So sorry you had a difficult day and sorry for that struggling family.

I'm sure there are many things you will enjoy in retirement. DH and I were just discussing how much we enjoy having the time to sit with our coffee and read the news in the morning. Do you think managing your eating will be easier without those tempting school treats around?

I can see why homicide crossed your mind. How could the problem go on unfixed, for two years, after you brought it up multiple times? ARGH!

New valve in place under the sink. He also helped me change the filters on my water system (I couldn't get them unscrewed) and put a speaker cover back on one of the outdoor speakers that blew off. I could have done that, but it involved a ladder and working over my head, both of which I avoid whenever possible. Oh, and he caulked around my water filter things as water inevitably drips behind the wall when you unscrew them.

I'm sure I've mentioned how bad my cell coverage is at my house and that wifi calling hasn't helped. I couldn't take it anymore and looked into a landline, but I can't get one out here. The internet guy said I should have my a/v guy check the settings on the router. They control that, I can't see it. So though I'd mentioned it to him multiple times, I finally sent an email with everything I've tried that hasn't worked. This is the email I got back this morning: "Good morning Ceci. I just checked on your set up and it looks like I never turned on the setting in the router to enable WiFi calling, I apologize for this. It should be fixed and working now."

You guys, it's been TWO YEARS of phone torture!! Calls dropping or cutting out, people saying I sound like a pixelated robot. And he forgot to turn that on. I was stunned. I wrote back and said, "I don't know whether to murder you or hug you. I'm leaning toward murder..." He was apologetic l but I feel like some kind of pain and suffering remuneration is in order! TWO F$&#ING YEARS.

My bff and our old boss and her husband are coming here tomorrow for 2 days. I'm trying and failing to clean. I have to go do that. I'm so tired and am not up for visitors! I'm sure it will be fun.

Another visitor I had today was kind of fun. This javalina and his "squadron" (good collective noun) dropped by for a snack tonight:

Okay, off to clean and stop procrastinating. Take care friends!

Here are a couple of totems that were a group project at the studio. Not as cool as CC's but fun. ds
