Today Is Thursday, August 28, 2025: This Is What Happened.

Sometime the letter etween v and n sticks. The good news I order a lap top out of wal-mart yesterday, and should be here today. I got a chromebook. Our local library has people help people with the techie stuff. The other day hubby and I did up a shrimp dish. Some time Safeway has them on sale. 

Murphy had great result with one of his catract remove from his let eye, Now he only needs reading glasses. Next Wednesday he will have his other eye done. 

One of my friend says there no golden years, they ought to be called the rust years. After a certain time in our life things slowly start to fall apart. In general I feel that as we age compare to years ago. Science made great progress.

Still have on box on the far upper right shelf I like to go though. Not sure if I will get it done in the next couple of weeks or not. There this wooden box we have. I called it the treasure box. I put different things in it. Looks like mostly books. I'm going to let my grandaugher dig though it, and take items. With there parents approval. I can't think why they wouldn't let them have the items in the box. How it will be done is buy drawing from a regualer  playing card deck. 

As you enter any medical place they have a sign on door warning about measles. The county just south of us had some report cases. I know I was vaccinated for one of the types of measles, and the other the vaccine hadn't come out. Both of our sons are vaccinated, so is my granddaughter are. It looks like only 75% of our community is vaccinated. Not herd immunity. I just don't get people who don't get there children vaccinated. I talk to some of those who don't get their children vaccinated, and they're full of all sort conspirary crap. 

Confession time...I pretty much laugh at those conspirary theory.  Since Trump and the maga base I'm starting to believe that he wants to be dictoator. And he keeps moving that way. It seem like on daily bases he is breaking or bending our constition. 

At the libary I got some of my writing and journal prompt card done up. So thankfull for the help I got. I now need a protractor and I'm sure there one around here. Plus I got some color pencil and crayon divided up, and place in the treasure box. Still working on embrodiary block for a quilt. 

Today Is Thursday, August 14, 2025: This Is What Happened.

Sure smokey. There plenty of fires burning around us. Although we don't see any flames which is good. Actually I like going outside. But with smoke it doesn't really allow me to go out and joy the mountain air. I understand rain is heading this way. Got my finger cross when rain comes that the lighting won't over power it.

I'm amaze how some people. Not sure if there actual people. I'm talking about the maga ones. Those Trump supporters. Some guy in the senior center thought Trump was for the working people. And that those tariffs was going help the majority of people. At this point the tariffs has put slight change on how we live. Then someone else said the demarcates just want to hand out free stuff. Statement time...Ones  needs to qualify.   Each of safety net program ones has guidelines. Opinion time...Most of them needs to be updated.  

This post was inspired by High Rise, and DRIVING. I understand young people isn't all that interested in driving. Driving is done by each state. When I was in high school back in the mid 70's it was offered after school, and it cost $20, that includes a learner permit. You had 15½. That was in the state of Washington. Although my friends which wasn't all that smart, and teenagers really don't make great choices. I had actually start driving around 13 years old. A few times I had to drive my dad home from the local drinking establishments. So after driving lesson I got my driving license when I was 16. And my driving test. I scored a 98% which was a the highest of that class. 

Now driver education is quite expensive now. In United States it will run between $400 and $800. Or one can wait til there 18 years old. And take that state written and driving test. With out driving-lesson your insurance will be at higher rate. Until your 25 years old. I'm thinking what my son had to pay for driving – lesson. I know it was under $400. Thinking it was between $200 and $250. Plus I understand cruising isn't a thing now days.

Took Murphy to the eye appointment for his pre-op for his cataract surgery on the 20th.

 Clouds are mighty in our sky. Look like a storm might be heading this way. If it lightening, sure hope there is plenty of rain. It quite dry here. No need for any fire. Doesn't matter the type. Look like the rest o the week it might get a little cooler. In the 70's. Most of this week it been in the 90's. 

My last post. I wrote about what going on with our MEDICAID, under Trump regime. One think I like to clear up is, that I'm not on Medicaid. I'm on regular MEDICARE. At this time I won't discuss this program. It was just to hot to make much for dinner. So fried up beef patty, pork and beans, with some cottage cheese.

Finely had chance to go to lap circle, at library. Most of the ladies was crocheting. I start anther quilt block to embroidery on.

Coffee is on. 

