It's a kind of weird snow day at work. It snowed heavy all night. I got up early to shovel and jumped in during a small lull in the storm to drive to work. Bare bones staff are here. Building residents are being super chill. I'm playing Grateful Dead a little louder than usual in my office and there's talk of a pizza party for the staff who did come in. My work husband is getting me a gluten free pizza. I can totally take this type of snow day.

Gavin is on my mind. He is the Rottweiler I rescued from the highway about a month ago. The vet told me Gavin did not have a mean bone in his body. He also said I hope he will not hop your fence and leave.

Gavin ate a big dinner tonight. Then over the fence he went. Gone. Some dogs cannot be fenced in.

I gave him my very best. My heart is broken. I don't know, maybe I should think about rescuing those little fi fi type pooches

I have been riding the roads looking for Gavin with no luck. I had to fill out a late slip this morning at work.

I hope so much he is okay. Wish he could have been able to complete his heartworm treatments and stayed at least long enough to have eye surgery. His eyelids turn under, cause his eyelashes to scratch his eyes.

Gavin has been someone's dog for about 9 years. Not only did they beat him but they did not meet any of his medical needs either.

Gavin rubbed off his collar and rabies tag on a stump. I found it a little ways down the driveway. The boy does not like fences and collars.

Safe passage to you Gavin!! I will not forget you. Should you return, there will always be a place for you with us.

My wisdom teeth need to come out. The space for them has always been tight and caused problems. Them coming out isn’t a big deal but I’m really aggravated that they will only do one at a time. 1st is this week but that’s 4 separate visits. I would go somewhere else but this place is good and seems to cost a little less. Dental work can be expensive when it’s all out of pocket. I tried to talk them into 2 at a time but it was a no go. That should be up to me and not them, my mouth, my pain.

I am wondering if others feel this way. It is like I have "F*CK WITH ME" written across my forehead.

I got a brake job done yesterday. Dropped it off at 8:30. The manager did my paperwork. I asked him the price of an oil change too. He said $59.00. I laughed and told him that was ridiculous and to add 2 or 3 quarts today. New pads and rotor resurfacing for both front were on special, $60.00 off for $129.99 ... it was the same for both rear ones too. I told him to call me as soon as it was inspected and tell me what it needed and give me the price. He did not call. I called at 11:30, he was not there but the mechanic who was mumbling and not much audible said they could go on and start then ... it would be ready at 1:30. Since I could not hear him much, I said,"so it is only the front ones and it will be $129.99 plus the oil, right?" He said, "yea." I called at 1:30 before I told my ride to take me. I asked the total charge and it was $448.00. They replaced both front rotors with new ones. I started laughing and asked for the manager. He was not available. On the ride over there, the manager called. I told him he needed to adjust the price before I got there and bring it down to $129.99 and 2 or 3 quarts of oil because that is the quote the mechanic agreed with me on at 11:30. He said the rotors could not be turned because they were too far gone. I said that was his problem since he never found time to call and tell me ... and that his mechanic told me $129.99 at 11:30 before he started the work. When I walked in, I ensured all the customers were aware of this conflict. This manager even tried to pull a fast one about the oil. He said it was store policy not to add oil but to do an oil change. I told him he had this same knowledge this morning when I asked him to add 2 or 3 quarts ... and that I would not pay for the oil change either. He adjusted the total down to $144.11 and asked if it was acceptable to me. I said it was fine. Also informed him if I had heard from him and he had told me the rotors needed replacing with new ones and quoted me the $448.00 before the work started, I would have gladly paid for them but I did not play little boy games.

I do not enjoy having to act this way one bit but sometimes it is necessary to rise to the occasion. :(

My car and my stupidity are on my mind. I am in the habit of leaving my front door unlocked, safe neighbourhood syndrome maybe. So today a new delivery driver called, I was upstairs and he opened the door and left a parcel in the porch, I came straight down and as I walked through the house I could see him sitting in his van eyeing my car and the house up closely for quite a while. I picked up my parcel and locked my door, still he sat and watched. My keys are kept not far from the door in a dish, keys to the house and car, convenient for any would be burglar or car thief. My door will be locked from now on and the keys have been relocated.

Mostly the ebb and flow of life. I’m feeling rather introspective today thanks to a good heart-to-heart with a dear friend last night. We both seem to be at a place where we need to take a look in the mirror and then give ourselves a good kick in the ass.

I’m going to leave this here for anyone else who might need it....

“We have so little faith in the ebb and flow of life, of love, of relationships. We leap at the flow of the tide and resist in terror its ebb. We are afraid that it will never return.

We insist on permanency, on duration, on continuity; when the only continuity possible, in life as in love, is in growth, in fluidity…

Intermittency—an impossible lesson for human beings to learn…

Perhaps this is the most important thing: simply the memory that each cycle of the tide is valid; each cycle of the wave is valid….

One must accept the security of ebb and flow, of intermittency.”

- Anne Morrow Lindbergh

The loss of the local entrepreneur is on my mind these days.

