Saturday and A Restful Night

I slept very well last night and as usual was up early, made my bed and dressed and got myself ready for the day. I will do some laundry this morning. I have enough in the basket for a small load....mostly towels and underwear. My allergies are going crazy again this morning. All I can do is sneeze and blow my nose. I am eating my breakfast here in the den as usual.

I will do the laundry and  water the flowerbeds and feed the cats as usual...same old routine....and read, of course. 

More later.....I want to get the laundry going now.

O.K. The laundry is going now and it's nearly 5:30AM. It's too early for the cats to be out there and too early for anything else. I will water the flowerbeds when it gets light.

Now I will go see what the news is like. All day yesterday and the day before was all about the life and death of Queen Elizabeth of England. ...on every channel.

I caught the weather forecast for the next week on the weather channel.

Today will be 90 degrees and. mostly sunny, Sunday is to be 81 degrees and sunny, Monday the forecast is for 86 degrees and sunny, Tuesday 91 degrees and sunny, Wednesday's forecast is to be 92 degrees and sunny, Thursday is to be 91 degrees and mostly cloudy, and Friday is forecast for 98 degrees and sunny.

The day to day forecast for tomorrow showed some AM rain...90% chance but the entire week's forecast did not show that rain at all...strange..I guess we will just have to wait and see which is correct.   

It's a little  early for the cats to be out there.

It's 6:34AM now and when I opened the door, I found Blondie waiting for his breakfast. It wasn't even light out yet and Scruff is nowhere to be seen yet. I took the cat food out for him and he is eating hungrily.  But he's gone now so I brought the  cat food back in the kitchen. I will wait to see if Scruff ever does  come this morning.

I folded out the clean and dry towels and underwear. Then I put everything away. 

Then I watered the flowerbeds.

Next I decided to do my walk at 7:30AM while it was cooler and I decided to walk eight blocks instead of six. When I stepped out the front door Scruff was there looking for her breakfast. I took it out to her and left on my walk.

I managed that just fine. I walked up to the post office and west.. over to the library, turned south on State and walked to 8th. There I live on the corner. I got back at 7:50. That was a pretty nice walk and I will do that for three or four weeks before I make it even longer. I would like to get back up to a mile or two eventually like I did when I lived on Catalina in Coffeyville. ..

I have been reading again. Now I am cooking a Smart TV dinner, meatloaf and mashed potatoes for 3 minutes, in the microwave. I stirred it and put it back in the microwave for another 2 minutes. When it cools enough, I will eat it. It's supposed to set for 1 to 2 minutes in the microwave.

I am not crazy about TV dinners but on the other hand, I don't want to try to cook for one person either. Karan does that and she eats the same thing for days. I don't think I could do that.   

More even later.

I had intended to let the mailman pick up John's birthday card today but I missed him. Before I went to the post office drop box with it. I realized I was too late for the afternoon mail.  So I took it with me to give to him at their home. I wanted him to have it on Wednesday, which is his birthday.

So I decided to go by Leslie's and see if she is home and if so, I will see if she would like to go with me to the Dairy Queen for a blizzard. I didn't see any sign of them there so I was just going to go on up by myself. As I passed their house, my phone rang and she asked me "Did you just go by our house?" I told her "yes", but I didn't see any sign of them so I was just going to go up to the Dairy Queen by myself and I told her what I was thinking and she said they were there and saw me go by. So I turned around and went back and visited them awhile. John had bought a small camper to fit on the back of their pickup and had been redoing it this past week in his spare time and had it looking pretty good. He had ordered a new mattress for it, new cushions for the bench and had fitted it with a frig and freezer and put new carpet down on the bench. It looks pretty nice. They have a large camper but it takes a lot of gas to pull it behind his truck to just go fishing. This will be perfect for that.

After we looked that over, Leslie and I decided to go get all of us the blizzards at the Dairy Queen. We took  Kiki and Mini too because Dairy Queen gives any dogs a puppy cup and Kiki and Mini love Dairy Queen in a puppy cup. The boy at the window at the Dairy Queen just loves Corgis and he made a big fuss over them.