Today Is Monday, July 28, 2025: This Is What Happened

 

I like to share an local article in one of papers, ABOUT THE MEDCAID CUT HERE IN IDAHO.and here is my comment to the facebook page about Idaho Medcaid...There’s no doubt that our healthcare system needs improvement—but cutting people off Medicaid will only make things worse.

Here in Idaho, qualifying for Medicaid is extremely difficult. The income limits are tight:

A single person can’t earn more than $1,800/month.

A two-person household is limited to $2,433/month.

A family of three: $3,065/month.

And four people: $3,598/month.

These numbers alone show how many working families fall through the cracks. Even if you’re working full time, you may still earn just enough to not qualify—but not enough to afford private insurance. And that’s just the income side. There are resource limits too. Depending on the program, your home and assets might be counted, and when a person dies, the state can come after their estate to recoup costs paid by Medicaid. That’s a scary reality.

In most of my adult life, I’ve had no health insurance. When the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) passed, it was the first time I had some sense of medical security. It was a turning point. I’ve never understood why the U.S. doesn’t have some kind of single-payer system, where people can buy in by paying a percentage of their income. That way, we could share the responsibility—and people wouldn’t have to fear losing everything just because they got sick.

Maybe I’m being a little self-centered—I know I’m scared of losing what little we have. But I don’t think I’m alone in feeling that way. Kicking people off Medicaid doesn’t fix our system. It makes the gaps wider, and the safety net smaller. I don’t pretend to have all the answers. But I do know this: we can’t afford to let people slip through the cracks—especially in rural communities like ours.

I'm linking the BONNERS FERRY FACEOOK PAGE. Not sure if it will work or not. But by some of them comments. Some people think it funny that people is loosing there medical insurance.

I just need to learn to pace myself. Not sure if I over did and hurt my hip. The next day I felt fine. Plus I tried to cut back on my MELOXICAM. See the last time I saw my doctor. I told my doctor I didn't think the Meloxicam was all that effective. I still hurt. She suggest I go off of it for a few days. And see where my pain level was. By the third day my pain level was sitting at 8.5 to 9. A few time I was about ready to go to the emergency room. So I got back on the Meloxicam, and the worst my pain has been was 3.75. I can mange on that. Actual I have fairly high pain tolerance. Plus on my left side I have Osteoarthritis. Then there lack of muscle tone. If my muscle tone was tighter it would help my joints.

Clean the toilet, and start anther quilt block. Now for the embroidery blocks I have just passed over the half way point. On number 7 out of 12.

Today Is Tuesday, July 8, 2025: This Is What Happened.

Look like it another hot day. I keep hearing it might even make about to about 95 (35). Went to the senior for lunch and they had chicken sliders. Plus there food give away.

I did some minor changes in my health habits. No eating between 5:30 pm and 8:00 But at times lives goals just puts a monkey wrench in it. And only only certain days I have sweets, which is these days, 3^rd, 6^th, 9^th,12^th, 15^th, 18^th, 21^st, 24^th, 27^th, 30^th. I eat naughty sweets. In about month I haven't quite lost 5 pounds.

This morning I order a 4 items on prime sale. I do have issue with billionaire not paying there fair share of taxes. I look up on how many billionaire they are in the world. According to A.I and Forbes they're 3,028 billionaire. All together they hold 16 trillion dollars in wealth.

So the items I order there no way I could got any of the items in my community. The closes items was shelf I could of went to Walmart just south of Sandpoint, in town called Ponderay. It 21 miles from my house. The other things was a nightwear, which I could get at Walmart. The other two items was art items and I think I would had drive to Spokane. I could think a few more items. But I had to tell myself no. I do that quite often. To tell myself no. 

Yesterday. I wrote out checks and paid the bills. The water, gas, and electric I keep current. Then my internet I pay quarterly and it due the end of this month. That got paid. And I paid two smaller doctor bills, both under $30. The other three bills I couldn't pay off completely. Two are medical, which I should pay off by the end of August. More medical bills to come. A lease most of medical stuff in this area will work with you. I promise them I will make a monthly payment of over $45 each month. And I didn't pay off the credit card. For some funny reason I like to eat and never know what will come up. Hopefully I will have to chance to pay more on my three bills that are dragging.

Off to Coeur d'Alene, Murphy need to see the doctor about his  hiatal hernia

Today Is Tuesday, July 1, 2025: This Is What Happened.

