  • Time is flying to my birthday

    No cards for my birthday this year, not even a birthday cake. At 82 what did I expect?  Our anniversary is coming as well. Wil's niece may send a card for that but I'm not counting on it and does it really matter?

    Next week I am scheduled to get my drivers license renewed. When it comes time for Wil's renewal I will have to take him for an ID card as he doesn't drive any more. Since he doesn't vote any more I wonder if there is a purpose for him to have an ID card.

    Yesterday I spent time trying to get the release lever on the new Eureka stick broom. Customer service was no help at all, in fact when I asked to speak to some one else she hung up on me. The plastic holder for it didn't work on the wall either. Joe put it up and it moved a bit and I knew with the weight of the vacuum and battery it would pull out. Such short anchors and screws that came with it. So it just sits upright.

    I have a stick vacuum but plugging and unplugging every room made it hard on my back bending to plugs. So I figured buy a cordless. I hope that battery pack lasts a long time as I doubt they are cheap. Since I fired the floor lady I haven't found another, so that leaves it to me. My friend lost her cleaning lady and she can't find one either.  Pandemic has not helped. Thought I had someone but she wasn't vaccinated.  With the new Delta variant and the breaks in people like us that are vaccinated it leaves me to be careful.

    I've had some improvement in my back since the ablation, walking better. I still need a pain pill once in awhile but that is understandable with the arthritis etc. in the spine. So it may take me longer to sweep and mop floors but I'll get it done. Granted learning how to maneuver a bigger floor brush will take time. Meantime equipment with cords sits in closets.

    On another topic, Miss Kitty comes to eat every day. She stands far enough away as I put food out so she feels safe.  If I stopped feeding that would leave song birds to be preyed upon. I just wish the city required cats be like dogs are supposed to be, on your property or in your house.

  • @murisopsis: thanks, discharged from hospital early. ran out of church people to help with Wil and the VA had no response to my emergecncy.

  • A happy birthday early?? October is just around the corner and so is the wedding anniversary! I hope that you are recovering well and you feel better!!

  • Sue Oct. 11th isn't here yet. Nor the 15th. :-)

  • I'm late to the party but I hope you and Wil had a little cake celebration on your birthday:)

  • I heard it was bad weather in Texas , Bonnie .

    Love

  • Happy Birthday, blessings, and many returns. Buy a big slice of cake with thick frosting and enjoy. A virtual hug on your 82nd.

  • Sasha the floor lady was another story. With the cat hair from Carissa's constantly shedding cat I have to sweep and a broom isn't good enough, just creates more dust. I have a wet jet.

    Thanks CC.

  • @fauquet: Thanks Miquel I never liked champagne but I doubt I could taste it now. :-) I may tuck out to the store and buy a little cake.

  • Happy Birth, B. Why did you fire your floor person? You might want to get a Swiffer Wet Jet. They look easier to use. Or are you trying to vacuum? I think I may have missed an update!

  • Happy Birthday, Bonnie. I wish life were simpler and easier for you, and understand your wish to be there for Wil. (I'm the same with my husband.)

  • Happy birthday , Bonnie .
    My wife Janine has the same age as you.
    And soon your wedding anniversary . Please open a bottle of Champagne for this time .
    Love
    Michel

  • Thanks for the wishes. Rosemary to be quite honest I never figured I'd live this long when I was younger. Now I just pray I will be the last one here as who will care for Wil?

  • Bonnie, wishing you a peaceful year ahead - you have been through so much. My 82nd in a couple of weeks. Where did all those years go to. Happy memories though Take care of yourself and don’t hurt yourself doing those floors.

  • For your birthday, I wish you a year full of health and happiness. And I hope all your wishes come true.
