It's been a busy weekend Nicole @SpringIsHereSoHappy . Tonight I was invited by a friend to some friends of her for dinner. Since I have no kitchen currently, it was nice to have a home cooked meal that they made in their working kitchen!

I had a Good Day. A young plumber came and said my garbage disposal was blocked, put a wrench on it and it was fixed!! Then he proceeded to tell me that the old pipe under my sink needed to be replaced. He said he would probably have to cut into the stucco to get to the whole pipe. (I just painted my home) He explained that with the "economy" it is going to cost a lot because of the price of goods and labor. $1200 to begin but possibly more. Then he went to my bathroom to have it drain quicker and guess what!! That old pipe needed to be replaced as well. $600 or more if he had to replace the entire pipe. I told him "Honey, I understand the effects of the economy. I have a Master in Business Management and what I DO know is that the economy is not having a plumber come to make a minor repair & UPSELL a little ole woman with white hair! He left quickly. ๐คฃ Be on the look out for people/companies like this.

Yes Cadee @Cadee2719 , this is more of taking care of ourselves. There are things that need to be done around the house or with a car. Maybe a husband did them in the past, but now it falls on our shoulders. Every time you set up an appointment you hope that a skilled, honest person shows up, but it certainly isn't always the case. There are people out there who try to take advantage of people if they think they can get away with it. Good for you for recognizing one of them and standing your ground!

I agree. It's good to be grateful. I'm grateful the car repair place gave me a ride home. Not really happy about the expense of a repair. Or being without a car for a couple days. I must say having a Uber driver was an experience. Very nice but swift and speedy behind the wheel. Lol

I have not been able to get to the Japanese gardens lately and I've missed going. I thought I would go on Friday, but something was telling me I should go on Saturday. I went and discovered that they were having an OBON weekend where spirits of ancestors are honored. I attended a Taiko drum performance and we were invited to write notes to our loved ones who are no longer physically present on this earth with us. The notes were collected and they will be sent out tonight in floating lanterns. The tradition is done on the final day of the OBON festival and it signifies the time to let go and free the spirit.
I was comforted by the calling and the opportunity to participate in the event.

So Iโm happy to report that the personal issue
I was dealing with has resolved in a positive
manner. A huge weight has been lifted from me
and this is the best Iโve felt physically and
emotionally in years. The family drama has stopped
but only because I blocked everyone. They are
out of my life by their choice and Iโm making peace
with that. I will go on and live my life!!

It takes a lot to get me out of the house. But
yesterday I went to my youngest sonโs girlfriends
college graduation party. It was an outside affair
and I met many women my age from her family.
Almost all of them were widows and we found
we had a lot in common. It was so nice, like on
here, to be able to talk with people who
understand how you feel. We gabbed for
hours and tried some dancing to the music lol.
The food was great as well. And so proud of
Haley as well. It was, for me, the first good day
Iโve had in awhile ๐

(4 comments) Lol, people EVENTUALLY show their REAL selves over time. ๐
So GLAD I "walked away" ๐ฅณ๐ from someone I thought was my "big brother" on this site.
TODAY (6 months of knowing him) on this site he CONFIRMED my decision was the CORRECT one by his actions. ๐
Yes, talk is cheap!!/lol ๐คฃ๐
It was like WOW!!!
Where is that person I first met last November when I joined this site (2022).
Oh well, wish him and his 3 ๐๐๐ CUTE "furbabies" all the best...
Luv you ALL,
Nicole ๐ค๐ค
