Good morning everyone! My car is back and you cannot tell where the dents were. Rental car is returned and XM radio is reinstalled in my own car. I still need to get gasoline for the drive home. The Monday dance class leaves me about an hour of wait time, so I used it to find and purchase a new jacket. The old one has a hole in the elbow and will be converted to a cat bed because they all like it. I talked to the people with the 6 cats about free spay/neuter program. Despite his ER visit and two urgent care visits, they are adamant about keeping the cats inside. I like these people
. The checkbook got balanced and, as usual, it is ugly, The x cashed my check for DD16's medical expenses. The memo line reads "<name>'s med expenses through <last receipt date>", so he cannot surprise me by going back further than that. He tried, but I told him that 2017 receipts fail to meet the timely requirement.
The xBFF called and we had a nice conversation. I think the deaths of two mutual friends are making her want to reconnect with others. My traveling companion friend (the xBFF's daughter's honorary grandmother) thinks she is reconnecting to people because the novelty of the boyfriend is wearing off, but I disagree. I do think she is coming to terms with the fact that the boyfriend intends to remain a boyfriend and not become a husband or even live-in. He is going to rent his house to his daughter, but instead of changing things with xBFF, he is buying a small house near work. That is a clear sign.
I realized there is an even bigger complication if my brother and company comes for Christmas: that will be 8 people and my car holds 7. Not insurmountable, just would need to be dealt with. The possibility of 9 cats may send them running screaming, maybe to a hotel, maybe a thousand miles away!
Why are people having trouble finding stamps? They all know how to order online! They are even delivered to your mailbox!
Yesterday's conversations made me realize I don't own a recliner. I obviously don't need one as I never noticed before.
LadyMaverick's DS10's shoes remind me of a camping trip we took with DDthen6. Driving to the campsite, her shoes fit. The next morning, she asked for help getting them on and I couldn't get them on. The XthenHusband was annoyed until he realized he couldn't either. We had to buy new ones that morning.
