When I signed up for Uber before taking an out of state trip on a plane, I made a practice run . I summoned an Uber to my house and had him drive me just a couple of blocks. Gave him $10 cash tip for this short ride. So, he was nice and patient and made a suggestion.
That Is wonderful To have found a community of patients especially someone who had your surgeon.
Have done an absolute ton of decluttering. Mostly gave away housewares on Buy Nothing group, but I had a ton of clothes and linens that weren't in any shape to donate. Too hot and humid today to haul them out to the dumpster, so the garbage bags are just piled in a corner of the kitchen. Have all my important papers in one spot. Have medical POA form, just have to sign it with two witnesses present. Goddaughter's parents are the POA holder. I was already doing this before I was told I had to have a biopsy in a few weeks, so I'm glad it's mostly done. There are still a few spots, but for the most part, massive improvement over how it was.
I feel so much lighter!
Congrats, tradd! You are motivating me - so thanks!
Got a donation card in the mail and will call on it tomorrow - pickup towards the end of the month, so the hope is that I get off my duff and get a lot gathered up.
I know I've done it before, but I'm going to do it again. Somewhat selfishly this time....
Ended up with a surprise extra long weekend, and went with a sibling a couple states away to help another sibling work on/prep their current house for sale. (just got home a couple hours ago). We spent the entire time painting! Felt good to be helpful, appreciated and productive. I love my family and knowing that we are SOOOOO there for each other!
So, again, I have another rave for my family!!!
Rave on there, girlfriend!Quote:

and my response is: I don‘t even know where it is, I cannot tell you the name of the town. There is, apparently, an outdoor amphitheater they like in the Missouri Ozarks so they are performing there.
So, you would think I am rushing there next Sunday, right? But I won’t. I just do not want an amphitheater experience. I am unclear if there are seats. It is a 3 hour drive there and it will take 2 hours to get out of the stupid parking lot after the concert, no doubt.
really it is too bad since I’ve been Jonesing for a Stones concert ever since they opened their tour in St. louis way back in 2021. I skipped it for fear of Covid. And then I would’ve gone up to Chicago last week to see them perform if I didn’t have the national Lily conference and other things going on. The cost of the tickets are trivial—$800 for the best seats. I was willing to pay a whole lot more in Chicago.
Ah well, I will have to catch Mick and the boys when they are here next time. By then he’ll be 85 years old.
My new Subaru Crosstrek is so nice to drive. It’s such an upgrade from the base model Escape that I’m enjoying it so much.
is it? What’s nice about it? I’m not challenging you. I just wanna know.Quote:

It has other stuff that I think is stupid like assisted cruise control. I don’t use it.
I have Apple Car Play. I have ice cold ac that works. I’m not dealing with transmission issues or electrical gremlins. It’s NEW. And a lovely blue not the ugly silver of thr Escape. I just dealt with Escaoe color as it was only $17K in early 2019. End of model year.
Plus I will have AWD when the winter comes. It rides nicer too. Plus I love all the driver assist stuff and the adaptive cruise control is great on the freeway. Escape was very basic. I could only Bluetooth phone calls and music. Ac had been broken the last two years.
