I found a good stash of music to put on my mp3 player... surprisingly it was only $20.52

The next payday at work isn't until the 16th... so I should be okay with the minimalist approach for now.

Got my first real phone call on my new phone from a very dear long time friend.  I bought a new smart phone, my first, they used to be called "Jitterbug", now it's "Lively".  A phone made for old spazzes like me.  I can see pictures that are sent to me. It has big numbers for easier dialing (then my old trac phone) and an easier set up to see my gmail and get internet.   8)  Plus I can receive and send phone calls from the black hole of phones, aka walmart.  Yay me getting into the modern era.   :laugh:

Oh yeah, and kudos to the Geek squad at Best Buy in Newington NH who got me thru this process,   :2thumbsup:

The daughter came to visit.

Surprised?

I am often surprised by visits.

Feel put out at times to just have to answer the cell. My time, please! Then a visit.

Some of my favorite times have come after almost not even looking at the cell.

Hope all is well.

Dropping one kid off at work today, daybreak, Sunday morning, no traffic at all.

I pulled into where I used to get physical therapy after seeing the building under renovation, with curiosity and all the cats that follow, I HAD to stop and peep some.

A moment of dumpster inspection revealed many machines for weight training, treadmills and much junk. But, I found a 1250LB rated dolly with a pipe welded to it just thrown away. At first I just wanted to salvage the casters, but after the first tug I realized I could just release the entire thing  from the tangled pile and cut the pipe off later. Done.

We are moving soon and the gods just gifted me a VERY sturdy dolly!

It was such a shitty weld job, I busted the pipe off with a chisel.
I plan to put a wooden topper on it for the move.

ALL of my last three years worth of visits have ALL been surprises. VERY Welcome surprises, but WAY out there AWAY from anything Expected at the time. Always feels so "re-Built" after a needed visit.

Kind of glad I'm not the only one.

Pretty sure though that my family has stopped growing for now. Reeling to see how my sons have fared.
Loving the fact that we have managed to make contact at all.

Today I had a new muffler and exhaust fitted on my car. When I went out to the car from the waiting room I was surprised to see a twin exhaust! Much cooler than the tiny, rusted one I had before. Also a lot quieter. :)

I'm glad I matter, somehow. She wants to talk to her mother, a lot of the time, but I think I have my unique place, and I'm glad. I'm proud of the way she turned out, proud of what she's become. And she's so very sharp.

I was going to troll them... but I also don't want to stoop to their level. FUCK THEIR CONTROL!

Nice!

Similar with my own daughter. She has begun to "feel" a bit of the strong stock within her (from whence she bound) and seems to be making headway. I am very proud.

Her agoraphobia has its place and caution is a result I approve. With her getting out there more; I am almost in tears at times.
She has tried to move out twice and has not made it, yet.
Believe it or not the dog helps.

Still popcorn time here, though.
