What I'm Reading This Week #27
Happy Friday everyone! I hope you've got the day off to enjoy. I would really appreciate the weather dialing it back from Satan's taint to dryish heat please. I'm not even asking for much. Like 83 degrees would make me happy at this point but there's no end in sight to the 90's. The Mr and I have both been plagued with migraines this week. He had a two day event and I had an ocular migraine which is just so crappy to deal with since you can't read or do anything until your vision isn't screwed up. I got to wait on hold for an hour Tuesday with the state tax department so I decided to sand and prime the newel post while listening to hold music designed to make you hang up. To quote Bugs Bunny "he don't know me vewy well, do he?" I got that squared away and later went out between pop up storms to deadhead some zinnias which you may have seen in Wednesday's post. Speaking of Wednesday, it was a busy day in the ga...
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!
