Hump Day Poll: Newsworthy?
source If that brings you warm fuzzies, you're welcome. If you don't know what the heck that's referring to, then you might be too young to understand most of my references here and should probably brush up ! We are going on year 9 of not having watched the news. I remember the last time we went to Kauai in 2016 (holy crap, that makes me want to cry) we didn't watch the news once and couldn't believe how much happier we were. We decided to see how long we could push it and here we are almost a decade later. It's enough to be inundated on internet sites on the hourly with the latest dumpster fire lit that should have nothing to do with the kind of stuff it's reporting but to voluntarily watch the news just is not something I have in me. I rarely watch live tv because of the commercials (well more commercials) but I left it on once a few years ago when a show I was watching went live and the news came on right after. I wasn't watchin...
My recent good is awesome - my cousin agreed to get tested to see if we match to donate a kidney to me - AND WE DO!!! The most self-less gift you can ever give anyone. So appreciative - and scared. But it's my chance to live a better life and he's adamant about going through with it. I feel very blessed.
ReplyDeleteMy good was that I got my new lawn furniture assembled last weekend and the fire pit was brought out of storage, so that it is ready for use this weekend.
ReplyDeleteI also had a fantastic walk after supper on Wednesday. The sun was shining, but it wasn't too warm, I could smell the sea air, and it felt good to be alive. My boyfriend actually suggested that we go. Normally I am dragging him out the door to go for a walk. His suggesting it was a really nice change.
My recent good thing is my eldest was home all Mother's day weekend and did a bunch of items off my to do list! I waited 30 years for that day!
ReplyDeleteWishing you two a fantastic vacation!
My good came out of something bad, which was my car breaking down 70 miles from home in the suburbs. I got help from an auto parts store who directed me to the dealership (and called for me) with 10 minutes to spare on a Saturday afternoon, and the service dept treated me like gold. I bought both places Fannie May as a thank you on Thursday and they were very surprised and appreciative. To my utter shock the service guy had already done up my invoice the day before and said he only charged me for 2 days for the loaner car instead of the 6 I rented it for. He said I'd been through enough and he couldn't do that to me. AND he only charged me $35 a day! So $70 to rent a 2018 Chevy Trax for 6 days with all that mileage. I was blessed indeed!
