All is decently well, I've made new friends, and realized a few in my life were toxic and cut them out. Other than that ice been working a lot and trying to get out to have fun every so often. It's weird to have a girl friends to go out and just be girls with, I've never had that so its cool to be included in things that I never would have otherwise expected.
Hope alls well with you as well. I miss far too much to try to go back and read everything I missed, I'd be reading for days.
Glad to hear you are well. Am fine, though OLI gave me a terribly hard time; whereas he kept flipping on his back, endlessly. Thank GOD I managed to solve the issue after a lot of "detective work."

Silly OLI haha. With Franklin it was his log that he liked to dive bomb off and ended up flipping over head first. What did your detective work pull up as the cause for OLI?

This morning a cute little birdie flew into my kitchen so I grabbed a dish towel and set him free. He was so cute!

I buy packages of frozen fish to feed to my turtles. It's skinned and filleted. So day before yesterday I put a package of fillets in the microwave and set it to defrost then went away and completely forgot about it.

Yesterday while sitting with my daughter at the hospital, I was reading the paper, and turned the page to see a big restaurant ad for a fish dinner with a large colored picture of fish on a plate. I slapped myself on the forehead. OMG!!! I left that fish in the microwave!

My daughter's treatment was over at 6:30p and all we had to eat all day was a package of cookies and a package of peanut butter crackers, so we stopped at Taco Bell on the way home. (I had a burrito supreme (no lettuce or tomatoes) and a nachos bell grande (no tomatoes). Either I was VERY, VERY hungry, or that was the best Taco Bell I've ever eaten, but man oh man, was it ever good!!!

When I got home I set my dinner aside (we had taken it to go), then went outside and did my evening chores. When I came back inside I fed Misty then sat down to eat my dinner. Then I cleaned up, got into my PJ's and sat down to watch TV the rest of the evening.

This morning I gathered up all the trash and garbage and drove over to my daughter's house to deposit it all in her garbage cans. When I got home I thought the house had a bad smell. I checked all around to see if Misty had pee'd inside while I was gone yesterday, but no, no puddles. The smell seemed stronger in the kitchen and I finally pinned it down to the swampy conditions in my two baby tortoise habitats. I thought I might have to take them outside today and give them some fresh substrate.

As I turned to go to the sink, a brick fell on my head (in the form of another face palm)!!!!!!! The fish in the microwave!!!

So I cut up the smelly fish and went outside and gave it to all the water turtles. When I came back inside I put some white vinegar in a microwave safe cup and set it in the microwave for about 5 minutes. When it was done, I wiped out the microwave. It cleaned up nicely. But my house still stinks!!!!!!

Not nearly the level of food forgetting as that, but one time, very soon after meeting my friend who's a firefighter, I forgot I was cooking a grilled cheese and almost created a small fire. The entire sandwich was black... I didn't even get to enjoy my sandwich :(

LOL! "Firefighter" - "Grilled cheese forgotten on the stove" Maybe a little Freudian slip???

4 hours later and I'm still not done. Gotta look his finest if we're going to the car show again tomorrow. May not be the prettiest or most powerful (especially compared to show cars) but as my friend with the awesome car said "it's good to have pride in something" and I've always had pride in my car. In a world where I'm financially broke and have few things, this car was something no one could ever take away, it's the first thing I ever really owned, a space that was mine and could take me anywhere I want to go.

You should buy a small handheld buffer. That's what I use....have a freakin ball!!!!!!
We have one... Well it's not small by any means but we have one, and I just didn't want to use it. I like doing it all by hand, there's a certain connection about it. But then again I'm crazy and attached to my car so much people say I'm crazy so there's that lol
