Thanks ready2change for the encouragement! Can’t believe it’s Sunday already. No big plans. Feeding the calf at 2:00. I’ll be taking mom with me…but I’ll take the dog too so no chance to go to the casino. Later today I’ll take the 18 gallons of paint and 18 gallons of primer to the house. The 5 gallon pails are very heavy so I’ll wait until my husband gets off work at 5 to unload them. Hope to meet with the painter this afternoon so I can dump the cash. I keep checking to make sure the ******** is still in my purse even though I haven’t left the house. So much cash makes me nervous!
Mom is going with her friends to a ‘free’ casino weekend starting Friday. She says she is only going to gamble just a certain amount. Poor thing…there is no such thing for a cg to stop once they start gambling. She seems different the past few years. I don’t know if I see her differently since gambling isn’t such a big part of my life or if it’s that she is getting so much older. I’m sad about it because I don’t know how much time she has left and I’ve limited our time together trying to break away from gambling. We’ll spend a few hours together today.
I ordered some shelf liner and an under-the-counter-pull out- garbage system. It has a smaller back container and larger front container. When we move, we’ll separate cardboard (burnable), food waste (compost) and all other garbage (to the dump). That’s going to be a big change for us. We’re not having garbage pickup…at least at first so we’re trying to be ‘green’…hope I can do it!
Hope everyone is having a wonderful Sunday afternoon. Don’t waste a second of it sitting in a dirty smoky casino! Life as so much more to offer.
