Hello moon_beam. Sunny and cooler (73 after the rain) I hope this finds you doing well. I'm glad Buster came by for a visit and hope he and Bonnie are doing OK.
So, Meijer called and left VMs (pretty nasty ones too) wanting, nay, demanding to know where where we are

What? You didn't see the badges on the desk? Jerks.
This morning we went to the old place first thing to feed those waifs, but I didn't see any. Still, I will continue my efforts. Then we went to Walmart for a few things for a meals the next few days. Then to Aldi to get seltzer water. They had the lemon and the lime but were still out of grapefruit, a favorite for us both

Oh well.
Looking at the start date of this thread, I realized I missed a milestone on the 21st. The 8 year anniversary of bringing Tang home Can't believe it's been that long. Speaking of my baby boy, he's had his supper and will get his shot and treats later when I put the food out for the local waifs.
I hope today has been kind to you and that you have a comfortable evening in the company of your precious fur-ever angels. Peace and blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny warm 90-ish Tuesday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.
I can imagine your and Anne's aggravation about the message from Meijers, but the good news is that you both have new jobs beginning today for Anne and tomorrow for you. YEA!!!!! And I know the waifs at your previous residence sincerely appreciate your and Anne's continued provisioning on their behalf. I know your precious Tang is grateful for every moment of every hour of every day of every year he has with you and Anne.
I had started to log in yesterday to post but got distracted by something or another and then didn't realize until this morning when I woke up that I had failed. Still I hope you, your precious boy, and Anne had a wonderful holiday yesterday. Today I made the decision to transfer my cell phone service to US Cellular. They are not planning on dumping their basic service anytime soon because it is still popular among the non-techi population. It will be a basic LG flip phone and will arrive at the store tomorrow. So tomorrow afternoon I will begin the process of having my number ported over from Net10. The down side - - and there's always a down side - - is that my monthly charges will be double with US Cellular than what I was having to pay for Net10. Oh well - - can't have everything. The most important part of this transaction is that I will no longer have to deal with "smart phone" technology. And that in itself will be a relief. When everything is set up I am planning on returning this smart phone to Net 10 and hope I will get some kind of a credit toward my credit card. When I got back from the store I had a voice mail from my brother requesting Scarlet to stay with me next week while he and my sister in law are visiting her mom at the rehab facility. Beautiful Bonnie came for a visit early this morning to say hello before going on her daily rounds, and sweet Buster is with me as I'm writing to you.
As always, Tracy, it's a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, my friend, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the warm spring evening temperatures. I hope you, your precious boy, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang and Anne. Please know you, your precious boy, and Anne are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to knowing how you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne are doing, along with the community waifs, and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas and princess Theresa.

Hello moon_beam. Sunny and hot (88) greetings to you. I hope you are well.
Sorry to be brief, but still wanted you to know I'm OK, broadly defined. Anne started today. I was supposed to start tomorrow but not now. All I get is stonewalling about how they need the approval of my manager on the client side and can't track her down? Translation? I never had the job and it was all a big mistake but I've been to orientation and signed all the paperwork. So, it's too late, legally, to rescind the offer and now they are hoping I'll get discouraged and go away. Sorry but, I really cant even continue this thread and am not sure I'll be back.
I hope you, Buster and Bonnie are well.

Hi, Tracy, sunny forecasted to be another humid 90-ish Wednesday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in reasonably good spirits.
I am so sorry you're having HR problems with your new job. This is very aggravating to say the least and discouraging all around. Is the manager on vacation or family leave? I cannot imagine why the manager's supervisor - - or another supervisor - - could not sign the paperwork to allow you to begin your job. There has to be a way to get around this obstacle. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers that this situation can be resolved quickly. Please let us know how you're doing.

Hi, Tracy, sunny humid 80-ish Thursday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.
Thank you so much for sharing with us how things are with you. Am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers that the HR problem with McKesson can be resolved much sooner than later. I'm so very glad you have Anne to be an advocate on your behalf. Please let us know how things are going.
I have signed up for cell phone service with Consumer Cellular and should be receiving the phone hopefully by tomorrow so that the porting process of my existing number can begin. I like the phone as it's especially designed to be user friendly for the non-techi senior citizen. For the monthly unlimited talk and text I will only pay $19 a month which includes a 5 percent AARP discount - - I renewed my AARP membership just to receive that discount. So I'm looking forward to getting this issue resolved. I'll let you know how things go. Haven't seen Bonnie or Buster yet today but may see them later on this afternoon.