Hot and it might drop down into the 80's in a few days. My clothes and such is sticking to me like glue.

Look like both of sons are coming up for the 4^th of July weekend. Sawyer and his girls is coming up on Thursday. Bart and his wife. Will be coming up on Friday. We have amazing firework show.

Since my granddaughter is coming up. I will go to the 4^th July celebration. I do wonder if we will have a country by the next presidential election, which is 2028.

A lot is going on in the world. With the budget just past. Murphy and I will be okay. Not saying we won't happen to tighten our belt up. But I worry those who have mortgage or paying rent, with small children. The democrat party the last thing I heard of not to cut those with children under 12 from the SNAP. I'm still trying to figure out how people even voted Trump in office and his goones. The people it going to hurt is Liz and Regis. But the good thing about our up coming budget is that it still need to be voted by the house.

Went to the senior center for lunch, we had spaghetti, with homemade bread sticks, green beans, carrots, pears, and Cesar salad. Murphy don't care for Cesar salad. It okay, but not one my favors. They had there food give away. Lot fresh fruit was being offered. Wasn't today but some food give way. I'm guessing the end of June. We got some Oriental dish, with Cesar salad kit. We had the for dinner tonight. We heat the Oriental dish up in the microwave . As for the salad we toss out the dressing and add blue cheese. Basically a free dinner.

Yesterday Murphy and I after the senior center we went for a drive up in the mountains. Murphy went for a little hike and I did some sketching. Sunday I went to tea and tarot, done at the pearl.

It seem like there not enough time in the day. I need to get some printing done, and just seem not to find the time.

Coffee is on.

Today Is Thursday, June 26, 2025: This Is What Happened.

The other night I went to up to the Pearl Theater and took part in still life drawing. I believe they're was about 12 of us. I decide to do mine in a collage form. I was surprised some of the artist never heard of collage. One called it application with paper. I was quite please how the piece came out. 

I understand that the Pearl Theater lost some of the grants they recieve and or they won't renew them. In 2024 they held the Pride event. And they didn't public did this year, because of the backlash. Starting first part of June, the pearl start to get hate mail. That other local business is afraid of being part of queer community. Even if it just be ally and have there name part of the Pearl. They do have other events there as well. 

Murphy and I still going to the senior center. Last Sunday we meant up with my son from Spokane and his family. We found a place on the south-side of the PEND D OREILLE river. We was hoping the girls could catch a fish or so. No luck. They had fun playing in the water.

This morning I went and had coffee with Quenella at Under The Sun. She had tea and I had coffee we walk down to the local print shop. She had some cards done up. I asked about prices for some custom made flash cards. At times I wonder if I communicate or explain myself in a matter that I get my message across. They seem reasonable priced. Now I need to figure what size of paper I can get the most bang out of. The example isn't quite what I want. I stop at the dollar store and looked at poster board. The large white ones was .50¢ each but they seemed slightly smaller then what I known them to be. After that I stop at Super One grocery store, and best deal I got was corn on cob. 4 for $1.00

I forgot I stop at the thrift store and drop off some items. That been sitting in tote in smaller bedroom. It gone!

Got one the medical bill paid off. Next month I will start on them again.

Coffee is on.

A fairly short post. Prices are going up. I never understand why they need a religious state, any where. Also been updating some of my family history.

Today Is Tuesday, June 10, 2025: This Is What Happened.

The world is now both scary and crazy. Mostly here in United States. At this point I don't think we're at point of Gaza and Israel. Or Russia and Ukraine. To me the part concern me is that who is the so called

bad person. It would be great if the bad person wore a certain color of hat. During world war 2 person wore triangle to edifying who or what they were. The BADGES. No, I shouldn't use the term mostly as I did above. The two other scene I mention is more dire then here. It worry me if one doesn't truly know who the so called “bad person” is. If a person vote different then me or thinks as I don't. I don't believe there “bad”

Later on Murphy and I will go to the senior center for lunch. I think there having something Mexican. I like to go in a little early, I want to check the thrift store and see if there any sleepwear for me. My current sleepwear is getting on the thin side.

For my medicare they are taking out a little over third. For my husband medicare they take out just under 20%. At some point we shall fall into a QUILIFY MEDICAL BENFITS. We do have to pay an deductible. The part B which is $257 annually. My part A PAYS FOR. Then there also part b, WHICH COVERS. I don't complete understand my responsibility of part A. If I end up in hospital I pay $1,676.

