Job

As I shared in a previous post, I’ve been teaching very part-time for ElderGrow.org. I was invited to apply as their Grant Program Administrator in our state, a full-time position. After talking with Eldergrow’s VP of Operations about the position, and reading the job description, which could have been written for me, I applied. Long […]

Camping Trip

We returned yesterday from our go-to State Park from 5-nights of doing not a whole lot. It was amazing. We: Played Bolos, backgammon, and gin rummy. Read Slept late Ate well Took walks Made two trips to two local towns that we enjoy, and Had our 20th anniversary dinner at a lovely restaurant in one […]

Meanderings…

This week of healing up from last Monday’s surgery/procedure has been fairly positive. Wednesday was a cluster-fuck that had me tossing certain meds in the trash which are meant to handle symptoms that make you feel like you have a UTI… These meds slow down the digestive tract, among other things. My digestive system is […]

Home Again

The timing estimates were amazingly accurate, and I am back home. My DH is making me some hot cereal laced with my homemade plum jam. After I finish breakfast, my plan is to sleep. I have no pain to speak of, but plenty of meds in case that changes. The stone broke up as directed, […]

Surgery

Well, my definition of surgery involves a scalpel, but I think insurance companies have broadened the criteria for surgery to suit their own needs… If the timing works as advertised, I should be home 12-hours from now. But, because hospitals, even surrounding out-patient procedures, operate (hahahaha) on car dealership-time, I am not going to hold […]

Pup Tents

My father served in the US Army during the Korean War. He wasn’t allowed out of the US, however, because he was a code breaker and it was too big a risk to have him fall into enemy hands. Dad spent time in the south while in the Army, and told amazing and hilarious stories […]

Accident Update

I got my car back today, 30-days after dropping it off. Due to insurance shenanigans, the body shop only got the bumper cover on Monday. I have a survey to fill out regarding my insurance company’s claim’s service. That’s gonna be gratifying to complete. But perhaps after they send me back my deductible. Depends on […]

Case Closed

The Fire Marshal texted me Tuesday after his meeting with other departmental leads from the city. He’s closed the case, and will only stop by the house if there are further credible complaints. During a phone conversation we had on Monday he made it clear he understands the neighbor is a Mrs. Kravitz of sorts, […]

Fire Marshal

On Thursday I arrived at the mainland house at the same time as the fire marshal pulled into the driveway. He was coming to investigate complaints re the tenant’s business. There has been an uptick in problems between the tenant and the neighbor. The tenant bent over backwards to accommodate the neighbor: Changed from a […]

Deck, edited!

The deck is complete at the mainland house. It looks amazing, and is probably more solid than the house. By the time I finished returning lumber to the lumber yard (they know me by my first name now, and we have inside jokes), made another dump run, and loaded the truck with all the scrap […]
