Today was the day the kids closed on their new house. Result? No Gunner, no Chewlee, no Princess and no Johnnycakes. The house was eerily quiet. It's not that they were even living in the RV they parked on our next door lot for long. It's just so easy to get used to the sounds of the great-grands and the (grand) daughter being here every day. I enjoyed it. More than I thought I would even. I really will miss their living so close. I may not have been over there all that much but it was comforting to know they were closeby.
With that said, that was pretty much my day. The Beast went out looking for a new window fan for the kitchen window but couldn't find one anywhere. He misplaced the one we had for it. He said he looked everywhere, including the cottage and the barn but....nothing! We are finding a lot of strange things missing from the house. Gremlins?
He brought home spicy chicken sandwiches from Chik-fila for our lunch so we ate the leftover potato pancakes for dinner. They were really better today than they were yesterday. More time for the flavors to merge, I guess.
We had to take the sheets off our bed that the Beast had bought. I knew we would have trouble with them since they were the Microfiber type. You can't keep the sheets in place. They were deep pocket ones but the corners would just come loose from any tossing or turning. I put a regular cotton set on them and those will work fine, I know. The Beast just threw the others in the garbage because he disliked them that much! And they were brand new...LOL. So wasteful but you don't give away something YOU dislike.
I just spent a few hours after dinner checking my email and then on FB to see the new posts. That always takes up HOURS of my time due to the number of friends and family (mostly family...we're Irish, after all). Took a nap and am now up and doing this post. Still tired and will head back to bed after this is done.....which is now. The trouble with being old is not really being all that active. I forgot to call Cee to check on whether or not she wants to go to resale shops with me tomorrow but I will see what she is doing in the morning. I still need to find some more jeans or nice pants for my trip.
Oh, I did have to run to the bank today. We found a couple charges that were NOT ours on our checking account. I placed a dispute with the VP at our branch and it was only a few hours before we had the money back on the one charge and a provisional credit on the other one because they hadn't gotten in contact with them yet. Don't you just hate when that kind of thing happens? I had placed an order two months ago (and received that one) but hadn't placed another one nor had I received anything. It really pissed me off. The nerve of any company doing that kind of thing just because they had your debit card number. Now I have a temporary one until my new one comes some time next week. It's a pain because I will have to notify my medicare supplement company tomorrow and then call again with my new number since I have automatic payments for them every month. Dammit!
Well, love you all. Be good. Remember...Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. ***Hugs***