I went to have my car serviced today. The "local" dealer is part of a regional conglomerate which translates into better deals on new vehicles but negatively affects service. I rarely see the same service advisor twice. The turn over both in service and sales is about 95% every 6 months.

They now have centralized scheduling for appointments ( a call center by any other name is still a call center). This is fine if you just want an oil change or need an inspection sticker. If you are having a problem, it is a different story.

And, based on todays visit, I am gathering they are running out of service advisors who actually know something about cars. A service advisor should know more than me about cars. Todays order taker was pleasant but clueless. The service manager, who also does not look familiar, resorted to mansplaining my car to me. It didn't turn out well. LOL.

I learned my dentist sold his practice to a conglomerate out of the midwest. Not sure how this works. He is still my dentist. The practice name didnt change but I expect the overall financing did. This would explain why I cannot get a refund for being wrongly charged for something.

I keep changing veterinarians because they keep being bought out and now like to order unnecessary tests and xrays, per the protocol, just to boost the bottom line aka the vet cannot exercise their own judgement based on their own experience.

I am really not liking this.

I like developing working relationships with the folks I use for things. I like seeing familiar faces, hearing familiar voices, and feeling confident in the professionals I use.

We have to see if the doctor will even say it’s ok for her to fly, because she is in such poor health, we have to board all three dogs.... Then we have the never ending drama with the grandkids and their addictions. They don’t have custody of their babies, of course, so when my spouse wants to see her great grandkids we have to arrange it with their other grandmothers who have custody. A friend suggested I try going to Al Anon meetings ( not sure how to spell) and I’m going to look more into this. The stress is just too much. The other day when we got the news about her granddaughter my spouse nearly lost it. I had to pick her up off the floor because she fell down crying and screaming. These kids don’t realize how bad their drug/alcohol addictions are tearing the families apart.

Playing in the sun; I wanna go buy a swim suit and some sunglasses.

We just had a team meeting at the local Panera and we sat outside.

I'm back at work and want to go back out and play.

I know ... I need to sit here, do my work, and be grateful I have a job that I like.

Still ... playing in the sun and having fun is what's on my mind.

It was soooooo worth it when I got up the courage recently to do something I've wanted to do for the last 8 year's (go to Hot Springs by myself for the first time and to Emerald Village to go camping by myself). It was actually empowering to step out of my box.
Make sure you and a person or persons of your choice download the Life360 app. It helped me tremendously on my recent travels. (And helped recover my stolen phone)

The shack across the street (in the back right by my driveway) seems to like having weeds and vines growing all over it. This has been going on for a few years now. The vines wrapped around utility lines and slowly were creeping in my direction.

High winds and heavy rain the past two days have now brought the vines down and right near my driveway. They look like TARZAN swings. :seeingstars: Naturally the shack that was cultivating these things, is not over here cleaning them up!!

So out I go with my pruning shears, (with every intention of dragging the TARZAN swings over to the shacks' property) and the utility lines are intertwined. I am not touching that:byebye:

My son's step grandmother. When my A/C went out she loaned me a fan. When she was recovering from hip surgery I loaned her my walker. I accidentally broke the fan. She kept the walker, transaction almost complete. Today, buried in the back room, I found the basket that goes with it – mission accomplished. She's really good to my sons, and though the years has been kind to me. It's difficult seeing her struggle, watching her health deteriorate. I hope when I die, rather than the process just dragging on and on it happens quick and sudden and I die instantly in my sleep.

Taking stock of my life has been on my mind today. Sure, there are dark parts that I wish weren't there.... liars/users/abusers/etc... but overall, I'm good.

I have a roof over my head, food in my belly and clothes on my back. Of course, it could be better. I could win the lottery or suddenly find myself in the midst of a windfall. That would be great but it's seriously highly unlikely to happen so I can't sit around and wait for it.

Instead, I've made a plan that will help me get myself where I want to be financially/physically/emotionally/etc in time. It will be a journey to get there, but like everything else in this world, the journey is what makes it what it is.

Also, I'm thinking about whether taking someone to court would matter in the scheme of things.

Some days, people are a giant pita. My new housekeeper cancelled the day before she was to start. Then the chiropractor made an adjustment booboo that necessitated a second trip. And then the USPS delivered my package to the wrong address.

I miss the days when people showed up as scheduled, did the work right the first time, and didnt make foolish errors.

I will never understand why people lie.

The whole push you away. Only to pull you back in and when they get caught. Their famous line is. It wasnt me. In fact. They gaslight. It was them. Its never me. I wouldnt do that because it is crazy

The lies we spin today are remembered in the futures of tomorrow. It's what you're doin in your tangled web. And I must say. Your past is damn ugly and twisted with all those lies. I dont know how you sleep at night with all these games.

Life is too short. Go out and enjoy peace. Enjoy nature. Look to the stars. Love unconditionally. You will be happier.

Right? Isn't that what they say?

I am wondering if the fact that my now ex partner and I were not able to make things work may be due, in part, to the fact that she does not perform gender in a masculine or butch way. She did have some qualities related to more butch type activities but she does not identify as butch. I very strongly identify as femme and find that the energy and balance of a butch femme relationship works so well for me. I enjoy even the small things like someone opening the door, helping me with heavy items, ordering both of our dinners at the restaurant, and the butch confidence and dominance within certain aspects of the relationship. I know everyone is different so this is just my thoughts about the matter. Thank you for reading my post.

