Marigold Monday

[Doggedly]

Monday
Cleaned up after dog X 2
Gave Germane her breakfast–hurray! She will eat her food, as long as it is topped by Go! Shredded Turkey. We have a working strategy.
Germane used pee pads twice more, coming back to collect her treat each time.
The last time, Germane decided that she no longer eats Go! Shredded Turkey. At this point, I think that she has had enough to eat, and is just begging for food out of habit.
Double-checked appointment time
Updated goals
New Procrastaccomplishments list
Got a serving of the slow cooker’s sauce with leftover pasta. Pronounced it a success.
Spiffed self
Cleared off car
Brought Germane to groomer
Went to dollar store to look for kitchen cloths and napkins. Found a bag of soil small enough that it is suitable for an apartment. Pinky And The Brain will be thrilled to be repotted.

LOL, trissie, Queen of Page 3. My one claim to aristocracy. And thank you for the blue tape vibes. Hopefully, they hear you.
--and there goes my phone. Germane is ready to be picked up.

Regarding laundry, I am seeing the bottom of my laundry hamper right now! But by tomorrow, it will be covered again.

trissie, that sounds helpful for you and the therapist.
Has Germane been beautified, Doggedly? Which film are you discussing?
Hi Peaches.
Sounds like your pup had several outings today, kitkat. I noticed it was windy on my jog.

I'm eating a really nice apple for a snack! It's a variety I don't normally get. And it's huge - a huge tasty snack!

Got an email reply from the lawyer's office this a.m. I emailed them Friday evening, so they got back to me quite promptly. They also have not heard from the trustee since November when they sent a link for her to make an appointment for a meeting with the lawyer regarding my mother's estate. She never made an appointment. I'm trying not to get too worried. I'll try calling her in a couple of days.

Did you mean me, Bama? helia?

The lawyer - well, really the paralegal as I usually communicate with her first - said that they haven't been formally engaged by the trustee to handle the estate and trust administration, so they are likewise unsure of the status of the trust, etc. The trustee does move very slowly sometimes; I'm hoping that's just it.

[Bama]

I’m sorry, helia! I was talking to you but apparently had trissie on my mind lol.

[Doggedly]

Germane is all clean and lovely, helia.
We were talking about The Princess Bride, which I saw for the first time this weekend. Bama told me about a showing of the movie in her area, in which one of the actors came out on the stage after the movie.
I hope that the trustee is just lazy and not up to something.

LOL, Bama, Germane is pleased to be back on her bed in the bathroom, after a good feed of her preferred dog food.
Look at all of those check marks. You've been busy!
