Pre-Summer Stuff

Cats
Our kitten has grown to be a one year old young lady. She was a birthday present for Bethany in 2009. Well, it is now 2010, her sixteenth birthday, and guess what...we have another new kitten in our home! It is more than a challenge this time. The two resident cats, Isabella and KitiKiti, have outright rejected it! So, because the new kitty, Abigail (Abby for short), cries and cries when we put her in Bethany's room to keep her safe. The other cats, when put in a closed door room, meow and meow to get out. This dilemma has to be solved...short of giving her away.

School's Out!
The very day that Lilly was promoted from the 8th grade to High School, she left home to spend a month with her friend in Kentucky. I'm missing her. Bethany has a couple of programs she is involved in this summer. And I have jury duty!!!!! I was able to postpone it back in January. They pushed my date out to June. Now, I have no options. Between the girls' activities and jury duty, I won't be able to go anywhere til July 22!

Stuff
CELL PHONE ISSUES
My chocolate touch phone had to be sent in for repair. The calibration on the touch screen was off and couldn't be fixed manually as one of the settings claims. So, I have a loaner phone. I miss my music, games, etc., and hope it will be returned good as new this week! Dream on, right.

COMPUTER ISSUES
My computer is ticking me off, too. For some reason, it flips to another page at it's will. I can be typing an e-mail, posting to this blog, whatever...and it changes pages, pulls up menus, all kinds of wierd stuff. So, I have to do a back up, optimize, and defragment it. I may as well put it in the bathtub while I'm at it.

ONLINE SALE LISTING ISSUES
Trying to post items on Craigslist for sale has been a challenge. The worst part is when responses are spam messages. It almost has come to the point of removing my items so I won't get so much junk back. Like e-Bay, it is becoming just as difficult to post, get serious responses, and deal with in general. My alternative is having a garage sale, which I hate to do. Especially in hot weather. I'll think about it.

CALENDAR ISSUES
Well, there's really not an issue with the calendar...it just seems as though June has crept up on us so quickly! I've missed grandchildren's birthdays, friend's anniversaries, double booking appointments, etc.
I'll blame it on age...yes, mine. Not much else could excuse my lax behavior.

Well...that's it for now. Later...
