Hi, Tracy, sometimes sunny sometimes cloudy pleasant 60-ish Caturday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.
Sounds like you and Anne had a good day yesterday, and am glad she was able to get her car serviced. So Tang still ties to do his "amazing" Houdini disappearances. He keeps you and Anne on your toes.
Buster came by for a brief visit late yesterday in between the rain bursts. He came early this afternoon for an extended visit enjoying a nap on my bed. He left about 15 minutes ago to go home for lunch and treats. Haven't seen Bonnie yet today but may see her out and about later. Did a little bit more organizing of "stuff" this morning and then worked on getting Easter baskets ready for the residents in my immediate complex. Have a couple more items to get from the dollar store to finish them and then I'll be able to make the deliveries. The kitchen timer is letting me know my lunch is now ready so will get this off to you.
Tracy, it's always a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep Tux Jr, Little Tux, White Cat, Bobtail, Little Gray, Little Bit, Tweak, Princess, Dulcinea, Butters, Fluffy, Ferdinand, and all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and warm in the still cold evening temperatures. I hope you, your precious boy, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang and Anne. Please know you, your precious boy, and Anne are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to knowing how you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne are doing, along with the community waifs, and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas and princess Theresa.
Peace and blessings,

Hello moon_beam. Partly cloudy and warm (70) Caturday greetings to you. I hope this finds you doing well. Glad Buster came by yesterday and today and hope Bonnie did later on. I hope they are both doing OK.
Today we went to Jason's early for their yummy salad bar. Then we went to Petco to check on the adoptable kitties. There were a pair of brother Main Coons (one orange one gray) O'Reilly and O'Malley. The orange one was was scared at first, but I coaxed him out, then the gray one followed. The orange one needs his claws trimmed though. In keeping myself safe I realized I had the laser pointer stylus with my tablet. They really enjoyed that

I hope they get adopted together.
From there we went to a place called the Rec Bar. Which is a bar and grill but also has old school video games. One room is dedicated just to every pinball machine imaginable. All the games are no more than 50 cents to play with a few exceptions; better than the newer "trendy" arcades. We'll have to go there for lunch and fun some weekend. From there it was the Neighborhood Walmart (just groceries) and home.
Tang is doing well and enjoying his supper and I will give him his shot and treats in a bit as well as provisioning the local waifs.
I hope today has been kind to you and that you have a comfortable evening watched over by your beloved fur-ever angels. Peace and blessings.

Hi, Tracy, cloudy damp coolish 60-ish Sunday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.
Sounds like you and Anne had a good day yesterday with your outing, and know your precious Tang was glad to have you home for some quality family time. The Main Coons are always adorable, and add my hopes to yours that they will be adopted together.
Both Bonnie and Buster came to visit me today. Bonnie arrived first and is in her "princess" room taking a nap on the day bed. It has been quite awhile since she has lingered here for a visit and a nap. Buster came shortly after Bonnie arrived and settled himself down on my bed for a nap. He left about an hour ago to go home to get some lunch and treats. As I am writing to you he is back outside for his afternoon walk / visits and may stop by here again later on. Have been getting caught up on some emails today and reading a new book from the library. So all is calm and quiet here in the condo complex today.
As always, Tracy, it's a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, my friend, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and warm in the still cold evening temperatures.

Hello moon_beam. Partly cloudy and warm (70) greetings to you. I hope this finds you doing well. Glad to hear both Bonnie and Buster came by for extended visits and I hope both are doing OK.
We got up a little early today. First up was feeding the waifs at the old place for which I only saw White Cat. Next we went Ponderosa foe the breakfast bar which started out well enough. Until (with tables empty everywhere) a large group sat at the table next to our booth. The loud old man was the worst making sure everybody knew HIS skewed "political" opinions. Then some biker guy sat down behind me and proceeded to blast something on this cell (um earbuds please)
From there we were going to catch an early-bird screening of the movie Shazam. Only to find out that not only was everyone entering the theater seeing it too, but when we went to pick our seats we saw it was nearly sold out from online ticket purchases. We didn't see it. Maybe next weekend. So we went to the Rec Bar to play some games instead which was fun. The food looked good too. Have to try that next Caturday.
Tang is well and I'm getting ready to get his supper, shot and treats together as well as food for the local waifs. I hope today has been kind to you and that you have a comfortable evening in the company of your precious fur-ever angels. Peace and blessings.

Hi, Tracy, rainy breezy warm 70-ish Monday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.
Sounds like you and Anne had a good day yesterday. I know you both are looking forward to having your weekends together. Am glad you saw White Cat when you provisioned the waifs at your previous residence.
Did more organizing in the garage and laundry / utility area today. The utility area now actually looks like a room instead of disaster zone. Am looking forward to getting a small refrigerator now for that space. Called the contractor who graciously moved the furniture for me to come look at removing the cabinet above the kitchen refrigerator so that I could have enough height space for a new refrigerator. He has a couple of things to do for my neighbor directly across the driveway from me and Bonnie's and Buster's mom and dad, so he'll stop by and take a look at the project when he's here for them. I also called the company who did all of my antenna service at my home. They do come here to Bedford so sometime before the month is out they will come to assess if I can get good TV reception with an antenna, and if so, install it. Slowly but surely I'm finally getting things situated here. Buster has come for a visit and is taking a nap on my bed as I'm writing to you. Haven't seen Bonnie yet today. Since it's raining now she may be happy to be inside her home nice and dry.
Thank you so much for sharing with us that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, my friend, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and warm in the still cold evening temperatures. I hope you, your precious boy, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang and Anne. Please know you, your precious boy, and Anne are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to knowing how you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne are doing, along with the community waifs, and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas and princess Theresa.

Hello moon_beam. Partly cloudy and warm (72) I hope this finds you doing well. I hope your home improvement projects turn out to your satisfaction. Glad to hear Buster visited and that Bonnie will have at some point as well. I hope they are both doing well.
Not much to report here. Got a text that my RX is ready but got tired of being on hold for almost 15 minutes to see about picking them up Saturday
Tang is doing well and enjoying "sniffs" from outside via the living room window. He's had his supper and soon it will be time for his shot and treats, as well as provisions for the local waifs.
I hope today has been kind to you and that you have a comfortable evening in the company of your precious fur-ever angels. Peace and blessings.

Hi, Tracy, cloudy breezy pleasant 70-ish Tuesday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.
Hope you'll be able to wait until this weekend to pick up your prescription at your convenience. CVS has a 14 day pick up window for prescriptions which is helpful.
The primary activity today was focused on getting my ClickList order into Kroger for pick up tomorrow. It takes me a couple of hours to finish it - - mostly because the website slows down and sometimes freezes for a few minutes until it will accept an item into my grocery cart. That's a bit frustrating but that's the way it goes with high technology. Both Bonnie and Buster came to visit me today. Bonnie stayed only a few minutes, while Buster came for his usual afternoon nap. It is a blessing seeing them.
Tracy, it's always a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the chilly evening temperatures as evening temperatures warm for spring and summer. I hope you, your precious boy, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang and Anne. Please know you, your precious boy, and Anne are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to knowing how you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne are doing, along with the community waifs, and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas and princess Theresa.

Not much to report on here again today, so sorry for the brevity. Tang is doing well and has had his supper and shot. I will give him his treats as well as put food out for the local waifs as it gets darker out.
I hope today has been kind to you and that you have a most comfortable evening in the company of your beloved fur-ever angels. Peace and blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny pleasant 70-ish Wednesday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.
I can relate to the "no news means status quo" and hope your and Anne's "status quo" is decent. I know things significantly improve for you both when you get home to your precious boy, and the community waifs.
It has been a busy day for me as I went to Kroger to pick up my grocery order and then stopped off at Food Lion to pick up items that Kroger doesn't have. I left here around 10 a.m. and got back at 12:15 p.m.. It took me a half hour to get the groceries put away. Just as soon as I opened the side entry door both Bonnie and Buster came for a visit. Bonnie only stayed a few minutes but Buster is enjoying his afternoon nap on my bed as I'm writing to you. I'm looking forward to resting for the remainder of the afternoon and evening.
As always, Tracy, it's a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, my friend, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the chilly evening temperatures as they warm for spring and summer.

Hello moon_beam. Sunny and warm (75) greetings to you. I hope this finds you doing well. Glad to hear Bonnie and Buster paid you visits upon return home from your errands and hope they are both doing OK
No news indeed. Fact is we haven't even gone to work the last couple days. What's sad is I did something that made me almost 3X the money I would have made by going. With Anne's help, I tracked down and arranged to collect over 1200.00 in unused/unclaimed HSA money from former employers. Makes me wonder if there is any more out there. Eh, another month and it will be over anyway. We may be the only 2 that they have to pay UE claims on in the end, but I don't care how much the Firstsource overlords moan, they will pay. This is NOT India.
Tang is well and has enjoyed the extra attention though. He's had his supper and I will give him his shot and treats in a bit. As well as provision the local waifs.
I hope today has been kind to you and that you have a comfortable evening in the company of your beloved fur-ever angels. Peace and blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny pleasant 70-ish Thursday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.
"Found money" is always exciting, and am so glad you and Anne will have these extra funds to count on for expenses until you find new employment. Please let us know how things go.
Today has been a more calmer day after yesterday's errands and all the organizing projects I've been doing recently. This morning I had a chance to show the carpet tiles in the kitchen and bathrooms to my neighbor directly across the driveway from me as she had indicated an interest to see what they are like during the condo gathering about a month ago. We seldom see each other as she's a busy lady with part-time work and social engagements. We just happened to be outside at the same time and she had a few minutes to share with me. Neither Buster nor Bonnie have been by today to visit but I'll be seeing them later when I go over to their home to feed their doggy brother Buddy. I usually take a book with me to read to spend some time with them. Their mom and dad do volunteer work at the hospital and this evening the hospital is hosting a "volunteer appreciation" dinner, so they're going to that. They should be back around 8:30 p.m., but I'll probably be back to my unit by 8 p.m..
Thank you so much for sharing with us that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, my friend, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the chilly evening temperatures as they warm for spring and summer.

Hello moon_beam. Sunny, muggy and warm (80, so much for spring) greetings to you. I hope this finds you doing well. Sorry Bonnie and Buster didn't come by, but hope you got to visit with them later. Hope they are both doing OK.
So, they did it sooner rather than later. Right when we clocked in too. Unfortunately Anne signed her papers, so I don't know what that will do to her UE. I did not and literally threw my badge at the witch like Gambit with his playing cards in the X-Men. Since I packed my own stuff up while they were boxing hers, I was able to zip on out forcing them to try to keep up with me. They may have fired me, but I left like a boss. I think they proactively tried to fight the UE claim too as I got something from that office today about something (audit) from 2 years ago. So I may not get UE either. Oh well. On top of that Anne's car may need a new axle and is sitting at the nearby Big O awaiting an estimate. About 1200.00 if it needs a whole new axle. But she did qualify for 2200.00 in financing for it. So, all that happened today. Oh well.
Tang is doing well and has had his shot and supper and will get his treats later. Dulcinea was waiting on the food tonight on the porch. Last I looked she was eating while Tweak patiently was waiting his turn.
I hope today has been kind to you and that you have a most comfortable evening in the company of your precious fur-ever angels. Peace and blessings.

Hi, Tracy, rainy foggy dampish 60-ish T G I F greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.
I hope you and Anne will be okay financially as you begin the task of seeking new employment. I hope you both will get unemployment benefits until you have new jobs. I know so well from first hand experience about expensive repairs happening at a time when funds are the least available. Please let us know how things go.
Bonnie's and Buster's mom and dad got home sooner yesterday evening than what I thought they would - - much to Buster's delight. It was a pleasant evening and he wanted to go outside so bad but I told him he needed to wait until his mom and dad got home to decide if he could go back out. So indeed his mom gave him permission and he was sooooooo happy. The good news is that by 10:30 p.m. the porch light was off indicating that he was home safe and sound for the night. He has been known to do an "all nighter" prowl causing his mom to sit up watching and waiting for him to come home. I must not have traumatized him too badly by not allowing him outside because he came to visit today and took a nap on my bed. He left about an hour ago to go home to get some lunch. A few minutes ago I saw Bonnie hustling to her front door to get inside out of the rain.
As always, Tracy, it's a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, my friend, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the chilly evening temperatures as they warm for spring and summer.

Hello moon_beam. Cloudy and mild (66) greetings to you. I hope this finds you doing well. Glad you got to spend time with Buster and Bonnie and that he finally got to go out. I hope they're both doing OK.
Well, we got another estimate from a place Anne's older sister recommended but they were about the same. So we're letting Big O do the work and it should be ready Monday or Tuesday. So we'll have to keep her dad's truck until then. The pay back rates on the financing are pretty steep though. Being that Anne lent her other sister money last year, she's trying to get it back to at least cover that first month's payment (sigh) We continued to apply for jobs most of the rest of the day.
Tang seems to be doing well. He's had his supper and I'm about to give him his shot and treats in a bit. He's getting good "sniffs" in the living room window right now. Time to provision the waifs soon too.
I hope today has been kind to you and that you have a comfortable evening in the company of your beloved fur-ever angels. Peace and blessings.

Hi, Tracy, cloudy rainy dampish 60-ish Caturday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.
I hope everything goes okay with car repairs. I do know so very well from first hand experience how expensive repairs are, even routine maintenance. It's nice that Anne's dad loans you his truck so that you don't have the additional cost of a loaner car to deal with. Please let us know how things go.
Did some work on financials today and finished up a project. Both Bonnie and Buster came for a visit earlier. Bonnie stayed to take a short nap in the "princess" room, and Buster took a short nap on my bed. It was so nice having them both here at the same time. They have gone home to get some lunch and stay dry.

We didn't do much today figuring the traffic may be bad for the the air show and fire works at the river (opening for the Derby fest) Just went to get some gas in the truck and few groceries.
Tang is doing well and has been good company. He's had his supper and I will give him his shot and treats in a bit as well as provisions for the local waifs.

Hi, Tracy, rainy damp 60-ish Sunday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.
Can't believe it's getting time for another Derby Day in Kentucky - - only about 2 weeks away. I can relate to you and Anne wanting to avoid the traffic. I know you're always glad when the derby stuff is over with.
It's a quiet day here in the condo complex. The region is under a tornado watch until around 8 p.m. this evening. The weather theory is that the more consistent the cloud cover is the less likely a tornado or severe storm has a chance to develop. We definitely have consistent cloud cover so we'll see if the weather theory is accurate as the afternoon and evening progresses. Have been getting caught up on some emails and began reading another library book. Buster has come by for a visit - - he's taking a nap on my bed as I'm writing to you.

Hello moon_beam. Rainy day greetings to you. I hope this finds you doing well. Our weather is about the same here BTW. Glad to hear Buster came by and I hope he and Bonnie are doing OK.
Not much going on here today. A little grocery shopping, laundry and watching some Rifftrax on Prime. Posted for a few jobs online, that sort of stuff.
Tang has been good company as usual. I had to clip his claws a little bit ago and he wasn't happy about that. Soon it will be time for his supper, shot and treats as well as provisions for the local waifs. We did go to the old place this morning and I saw White Cat down by the fence instead of the porch she's usually on.

Hi, Tracy, sunny blustery gusty windy chilly 50-ish Monday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.
Sounds like you, your precious boy, and Anne had a good day yesterday enjoying quality family time together. I hope the next jobs you and Anne get will be better for you. Please let us know how things go. Am glad you saw White Cat yesterday when you and Anne provisioned the waifs at your previous residence. I know they appreciate your continued care for them.
Have been working on financials today primarily reconciling the bank statement with the checkbook. I'm always glad when that's done. Got an email notice that I will need to renew my driver's license this year but can only do it at the local DMV office - - can't renew it online this time. I also have to provide proof of who I am to get the new ID driver's license. Someday we may be like the foreign countries having to carry ID papers with us at all times. Buster came by to say hello and take a nap on my bed. He left a few minutes ago to go home to get some lunch and treats. Haven't seen Bonnie yet today but may see her later. She isn't fond of the blustery wind so she may be keeping close to home today.
As always, Tracy, it's a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, my friend, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the chilly evening temperatures as they warm for spring and summer.

Hello moon_beam. Sunny and cool (54) greetings to you. I hope this finds you doing well. Glad Buster came by and I hope he and Bonnie are doing OK. In regard to your license, you have no idea how close we are to living in a "police state" unfortunately
Today I got my my direct deposit of the 285.00 HSA and the 317.00 in the mail; just waiting on the 622.00 now. We didn't really go anywhere, just stayed in applied for more jobs online. We did get notified by mail how much we will get for UE the other day - IF we qualify which we don't know for absolute sure yet.
Tang has been in pretty good spirits. He's had his supper and shot and will get treats later. Dulcinea was waiting on the porch representing the local waifs. It was so cute the other night when she stopped eating briefly to head butt/nuzzle Tweak. They seem to eat together a lot.
I hope today has been kind to you and that you have a comfortable evening in the company of your precious fur-ever angels. Peace and blessings.

I'm glad you have received funds due you and hope they will keep you, your precious Tang, and Anne taken care of until you begin receiving your unemployment benefits. Please let us know how things go.
Worked a bit more on financials this morning before attempting to take a walk. The sunshine is misleading because the breezy wind adds a chill to the air so I came back home. Both Bonnie and Buster have been by to say hello. Bonnie's visit was brief, but Buster came and took a short nap on my bed. With the sunshine they both are wanting to be out and about today.

Hello moon_beam. Sunny and warm (79) greetings to you. I hope this finds you doing well. Glad to hear Bonnie and Buster stopped by and I hope they are both doing well.
Today we decided to take Tang to the McNeeley lake park again. I made some sandwiches and packed them and other items from what would have been work lunches picnic style and off we went. We parked in a different spot and while he was leery at first he soon began to explore once we finished eating. He even pulled on the leash to go up the incline to the road. Turns out there may be a colony of feral cats a man was feeding under a natural bridge. He seemed to really enjoy his field trip
Not much else going on. Applied for more jobs, deposited that check and picked up Anne's car at Big O. It seems much better now.
I hope today has been kind to you and that you have a comfortable evening in the company of your precious fur-ever angels. Peace and blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny pleasant 80-ish Wednesday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.
Sounds like you, your precious Tang, and Anne had a very enjoyable family day yesterday, and am so smiling how your precious boy enjoyed the picnic. I hope you and Anne will receive a positive response to your employment queries soon - - preferably with an employer who is your first choice.
Worked a bit more on financials today making preliminary preparations for the upcoming bill-a-thon, and had a nice lunch with my brother and sister in law this afternoon. Bonnie greeted me when I got back home, and Buster is here with me now taking a nap on my bed. According to the VA Dept of Motor Vehicles rep I spoke with this morning the reasons why I can't renew my license online this time is because I need to update my license photo and need to submit to their vision screening. So I have an appointment with an ophthalmologist for a complete eye exam on 5/8. It's been several years since I've had a thorough eye exam so hopefully I'll discover that I'll be able to pass the DMV's vision screening.
Thank you so much for sharing with us that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, my friend, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the chilly evening temperatures as they warm for spring and summer. I hope you, your precious boy, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang and Anne. Please know you, your precious boy, and Anne are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to knowing how you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne are doing, along with the community waifs, and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas and princess Theresa.
Peace and blessings,

Hello moon_beam. Sunny and warm (78) greetings to you. I hope this finds you doing well. I'm glad both Bonnie and Buster paid you visits and I hope they are doing OK. Hope you had a nice lunch too.
Besides the usual applying for jobs online today we decided to have some lunch on the cheap and go to the zoo since I already renewed the annual passes a while back. Both the tigers were out as well as the new snow leopard. The Puma was subdued but in her enclosure. The lynx was much more active than usual too. The polar bear was pretty animated too
When we got home we discovered we both got emails from Meijer recruiting about the applications we put in online a while ago inviting us to open interviews. I hope something good comes of that.
Tang is doing well. He's had his supper and I'm about to give him his shot and treats in a a little while. as well as provision the local waifs.
I hope today has been kind to you and that you have a comfortable evening surrounded by the loving spirits of your fur-ever angels. Peace and blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny delightful 80-ish Thursday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.
So glad you and Anne had a pleasant day at the zoo yesterday. And to come home to find a hopeful response to your applications waiting for you was a bonus. I am keeping you and Anne in my thoughts and prayers that this will lead to a decent job offer. Please let us know how things go.
Although the temp earlier this morning was around 60 degrees the humidity levels were in the 80's making it feel warmer, and the breeze was calm. So I took a walk this morning down the road that leads to the hospital. I stopped about halfway there as that was farther than I had walked before being aware that, for me, it was a round trip distance from there back to the condo. My goal is to be able to walk the distance to the hospital and back, and then anything beyond that is a bonus. I guess it took me a total of about 30 minutes to make the round trip walk - - don't ask me what the actual distance was in feet as I haven't a clue. When I got back I worked on getting the bills to be paid for May listed in my checkbook and got most of the standard checks written to mail next week. Still need my electric bill before the last check can be written. Am enjoying having the both front door and garage entry door open with the screen doors for the fresh air. Buster has come for a visit - - he's taking a nap on my bed as I'm writing to you. Haven't seen beautiful Bonnie yet today but may see her later when the mail comes.
Tracy, it's always a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep Tux Jr, Little Tux, White Cat, Bobtail, Little Gray, Little Bit, Tweak, Princess, Dulcinea, Butters, Fluffy, Ferdinand, and all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the chilly evening temperatures as they warm for spring and summer. I hope you, your precious boy, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang and Anne. Please know you, your precious boy, and Anne are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to knowing how you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne are doing, along with the community waifs, and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas and princess Theresa.

Hello moon_beam. Sunny and warm (76) greetings to you. I hope this finds you doing well. Glad to hear Buster came by for a visit and I hope he and Bonnie are doing OK. Sounds like you had a pretty good little walk too.
We were going to go to the open interviews today, but Anne didn't get much sleep last night and didn't feel 100% mentally which I can understand. We will get a good night sleep tonight and go tomorrow. In the mean time we stopped at the library to print our most up to date resumes and got a bite to eat before coming home.
Tang is well and he's just had his supper. I will give him his shot and treats before long ass well as provisions for the local waifs. I hope today has been kind to you and that you have a comfortable evening in the company of your beloved fur-ever angels. Peace and blessings.

Hi, Tracy, rainy humid 70-ish T G I F greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.
Sending you and Anne my very best wishes that all goes well with your interviews. Please let us know how things go.
Felt up to another walk this morning before the storms began. I walked to the end of the road across the road from the condo complex that dead ends. It's a lovely road with individual homes and beautiful trees - - very tranquil and peaceful. I would thoroughly love living on that stretch of road, particularly at the very end which is a cul-de-sac. Oh well, those days are over. I wish there was a park at the end of the road with benches to sit on - - it would be a lovely place to sit and enjoy the peaceful quiet and listen to the birds chirping. As I was walking back to the condo the clouds gave way to a steady sprinkle, and then as I got inside the sprinkles gave way to a steady rain. In between the passing clouds we have had some heavy cloud bursts and gusty winds. Buster has come to say hi and is taking a nap on my bed as I'm writing to you. It will soon be time for me to start fixing some lunch.
As always, Tracy, it's a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, my friend, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the chilly evening temperatures as they warm for spring and summer. I hope you, your precious boy, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang and Anne. Please know you, your precious boy, and Anne are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to knowing how you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne are doing, along with the community waifs, and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas and princess Theresa.

Hello moon_beam. Rainy day greetings to you. I hope his finds you doing well. Sounds like you had another nice walk today. I hope you can continue with that as the weather warms up. Glad to hear Buster came by and I hope he and Bonnie are well too.
Well, we got the jobs at Meijer. But Anne let the hiring manager browbeat her into working in the deli which she does not want to do (vehemently) And since she didn't speak up for herself, that's somehow my fault

Times like this I wish I could just disappear and then everyone would be a whole lot happier
Tang is doing well at least. I'm about to give him his supper and shot and treats later. I need to set out food for the waifs here, but not sure how that's going to work with the rain.
I hope today has been kind to you and that you have a comfortable evening in the company of your precious fur-ever angels. Peace and blessings.

Hi, Tracy, cloudy gusty windy coolish 50-ish Caturday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.
I'm so sorry Anne has been assigned to work in a department she doesn't want. Still, perhaps she'll eventually be able to transfer to a different department that she would prefer. I'm keeping her in my thoughts and prayers that the deli department will turn out to be not so bad until she can transfer to a different department. When do you start? What are your hours? I presume your wages are satisfactory. Look forward to learning more about your new jobs - - whatever you feel comfortable sharing with me.
Today has been quiet here. Have been getting caught up on some emails. Buster is here keeping me company taking a nap on my bed as I'm writing to you. Not much news here to share today.
Thank you so much for sharing with us that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, my friend, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the chilly evening temperatures as they warm for spring and summer.

Hello moon_beam. Rainy and cool (44) Caturday greetings to you. I hope this finds you doing well. Glad Buster came for a visit and hope he and Bonnie are both doing OK.
We don't know the start date as the background check is pending and that was Friday. The hours will be essentially what we've been working (11:30-8) mid day. Anne and I talked about it and when we get contacted about moving forward she's going to see about another dept besides deli. As quickly as they hired us, I doubt they'd let her walk over not wanting to work in the deli. And if we have to work an earlier shift, so be it. I'd rather do pricing or cash office anyway as the manager mentioned.
We went back to the Chinese buffet for lunch and the visited a new shop in the neighborhood that has gaming collectibles etc. They were having a 2.00 DVD sales and we got some classic animated features on Blue Ray. From there we did our shopping Meijers to see what they have anticipating our employee discount. Some things we'll still have to get at Walmart or Kroger it looks like.
Tang is doing well and has just had his supper. I'll give him his shot after a while as well as set out the food for the local waifs. I hope today has been kind to you and that you have a comfortable evening watched over by your beloved fur-ever angels. Peace and blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny breezy coolish 50-ish Sunday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.
I hope things work out okay with Meijers. It sounds like it will certainly be different from the work you and Anne have done for several years. I remember you mentioning that you would like to get out of call center work entirely, and perhaps this is your, and Anne's, opportunity to do that. I just hope it doesn't turn into a total disaster. Please let us know how things go.
Got a couple of emails done today and began reading another book from the library. Buster has come to visit and is taking a nap on my bed as I'm writing to you. Will be joining his mom and dad later today for dinner and may see Bonnie then.
Thank you so much for sharing with us that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, my friend, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the chilly evening temperatures as they warm for spring and summer.

Hello moon_beam. Sunny and warm (72) greetings to you. I hope this finds you doing well. I'm glad Buster came by to visit and that you get to see Bonnie later too. I hope that they are both doing OK.
I'm not sure why you would think that Meijer's will be a total disaster, but I too hope it will not

I guess we'll know more when they contact us after the BG check.
We didn't do a lot today but feed the waifs at the old place first. I saw White Cat again down by the fence and who I thought was Little Gray by the pool, but upon a closer look I'm not so sure it was her. As long as they are doing OK and get the food I guess.
From there we went to Kroger for a few groceries and gas for Anne's car. Then home for some brunch and TV. A while ago I walked down to the Circle K behind us for a forgotten item which was nice considering the spring weather today.
Tang is doing well and has just had his supper. I will get his shot an treats later as well as the food for the local waifs. I hope today has been kind to you and that you have a comfortable evening in the company of your precious fur-ever angels. Peace and blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny pleasant 60-ish Monday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.
I am keeping you and Anne in my thoughts and prayers that Meijers will be a good experience for you - - I was merely reflecting on previous jobs you've had (such as the one that begins with "A") which turned out to be not good employers for you. I'm not really sure there is anything anymore as a "good employer" - - but I'm sincerely hoping that Meijers will be a decent one for both you and Anne. Please let us know how things go.
Have been busy today scheduling online payments for bills and updating my financial log book with payments made. Buster came to keep me company while I worked on finances, and took a short nap on my bed. He heard the sunbeams beckoning him to enjoy the day so he left a couple of hours ago.
As always, Tracy, it's a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, my friend, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the chilly evening temperatures as they warm for spring and summer.

Hello moon_beam. Sunny and warm (76) greetings to you. I hope this finds you doing well. Glad to hear Buster paid you a visit and hope he and Bonnie are doing OK.
A fair point about the warehouse company jobs that we won't name. Of course that was warehouse not retail (for which we both have a experience) and a result of quitting the jobs before that; not much choice this time around. In any case, I hope it's not a disaster as well. Anne did talk to the HR lady about scheduling our orientation today (Monday at 2 PM) and told her she's not comfortable handing food (deli) to which she said she'd talk to the director that interviewed us (fingers crossed)
We did catch a movie today at the cheap 2nd run theater today - Lego Movie 2. Funny and cute except for the loud child and crying baby. At least the mother of the former did eventually leave.
Tang is well and has had his supper and shot. I will get his treats after my shower as well as food for the local waifs.
I hope today has been kind to you and that you have a comfortable evening in the company of your precious fur-ever angels. Peace and blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny gorgeous 70-ish Tuesday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.
I am keeping Anne in my thoughts and prayers that she will be assigned a department she feels comfortable working in, and hope this is done in a spirit of understanding with cooperation from the management. No employee, and especially Anne, should have to be continuously apprehensive about the job they're assigned to do. Please let us know how things go.
Beautiful Bonnie came for a brief visit this morning. After she left I took a walk and have met my goal of walking to the hospital and back to the condo - - according to the help of Google Maps and an online distance calculator it is approximately 0.8 of a mile round trip. So now I can continue to gradually expand my distance. Haven't seen Buster yet today but he may come by later this afternoon for a visit.
Tracy, it's always a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the chilly evening temperatures as they warm for spring and summer.

Glad to hear Bonnie came by and I hope she and Buster are doing OK. Thanks for the well wishes on the upcoming job; for Anne especially.
Today we went to Jason's Deli for their wonderful salad bar only to discover they will be closing that (our favorite) location May 1:( Then we stopped into Petco to discover that O'Malley and O'Reilly were still there but still looking pretty good. They had a new bonded pair of ginger brothers Hanz and Franz that were adorable too at just 4 months old. From there we went to Half Price Books and found the last book in the Passage trilogy that Anne's been reading that I read years ago (new show on Fox this season) So she can return her copy to the library. From there it was a quick stop at Aldi and home.
Tang is doing well. He's had his supper and shot and will get his treats later as will the local waifs get their food too.
I hope today has been kind to you and that you have a comfortable evening in the company of your beloved fur-ever angels. Peace and blessings.

Hi, Tracy, cloudy breezy humid 70-ish Wednesday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.
Sounds like you and Anne had a good day yesterday - - it's amazing how not having a job can almost be pleasant. But not having income is equally stressful as having a bad job to do just to get a paycheck. I hope your and Anne's jobs at Meijers will be low on the stress and high on the income. Please let us know how things go.
Had several errands to run this morning - - post office to mail bills, the recycling center here in town, and a stop at the ophthalmologist office to give them my insurance information along with my list of medications and associated allergies in preparation for my 5/8 appointment. I also stopped off at a car service place to introduce myself and my car to them to learn their procedures about making service appointments, etc.. Will need to do that in May. When I got back to the condo Buster immediately came to visit but didn't stay long - - it's too nice to be inside today, so after we had a nice visit he went on his way, and then I took a walk up to the side street at the hospital - - today's walk was a little over 0.8 of a mile. There is a church not too far beyond the hospital, so walking up to the church is my next goal.
Thank you so much for sharing with us that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, my friend, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the chilly evening temperatures as they warm for spring and summer. I hope you, your precious boy, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you.

Hello moon_beam. Cloudy and warm (76) greetings to you. I hope this finds you doing well. Glad to hear Buster at least visited briefly and hope he and Bonnie are both doing OK. Glad to hear your daily walks are going well too.
Today we went for a bite to eat on the cheap in the neighborhood (Captain D's) and then across the street to a Peddler's Mall we haven't been to in a while. They added a whole new DVD section and between that and the old one, we found about 6 discs (movies and TV shows) each! All priced between .94 and 1.25. Not a bad haul. It's supposed to rain tonight and all day tomorrow, so we know what we'll be doing.
Tang is doing well and has just had his supper (a fresh can night to his delight NOM NOM NOM) and I'm about to give him his shot and then his treats later as well as the food for the waifs before the rain gets in here.
I hope today has been kind to you and that you have a most comfortable evening in the company of your precious fur-ever angels. Peace and blessings.

Hi, Tracy, cloudy pleasant 70-ish Thursday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.
Sounds like you and Anne had another good day yesterday, and I know your precious Tang is enjoying the extra quality family time. The rain you're having today will be in the region here tomorrow.
I met a milestone this morning on my walk - - a little over a mile. Not quite to the church - - that may take another 2 or 3 walks to get that far, but I'm happy with the progress. Didn't do much else after I got back from the walk. Got a call from my brother this afternoon asking me to take care of Scarlet for a few days so that he and my sister in law can go visit her mom. She's still in the rehab center. So Scarlet will arrive Sunday afternoon and they're expecting to pick her up on Wednesday, 5/1. So I've told Buster and Bonnie that Scarlet will be visiting again, but that I would visit with them in their home when she's here.
As always, Tracy, it's a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, my friend, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the chilly evening temperatures as they warm for spring and summer.

Hello moon_beam. Cloudy and warm (75) greetings to you. I hope this finds you doing well. Glad o hear you are meeting/exceeding goal on your walks. I hope you enjoy your time with Scarlet and that you can visit with Bonnie and Buster in their home during that time. I hope they are doing OK as well.
Woke up this morning around 6 or so to get the waif food dishes forgetting I'd brought them in last night due to the rain. However, Dulcinea was on the porch of all things. I put some dry food out for her on the ground and as she was leaving Butters showed up. So I put some out for him. I think it's because I usually leave the dry out all night when the weather is good and they were wondering where the usual "left overs" were.
The rain avoided us for the most part, but we still stayed in and had brunch and watched movies. Disney/Pixar Inside Out (Blueray from Peddlers) and Disney's Christopher Robin on Netflix. Both were good.
Tang has enjoyed us being home. He seems well and is napping a few feet away from me. Soon it will be time for his supper, shot and treats as well as evening food for the local waifs.
I hope today has been kind to you and that you have a comfortable evening watched over by your beloved fur-ever angels. Peace and blessings.

Hi, Tracy, rainy humid 60-ish T G I F greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.
Sounds like you, your precious Tang, and Anne had a very nice family quality time together yesterday. So glad Dulcinea and Butters were able to get breakfast yesterday morning courtesy of your and Anne's dedicated provision. I know they, and all the community waifs, appreciate your ongoing care for them.
Yesterday evening Amazon was having technical difficulties with Prime Video. Kept getting a message that I needed a 5 digit PIN number to access my FREE Prime programs. I logged into my account online and that must have "re-set" whatever the glitch was because after that I was able to access my programs without any further difficulty. So today I did a live chat with an Amazon rep who helped me establish a 5 PIN number to replace the apparently outdated 4 PIN number I had established 6 years ago. So hopefully I won't have any further "technical issues" accessing my Prime programs anytime soon. Have worked on a couple of overdue emails. Sweet Buster came for a visit, and was inside warm and dry when a heavy cloudburst erupted outside. He took a nap on the cushion in my chair at the big computer desk. He left to go home for lunch and treats about 20 minutes ago. It is always a joy when he comes by to visit. Because of the rain and wind today I won't be doing any walking outside.
Tracy, it's always a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep Tux Jr, Little Tux, White Cat, Bobtail, Little Gray, Little Bit, Tweak, Princess, Dulcinea, Butters, Fluffy, Ferdinand, and all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the chilly evening temperatures as they warm for spring and summer. I hope you, your precious boy, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang and Anne. Please know you, your precious boy, and Anne are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to knowing how you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne are doing, along with the community waifs, and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas and princess Theresa.

Hello moon_beam. Sunny and mild (65) greetings to you. I hope this finds you doing well. Sorry the weather impeded your walk. Glad to hear you got your Prime fixed and that Buster paid you a visit. I hope he and Bonnie are both doing well.
Other than returning some library books and a quick stop at Target this morning, we weren't really able to go anywhere today. When I awoke this morning the inside door mat in the kitchen was soaked. At first I thought it might have been the heavy rains and hung it up in the shower. Upon further investigation (after I mopped up the water) I thought it was the refrigerator and so did the maintenance tech from where the water was. But long story short, it was a leak in some copper tubing in the wall behind the dishwasher. He and another tech spent about 3 hours total fixing it but they put the walls back together nicely.
Tang is well and has had his supper. I will give him his shot and treats a little while as well as food for the local waifs. I hope today has been kind to you and that you have a comfortable evening in the company of your precious fur-ever angels. Peace and blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny gusty windy 60-ish Caturday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.
I'm glad you and Anne were able to get the plumbing fixed. Of course it royally messed up your day having to contend with that, but at least it happened when you and Anne are able to be home instead of starting a new job and perhaps having to take time off from work to deal with it.
Beautiful Bonnie came for a visit earlier this morning but she didn't stay long. Shortly after she arrived Buster came to say hello but heard the "call of the wild" beckoning him to enjoy the sunbeams. About an hour after he left he came back and is settled on the cushion in the chair at the big desk top computer desk taking a nap as I'm writing to you. In preparation for Scarlet's arrival tomorrow I did some vacuuming and clearing off tables and the tops of bookcases where Scarlet likes to jump up on. After Buster leaves later on I'll finish setting up her kitty latrine and getting her food and water bowls freshened up so that they're ready tomorrow when she arrives.
Thank you so much for sharing with us that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, my friend, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the chilly evening temperatures as they warm for spring and summer. I hope you, your precious boy, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang and Anne. Please know you, your precious boy, and Anne are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to knowing how you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne are doing, along with the community waifs, and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas and princess Theresa.
Peace and blessings,

Hello moon_beam. Cloudy and cool (58) greetings to you. I hope this finds you doing well. Glad to hear Bonnie at least came by for a brief visit and that Buster came back for a longer one. I hope they are both doing OK and that you can visit with them in their home while Scarlet is with you.
Today we went to an arts and crafts street fair in the Cherokee Triangle neighborhood. We went last year as I recall but this year they added a couple more rows it looks like. We didn't buy anything of course, but it was fun to look. There were many dogs there, but the 2 that stood out for us were a couple Great Danes. A Dalmatian pattern one named Harley and and black one named Ace. BIG boys too but very friendly
Tang is doing well and has had his supper and shot. Later I will give him his treats and provision the local waifs. I hope today has been kind to you and that you have a most comfortable evening in the company of your beloved fur-ever angels. Peace and blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny sometimes cloudy gust windy 70-ish Sunday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.
So glad you and Anne had a good day yesterday at the Cherokee Triangle fair. Great Danes are one of the many more docile natured dog breeds. Were Harley and Ace up for adoption, or enjoying the festivities with their human companions?
Scarlet has arrived with the usual protests of being "dumped" here by her daddy. She has already eaten some food and used her latrine like a good girl - - which is better than previous visits when she has gone almost a day without eating anything or using her kitty facilities, both of which had me quite concerned at the time. As I'm writing to you she's stretched out on the table in front of the window on the garage side of the condo looking outside. Haven't seen Bonnie or Buster today - - and I don't think Scarlet has seen them either because there haven't been any major territorial fights through the window yet.
As always, Tracy, it's a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, my friend, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the chilly evening temperatures as they warm for spring and summer. I hope you, your precious boy, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang and Anne. Please know you, your precious boy, and Anne are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to knowing how you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne are doing, along with the community waifs, and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas and princess Theresa.