It a little after 10, and it already 81 degrees out side. With this heat it sure can drain ones energy.

Waiting for one more bill, our electric one. I was thinking of calling Northern lights. That's the electrical company. And say “If I don't get my bill by the 3^rd just forget it. I will pay my utilities in full. Plus the rig insurance is also due. Then we have some medical bills as well. A few of them will get paid off. The others I will send them something.

Murphy and I start some trees. The end of the road people. An older couple now are passed on. Their kids sold the property. Right now there logging it and saw some gravel trucks coming in. My guess they will they will divided it up. Here any new places plots are divided up in to five acres plots. My concern is what I called undesirable Coastal people will show up. We get quite a few of them moving up in my area. And they love Trump. 

End of last week I went a new moon ritual. My new moon goal is to get my box of items to the thrift store, and clean out the china hutch. Where the dishes are. That the two main things.

I just finished the book I was reading, FRIDA KAHLO. As I wait for the book I want to get from inter-library is THE OCEAN AT THE END OF THE LANE. I'm about ready to start, A FLOWER FAIRY ALPHABET.

Coffee is on.

Today Is Sunday, May 25, 2025: This Is What Happened.

Just finished the book, A MATTER OF CLASS, by MARY BALOGH. Last two books was under the genre of RENGENCY ROMANCE. But there also other genre that is connect to REGENCY. The last two of the books I enjoyed. And would consider looking into other books by Georgette Heyer and Mary Balogh. I don't see myself putting to much effect in finding these author books. I will get them out of my local library. I know our library has quite a few Georgette Heyer books. Not sure what the stats is on Mary Balogh.

I just start to read FRIDA KAHLO THE BRUSH OF ANGUISH. Our library has given me a few Frida Kahlo book. I can only guess why. She has be come quite the icon. Some time I would like to read a book on her husband Diego Rivera. That catches his inter being his make up. What made him tick.

Both hubby and I plan to go up into the mountains. We both slept in this morning. And got a slow start to the day. We got slow start. But the good thing is we got a few smaller project caught up or decent stab at some others things. Quiet pleased, and no reason why we can't take drive up in the mountains.

Last Friday evening I went to a new moon ritual down by the river. There was only three of us. We as pagan need to be careful and use common sense. Just like the LGBTQ+. In lot of ways the far right here is more scared. They think the gay community can groom or convert. The the pagan don't go out and proselytism. I find it just plain ass rude to go around and shove one's belief downs one mouth.

Today Is WORLD TAROT DAY.

Saturday morning I went to art insight, and we all did ugly birds.

As far as ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE it here. Now what we do with it is up to each of us. Like anything else we need and should set bounds on it. Like anything else in our life. It has an off and on switch of some type Just like my camera, lap top, phone, vacuum, dishwasher, television, coffee pot and or etc.

It one of those days I was clueless what I want to post. So I ask chatgpt this...Could you please ask me five question? That I can do a blog post on my blog.

Here is it basic reply...

Of course! Here are five thought-provoking questions you can use as prompts for your blog posts. Each one is designed to inspire reflection, storytelling, or exploration of an idea:

Now I'm not sure of this. It might be interesting.

What is a belief you used to hold strongly but have since changed your mind about—and why?

I don't know if I held any really hard belief. I learn over time my ideals, opinions, or thoughts. Would be what is was in style. Example...If the majority people thought let say a library should be painted blue. I would agree to keep the peace. I didn't or I was scared of not fitting in. Well once I was away from it. I was miserable. I learn one is happier if they was true to them self.

How has technology changed the way you live, work, or connect with others in the last five years? One thing I can say it hasn't made me a multi anything. Gee being sarcastic. It way for me to connect with others throughout the world. I use it as a way to learn and grow. I recently start using chat-gpt. Like any thing else, we all have to set our bounds.

What does “success” mean to you, and how has that definition evolved over time? I don't think there is such a thing of true success. As I said that. There no thing as true failure either.

If you could give your younger self one piece of advice, what would it be and why? Be true to yourself. If your not true to yourself there still will be unhappiness surrounding you.

This is interesting. Not sure when but I would do this again. Go head if you want you can use some of these question or all of them.

