Still Summer here
We had a period of chilly weather and I could turn off the air conditioner and open windows. Of course that didn't last and with no rain we are back to stage 1 drought condition. I haven't been watering lawn for a long time any way.
Got up at 5 a.m. this morning so by 10 a.m. I fell asleep watching tv. I had put the towels in the washer, which reminds me time out to check the dryer. I did have pain med at midnight so that could account for falling asleep. I did manage to heat up leftovers for lunch. Once fully awake I put the dishes to soak and and headed to the Credit Union for some cash. This is the first time I ran out and don't really know why. $30 for cake $60 to remove shrub, $35 for Tina doing floors, $60 for grass cut, other wise where did it go? Only put gas in the car twice. So now I need to draw up another document on the computer. I've money on the credit card going out for medicine, that isn't included.
Wil and I went down to wash the car this afternoon. I carried rags to dry the windows when done. I need to instruct the grey cat not to get up on the car and leave footprints any more. lol
The political situation in this country has me really depressed. I won't go back to a group I was in because they think the covid virus is exaggerated by the media, tell that to the families of the sick and deceased. They don't approve of statins, which I take to control cholesterol. They are supporters of the president and see no wrong he has done, is doing. The list goes on. I've known the owner of the group for years but I've just reached that time where enough is enough.
Wednesday Kate will take Wil and I to the ophthalmologist. We will have our eyes dilated and I have never driven after that plus since the stroke I haven't driven that far. I don't even get to the cemetery now. I suppose he will tell me it is time to do something about Wil's cataracts and Carissa and I don't think it is a good idea. He doesn't drive any more. I should pray about that.
Thoughts just left me. Yeah I'm sleepy again.

Suddenly, it's cooler. We're turned on the heated mattress pad and have added a blanket. We haven't used the furnace, but we're wearing sweats and sweaters. I have to keep reminding myself it's almost November. I've even made hot cocoa and muffins. I hope you're warm and cozy.
CC that used to be the same with us. If I needed money when I wasn't working I would ask him for it. When I worked I can't remember how I handled my check now. Probably went into the bank if not cashed. I remember once opening an account in a different bank for it. That ended when I paid the mechanic a check on the wrong bank.
There may/probably will come a day; but, so far, I've never looked into my husband's wallet - not from the day we met in 1956. Nor has he looked in my wallet/purse/brief case. Just not our thing. My mother always "took care of" putting money and stuff in my dad's wallet, so I know that it is the way it is for some (very happily married) couples.
@fauquet: The cat I'm talking about is not mine it is a stray also known as feral. I can't have any animals that go under foot. I have no pets now.
Money flies like leaves in the wind,Bonnie
No the covid virus is not a joke. How many deceased ?Too many.
I did no remember you had cats . How many ?
Take care of you both,
Love
Michel
Thanks CC. Wil still will look in his wallet, I keep some dollars in there for him.
It is always better to have a designated driver when it comes to eye dilations, Bonnie. Well done.
I understand your, "enough is enough" comment. People our age don't need the aggravation of putting up with nonsense.
My husband counts his money each morning; but, I never got in the habit. I wouldn't know if I came up missing. See how much better you are than am I?
Hang in there.