As we were leaving their drive through, Leslie stopped and got out of the car and went over by the curb and picked up something. When she got back in the car she showed me $19.00 in bills that she found by the curb. 

As we drove back to their house, the dogs ate their Dairy Queen from the drink cups in the two arm rests in the back seat. Those dogs are so cute and so nice.

My son-in-law and daughter raise Corgis.

More later..

It's 7:42 now and I have just taken my bath and put my pajamas on and my duster. I will read until 9:00PM and then plan to go to bed. I was up very early this morning again and perhaps I can read until I get sleepy. That's what I plan anyhow.

Friday and A New Day

I woke up at 4:00AM again to the sound of another spam message coming on my phone. Again, I did not open it and just deleted it. Then when I came into the den to check my e-mail the laptop computer was frozen solid. I had to do a hard reboot and when it came back up, it was unfrozen. This laptop computer is still running Windows 7. It is very old and used to belong to Scott. He gave it to me when he got a better one. Keith worked it over for Bob Avery and when Bob had to give up the internet he gave it back to me and Keith worked it over again and sent it back to me. So I'm not surprised that it's struggling to stay viable. 

It's almost 5:00AM and I had a very good night's sleep. 

I am only up now because of the noise the spam made when it hit my phone. But I am well rested.

I guess I will dress and get ready for the day. 

So More Later...

I made my bed and got myself dressed and ready for the day. The only thing I have to do today is go up the the Caney Museum and give Gina my new debit card number. For some strange reason they still have the one I had stolen on their file.I donate $5.00 a month to their museum and when they went to get it donated for this month, they used the wrong number,,,the one for the old card and I had had that one cancelled. So they notified me about it. I thought Gina had got that one changed to the new one when I gave it to her to use for last month. I guess not. Anyhow, sometime after 9:00AM I will meet her up there and give it to her again. I will ask her to wait until Wednesday to use it.

I am eating my oatmeal now and having my morning coffee....actually cappuccino right now. When Keith and Esther were here over Memorial Day weekend, Esther bought me a variety of pods for my Keurig. When I ran out of the ones I had in my rack, I started using the ones she gave me. That gave me  a great variety. I especially like the cappuccino. And I also use the ones Leslie gives me for Chai.

I have been blowing my nose all morning. This time of year, my allergies just go crazy. I am allergic to Fall. In fact, I am allergic to Spring too.I have a whole set of different allergies for that time of year.

Years ago, when I lived in Bartlesville my mom took me to Oklahoma City to the allergy clinic there and they did the needle thing and discovered what I am allergic to. They sent me the shots for a year but I couldn't see that they did any good so I quit taking them after about a year. I am allergic to milk, house dust, oak tree pollen, Bermuda grass, cigarette smoke (and my mom was a heavy smoker and she continued to smoke all the way back from Oklahoma City) and just about everything in this part of the country. How does anyone stay away from house dust? I do drink almond milk though. That seems to help some.

Anyway, enough about that. More Later.. 

I will go check "the weather on the 8's" forecast and the cat situation.

So far..no weather forecast and no cats either. Of course it's only 6:01AM.

It's 6:10AM now. I am hoping the weather forecast will be next.

It was next. Today's forecast is for 92 degrees and sunny, Saturday is to be 89 degrees and mostly sunny, Sunday is to be 89 degrees and partly cloudy, Monday is to be 85 degrees and sunny, Tuesday is  to be 90 degrees and sunny, Wednesday is to be 92 degrees and sunny, Thursday is to be 92 degrees and mostly sunny. Again, no rain in the forecast.

I will check for the cats again now.

No cats yet! More Later... 

Blondie came by himself this morning and I fed him. I didn't see a thing of Scruff. Finally though, after I had taken the food back in the garage and covered it, she came to eat breakfast. So I brought it out again and she ate. After she quit eating I put it back in the garage. I left it in the garage. She is going to have to stay and eat her fill at one time. I am not going to be taking it back and forth. In fact, I closed the front door so she would know she has to eat her fill all at one time just like Blondie does.

I am watching the CBS news now.  Back Later....

I took my half mile walk again this morning. Maybe next time I will walk to the post office and over to the library and then back home. That would be from 8th to 5th and from Spring to State and back. I may do that. That would be 8 blocks.

