Yesterday I had to correct "stuff" on the computer here--By the time I finished, it was almost noon--You see, while out in the Peterborough area, Son#2b added some of my bills, onto my Visa, which I was unaware of--So, I decided that "I " must decide how to pay these bills, and it helps if I see them---- so, I guess you might say, I have taken control of my life--my bills--and, working on a new computer makes everything even more difficult , with passwords etc--So, to straighten everything out, it was afternoon, before we finished---
And then it was "hair day"-- Life sometimes gets in the way doesn't it?-
Lopez and I have been "on the walk"--and he did his business--It is sunny and not too cool--
kinda nice!
-The one thing that needs to be done here ASAP--- is the window coverings--We have nothing over any window---I was going to get a store to come in and do the works-- measure, then hang the drapes or whatever I decide on--but, that seems to cost 50 million dollars--so, I guess we will measure, and I'll get my "job man" to install whatever I decide on---sheers or verticals--or blinds--
So that is about "IT"--I did miss you all yesterday--How are you doing?--Are you feeling strong?--Sometimes we must lower our standards somewhat, to be strong--and other times we must "stick to our guns" as Dad used to say, to be strong--change our attitudes, and take what we can live with to get the job done!
a blast from the past-- a family reunion--"way back when"-----I am in the front row--sitting down, dressed in a white short outfit--Tim, (son#4) is sitting besidev me, facing me--
````````````I hope to-day will be a great day for you--MAKE IT THE BEST DAY EVER!--Be kind to everyone--because everyone if fighting their own battle-- a smile will make their day happier!
Good Morning to you all!
Good Morning Lynda,
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday!
I am sure you will figure out the whole blind, curtain thing.
I pay almost all my bills online. It takes a little time but they don't get lost in the mail or misplaced.
Enjoy your day!
Jackie
yes I like to pay my bills one---feel good when it works -Lynda
DeleteGood morning, Lynda! I figured you were busy yesterday. Cloudy in Ohio. I miss the sun! No sun for a few days now. Yes, have your handyman to measure your windows and just get white cordless honeycomb blinds that you just smoothly lift up with your hand. They are so nice and nicely priced. Do you have a Home Depot or Lowe’s? Hope you have a fantastic Friday! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteCloudy here also--with a few rain drops--Yrs I like those blinds also so will get them I hope--had to get a few groceries today--Lynda
DeleteGood morning, sis!
ReplyDeleteYou sure did have a busy day yesterday!
Your sons mean to help, but you need to tell them to check with you first. Or at least tell you ASAP what they did and how to work with it.
The photo of the family is great. I remember having family reunions when I was younger.
I attended my 25th high school reunion, too. My mom went with me as she graduated from the same high school.
It's cloudy here and only 67F. Storms are called for this afternoon.
You will get your chosen window covers (as well as pictures, mirrors, etc,) hung eventually. Be sure to save some time every day for leisure. It helps our sanity. Music, reading, meditating, looking at funny stuff on facebook or youtube. Then you will be recharged to do more 'fixing.'
Today is my daughter's birthday. She is 49. Her gift hasn't been shipped to me yet.
I'll check back later, Lynda. You're right...we must make it a good day! {{{HUGS}}} Love, Maggie
Happy Birthday to your daughter-- and yes, I need to be in control of my bills-- Yu are so good to note yer Daughters Birthday--Good for you--Lynda
DeleteIt's Kathy. I did miss you yesterday, kept coming back to see if you posted later. But I totally understand getting caught up in computer work, especially when it relates to finances. I have been paying my bills on-line for a long time and yes, it is kind of crazy sometimes but it does make things so much easier than writing checks and having to pay to mail them. Postage has gone up so much in the US. And now so many sites have a second identity verification by sending you a code either by text or email that you must enter before you can log in. That one I'm not all that happy about because I'm the only one who uses my computer and I ONLY use it at home. But the world isn't as safe as it used to be. I hope today is a calm and happier day for you. I love the family picture - it's so nice that you have so many family members. Sometimes I feel like Tom and I are pretty much all alone - even with 6 kids between us!
ReplyDeleteHi Kathy--Yes, sorry about yesterday--but--- I like to SEE the bills--But we got it sorted and new blinds on the windows here now--- so much better--It all takes time doesn't it??--But--I did miss yu all--Lynda
DeleteI have found it helpful set up automatic payment from my bank (or credit card) to pay recurring bills on line every month or year. It prevents forgetting to pay important bills ie insurance, rent etc
ReplyDeleteJenny in Minnesota (recent widow who had to take over finances too after spouse developed dementia- it takes a bit to get organized but its worth it)
Good for Jenny-- Taking over the bills is a good thing--I feel more in charge then-- Hugs to yu--Lynda
DeleteGood for you taking charge of your bills, taking charge of your LIFE. It is a process, isn’t it!
ReplyDeleteIt’s been a challenge since breaking my left hip . . . BUT . . . getting my mojo back. Slow, slow, slow, but progress none-the-less.
Hope that you get your window coverings handled w/the least financial output! OY!
Love the blast from the past AND your photo looks great!!!!!
Hugs and blessings to both you and Lopez!

Howdy Barb!!--Yes those bills--- but they needed doing-- I will show yu the blinds tomorrow--I do like them and the price at the HART store was amazing-Lynda
DeleteHi Lynda, missed you yesterday, but finances and tending to them , are important. It is very hot here today, 96 degrees, just as it was yesterday.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was young, heat wasn't an issue, but now that I'm in my 70s, I don't handle it very well. Thankfully I do have A/C throughout the house.
Is Sushi remaining upstairs? Maybe if you play your piano she'll come down and listen along with Lopez.
Maureen from California
Hi Maureen--Yes the piano tuner has been here--so good to see him! I do not enjoy the heat either-- Lynda
DeleteHi Lynda: I like those blinds above. They are real easy to use. Missed you yesterday. Glad everything is ok. Have a good night. Brenda
ReplyDeleteHi Brenda--Yes I do like the blinds-- bought them, at the HART store ion town as the price was right-- Lynda
