Our day was very ordinary except for our organizing of our expenses to get a handle on how we are managing them, especially now with all our additional ones on the medical end.
We were somewhat pleased to see that we have it all under control our metaphorical tight rope that we have been walking on while doing our careful balancing act; as long as no other emergencies come up, vehicle breaks down or appliances or any other major ills cause us to need hospitalization, again. We will be just fine, and for now that is somewhat of a relief.
The nice surprise was refreshing and reassuring; we got a visit from a captain from the sheriff’s office, a co- worker of my hubby’s that we had been friendly with and hadn’t seen in a dog’s age. She mentioned that she and her hubby had tried to stop by many times before, but when they saw no truck in the driveway they thought we weren’t home. Apparently, I guess, she forgot the memo that we sent out back in 2001 (not really) when we purchased our Blazer that fits quite nicely in our garage where it resides whenever we are home, aha, which is most of the time.
Now that we got that all straightened out we may be seeing both of them more often, and that would be very nice in my book, lovely people, really.
Any-who, the day was another one with much heat and humidity but one also of no rain promised as of the last few days it has been water poor, and sadly this months water bill did show a slight increase. It must be the fact that when there is no rain at all the water evaporation rate goes up in both the swimming pool and the pond, causing us to supplement them with city water, ouch! The veggies need some moisture too of course so there goes the bill, although the rain barrel is still being used for them, but with all the sediment that also goes into it; it is only good for the veggies not the other two water hungry areas.
Tonight, I am having a small glass of red wine while writing this Blog; I haven’t had any in ages, and I am finding it refreshing and nice. Again the docs have given it the thumbs up on the health-o-meter, as being a great way to get those antioxidants into you in very pleasant way. So me being me of course I listened to them!
On that note of silly I will wish you all a good night and to all count those blessings and I will too!
Speaking My Mind is about: Tobi, who is a middle aged, no, oh all right a slightly over the hill woman with all the imperfections that go with that, and this concerns her daily life's perceptions and experiences.