Hi, Tracy, sunny warm 80-ish T G I F greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.
Just checking in with you to let you know I'm thinking about you and hoping that you're doing okay while you're waiting for your start date at McKesson. I can sympathize with your situation as I experienced a similar situation "back in the day" when I was employed - - between employers. Murphy's Law "if anything can go wrong it will" certainly applied but it did eventually get straightened out and I began the new job I had been promised but was in jeopardy because of sudden "job freezes" put in place by the employer the very day I had been offered the job - - unbeknownst to the interviewing supervisor. Whatever the circumstances are in your specific situation I'm hoping they will be resolved so that you can begin your job soon. Please let us know how you're doing.
All is quiet here on the condo complex front. Haven't seen Bonnie or Buster yet today but may see them later on.

I still have no start date as of today. So it's to the plasma clinic tomorrow and started a go fund me. I got a call from computer share and hopefully will find more about that Monday. At this point, not even sure how rent will be paid. Probably be evicted. So if you don't hear from me for a while, that's why.

Hi, Tracy, sunny pleasant 70-ish Caturday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.
Oh Tracy, I am soooooooooo sorry you're having to go through this trial. I have been through financial crises so I do have a pretty good idea the apprehension, uncertainty, fear you're going through right now. I am so glad you have Anne and your precious Tang to comfort and encourage you. I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers that your employment situation will be resolved quickly. Please let us know how things go.
Buster came by for a brief visit earlier this afternoon but left to go out on his visit rounds. Haven't seen Bonnie yet today but may see her later today.

Hello moon_beam. Sunny and very warm (82) greetings to you. Hope you are well. Glad to hear Buster came by and hope he and Bonnie are doing OK.
I didn't feel well this morning, so the plasma clinic was out. I guess we will do that tomorrow. All re really did was go out to get gas to use up my Kroger points before they expire.
We did take Tang out in his harness here on the grassy area in the back of the apartment property. He was a bit nervous, but seemed to like it overall. At least he's doing well. Can't say the same for me

Hi, Tracy, sunny pleasant 70-ish Sunday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.
My friend, I can imagine how overwhelming the stress is for you right now, and it is no wonder you're not feeling well because of it. I know things look bleak to you right now - - but please hang in here because your precious Tang and Anne need you. I'm glad you were able to get out with Anne for a bit yesterday, and that your precious Tang enjoyed some quality family time with you and Anne outside getting some fresh air in his lungs and some sunshine on his face. Please know you continue to be in my thoughts and prayers that your employment situation will change for the better very soon. Please let us know how things go.
Not much happening here today. I received my new cell phone yesterday - - a flip phone from Consumer Cellular. After much communication with Consumer Cellular and Net 10 with finally a Consumer Cellular supervisor taking control of the fiasco, the transfer of my Net 10 phone number finally began yesterday evening and finished early this morning. So now I can return the "smart phone" to Net 10 and hopefully get a refund to my credit card. So we'll see how long Consumer Cellular continues with its "non smart phone" cell phone service. Haven't seen Bonnie or Buster yet today but may see them later on.
Tracy, thank you so much for sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep Tux Jr, Little Tux, White Cat, Bobtail, Little Gray, Little Bit, Tweak, Princess, Dulcinea, Butters, Fluffy, Ferdinand, and all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the warming spring evening temperatures. I hope you, your precious boy, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang and Anne.

Hello moon_beam. Sunny and warm (82) greetings to you. I hope yo are well. Sorry you haven't seen Bonnie or Buster and hope they are OK too. Glad to hear you got your phone sorted out finally.
We didn't do much today. Went to feed the waifs at the old place and saw a new black and white kitty and Little Gray as we were leaving. From there we went downtown to the plasma clinic but were told they were not sure they could take new donors today and even if they could it would be at least 4 hours. So no 50.00 each there today. Since we were downtown and it was nice we took a walk down to the river. I like being close to large bodies of water I guess.
Tang seems to be doing OK, and soon it will be time for his supper, shot and treats as well as food for the local waifs. I hope you have a good evening in the company of your fur-ever angels.

Hi, Tracy, sunny delightfully pleasant 70-ish Monday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.
How nice you and Anne saw Little Gray and another black and white kitty during your provisioning at your previous residence. I know they appreciate your continued care for them. I'm hoping you will hear something positive today regarding employment, Tracy. Please let us know how you're doing.
Spoke with a Net 10 rep this morning to find out how to return the Android phone. When I received the Android phone from Net 10 I pulled the shipping label from the box and discarded it. Turns out that had the return postage and instructions on it. So the Net 10 rep gave me the shipping address to return the phone. I had to pay $10.40 to ship it back USPS with a tracking number. Oh well - -. I was able to return the case and stylus pen I got for it from Amazon through Amazon's website which provided a UPS shipping label for $5.99 taken out the refund I will get. So at least this stuff is taken care of. I really like my flip phone from Consumer Cellular. Scarlet arrived this morning. She's on top of the cabinets over the stove in the kitchen as I'm writing to you. I know she is already counting down the minutes, hours, and days when she'll be back home with her mom and dad.
Tracy, it's always a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well.