No photos! Today. Just words, strung to gather. And hopefully it all makes reasonable since. I guess it depends who one talks to was I being productive or wasting time. Is there something in the middle or the road. Great a place to possible get hit my car or something. I guess no one need to stand in middle of road to get hit by asteroid.

Well here things I did this morning so far.

• Had morning coffee.

• Watch television.

• Read in my book.

• Help with breakfast.

• Help pick up breakfast.

• Start a load of colors.

• Went for a short walk.

• Clean out my e-mails

• Played Farm Valley Merge.

• Got dressed.

After art last Saturday. I stop at local protest, here is small article in our LOCAL PAPER. I came for a while. In days prior to the protest I talk to a few people, and they was worried about repercussion. I know of two people who had repercussion. One person got all four of their tires flatten. And the other had their vehicle windows shoot out. I don't know of any more insistence. When I was there they were about thirty people. It last about two hours people came and went. I doubt at any give time they were even one percent of the county there. If we had one percent of our county population came the turn up would have been 137.57. But let take count when I was there, so only 0.22% came. Not good numbers.

Let talk about the local voting block. Let take last President election. Around 80% of the population voted for trump. So the last figures I heard they're only 8% of our county is registered democrats. But there is certain part of our county is consider “Rino” Republican In Name Only” I had ask A.I what part population here might be Rino. A.I couldn't give me straight answer. Because it was subjective. The cold heart maga buts the rinos with the liberals. If your not a maga here your marxist. I will just used the remaining percentage which is 12%

Murphy and I are planning today some yard work today. Murphy just toss the clothes in dryer.

Editor Notes...When I was at the rally. I think the majority had no reaction, then a few honk their horns and gave a thumbs up. Well only one person gave us the bird finger.  

Coffee is on.

Today Is Monday, May 12, 2025: This Is What Happened.

The comments on my post of SATURDAY, MAY 11 2025. Sure had a variety of response. Which was expected. I'm not sure what part of A.I tools will have in the future. After this brief conversation with A.I on what they will reply to and how. Here is a snip of conversation with chatgpt. Nothing like the one on the 10^th. It about a poem I wrote. Which I will copy and paste in shortly.

Peppy: How about a poem. From part of what I wrote. She deceitful He deceitful. Both of them set in church pew. Hopefully their so called sins is covered up. The curtain lifted to the world is there. All will judge differently. Some hard others soft. They stork their ego. Some my be big and other small. Don't bite the hand that feed you. Even if the hand treat you awful. No real place to run. You don't know what tool you need. Is it power of what. Do you use mussel or wit. What is their strength or wit. Will time run out.

Chat: Would you like a visual version of the poem for journaling or sharing online?

Peppy: A visual version of the poem please

Chat: This image generation request did not follow our content policy.

Peppy: Please explain?

Chat: Thanks for your patience. The reason the visual version couldn’t be generated is because part of the source material for the poem touches on sensitive topics—particularly references to deceit, judgment, and emotional abuse—which can be interpreted as graphic or emotionally intense content, especially in a visual context.

While text-based poetry and reflection on these topics is completely allowed (and often valuable), visual depictions—especially when they might portray religious or interpersonal judgment scenes—are more tightly restricted to avoid misrepresentation or emotional harm.

That said, I can absolutely create a text-based visual design of the poem—like a digital poster or journal page style—using elegant formatting, soft symbolic imagery (like a curtain, pews, clock, or whispering wind), and neutral tones. Would you like me to do that instead?

Peppy: How about poster style, with elegant format.

Chat: This image generation request did not follow our content policy.

Well here the poem that came up. Sure I feed it from part of my automatic writing.

⟡ Behind the Curtain ⟡

She deceitful. He deceitful.
Both sat stiff in the same old pew,
Hiding sin in Sunday linen,
As if stained hands were born anew.

The curtain lifts. The world can see—
Some cast stones, others set them free.
Judgment comes in shades of flame:
Hard, soft, silent, naming names.

They stroke their egos, big and small,
Pretending heaven can’t see at all.
They bite the tongue that tells the tale
And feed the hand that lets them fail.

You don’t know which tool to wield—
A sharpened word or silent shield.
Muscle? Wit? Or silent grace?
What wins this slow, decaying race?

No place to run. No place to hide.
The clock may lie, but won't abide.
Time's breath is close, but never loud—
A whisper sifting through the crowd.

