Sunday stuff

[Deleted]

Hi ladies! It's slow here, how's everyone doing?  I've been bumming around today...nursed a slight hangover from last night.  We went to a restaurant/bar on the beach last night and it was fun! But I can't drink anywhere near the way I did years ago. Lol. 
I haven't seen my mom since May. She ended up spending the whole summer down south even though she was supposed to come back in July. It's much longer than I've gone without seeing her before and I miss her.  Now she says she won't be back until october.   We've had our differences in the past year and a half since my stepdad died, but I really miss the way things were. 
Anyone live far from family (that used to be near) and have any tips? I'm going to try and get her to sign up for skype because she doesn't have an iPhone.

We did another TNR Friday night and released the cats today. We got 19 cats!

I went to a gorgeous baby shower and I'm just getting ready for my cooking date! I'm super excited.

Just got back from a 2.5 hour hike. Legs are sore!

Bf and I have decided to move in together in November. It's either going to be to my apartment or a new one but it depends on life circumstances at the time. My apartment will literally save each of us nearly $9000 a year.

@blueyes623, I have no advice but I am sorry about your mom. hugs.

I spent the morning in the hospital. Kidney infection and kidney stones. YAY! I swear I am never going to get a break. At this point, I just laugh. I pretty much have been in bed since Friday evening. At least I'm well rested!

I'm thinking about taking a trip to Colorado or Washington state. I am curious to see if marijuana would help with my pain. I'm too much of a goodie goodie to smoke it here. Plus I have no clue where I would get it. lol

I'm sorry @blueyes623! I hope your mom learns to skype soon. One of my sisters lives far away and she facetimes often. I think that's how she stops from being homesick.

((abcdefu)) kidney stones and infections are awful. I'm sorry.  Sending you positive health juju.

I'm sorry @blueyes623. One thing that helped me during college when I couldn't see them often was that I would do something my mother would do, like She always listened to classical music and I would tune in to her show and it always made me feel closer to her.

I'm in a weird mood today. last night was an old friends bday and my exh also showed up. We haven't spoken in quite a few months but it's still awkward to see him out. No I don't harbor any hate or anything, but it was weird and I don't know if I'm used to seeing him around town.

I taught my Mom how to do Google Hangouts - it works better for me than Skype. When I was overseas for several months, we used that and Whatsapp so she would feel more connected to me. You can have video chat "dinners" together

Or Portland;) I'd be happy to help!

Never heard of google hangouts. Thanks! I'll check it out.

Went putzing around this morning, looking at new vehicles. Cleaned up the camper and reserved our site for next weekend

Went wine tasting today in Canada. It was fun but made me almost certain I am not a wine fan

[cam13]

Got a nasty letter from my HOA about my slightly unkempt yard so we spent the weekend tidying up between storms. I have a deep hatred for my HOA and it's so hard to not be nasty back to them. I'm selling in December and I can't freaking wait.

That's ok! You were willing to try it to see if you liked it. That's a lot more than others would do.

I'm petting sitting again. I was planning on spending all my time in the pool but the weather hasn't been hot at all on the coast. I can't wait to sleep in my own bed on tuesday night! I'm not used to sharing my bed with something that snores.

I drove all over the place this weekend; would it be wrong of me to get a pedicure just for the foot and ankle massage?? I think I logged about 400 miles in the past 48 hours.

I got one of these letters once for having "too many weeds in my flower bed"

Um, what. We don't have flower beds...

An easy way to never get letters is to join the HOA board - since I'm on the committee now, I don't write letters to myself (also we don't write them to anyone now except when your siding is falling off or you have kudzu growing up the side of your house...not that those people ever fix their shit anyway)

Never thought about the joining thing, hmm (idea)
