  1. Ok, got the second quote this morn on AC and furnace replacement, prolly go with the first, though I haven't had opportunity to compare the quotes. In both cases I filled out the contact us on their websites, and whereas the first one sent me a confirmation that they'd received the message, the second didn't. Then there was response time, I think a day for the first company, two for the second. And then the quote process, documenting measurements, exactly the same, but the first fed it into a tablet, generated quotes and emailed me as well as showing me them. The second? Did I mention that the guy who showed up, the brother of the owner, had a salesman's case that looked he'd had it since he started, and the quote was in the form of a pre-printed sheet, I guess they're sorted by the combo needed, but rather old school that. Also the first company took a good look at the compressor unlike the second, and determined that I'll need a new base for it, as well as leveling it out, which is included.

    Yeah, so we got that done this morn. But that's just part of the week, we spent Friday dealing with Apple as we have the court order giving me access to his iCloud, its not exactly obvious how to handle it, which boils down to mail it to Apple in CA. Yes, Apple, not legal, not beneficiary department, just Apple, and they'll sort it out. Umm, wanna guess what my confidence level is on this?

    Friday was also the first AC/furnace quote. Monday was the plumber, we're getting a new water heater too, I prolly shouldn't use them because they're a bit over priced, but meh, just get it done. Oh, and I think it was Friday I was informed that the estate packed from the court is done and should be on its way to me. And my taxes got finished Tues, so when I got home today, I finally got to reviewing that.

    Oh, and I proofread fan fic, and an author I regularly do stuff for dropped an 83 page (in gDocs) story on me.

    And Sat I did flea market selling of some estate items, but that's been a waste of time and money. And since I was working that day, Friday had been grocery shopping and accounting.

    All this plus work and chores

    Current selfie…

    Let's see, tomorrow is work, Sat is work, Sun and Mon might be work, might be estate work if'n the packet shows up, but definitely mowing the lawn in there, it needs being done. And of course usually chores, grocery shopping and banking.

    I think I'm a bit tired… Just a bit

  6. Imagine everything we do is because of money...

    and while 'work' can be seen as "keeping #busy", the whole point of #money and #banks is to make you work (for them). Hmm.

    So it all becomes a bit meaningless if I / us all do whatever we can just to pay #rent. Whatever it takes to get money putting #living & #morals waaaaaay down the #list each month.

    #Parents might realise feeding #children in the same "#system of a down" (#cheating #maths / #debt-increase) isn't going to get better. Right? 👶

  8. @DjityDjity I guess everyone / the general public is in their own kind of mental #war or #dilemma and that is a big #reason for being #physically or #morally #occupied / #busy / #distracted and #trying to figure it out, at the same time as other things that are over-arching #wars (so wars and people, inside wars and #people).

    And some people are just saying to themselves "I''m just glad it wasn't me ... and I'm not going to say that out-loud for anyone to hear because maybe that is bad".

  12. Busy days… 🐾

    I don't usually get a lot of visitors. Sometimes, I do miss that a bit, as it can be a bit lonely to be on my own at times... But, when this post goes live (I started writing on it a few days ago), I won't be alone anymore! ❤️ I'll have my hands full with my new choccy love, Koa, who will have joined me in my litle home on Wednesday, April 22nd. But, as I write this part on Monday, April 20th, Koa isn't here yet, and I'm still worried about forgetting anything that I should be doing to prepare for him... As these busy days are all about getting ready for Koa. And then, getting used to him, and he to me. Finding our ways together. And then... People will start visiting us. Well, mostly Koa, and I can take care of the drinks and snacks, as Koa will be too busy being loved by everyone. 🥰 […]

  17. weekend continues! Even today we have booth both at in and at in with our

  18. Well, this week has so far involved a seizure from Jarrah (he missed a dose of his medication, which doesn't bode well for reducing it over the next month, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it), a night of digestive issues for me, and a call from Dad late this afternoon, who thankfully didn't need the hospital this time (probably just dehydrated and low blood sugar; I went over and made him a cuppa and a sandwich).

    It's Tuesday. Wtf. I'm putting in an order for less drama for the rest of the week please.

    However! Good things are happening all the same:

    + Kid4 has been playing Diablo 2 and loving it and keeps asking me stuff and last night we had a chat about some things (waypoints and identifying items) and he said, 'It's so great to be finally playing a game that I can talk to you about!' (because I play few games, but Diablo 2 is one of my very faves)

    + we have a hot day forecast tomorrow but after that, hopefully it'll be into cooler weather

    + the kitchen stayed clean until the weekend! I say 'stayed clean' – I mean, I kept it clean. Obviously it's a bit messy now given the last couple of days but I feel like it's not overwhelming. Also, the fam is helping with this – yay for a virtuous circle

    + fit in a good trumpet practice before Dad called. I missed so many days last week and I really noticed the difference in my lesson

    + I ordered a record for my birthday soon and it arrived and I'm so delighted 🥰
