I remembered again. Here's hoping I actually post this at a reasonable time.
In my local paper this week, there was an article about 'social isolation', like that's a bad thing. I read the article out loud of Hubs, and we laughed and laughed. Yeah, we show most of the signs of this so-called bad thing called social isolation. Know what? We don't care. ROFL
Speaking of social, I ran errands yesterday. I spoke to several people - the pharmacy gal, the bank chick, the postmaster, the chick at the library, the gal at the thrift store and the one at the DG. The day before I did Walmart and the feed store, and I was my chatty self at those places, too. See? I'm social. Unfortunately, my social tank is now empty and I will happily go without seeing another person besides Hubs for at least a week. Whew.
Speaking of the post office, I actually wasn't there to harangue the postmaster about our shitty service. I went there to verify my identity so I would be able to access my own damn information on the Social Security website. The postmaster didn't think I could do that at that location. He even went to a different location himself, just last week. Anyway, it turns out I can do it there, but I needed to bring an email code they should've sent me when I signed up for the site. Except I don't remember getting any damn email code. Gah.
As for the library, I went there to prove I was who I said I was because my Hoopla has been out since the end of June, and I figured it was a thing with my local library. When I signed up with Hoopla, they did kinda hint that I should stop by my local library to finish the process, but I never did. So, when my Hoopla went tits up, that's what I figured had happened. Nope. My local library system is no longer providing Hoopla. It's too expensive or some such rot. The gal had some suggestions - like inter-library loan of DVDs of programs. 1) I never did set up my DVD player. 2) I don't get to that town often enough to not incur late fees on borrowed library items. :shrug: I'll be trying to connect through another library for my Hoopla fix.
ARGH! Sawyer just filled the litterbox. Man, can that boy poop. His new name is StinkyButt. (Not really, but you know how it goes.)
I did my yearly fall earlier this week. Don't ask. Anyway, I have some interesting bruises on my thigh and my upper arm. I told Hubs he needs to start calling me Gracie Lardass. (It's French - Lar D'ass.) Anyway, nothing's broken. To borrow a phrase from Toy Story... I'm into 'falling with style'.
Okay, that ought to be enough for anyone. Have a great day wherever you are. Peace out.
Well, you've had an eventful week. And all that peopling! I'm really sorry about the Hoopla SNAFU. I hope it's not FUBAR'd. I'm lucky to have a huge library system so Hoopla is a given. They also have the "Libby" app for ebooks and audio books so I don't have go jump through hoops to get stuff on my Kindle or Audible app.
ReplyDeleteI don't remember having to verify who I am for SS at either the PO or elsewhere. Of course, it's been a few years.
Not much going on here. I finally remembered to tie in book marketing with real life,, ie. the blood moon eclipse tonight. I spent the morning designing a graphic. We'll see if it does any good. I so totally suck at marketing. I mean, seriously, talk about social isolation!
Jake is still with me. His time is drawing closer, though. He's getting weaker, less interested in food, and sleeps almost all the time. Every morning, we wake up and wonder if he'll still be breathing. Is it terrible that I hope he goes in his sleep like Pete and Boone did? The thought of sitting with him while he takes his last breath hurts my heart so much. I've done that with too many in my life.
Anyway, sorry for the downer. As I said, not much else going on around here. I'm listening to "chicken soup" books. I made myself go to Walmart instead of ordering delivery.
I wish it would rain. I've given up on any sort of relief from the temps. I'd just be happy with wet stuff.
Okay. I need lunch and it's time to see if Jake will "Eat mor chiken". Later, gator.
:HUGS: No, it's not terrible. It's a kinder, gentler thing for all of you. And I wished the same thing for Kira. Hang in there, sweetie. Thanks for stopping by when you've got so many other things on your mind. :HUGS:
