Thursday, Sick grand baby


 Received a call very early from Signe' Kelsa sick all night.  Just a bad cold.  But you know how toddlers run a fever at night and then are running goblins during the day smearing nose gunk everywhere. So, she can't go to school.  But can I come meet her at the office and take her to my house?  Great!  So, she is now jumping rope behind me with a measuring tape.

Well just so you can be really proud to me... I completed my goal for the month a week early.  I put $1500.00 towards a savings goal!  Since I am early, I am going to start a goal that I had scheduled for next month.

I always give my aunt $500.00 for her birthday to help her pay her taxes.  She will turn 90 on the 11th of February.  So, I am going to save $500. So far, I have $150.00 toward this goal. 

Made peanut butter cookies this morning with Kelsa.  Gave some to the man that comes to spray for ants, and a few to clients.  Of course, Uncle Dan needs some and so does Kelsa's dad.  I don't think the double batch will last long.

 Sissie is taking my neighbor (who has Parkinson's) to her outpatient surgery today because I am stuck with Kelsa.  I told Kay to make sure that our neighbor was very stable on her feet before she let her go home.  She falls so easily now, and I would rather have her in the back bedroom until she is stable.  She is always sporting some gigantic bruise from a fall. We try and keep a close eye on her.

I am still selling things on Facebook marketplace and an elderly woman came to look over some antique dishes I had listed.  When I went to get her change, she picked up my cell phone thinking it was hers and put it in her pocket.  I knew within a few minutes she had my phone because my watch was not pairing, indicating that the phone was more than 300 feet away.  What a fiasco.  Also said elderly lady is from out of town.  So over to the neighbor to call Sissie, to have her call phone over and over until lady answered to return phone. Talk about a nightmare.  Here I am running a business and no phone. Plus, the cost of a new phone if not returned.  Also, the pictures on the phone the info on the phone. We set too much of our lives on these dang devices.  But they sure are nice! Long story short phone is back.

Well hopefully I can get a little sewing done today.  Kelsa is by my elbow, oh hold it, it is not Kelsa it is a kitten.  I have just been told this emphatically. I need to go get kitten some milk.  Grandma needs a pill of some kind.

God is good

  5. Wait until Kelsa needs a measuring tape of her own and cuts yours in small pieces.

    You are so generous to your aunt! Thanks for that.