More later...I need to go water the flowerbeds.

I got the flowerbeds watered and then I noticed it was past time to meet Gina at the museum. So I went up there and she did her best to get my new debit card in the program so my monthly donation would come out automatically. We hope that works.

I got a wonderful surprise in a "thinking of you" card today. I think it was one of my blog readers.

I am going to warm up the half hamburger and french fires I bought out at Eggbert's yesterday. It was way too much for one meal but it gives me a meal for today. It's 11:28 AM now 

The new debit card worked! It took my $5.00 monthly donation to the museum.

It's 6:11PM now and I ate my leftovers from yesterday's dinner for today's supper. 

It's 6:12PM now and at 7:00PM I will take my bath and read until my bedtime at 9:00PM.

Thursday and Apartment Cleaning

A spam call came through on my phone at 1:30AM this morning and woke me up.  I deleted it and attempted to get back to sleep. I even got up and took three Melatonin tablets but nothing helped. I was wide awake. Finally I just got up and went to check my bank balance. It was still alright thanks to Stephen agreeing to hold my rent check until the 15th. I should not have attempted to pay bills that were not even due yet. My Evergy bill of $144.26 is also dated 9/14 and I hope they don't deposit it before it's due like the City of Caney did. I have learned a lesson from this experience. I did not want those two bills to be paid late, so I sent them in by mail with the check dated when I would have my social security in the bank since Leslie and I would be gone when they came due. I never dreamed they would process them before the date on the check. So far, Evergy hasn't.  

Due to ignorance, I cause myself a lot of grief and loss of sleep. It's 5:23AM now. I will make my breakfast next.

I am having my breakfast here in the den as usual. Later on this morning I will do my mopping and while it's drying I may go do my trimming. I also need to trim the hedge again. I have to do that almost weekly. It grows so fast.

And I want to take my half mile walk this morning too. I missed it yesterday. I had such a busy day. I have to do it in the early morning before it gets hot. Perhaps next week I can add another couple of blocks to it. I am supposed to work up to a mile and then two....gradually. I can already tell the difference.

More later ...I want to go catch "the weather on the 8's"  

I finally caught the weather forecast.Today is forecast for 91degrees and sunny, Friday is to be 93 degrees  and sunny, Saturday 92 degrees and sunny, Sunday is to be 81 degrees and AM clouds and PM sun, Monday 84 degrees and sunny, Tuesday 90 degrees and sunny and Wednesday 93 degrees and sunny. It seems they took the rain out of yesterday's next Sunday forecast.

I'd better check on the cats now. It's 6:30AM.

No cats yet!! 

The cats finally came and I fed them. When they finally left, I put the cat food back in the garage  and it will stay there now until tonight...if they come for supper.

I got all the floors mopped and the throw rugs are in the dryer on the "fresh air" setting. After the floors are dry I will vacuum the carpets but while I am waiting for that, I will trim the hedge....again. Then I may trim around the yard too. 

So More Later... 

I got the hedge trimmed. I will need to wait awhile to do the yard trimming.  

I called Evergy about not depositing my check until the date I put on it and the woman I talked to said they process all payments when they get them without checking the dates and there are thousands of them and they are handled by a machine..unless it's a late payment and then they add a penalty. I explained to her that the reason I sent it in early was so that I wouldn't have to pay a penalty because my daughter and I would be out of town for three days. I dated the check on the 15th because I would be sure to have my social security in there on the 14th. So you're darned if you do and your darned if you don't. She said she would put a note on my account but she couldn't guarantee that would work.

Whatever...I will go trim the yard now and then come in and vacuum the apartment.

I got almost all the yard trimmed before the battery went down on the trimmer. I still have the west side next to the house and will get that when the trimmer is charged.

In the meantime I will drink some water and take my walk. After that I will read some more. It's only 72 degrees so that may be cool enough for my walk.

More later... 

I got my half mile walk taken and I am tired.  I will drink some water and read for awhile and vacuum later.

I did get the hedge trimmed and it looks much better.

I read until I finished that book and the Kindle needed charging again. So both the trimmer and the Kindle are charging now.

