You know, I’ve never heard that in my entire life, until I posted that picture here and somewhere else yesterday. Several people said it. I guess I do!

You had to ask.

For the two measley hours I was scheduled at the second store, I got a call from Brian saying he was going to the e/r. (He’s been taking his dad to the hospital and doctors almost every day lately - which is a high risk ting to do - but his dad is not doing well.

Then he said he just dropped his dad off. What? He was going to the e/r himself. He was scared and had a pain in his side since the night before that had gotten worse, and he got sick while out with his dad.

I could not leave my store. I could not even stay on the phone because I had a customer trying to sell me a collection who had already heard me cursing out the florist when he walked in lol. I could not have gone to the hospital, anyway, they make you wait outside because of Covid-19.

Yesterday from 10am to 1pm was nuts!

Turned out to be my old nemesis: kidney stones, both kidneys.

But he couldn’t keep anything down last night. I got his prescriptions, keeping an eye on him. The more he sleeps, the better.

And I have an appointment with a therapist at 10am!

Side note: they gave him a COVID test and it was negative.
Kidney stones ouch. Fun story, dh calls to me as he is walking downstairs and says guess what with a grin on his face. He puts out his hand and there is an itty bitty stone in it. Said I just peed out a kidney stone. First thought was cool because I had never seen one, and second one was did it hurt. He said he didn't know why it was hurting while he went so he pushed hard and out came the stone. He knew he still had one since he had a couple a few years back that he passed. They told him that there was still one left. Guess it finally decided to leave his body.

Hope B will be ok, and that the therapy appointment went well.

aaand bad news piling up. I'm being laid off on my longest job ever (15+ years) and replaced by a guy with a similar name (lol).
Time to see if I can get a part time job somewhere else. 500$ bucks a month isn't much for the states but for Mexico is it a decent amount to pay additional bills.
If I had the money I'd hire you as my full time computer tech and part time photographer. best of luck my friend

On my way to work (first location) I got a text from my cousin Maria asking if I wanted to FaceTime. So for just about a minute, I was able to see Grandma. I even took a screenshot. My mother and brother were in the background trying to get into the shot where I could see them, and I was just ignoring them and trying not to even look. My mother was saying something like, "I had to include you" or some lame garbage. Too little, too late, too often.

I texted a bit with Maria and found out my flowers were not there. Called the place, and apparently the chosen vendor canceled the order because they didn't have the specific arrangement I ordered.

F.U.R.I.O.U.S.

That poor woman on the phone heard more bad words than you can think of. I'm not there, my flowers aren't there, my card isn't there.

How the heck didn't they just call me and say, "pick a different arrangement?" You have one job! It's for a wake, my God!

They wanted to deliver it to someone's house afterwards. Umm...no. I got a refund, but that's the last thing I wanted. I wanted them to bring some freaking flowers to the service before it was over. By this time, it was 20 minutes to over. So, so mad.

Then my cousin Kathy messaged me. She was on her way to the cemetery. (So I had some concept of what was going on and when.) This is the cousin about whose kid my brother was so "concerned." The first thing she said was, "I wish you could have come."

The three of us were "the kids" back in the 70's. Kathy and I especially were always together. We are the same age for the month of July, and then I pull ahead in August. Here's a pic, I had to be about 4 or 5? I just graduated from either what they called "Library School" or Kindergarten. Can't remember right now. Some of my best memories are the two of us playing at Grandma's. Here are Grandma, Kathy, and myself.

I had no contact with my mother, brother, or sister. So Kathy and Maria made this a little less awful for me.
The like is because of your sweet cousins and you look so much like your grandmother. Be well my friend xoxo

I spent part of the morning tearing apart my house looking for canning jars. I mean up in the attic, out in the garage and even in the boys closets then I remembered due to the current situation I never got any of the jars back from what was given out at Christmas:banghead::banghead::banghead: What is inside the jar is a gift, the jar itself is a loaner:D Guess I'm going to have to pick up several dozen jars this week:banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

We'll do an outdoor distancing gathering on Sunday instead, but, at least it's somethin', and we'll all be "together"...!!!!! :inlove::)
Happy Anniversary to @donaldtoo parents!! You raised a great group of children. :)
