camera lore

 Well I have rethought the plan to sell this home and buy a new mobile home, and I have concluded I need to follow my original plan.  I cannot live in this one room for another 8 or or so years and have the same mental capacity I have now ).

I have been searching for two cameras that must be in this room somewhere. I found one (Nikon D2000) but the D40 is eluding me.  C says it will turn up eventually, but I have a no patience to wait for this.  I could, of course, buy another, they have dropped to nearly zero in price, but it is the principle of the thing.  And the first one has a data card with older photos I should have transferred to a permanent location other than leaving them on the camera.  Hindsight.

California King bedding

 After the fiasco with two, count them two, queen sized mattress pads that won't ever fit a california King mattress, I have been way more careful about what I order, especially size.  Today the CA king was inspected right away, since the Amazon window for returns is 30 days from receipt.  

Sesame shrimp for dinner, god I am stuffed.  The 'grub hub' is a great idea, fairly expensive, but saves a round trip to a restaurant.  They deliver whatever you order at whatever place you choose, including tip, and still heated.  Yum.

 

Happy Anniversary to me

 If N had still been alive this would have been our 53rd wedding anniversary; we were married in 1970 in Miami FL.   (Is my math right?)  It hardly seems possible now, with my contemporaneous classmates embarking on wedding number 3, if not more.  Suzanne H. was one of the latter, but it seems she did finally find her match.  They died (cancer) within a week of each other, so neither had to manage things alone.  It makes me sad to think of them as gone.

I still cannot figure out the $11,400 bill for ambulance trips, and judging by the lack of return phone calls neither of them can either.  If they send me a new invoice I will tackle the problem anew.  But meanwhile I won't fret this.

And as for the taxes, there doesn't seem to be enough documentation compared to the previous year.  I've sent letters explaining how my illness has impacted my bookkeeping, but there is no reply there either.  I think there is a gaping hole where Covid sent everyone home and then the 'all clear' did not bring them back.  With my luck the ones that work from home will never have to return $, while my situation grows  and grows in penalties.

Whine whine whine.  Enough.