I may go out to Eggbert's and eat lunch. I had taken money out of the bank yesterday to pay for my color and cut but Toni would not let me pay for it. She said God had blessed her and she was going to share her blessing with me. That is so sweet. And at Bunco yesterday I won "the most Buncos" and that paid $10.00. so I am not completely broke.

I did go out to Eggbert's and had a hamburger and french fries and a sweet tea. That hit the spot. I spent the money I made playing Bunco on it. I brought half of it home in a box...for tomorrow. I will warm it up in the skillet.

I vacuumed the bedroom, the hall and the den. Now I am resting for awhile before vacuuming the living room and dining room..

It's 4:58PM now and I have finished vacuuming the apartment and finished the trimming. I also read for awhile in my Kindle. My trimmer came apart as I was trimming and I had a time getting it fixed but I managed somehow.

Always something... I still need to dust. 

I got the dusting finished and  it is 7:19PM.I am going to take my bath and put my pajamas on and my duster and read some more before I go to bed.

.More even later.....

I have been reading after my bath but I have been up way too long and need to go to bed and hopefully to sleep

Tomorrow is Friday and I don't have a plan for anything much. I am going to go on to bed now.It is 8:34PM

Wednesday and Bunco

I slept well until about 4:30AM and then I simply could not get back to sleep after getting back to bed after I got up to take my meds. After tossing and turning for 45 minutes, I finally just got up. 

I paid my Chase bill which was due. It was the renewal of my Amazon Prime and the new subscription charge for using my Kindle. Between the two of them the charge was $148.99. $139.00 of it was my Amazon Prime. That started out costing me $99.00 when I first signed up for it years ago but like everything else connected to Cox, they have kept raising the fee. Last year it was $119.00. And I have never been charged anything for using my Kindle since I only read the free books and seldom ever buy one for the Kindle. They charged me $9.99 for an annual fee. Having Amazon Prime is the way I can download movies from their site and watch TV specials since I only have the very basic TV package and it also takes care of any service calls I might have for the TV. I never have to pay anything extra for a service call. I have had to have them out several times since I have lived here because Caney has a terrible  signal and I often have a tearing picture or some other problem due to their terrible signal here in Caney.

Always something!

I will stop by the church and pick up those bulletins from Sunday and put them in the letters and get the letters in the mail to those who were not at church on Sunday.

Then I will go to the bank and get the money for my hair this morning. I will get my hair done at Toni's at 9:30AM. Then after that, I will stop at Dollar General there and buy some contact cleaner. I forgot that when I went to Dollar General here in Caney yesterday.  Then, last of all, I will go to the library and read my Kindle until time to go to Bunco at the senior center at 1:00PM.

I went in the living room to watch the weather and check on the cats. Sure enough they were both there waiting for me to see them and feed them.

Here is the weather forecast for the next week:

Today is to be 91 degrees and sunny, Tomorrow 90 degrees and sunny, Friday is to be 91 degrees and sunny Saturday is to be 92 degrees and mostly sunny, Sunday is to be 79 degrees and AM showers, Monday is to be 83 degrees and mostly sunny, Tuesday is to be 87 degrees and mostly sunny. It looks like Sunday is the only day we even have a chance for any rain.

The cats came back again for more breakfast. I took the food out for them again and they ate a little more but have left again.I am not playing that game.They are going to have to learn to eat what they want while the food is out there.

It's 7:01 now...I will leave about 8:00AM since I am planning to go up to the church and get those bulletins to put in with the letters. And I also have to stop by the bank to withdraw some cash for my hair.

More Even Later.....

I went on up to the Church and got those bulletins and got the letters in the mail. Then I went to my hair appointment and after that to the senior center to read.

At 1:00 the Bunco folks came and we played Bunco until 2:30PM.Then I came on back home.

I am not up to mowing the west yard this evening. It's too hot. 

I checked my bank account to balance it and I had written a check for $92.15 for the City of Caney that was dated for September 15th and not due until the 17th and sent it on to them because Leslie and I am going to be gone on September 15th through the 17th to Independence Missouri . I never dreamed the bank would accept it before then and I never dreamed the City of Caney would deposit it before September 15th. That's a mess for sure. All those payments I made to pay off my car's starter bill and the tire bill are coming through and that one was not supposed to be deposited until September 15th. By then I would have had my social security in the bank on the 14th.

