The AC is once again working in my car and the repair didn't cost me an arm and a leg!!!

Soft*Silver · 08-01-2013, 10:49 PM

Second call...he was alert and talking like Jo. While we talked they gave him his meds....and he began to talk slower, more slurry..lol...silly butch buddy..I love him so.. it brought me joy that he is ok, healing, and sharing laughter with me again...

I took the exam to add 4th through 6th grade certification to mine (which is 7th through 12th), and I am 90% sure I nailed it. It just means more options to watch for, in one of my favorite age groups.

Watching twin spots play beside the refuge driveway, and on the edge of the woods and then into a field. Never did see Mom anywhere, and one of the spots limped on the front foot a little. They are so cute and so amazing to watch.

some of my BFP friends purchased a couple of photos from my site!

How awesome is that?!?!

Miss Scarlett · 08-05-2013, 09:02 PM

Unexpected texts and phone calls...

My best joy was actually yesterday. I went to see Keith Urban in concert. What a great time! He was accompanied by Justin Lynch and Little Big Town.
Great night out on the hill (it was an outdoor concert) at DTE!

oh, and btw the hill is where the craziest partyers go..lol.
lots of dancing, singing and all around great fun

Hollylane · 08-05-2013, 10:26 PM

Not having to use a tissue, or sneeze all day long...I am feeling a little better today, and that is giving me more than a little bit of joy

I have to admit that I am also enjoying Gaige's gentle reminders about taking my meds and getting some rest...

Waking to beauty, Damon and our Kiddo!
Gawd, I am SO blessed!

Going to pick up local blueberries from the sweetest, generous, gentle natured retired couple who delighted me with their stories and how they treated me as if they'd known me forever ...such a welcoming, warm couple

love their blueberries and he surprised me with a whole gallon of fresh pink eyed peas right from his garden...good people

A trip to an old fashioned bakery

chatting with my best friend and making plans

Hollylane · 08-06-2013, 10:02 PM

Logging out of the phones at the end of the day....Ahhhh...

NorCalStud · 08-07-2013, 01:19 AM

Hearing two of my best friends talk about how happy I look.

Walking among ginormous redwoods hand in hand with gaea and our doggies.

Watching gaea sing along to Melissa Etheridge's song " Mercy" to me while driving up the 101....(her eyes)

Late nite Enchiladas, Coronas, and flan before finally heading home to bed

Bed

Her in my bed

A tiny, starving, brown, bat, who is on the endangered species list here in Indiana, is now gorging itself on that moist cat food that looks like worms. It was almost dead, could'nt fly, and I did'nt know what else to feed it until I can get more help. It seems happier now though

Soon · 08-07-2013, 08:25 PM

a thank you call from my brother for making and dropping off some quinoa salad...he said it was as good as the one we had at a cafe earlier this week!

I called at 4pm (an hour before they close), they said they are just so busy during the summer, that the mechanic had just gotten to my car at 4pm to run diagnostics, and that they may have an answer in the morning. !#(@#@)@!!!!!

So...after posting this in the "pissed off thread" last week, today, I went to my regular mechanic, for the things that these jerks missed on their "bumper to bumper check"...I still had a wheel hub that needed replacing (some of the bearings were literally broken, and this problem could have caused an accident), an oil sensor that was bad, and I needed an oil change.

The price (another $400+, after just having spent $500+) did not bring me joy, but I know these guys earn it, and charge minimal labor fees. What did bring me joy, is that I popped in without an appointment, asked them to take a look, they took a look, gave me an estimate, gave water and pets to my dog, and completed the work within 2 hours. I will never go to the "other guys" again. Ever.

I'm glad I popped in. These repairs mean that I will have a safe trip up to Timothy Lake this weekend (a 3000+ elevation gain), and a safe trip over to Astoria next week.
