I’m home. The early votes are in and I appear to be an acceptable girlfriend for RT and he thinks he’ll keep me. 😃 And, by the way, add this to your things not to do list: while staying with a parent and other family members break the bed by doing this questionable activity sitting down :dubious: Honest, that’s all that happened. I was laying in bed and RT came back from the bathroom and sat down and the bed frame fell apart and I was suddenly tilted like I was going to be standing on my head soon. Apparently the bed had broken when it had been used last and it had been reassembled, but not very successfully. ---

Huh. I don’t think I’ve posted yet this week, although I’ve been reading along. Have been tearing my room apart, done laundry and am in the middle of sorting out some papers. Also, earlier I ran some errands and did some garden clean-up. Hope everyone’s having a lovely Sunday. Hugs all. GT ---

I’m home, did y’all miss me? I could not no way no how date my mothers bf. He is lucky we were late getting out of here, then we had to go to CVS to pick up some scripts for him and I needed gas. We went to Costco for that, which is out of the way. While there he called and asked my mom to bring him some kind of ring, he wants to show the nurses at the hospital. I’m like you have got to be kidding me?? So we came back home to get it. I ended up not going to the hospital, I dropped my mom off at his daughters and the two of them went together. Since one of my friends lives over by him I stopped by her house and hung out and had dinner. All the groceries came and Sah-son put them away. I got some Magnum Ice Cream bars, they were free. I’m not too impressed. ---

Nice shrimp! I love ghost shrimp, but after buying the second set I finally realized they were escaping the aquarium, not dying and being eaten like I thought. ---
