Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
She says her taste has finally come back after having Covid.
I’m sure there will be plenty of leftovers. She wants to order all of her favorite dishes but I know we won’t be able to eat them all.
We usually eat on leftovers for two days afterwards!
Have a good time learning about pastries tomorrow~Hope it goes good!
yes: the people who think there is free help. I feel so sorry for them because they find out too late and they are in a permanent pickle going forward. I realize that many many people live paycheck-to-paycheck but people mostly avoid thinking about a plan for their aging until there's a crisis. That's why in many of my responses I go on and on about PoA and guardianship whether they ask about it or not -- because people don't have a clue about any of that and it also creates a big pickle. But if we're talking about "peeves" here...mine is when people somehow "find" this forum but then ask for information that they can easily find themselves just by doing the same kind of search.
AARP has a plan with Delta Dental, if I remember correctly. My father and I both enrolled and did get some savings off basic procedures. As the years pass, Delta increases the coverage.
Some community colleges with dental programs also offer cheaper rates for standard procedures.
I have BCBSM Medigap coverage, which now has expanded to include some dental procedures. I need to spend some time outlining what it has vs. what Delta offers to determine which is best; that's what I did over a decade ago when we were making decisions which plan to purchase.
I'm just taking it a day at a time, focusing on school and work.
I went to water my plants in the front room today and N started yelling out from behind her adjacent bedroom door. She thought I was doing something? Listening at her door? lol I have no idea. I was just watering plants. It's a nightmare... but at least I'm getting video evidence of her manipulation, lying, and drug-related behavior.
She told my downstairs neighbor that I'm spying on her in her room. I'm not too concerned about the stupid accusations because I've lived here 3 years with L downstairs, and L and I get along fine. N has been here 2 months and is always on the front porch smoking and acting loony. Who would you believe, who would anyone believe?
But I'm starting to realize how set N is on manipulating things to where she is the victim and she gets whatever it is she wants.
I'm still waiting to talk to an attorney about the possibility of getting a restraining order. I hope I can speak to someone this week and get input about that.
My friend V says that everything N is doing is a set up, a trap, to get to stay here. I really don't know what to think. V called it "predatory druggie behavior" and said I was not equipped to deal with it because I'm too nice. I'm scared to think that V may have a point. Either way, I will have evidence that I need to show the full scope of erratic behavior.
The reason I gave her notice was because twice in one night, at 2am and 5 am, she had left the kettle on the stove unattended. The second time, it boiled dry for so long that handle melted onto the stove and the smoke detector went off. She passes out when she's smoking or cooking, so I think that's a danger, too.
A friend is helping me figure out any legal recourse. I hope to talk to some local attorneys this week to see if they can possibly help me in this situation.
Today, I need to prep for the final exam in another class and finish any small tasks and I will be DONE for this term. Another one in the books.
I'm grateful I'm on track, despite the problems at home.
Bridger, I took a drive from Chicago out to the southern Atlantic coast last May. I had never seen that part of the country and just wanted to escape for a bit. It was during high covid alerts so I took all precautions and couldn't go to many of the beaches I wanted to see, but it was still nice and relaxing. Sounds like a very nice way to spend a spring day!
Yay! That’s fantastic!!!
Bridger.
Sounds like a wonderful trip!
You must let us know when you have completed all of your courses.
We are pulling for you. You’re doing great!
When we had lockdown I let my husband cut my hair. He actually did a pretty good job.
He asked me to cut his. I told him that I would not be able to do a good job. He refused to believe me. His mistake! 😆
