Adorable! Aren't dogs great? I couldn't do without mine.

Today I will be the caregiver. Usually my husband is for me, but today he is getting a colonoscopy. He thinks he is going to go about usual afterwards taking care of the family. Wrong. Today is my turn to take care. It will be good for the soul.

@Recovery4Me No problem! You do it for everyone else! And I care.

@Recovery4Me Oh I am so sorry that happened to you. You don't deserve that!!

@gizmo Thank you for your support. Not much I can do at this point. Plus they said they can't begin until next spring because of the ground. Though I am not sure if that includes the work that needs to be done on the inside. All this chaos. I'm trying to make the best of it. Bought candles for...

@SheilaKathy I'm so sorry to hear this. Just remember we all make mistakes. We learn from them. I hope things get better for you.

@SheilaKathy Oh so sorry to hear that! I hope they survive. @Anrish Thank you. What can I do? I was more upset when they told us the first amount. I guess I had time to adjust. Still isn't going to get done soon. Oh well, you do what you have to. I'm sorry about your finger and your sadness...

I picked up a wool blend, blackwatch plaid coat at Macy's for me. It was on sale and less then the one I am returning. Also it fits!

I am feeling rather good even though I got disappointing news. Turns out my septic problem is going to cost me thousands more. I'm trying not to let it effect my mood. Nothing I can do about it.

I'm feeling better about my financial situation. Still don't have the $10000 I need for a new septic mound and probably won't have it for a long time. But I am not overwhelmed. I cancelled a couple orders I didn't really need and returned a coat that was a little too snug on me. I'm feeling more...

@TXbandit That's what I thought!

I bought 6 yankee candles online from Kohl's. The come in large glass jars. Some doofus thought it was a good idea to wrap each in thin bubble wrap and ship it in a plastic bag. Needless to say, four were broken. Now I have to take them back to the store to get credit. I'm keeping them wrapped...

@Recovery4Me My aunt suggested calling the housing authority. On their website there were two sites that help with loans or cost and we might be able to qualify. I'm hoping we do. I left messages, now I am waiting to hear back. We aren't in the flood zone, though we are near wetlands, so...

@Cashew This is a plumber we know that my husband use to work with. So we trust him. We are living paycheck to paycheck right now and can't add another loan. Caught in a hard spot. And now my son's car is not working again. When it rains it pours. We will get through this. It just takes time...

I feel overwhelmed. Just found out our flooded basement is going to cost $10000 to fix and we just don't have that kind of money. I do not know what to do but pray. It has to get better.

Over the years we have had flooding in our basement, from showers, rain, washing clothes. This year is the worse. We just got an estimate and it is $10000 and a new mound for septic. Where am I suppose to get the money for that? This mess is just crazy.

Absolutely, positively finished my Christmas shopping. I am rather pleased with myself. Makes my husband happy too! lol

I bought a duffel bag for my son for Christmas. First I bought one online for store pickup. Went to pick it up and it was definitely too small for an athletic bag, so I returned it. Went and found a bigger one. It was more expensive, but it will be what he wanted. He's worth it.

Have some errands to run today. The dogs get taken to the groomers. I'm so so about this groomer because of their attitude and prices, but I couldn't get them into the groomer I do like before Christmas.

I bought myself some candles.

It was a strange day. I usually do most of my shopping on black friday, but I had it all done before today. Just bought some little things for the critters. Feels odd. Slept in today. I never sleep in. Overall it was a positive day, just a little strange.

Getting ready for Thanksgiving in spurts. Found out I had to take my son in to the dentist for a cleaning. Want to lie down, but just got a latte. So I will sit up for awhile.

@Cashew I did. Thank you!

I am grateful to all the women(and the men, but especially the women) who went before me and won me my freedoms. Just saw the movie, Suffragettes. Has me feeling empowered.

@Anrish that's not a good sign. Your family is in my prayers.