Now I want to know who or what is aloud on chatgpt. Friend Fynn who also has lunch senior center was talking about A.I and asked a question. About the conflict between Israel and Palestine. Asking the same question just switching between two countries. When using Israel it had more intense answer. But when it came to Palestine. It didn't match there content policy.

I have no ideals where this all going to. But the world needs bounds and rules.

Murphy and I went for drive. We took the game reserve loop. Sometime in June there going to take down dike. Not sure exactly how of the dike will removed. But as understand the wet land don't have any nutrient. The dikes were put in the late 19 century and early 20^th century. For flood control. And the farmers fields. But at one time we had salmon up in the kootenai river. This is before the dikes. Well it will be major job. Here is an ARTICLE our local paper wrote.

We had leftover corned beef so we made BURRITOS.

The senior center is having lamb.

Coffee is on.

Today Is Saturday, April 5, 2025: This Is What Happened.

Took a morning walk, not many clouds in the sky. The sun felt good. Kept wanting to post. But I kept moving it forward. Then it became to late. It not even noon here, as I type out my post. But time I get typed out it could be past noon.

The market been crazy. Murphy and I can live on our social security retirement. Hopefully they don't start playing games with that. It this entire trade war. Trump did. I think it could be beneficial. If us human wouldn't be so cruel and greedy. Maybe, and I'm using the word maybe without, much faith. I there a winner in this trade war. It could let to major and more Trust like they had in the 1890's Okay they didn't have shopping on the internet either. At this time I don't see a win win situation. Just more power to the oligarchies. 

Yesterday, we went to Sandpoint to see an surgeon about getting myself a  mammoplasty reduction. First I have to do physical therapy on my upper back. Both the doctor and I know it waste off time. But one needs to jump through the hoops. Or one will be banging their head against brick wall, and move nowhere. Murphy needs to go in to Sandpoint to see the ophthalmology, about getting his cataract done.

After we get all this medical figure out. I hope to get into the library and over the photo-shop to make some appointment and move on some creative projects.

It slow going through different part of the home. But it happening. Got some more things to take to the thrift store.

Coffee is on. 

Today Is Saturday, March 22, 2025: This Is What Happened.

Just finished up loading the dishwasher, and making oven french toast casserole, here is the RECIPE. I'm using. For the fruit I'm using apples. Plus add some chopped up walnut and small handful of raisins. I'm a raisin. Murphy and I made beef stew for dinner tonight.

Around the place we did those chores we didn't get done. I got out my RAINBOW. I call it my big boy. It really cleans. Mine is an older one. Someone toss it in a dumpster can. The only thing wrong with it, was the cord was tangle. Maybe someday I can get the attachments.

Plus I loaded some more pictures, my downloads. Not sure if it really working. I'm using an multi port device. Well if I plug my thumb drive directly into my laptop, nothing comes up. But if I plug the thumb drive into multi port, it works just fine.

The last thing I want to close the week off. Was to vacuum out my car. Got that done.

I don't think I mention this. But I got an letter from social security about my Medicare. Well they're suppose to take out, $185 a month for my Medicare. So now they want it back. So they will be taking out 2 months worth. My April social security will be right around $100 dollars. I just hope there no glitches after it's paid back. With Trump in office. Some day, I will say less than five years we will qualify for MEDICARE HELP. We will be ok, we will just mainly living on Murphy check. All the monthly bill is up to date.

Coffee is on.

Today Is Friday, March 21, 2025: This Is What Happened.

 

Loading my photos off of my laptop is going good. I'm thinking I should be posting photos, before the end of the month. I would like to go through the photos that is in a trunk. That will take a while.

Before I woke up this morning, I had a strange dream. More like nightmare. If it includes President Trump it's a nightmare. He was in the oval office, signing an executive order to burn a book. This book was about transgender. Although I didn't see the book title in my book. He went out side of the White House. And lite the book on fire.

Last night I went to the pearl to monthly book talk, We talk about books. It been some time since I been there. Pretty much close to a year. I heard of this book before and I put it on my good read list, WHAT ALICE FORGOT. Well one of the people shared her thoughts on it.

Murphy and I went into to town. Lunch at the senior center, we had beef stroganoff. Plus they had their grocery give away. It sure helps. But before we went to lunch we went over to the pharmacy and picked up my inhaler. And to library to take book back, I got thought the inter-library loan program. Plus I put a request for another book, FLIGHT. Actual our library has quite a few of Sherman Alexie. Books.