Hello moon_beam. Sunny and mild (57) greetings to you. I hope this finds you doing well. Glad Scarlet is settling in better this time. I hope Buster and Bonnie are doing OK too.
We didn't do a lot today. After putting on some laundry we headed to the old place to put food out for those waifs. I think I saw Tux Jr along the fence in what was the first feeding spot. He ducked into the drain grate as I approached though. But he popped his head out when I got way down to the the second spot along the fence (where White Cat is usually, but didn't see her today) Perhaps he only vaguely remembers me. I saw Little Gray by the bushes by the pool too and she seemed friendly. From there it was Kroger and home for the day.
Tomorrow we go to the orientation at Meijer at 2:00 PM. I knew Anne wasn't crazy about working there, but the "I'm going to find a good job on my own" remark last night cut a bit deep

I guess when it comes to finding good jobs (even though that was literally our only offer at the time) I don't do so well.
Tang is well though. He's had his supper and I will give him his shot in a little while as well as his treats and provisions for the local waifs. I hope today has been kind to you and Scarlet and that you both have a comfortable evening in the company of your precious fur-ever angels. Peace and blessings.

Hi, Tracy, cloudy gusty windy chilly 50-ish Monday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.
I hope your and Anne's orientation today at Meijers goes okay, and hopefully that Anne will see that it will better than what she is anticipating right now. Please let us know how things go. Am glad you saw Tux Jr and Little Gray yesterday when you provisioned the waifs at your previous residence. I know they appreciate your continued care for them.
Worked a little on financials today and got my appointment for car maintenance and rental car set up for next Monday, 5/6. The rental car company does not offer pick up service here, so I will have to get someone to help me pick up the rental car and deliver it back to the rental facility when my car is finished being worked on. This is such a hassle particularly since there isn't any public transportation here in Bedford. Scarlet has been keeping me company without too much hissing, spitting, and growling so far.
Tracy, it's always a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the chilly evening temperatures as they warm for spring and summer. I hope you, your precious boy, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang and Anne. Please know you, your precious boy, and Anne are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to knowing how you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne are doing, along with the community waifs, and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas and princess Theresa.

Hello moon_beam. Sunny and warm (81) greetings. I hops this finds you and Scarlet doing well. I'm glad to hear she's doing a little better this time around. I hope Buster and Bonnie are doing OK. Sorry to hear the rental car place doesn't do pick up service.
Well, orientation only lasted a few hours. And since the lady that normally does that retired and the one filling in for her is off until Thursday that's when we go back to finish and for more training and paperwork. The HR lady Anne spoke with on the phone just changed the list and put her down as a cashier. Not enough though apparently. She wants to go to a job fair for Teleperformance Thursday before we go back to Meijer at 2:00. Yeah it pays better, but they are shady, it's as far away as possible while still (barely) being here in town, and it's call center. I was trying to get away from that. But I guess I'm doing that now

Would have been nice to see how well I could have done Meijer, but oh well.
Tang is well and has had his supper. I will give him his shot and treats a little later as well as put the food out for the local waifs.
I hope today has been kind to you and Scarlet and that you both have a comfortable evening in the company of your beloved fur-ever angels. Peace and blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny breezy delightfully 80-ish Tuesday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.
Even though you and Anne have promised jobs at Meijers it's still a good idea to keep your options open. Going to a job fair while keeping your jobs at Meijers is quite understandable. And who knows - - after you and Anne go to the job fair tomorrow Anne might think the cashier job at Meijers is an acceptable position - - for now. I know you have been wanting to try to get out of call center work for quite awhile, so - - would it be acceptable for you to work at Meijers and Anne work elsewhere at a job she would rather prefer? It's just a question - - only you and Anne can decide what is "right" and practical for you both. I'm keeping you both in my thoughts and prayers that you'll be able to decide where you want to be. Please let us know how things go.
I wasn't satisfied with the information I got yesterday from the car rental reservation rep so I went to the car rental site this morning to speak with the onsite rep. He's a "one man show" in that office but he told me there would not be a problem picking me up at the car service place here in town. So that's taken care of - - and that takes a HUGE concern off my mind. Scarlet settled down next to me on the bed last night for awhile. In fact she got so comfortable that she started to fall off the edge of the bed - - but caught herself with her front claws. I'm very glad she didn't fall onto the hard floor - - that would have hurt since the hardwood flooring is directly over the cement foundation. She's been playing with her toys today and settled next to me on the small sofa here in the computer area and let me give her a nice brushing when I got back from the car rental facility. There have been a few hisses and growls but not many so far today. She's a joy.
Thank you so much for sharing with us that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, my friend, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the chilly evening temperatures as they warm for spring and summer. I hope you, your precious boy, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang and Anne. Please know you, your precious boy, and Anne are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to knowing how you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne are doing, along with the community waifs, and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas and princess Theresa.

Hello moon_beam. Cloudy but very warm (84) greetings to you and Scarlet. I hope this finds you both doing well. I'm glad to hear she's feeling a little bit more at home. I also hope Bonnie and Buster are doing OK.
I was able to at least make Anne see where I'm coming from last night. The distance, the rep of the company and the fact it's call center. We're still going to check it out though. I broached the idea of her taking that job w/o me and it's not her preference (or mine really) Personally I hope she'll see it's not worth it to go all that way for more stress. But we'll see I guess.
We didn't really do anything or go anywhere today (trying to save money on things like gas) Found a couple more Pixar type movies on streaming. The latter surely not for kids. Didn't even know that was out there.
Tang is well though. He even hopped up on my lap on the couch when I put a pillow on my lap. He hasn't done that since we moved here

He's had his supper and I will give him his shot and treats after while. Will also provision the local waifs.
I hope today has been kind to you and Scarlet and that you both have a comfortable evening in the company of your precious fur-ever angels. Peace and blessings.