I called my landlord because I noticed he had not deposited my rent check yet and asked him if he would hold it until the 15th so I would not be overdrawn. He graciously agreed to hold on to it until the15th. That will save the day for me and keep me from being overdrawn. I have never been overdrawn.

I was so embarrassed  to have to ask him that.

More Later... 

After Stephen took care of my immediate concern, I decided to go ahead and mow that west yard after all. It was into the 80's but that was nothing like trying to mow in the 90's. I couldn't do that. All I need to do now is trim. I can do that tomorrow evening.

It's 7:14PM now and I will take my bath and get my pajamas and duster on and read in my latest Kindle book until bedtime.

Perhaps more later...

I am going to bed...it's 9:00PM and I have had a very stressful day. I will clean the apartment tomorrow and trim the yard too.

What a day!

Tuesday and the Deposit

I slept well last night and was up at 4:30AM to check the bank site to see if Keith and Esther's deposit had come in...and it had. Thanks goodness! Now I can pay off my bills...the tires and the new starter bill and that huge electric bill.  I will put the electric bill in the mail and the City of Caney bill in their drop box at City Hall. I am so thankful for the kids' generosity! Leslie had volunteered to make the payments on my tires but with that deposit I will pay off those tires. But I have some amazing kids and their mates!

I want to get stamps as soon as the post office opens so I can send off that electric bill and later the letters I wrote yesterday to those who were not at church on Sunday. I will hold off on sending those until I drop by the church tomorrow morning and pick up those bulletins to include in the letters. I forgot to get them when I left church on Sunday.

I will go by Josh's garage as soon as he opens and before I leave for Bartlesville and pay off the bill for the new starter. 

I will go visit Nancy today after I pay off those tires at Tate boys and we will go to lunch afterwards. 

I will need to go to the market and buy groceries and drinking water this morning. I drank the last bottle last evening. I never drink Caney's water. They leave some bad chemicals in it. Every year I get a letter telling me the water has those chemicals in it.

While I am in Bartlesville this morning I will buy gas for my car. It is not empty yet but I am getting low.

I am out of oatmeal, my usual breakfast, so I am having a breakfast bar and a cappuccino for breakfast. When I get home this afternoon, I will go to the Caney market and buy groceries. I am out of nearly everything.

It's 6:19AM now and I will go check and see if the cats are out there and check out the weather forecast too.

 More later...

It's 6:42AM now and no cats yet and no weather forecast yet either. It is getting light out there so maybe it won't be long. 

The weather came on first and then I saw Blondie out there waiting  for his breakfast but Scruff wasn't there. I took the cat food out to Blondie and when I turned around to go back in the house, Scruff came to eat too. She always wants to eat where Blondie is eating and she tries to nudge him out of her way. Sometimes that works but sometimes he slaps her with his paw. Right now he is being nice to her.

The weather forecast is next. Today is to be 92 degrees and sunny, Wednesday is to be 91degrees and sunny, Thursday is to be 90 degrees and sunny, Friday is to be 91 degrees and sunny, Saturday is to be 92 degrees and sunny, Sunday is to be 81 degrees and partly cloudy and Monday is to be 83 degrees and sunny. That's it! Another week without any moisture.

The cats are gone now.They may have finished and I will need to get the cat food in and away from any ants that's may find it.

The front yard looks so much better since I mowed it last evening. I hope to get the back yard mowed this evening after it cools down.

More Later.... 

As soon as everything was open, I went to the Caney Market and bought everything on my grocery list. I hadn't bought grocerys for several weeks so when I bought everything on my grocery list it came to $62.74...the most I had paid for grocerys in ages. Of course, I have been getting by with lots of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. :)

I stopped at the post office and bought stamps and then went to Main Street Auto Repair and paid the bill for my starter. 

While I was at Tate Boys in Bartlesville to pay off the tire bill, they told me that did not take any payments there and I would either have to pay online or on the telephone so I went out to my car and called the credit company that handles their accounts and paid it that way. Now everything is up to date.

