Marilyn and I did get to SLEEP IN a bit today. Well, I guess she got up early, but I slept quite late. (I don't know how she does it...) She had washed her hair and done some other things before I ever got up ( Read more... )

This was both a good and bad day, with happy and sad moments. I suppose many days are like that, when we think about it. In my world, I try to dwell on the positive, so I'd always count such a day as good, overall ( Read more... )

Marilyn and I have been hit by Wall Street losses before (years ago). And now we've been hit again. They say to sit tight. It will 'come back.' But Marilyn's pretty upset. It's not like we had that much money to begin with. And now? And it's easy for younger people to say 'sit tight' -- try that when you're in your 60's ( Read more... )

St. Jude is on this because I've been praying to him a lot today. Sister Sue has lost her glasses. She believes in they're in the house somewhere, but she's looked and Candy has looked and they can't find them. This is bad, because she really can't afford to replace them ( Read more... )

On the way to the office this morning, I got a call from the specialist -- Kay was asking if I could come in early, at 10:30. (My appointment was originally set for 1:00.) Marilyn and I got to the office and there were immediately IT issues to deal with. I was chatting with Shelley and Marilyn reminds me to phone and say 'yes' to the appointment ( Read more... )

The plumber (Roger) has been here and gone -- and it only (only???) cost $92.00. I haven't been down to check on the state of the filthy sinks yet (sigh), but will do so shortly ( Read more... )

Sister Sue suzy_qp took her running car in for an oil change -- then had it go belly up while grocery shopping. Triple AAA took her home, but she has no clue what to do now. The man who towed her said he couldn't speak about the place she'd gone to, but implied it wasn't trustworthy -- so there's good reason to believe they did something to make the car ( Read more... )
