Well, Yelly Guy hasn't been around since I banished him from his mowing duties.
The zero turn mower arrived today, so I'll be mowing my weeds myself very soon. I spoke to retired nurse neighbor about it and didn't ask permission to drive this mower on her property for 6 feet.....assuming I can, bc she let Yelly Guy and I let her keep my part of the yard the way she wants it.
Nurse said "Oh, what's a zero turn mower?" But I think she was covering her surprise. Maybe YG didn't tell her I banished him? I really don't care. So over it.
In the meantime, the recycling truck leaked crushed and broken glass through at least 2 entire neighborhoods....I used huge shop vac on our entire cul de sac....so much glass!!! First I thought YG threw it, but I walked 2 streets and it was everywhere.
Posted warnings on the neighborhood message board WITH a shout out to the gut driving a truck to my house, parked then walked his white pit bull into my yard, watched it crap an ankle deep pile in my leaves then drove away without picking it up. Now I know where that came from....neighbor saw it and told me. The nerve!!#
The garbage pick up people need to fix that truck! I won't be ok if the keep dumping glass in our streets. I reported it and was assured they'd fix that truck.
A friend passed from cancer and a friend's father passed a few days ago, as did a friend's mother from heart disease as he recovered from open heart surgery.
Lots of COWs.
I'm walking the pug a lot and am exhausted from the street clean up in the heat....my back is fatigued.
I embarrasingly fell off platform shoes and injured my left foot Saturday. It's normal now, but was swollen under the big toe and so painful......there's a good deal of regret involved with my oddly spontaneous and surprising shoe choice, last minute, as I ran out the door for travel to a city 3 hours away. I was an hour down the road before my foot felt like something was biting it.
I can't find my tablet.

Lighter, do you think you might need to take up skydiving?
Could platform shoes be your earthbound substitute for that, or rooftops?
Amirite? Prolly not, but thought I was clever. (Usually in error...LOL)
hugs, gravity, healing zaps to ankle (so sorry you got hurt) --

No skydiving for me....ever, Hops.
I'll stick to rooftops, thanks; )

I dunno, what with glass in the street (that cleanup sounded like it would really wear hard on the back!) and lots of losses among people you know and those they love...that must've been a really hard day.
Hope the back is healing fast and you got some good rest.
I have patio guys here today working away. I always feel stressed when workers are here but do have confidence in the young owner of the business. Bit more stress checking retirement account yesterday to make the necessary withdrawal...I am one of those who have no clue about financial strategy other than frugality, so it is hard to see the balance is dropping and dropping again right now. I've learned "set it and forget it" is the only strategy that can work for me (stock picking was M's hobby but would give me another stroke) and did come back well from 2008, so I'm just hoping to hope all will be okay while I'll still here and before I need to spend it down further.
I decided way back to consolidate it all into TIAA-Cref and trust them. Hard to do but an expert will manage it better than I could. Fingers (toes hairs and prayers) crossed!
Well that was a tangent.

One of my dd's and I had a joint T session with my Therpist around learning to communicate better.... T asked if we'd ever done any non violent communication and we both answered Yes as the girls attended a tiny school based on that. It didn't really stick for dd.
T suggested we not come back to her again for joint session, but instead see an eating disorder T together... someone fresh and unbiased, which is the plan.
One good thing out of that session is dd is being more present and nice. Seeking me out, sharing more and being present.