Stephen hasn't yet deposited my rent check but it is covered and has always been covered for this month. 

I am going to go watch the news now. I will get back to this later.

I watched the news and then went out to try to clean up that mower. I did get some of the dirt and grime off it but without spending some big time cleaning on it, it's possible it's a waste of time. I did shampoo the floor mats for the car and although they didn't come out perfect they are a lot cleaner then they were.

Anyhow, after  awhile it began to get dark and less hot. So I took the mower out back and mowed the back yard. That leaves the west side which is not terribly bad yet. I will probably try to get it done either Thursday evening or Friday evening...depends on the temperature. According to my phone it's 72 degrees now which is probably why I was able to mow this evening. I got it finished just before it got dark. I will need to do some trimming yet and need to trim the hedge again too but I have the rest of the week to get all that done.

It's 8:13PM now and I will take my bath and put my pajamas on and read awhile.It's been a very busy day. I am still amazed that I had been able to lift that bag of clippings into the trash receptacle. It must be the half mile walking I have been doing and the loss of the 12 pounds that helped.

This is the second week I have mowed my own yard. Of course, I still have the west side to do. It's the largest. But if worse comes to worse, I can do it in two evenings. But last week I planned to do it that way and was able to just keep mowing until I got it all done in one evening.

Perhaps more later....

Monday and Labor Day and Mowing

It's 3:00AM and I have been awake for two hours. I simply could not get back to sleep after waking up at 1:00AM. My mind would not turn off. I was concerned about the deposit that has not been downloaded into my checking account at my bank because of the holiday weekend. I know there's nothing I can do about it but that doesn't help. I will be so glad when tomorrow comes and I can pay my bills and get this off of my mind.

More later. I know it won't do any good to go back to bed to just toss and turn another two hours so I may as well just get up and read. 

After I read awhile, I got myself ready for the day.

I stripped my bed and did a load of laundry this morning. I have put it in the dryer now. I remade the bed and am eating a breakfast bar now. I also put a waffle in the toaster and put syrup on it. I am out of oleo for it. Too many peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, I guess. I took a couple of bites of it and threw the rest away. I am full enough.

It's almost 7:00AM now and I need to go watch the weather and check on the cats. 

Both cats were there looking for me to bring out their food so I did that and they dug in. Blondie is pretty much finished but Scruff was still out there eating after he finished but I think she is finished now, I believe. I will put the cat food back in the garage so the ants won't find it and get into it.

I caught the weather soon after. Today is supposed to be 89 degrees and mostly sunny. Tuesday is supposed to be 91 degrees and sunny. Wednesday is forecast for 92 degrees and sunny. Thursday's forecast is for 90 degrees and sunny, Friday 91 degrees and sunny, Saturday 90 degrees and mostly sunny and Sunday 85 degrees and sunny. Again..no rain in the forecast. 

 More later..

It's a little after 9:00AM and only 74 degrees outside. I think this would be a good time to take my half mile walk.

I did take my half mile walk and then when I got back home, I got my Kindle, which had been charging, and read until almost noon. Then I watered the flowers in the front flowerbed and fixed myself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I will need to get more peanut butter when I get that deposit.

I probably need to water the flowers in the back flowerbed too. It's pretty sunny out there. And it's almost noon now.

It's 12:54 PM now and I did water those flowers in the back yard flowerbed. They really needed the water. As long as I water the flowers morning and night, both back and front, they continue to bloom after a fashion. The mums are budded now. They ...probably won't bloom until later this fall.

It's 5:31PM now and I just mowed the front yard. I am tired and thirsty but it's not terribly hot and this was my opportunity to get it mowed myself.  Tomorrow if it's this nice, I will mow the back yard. The news is on now so I will get back to this later..perhaps after my bath.

So Even More Later.

The doorbell rang while I was closing the blinds this evening and I answered it to Carla Lewis, one of the people who rented the other side of the duplex  when Steve and Suzanne owned it. She was interested in renting the side Stephen and Dee Anna stay in when they are staying over here to visit their grandchildren. I told her Stephen had told me they intended to use it themselves when they needed a place for company or even for themselves. They are usually here a day or two every week or so. But she asked me for their phone number so she could try to convince Stephen to rent it to her.