I've been working on decluttering too. It feels like there needs to be some sort of 12 Step program around this because I'm finding it incredibly difficult to do. Well it's all done now... It's just I keep wanting to go back to certain boxes and retrieve stuff, I'm really having to white knuckle it to refrain from doing so. I watched this show once where some sort of psychic healer person was helping a woman declutter and they had to go over each piece and do this whole letting go ritual of saying goodbye to everything item by item. Oh and they had to thank the stuff they released/gave back to the universe too. One... item... at... a... time. Well I'm not Methuselah. I figure I've got maybe 30 good years left on this planet – I don't want to waste 10 of it on this crud. Nope I have to get rid of this stuff. Even then I'll still have all that stuff of mine in my son's storage unit to go through.

I'm doing the same thing. Some things aren't too hard to toss but there are some items that I am ridiculously attached to and they are not particularly meaningful---no particularly sentimental memories or events connected to it.

My connection to 'stuff' is stupid but I'm getting through it slowly. I just keep telling myself, "What is the worst that will happen if I donate/gift/trash this?" Most of the time, the answer is "I'll have to buy it again" which is silly when you think of my attachment to it.

The money's gone so I'm not 'saving' anything by keeping the item and I'm not considering getting rid of anything that I use regularly. Everything on the chopping block is stuff that I can't use at all or have not used in months or even years.

I totally understand what you are saying!

I was thinking about how more often than not the price we pay for things does not necessarily match the quality. However, I was also thinking it depends on the item being purchased. Like I pay a lot for my shoes and sneakers and they last me a long time. Then today I bought a new pair of earbuds w/ mic for $30 after sending back the $150 Beats pair that I had. I synced the new set in less than 5 minutes and the buds fit perfectly in my ears. Again paid less- and got better quality than paying more.

However, I shall also say it really does depend on what you are buying. I would not use a blanket statement and say ALL things high priced do not match in quality, etc.

It would be cool to have a thread where people could give examples like I did. It would be interesting to see what others think and what things they have purchased that fall in line on either side of the fence.

The electrician was here yesterday and for 100 bucks he relieved my mind that I do not have an electrical issue at my smoke detector. We came up with a solution to the battery issue by using a smoke detector that will be hard wired to the house with no backup battery (on order).

More than that I made friends with two local men. The electrician's helper seemed like an "old hippie" and I get along very well with old hippies.

Well worth 100 bucks.

I cannot stop thinking about those sheep we lost last night. My housemates buried them today while I was away from the farm and they asked if I wanted them to wait- but I told them no, it was hard enough seeing what I saw last night, I could not bring myself to help bury them today. Have you ever had your heart hurt so much that you can feel it in your throat? That is how I have felt since this happened.

Even more than that the fact that this person did not stop. We are on a country road so there are no cameras or anything that would have gotten a license plate or description of the vehicle. So basically, they got away with it. I am guessing they might have been under the influence and maybe that is why they did not stop. Or they just did not care.

I am a firm believer in karma, so what does not happen right away the Universe will take care of.

However, for now- I will mourn.

on my mind ...

three things I cannot locate after I moved two years ago ...

1. a really nice (expensive) set of cobalt drill bits

2. tool which measures and sets spark plug gaps

3. my best dick

And the measure/set gapper is such a nice one - it is not the coin looking type but the blade kind ... has feelers as well as gappers

I want to install fresh plugs in 2 chainsaws today. Plus one needs a new chain. Most times the gaps in new plugs are fine but since I cannot find my little set of blade gapper gizmos, this will likely be when I need it.

I have searched and searched for it. Woe is me! Well, I will pick up another one when I go into town tonight or tomorrow.

Actually, when I drill down into my thoughts a little deeper, I think I may be looking for an excuse to take a nap.

Nap??? Did I hear someone mention a nap? Excellent idea! Lights out!

The first two were likely together but the third one would have been in a military helmet bag along with similar but it was not.

Although, I must be honest ... I am not at all an organized packer/mover. And there are still some boxes in the third bedroom that I've not opened -->> maybe they are there. I have no idea what is in those boxes in the closet. I've been saving those to open when I need a surprise present. Maybe I will open them tomorrow - take a peek.

Thanks for your question. It made me remember those boxes.

BTW, I did get unlazy, the spark plugs are in and the chain is on the one that needed a replacement. All of it works fine. I cut a lot of 4" to 6" discs off logs I cut down months back. Great for stump burning ... burn a very long time!

I am concerned for a loved one who is going through a depressive episode. He is pushing people away, and it is really hard to watch.

I’ve been looking back on some other relationships/friendships and realize that those people may have been going through something similar, and I did not handle things as they should have been handled at the time. I didn’t fully understand what was going on or perhaps, even, I was just more selfish at those times.

It’s not something that you can just snap out of.

Hopefully going forward, I can be a better and more supportive friend.
