, so sorry about your kitty. 19.5 is the most aged cat I have ever heard of!

I get it though, pets are so much more trust worthy. Since hubby left, when I caught if cheating, almost 1.5 now. My hard earned trust basis is bottomed out again. I think the rest of life will be solitary. I will be content.

PH.d. I am impressed.

Pitmom, I am sorry about your truck, but more anxious for you about the FLEAS! Yikes!!

I have to admit that I am totally annual about my 2 dogs, keeping the clean and flea free. This year I am giving the monthly chewable instead of the oil, much easier and it works.

As for cars. I have to give credit to John, he does make sure my car is in good condition and I always have a newer model. He understands the years I spent on my own, 18-29 when my cars died on me constantly.
My car makes a noise and I get a panic attack now. Silly I know, but there it is.

I hope everyone has a nice day. 81 here today, but humid. Nice in the am, meditated in am on patio planning on sitting out in twilight to read while dogs chase grass hoppers and butterflies. Both are plentiful this year.

Peace All

Hi everyone.

Today I'm just chilling out. I went out to eat for lunch and then went grocery shopping. And now I'm doing very little for the rest of the day. I see nothing wrong with that.

Hope everyone is fine today.

Thanks, Karen.

Going to the grocery store these days is a piece of cake for me.

But years ago, I'd sometimes get rather nervous when checking out at the cash register. I'm glad I don't have that problem anymore.

Hi Kathy!

Thanks for sharing... I have raised a lot of pups but no children directly. Took care of my granddaughter (through marriage) a lot when she was a baby. I loved it...

I hope you have a good day today...

Hugs, Karen...

Hello all.
So, the repair shop sent a mechanic out to look at my truck (I was not about to drive it there) and he said the clips for the rear calipers are bent out of shape and scraping on the rotors. I hope to take it in today as he bent them away the best he could so it's not making the noise at least.

Did some garden clean up and am paying for it physically.

Blasted my daughter and grandson again on them not helping with the housework or the pets.

Round and round and round we go!

Hi Pitmom. I'll bet after you've been exercising for awhile you won't get tired mid morning anymore. I admire you for exercising before work. I cannot drag myself out of bed to do that. I'm sorry that your daughter and grandson aren't helping. What would happen if you went on strike? Just took care of the pets and yourself and let the rest go. It might get kind of messy, but maybe they would see how much you really do. Just a thought.

I got very angry at my brother for continuing to talk about selling the childhood home as if I was all for it, and I let him know about it. Now he hasn't spoken to me for almost a month. We usually talk on the phone once a week and text 2-3 times a week. I know it is his way of being manipulative and passive aggressive, but it's hard not to get depressed about it. Heavy sigh, I think I'll get a Diet Coke.

Lynwood, I am so sorry about your cat. Such a big part of your life for so long. Everything seems to happen at the same time, doesn't it? Have you heard about the semi colon symbol for depression support? It means your life is not over yet. I found out about it this summer at a NAMI event and I really liked it. If I ever got a tattoo, that would be it, to remind me to keep going. I hope tomorrow is a better day for you.

Lynnwood

I am so sorry for your losses. I pray that your recovers, that the police somehow finds the driver.

You never know how strong you are, til you have to be. I will tell you about me, no comparing it does not mean anything when another is suffering. You will get through this. Keep posting we are heat for you. We understand and care.

After a while, maybe your can adopt a 1-2 yr old cat from a rescue.

Buena, so glad you have discovered :! I am going to get a tattoo on my left forearm, insuide, with the top of the period breaking open and birds flying out with a blue bird going left and a yellow above more to the left and head looking up to the right and out.

over my suicidal scars, not to hide them, but the tiny black birds at first flying along the straight lines.
My story, definitely is not over yet!

I have a bracelet, dangle circle stamped : and another, "still she persisted"

We are all Warriors Buena, not survivors, not victims. Warriors!!

Peace, strength and comfort.

Lynnwood, I'm sorry to hear about your cat passing. It's really hard when a pet dies as they are part of the family. I also hope your friend is doing better.

Buena, I like the semi-colon tattoo. A few of my relatives have tattoos of Jesus, the names of their children, and the names of love ones who passed. I think if I ever got a tattoo I would want something unique, maybe a word or phrase spelled out using Japanese's characters.

I'm feeling very anxious after watching different news outlets report that the country is heading into a recession. I always thought that the economy wasn't doing well despite contrary reports.

On a lighter note, I have decided to stop dying my hair and embrace my grey. After watching videos of other women embracing their grey hair, and looking fabulous with it, I'm encouraged to stop wasting money on hair dyes which are probably damaging. The only problem is I have patches of grey in the front and side-not the back, so it may look weird.

Have a good night everyone!

I stopped dying my hair years ago. So my hair is grey. It was blonde so it is almost white. I keep it curly and I like it.

I have thought about tattoos but I am a chicken. I have thought about a rose or the Japanese's characters. Just not sure what I want it to say. I have never had a tattoo so I am afraid. When my first husband had lung cancer they tried to tattoo him for radiation but they kept bleeding out.. That would probably be my luck. It would fade or bleed out.

Lynnwood,

Things sound better for you. I am glad that your friend is somewhat okay. Glad it wasn't real serious. I went to bed at 9:00 last night. Ha...

I hope you all have a good day. Looks sunny here so far. Wishing you all a blessed day....

Hugs, Karen...

Good for you Mike... My insurance has had a lot of changes and my vision insurance changed. The place I usually go to doesn't take my new insurance so I have to look else where. The one place that takes it is close by but they are more expensive so out of pocket cost will be more. Bummer...

It is nice to have a back up pair...

Have a good evening Mike,

Hugs, Karen...

That is rough FP. Will they let you make payments? I hope so.

I hate anything to do with teeth going wrong. I have put a lot of money into my mouth.

I wish you the best.

Hugs, Karen...

I don't have dental insurance either.

However, I see a dentist at a nearby community health center. They have a sliding scale fee for people like me who have a low income. So it's like the equivalent of having dental insurance.