I really don't think she will be able to convince them of that, but I gave her Stephen's phone number.

I took my bath at 6:15PM because I was up so early this morning. I doubt I will stay up late this evening. 

I will read until I get tired and then go to bed. Mowing wore me out this evening. I am glad I didn't try to mow the back too. If it's as nice tomorrow evening, I will mow the back then. Then perhaps on Thursday or Friday evening I may do the west side again if it needs it by then again.

It's 6:50PM now. I will go read awhile again.

Sunday and Church

I had another good night's sleep last night and was up at the usual 5:00AM. I made my bed and got dressed for church. I also logged onto my bank account on the tiny chance the deposit Keith and Esther sent me would be in there. Of course, it wasn't so it will be Tuesday before their deposit will be there. In the meantime I am just hanging in there with the $20.00 I have in my purse. It's disgusting! They sent that deposit on their noon hour on Friday. I assumed it would be there at the bank Friday evening or on Saturday morning but it wasn't. I paid the rent earlier, but I haven't been able to send off any of my other payments though...the one for my tires and the one for the bill for my new starter and I won't be able to do that until the holiday is over and Tuesday the bank is open again and their deposit comes through. What a mess this has been. The bank was closed on Saturday and of course it will be closed on Monday too.

I watched the Ohio State/Notre Dame football game last night, I thought Ohio State was going to lose for the first three quarters. And they were second in the nation but they just weren't up to their usual  game, Then the last quarter, they got their game together and finally won. It was late when that happened so I went to bed later then usual. But I slept well.

More later..I am going to go make my breakfast and then check on the weather and the cats.

I ate my breakfast and then went in the living room and caught "the weather on the 8's" and the cats. I fed them first and then got back in the house just in time to catch the weather.

Today is to be 88 degrees and mostly sunny, Monday is forecast to be 90 degrees and mostly sunny, Tuesday is to be 91 degrees and mostly sunny, Wednesday is to be 91 degrees and mostly sunny, Thursday is to be 90 degrees and sunny, Friday 91 degrees and mostly sunny, and Saturday is to be 80 degrees and mostly sunny...no rain next week either...just hot weather and allergies. 

The cats are finished eating now and gone so I will get that cat food back in the garage.

After church, John and Leslie and Karan went to Sam's for fish. I had just had fish on Monday when I had Nancy with me in Bartlesville so Phyllis and I went to "Just Us" in Cherryvale and had a fine buffet lunch with cherry pie with ice cream for dessert.  They had raised their price to $13.00 from $12.00. Kay said the cost of groceries was the reason. I understood that!

More Later...I want to change my clothes and get out of my church clothes. Then I may take my walk..depending on the temperature.  I usually take it early morning before it gets hot. If it's too hot, I will read my book.

I need to get a few groceries but I need to wait until the kids' deposit comes through. I just need my oatmeal and juice and a few cheap frozen meals but again, I need to wait for their deposit. I don't want to accidentally overdraw. I have some frozen waffles I can have for breakfast. I also will need gas soon. For that same reason, I am going to try to wait until Tuesday to go see Nancy too. After my rent check is cashed and today's meal, I will only have $31.21 in the bank and that $20.00 in cash until Tuesday. When that deposit comes through, I want to pay for my starter before I go see Nancy. Then I want to stop by Tate Boys  there in Bartlesville and see if I can pay off my tires to them. I will also drop the envelope with my City of Caney bill for water and trash collection and my check in the drop box at City Hall.

It's 85 degrees out there and pretty sticky. I guess I will wait until evening to take my walk. It's 3:30PM now.

I will take my walk now and read later...

More Later...

I took my half mile walk after all. It wasn't as hot as I thought with lower humidity. It's 4:36 PM now.

At 6:00PM I watched the church service of our Mission Center..on Zoom. It is held in Springfield Missouri every Sunday evening at 6:00PM. It is almost 7:00PM now and I will go take my bath.

I will watch 60 Minutes since I recorded it.  And will go to bed shortly after it's over.