Yesterday evening I finished reading, STATUS UPDATE. I thought the layout was on the weird side. I felt the author start writing like volume 5 or something. And forgot about 1, 2, 3, and 4. At an later date I might look into, OH CANADA. Will be starting to read THE LETTERS OF FRIDA KAHLO. I plan to return Status Update on Friday. And fill out paper work to request a book from the inter-library. FLIGHT. And looks like our library only has 11 of Sherman Alexie books. Flight will be my third book by Sherman Alexie.

Start going though the coat closet. Wash up two coats. I'm leaning heavy of donating one my down coats. I got plenty of winter coats. Plus our coat closet is stuff. It been ages since I wore my London fog down coat.

Not sure if anyone else is having issue getting there mail and package delivered. I do recall a time when package only came mostly on Birthdays or Christmas. Now they come on regular bases. I plan not to order and thing on line in April. Well let get back to the mail. Our mail would come like clockwork between 11:30 AM til 12:30 PM. Now it coming who knows when. I went down to our post office here in Naples. They told me at the sorting center they been short staff. At this point they look like there is change to the POSTAL SERVICE, coming in April. I know if Trump gets his way, he would like to privatized the POST OFFICE. But our postal service is part of our Constitution, POSTAL CLAUSE. One thing I don't why some people thinks privatized is the answer to all things. Plus our postal service delivers quite a few of Amazon package. My package coming is coming by the post office. Usually my package is delivered by UPS or the Postal. Once in great while I will get something through Fed-X. I haven't yet had package delivered by Prime, part of Amazon. Thinking about it. I don't recall seeing a prime truck or van in my county. I was trying to find a more recent article about the relationship between Amazon and postal service. But for my Canadian readers, One might be interested in this ARTICLE.

Today Is Monday, March 17, 2025: This Is What Happened.

It been a little while since I've posted anything. Doing fine. Not all that much going on. I'm sure all of you know what going on with our King Trump or I like word dictator. It more fitting.

Murphy has some tonsil stone. Never heard of them. Our doctor compare them to kidney stone. She send him off to an nose ear and throat specialist. We should hear back from them in two to four weeks.

Went to senior center and they had Irish bases lunch today. Corn beef and cabbage. Afterward we stop at the store and got a few items.

The other day, ordered a few things from Amazon. Like some thumb drive. Got quite a few pictures loaded. But I think one more should cover it. Well that not quite correct. I'm actual doing up three thumb drives a picture and such. One for each of my sons, and then one for me.

.The other day, I was at our local library. Taking care of some so called financial. I might as well tell everyone in blogger land. Murphy and I are getting back some money for our state taxes. The only thing I know it over $100. I needed to get a form printed. We don't have a printer and plan not to get one.

This isn't not all what I want to talk about our local library. As many of you know. I'm an Frida Kahlo fan. Well I got three books from our local library on Frida. Brand new books! Here is the books they gave me. THE BRUSH OF ANGUISH, THE DIARY OF FRIDA KAHLO and THE LETTERS OF FRIDA KAHLO. I'm very much appreciate of these books. But in back off mind I wonder why they didn't put them on there shelves. I have my theory on why this is. It could cause an ruckus. All the books in Idaho should be like the LITTLE HOUSE SERIOUS. Confession time...I can't stand these books. “Most of the people are to sicking sweet. It just gags me.”

I wonder if they would been such a back lash. Having these books on library shelf here in Idaho. There still trying to mess with our library here in IDAHO. See there signs though the entire upstairs of our library. The sign saying no one under 18 is aloud in this area. But there libraries in Idaho isn't as lucky. They're libraries because of square feet. Could have issues separating books. I believe I post this VIDEO before. But some off the libraries could have issues comply with the law. As you one can see in the video.

Murphy and I took over some prescription over to our pharmacy. Then we went to the senior center for lunch. The last figure I could fine on how much reimbursement from the state is $3.00 a meal. But I'm thinking it more like $5.00 a meal. There suggest donation is $5.00. I'm sure there people who put more in or even less. Then there is those who puts nothing in.

The lady who is now head off it. Mention that they didn't get all off there reimbursement because illegible writing. They also get some type of reimbursement for time helping out. My hubby takes drink cart around and serves drink.

Still putting my photos on thumb drive. Going to Sandpoint tomorrow with Qunella.