Hello moon_beam. Sunny and warm (79) greetings. Hope you are well. Sorry you lost the shipping label to return your phone but at least you have that out of the way now. Sorry to hear Scarlet isn't adjusting too well. I imagine she doesn't like being uprooted like that so regularly. Hopefully she will feel better soon. I hope Bonnie and Buster are doing OK too.
So, he Computer Share job doesn't start until 07/08 (Same with GE) I do have a face to face with the former 06/13. In the mean time the only thing I can think of is Labor Works - general labor temp paid daily. It's kind of seedy, but what else can I do? Not like I have anything valuable I can sell.
Tang seems to be well. He's napped in the living room and the kitchen most of the day. I hope you've had a good day and will have a good evening as well.

Hi, Tracy, sunny pleasant 70-ish Tuesday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.
I'm very glad to share your news that you have potential job prospects on the horizon. I know a month seems like a long way off, and when you're in financial straits it seems like an eternity. I hope you're able to find day labor that is suitable to your physical abilities and skills - - preferably you're not having to do construction labor. Please let us know how things go.
Today has been busy working on financials and getting all the paperwork organized from the cellphone stuff. I really like my new cellphone - - it's just what I want - - just something I can have with me when I'm out on the road in case I need to call AAA or other assistance. Was able to visit with Bonnie and Buster yesterday evening when I took their mom's and dad's mail over to them. Scarlet is doing better today - - she's finally eating and using her latrine - - neither of which she did yesterday as she was waiting for her mom and dad to come back and take her home. Today I opened the small window in the dining area so that she could get up in the window and get some fresh air. She has enjoyed that.
My friend, thank you so much for sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the spring evening temperatures.

Hello moon_beam. Sunny and warm (79) greetings. I hope you are well. Glad to hear Scarlet's settling in today and nice to hear you got to visit with both Bonnie and Buster. I hope they're doing OK too.
So, we went down to Labor Works after Anne got off....how shall I put this? I've seen hard core prisons on reality TV that were less scary looking. Anne said she'd fear for my safety in such an environment, and I couldn't really argue. So I guess it's back to the plasma clinic and the first time donor wait. Per their fee schedule one can make 400.00 per month going 2X a week. Hopefully between that and her wages we'll squeak by until I can get a job. The only call I got from RemX today was cease and desist reaching out to other people

Jerks.
Tang seems to be doing OK though. He's had his supper and shot and will get his treats later when I put the food out for the waifs. I have not seen Dulcinea in 2 weeks and Tweak and Butters only sporadically. I hope they're all OK
I hope you've had a good day and that the evening will be good too.

Hi, Tracy, rainy damp 70-ish Wednesday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.
I'm so glad you and Anne were able to visit the Labor Works facility and determine it is definitely NOT the right place for you. Was this an employment opportunity - - or a day labor possibility? I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers that you're able to find suitable employment very soon, my friend. And - - if I may ask - - why would Remx demand you stop reaching out to other people? - - For job referrals? How absurd!! You have every right to use whatever avenues are available to you to find a job, my friend. Please let us know how things go.
I finally have an appointment next week for a TV antenna contractor - - 6/11. I'm hoping this rep will come prepared to do the job. I'll be glad when this is finally taken care of. Scarlet is being a little bit more friendly today - - especially since I'm not absorbed in working on financials and getting things organized from slaving with cell phone issues. She let me brush her a little bit this morning which she likes and seems to help soothe her troubled spirit. Not much else happening around the condo complex today.
Tracy, as always it's a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well.

Hello moon_beam. Sunny and hot (87) greetings. I hope you're well. Glad to hear Scarlet is doing better and I hope Buster and Bonnie are doing OK too.
RemX wanted me to stop emailing other people within the company, even though that's what Anne's manager suggested I do. I'm sure they'd love me to take another job so they can cover up what ever they messed up on my on boarding. Just got done at Randstad. They just wanted to scan my IDs to get me back into their system. Labor Works was to be temp labor. But, like I said, it was scary looking.
Tang was well when I left, and I'm just waiting on Anne to come pick me up
I hope you've had a good day and a good evening as well.

Hi, Tracy, cloudy 80-ish Thursday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.
I'm glad you have acquired the services of another agency to help you in your job search. Not trying to rub salt into a very open and sore wound - - may I ask how Anne is doing in her job? Is she also looking for another position with you? Please let us know how things go.
My brother called to let me know that he and my sister in law are detained at her mom's home because it's proving harder to set up private duty services than they expected. I went through the same challenges with my mom, which is why I knew I couldn't stay in my lovely little home in the woods because of the "inconvenience" to service providers were I to need them. Hence, my move last summer to Bedford. So they will probably not be back until sometime on Saturday, which means she probably won't be going back home until Sunday afternoon. That's okay - - I'm happy to keep her - - but she misses her mom and dad very much and frequently lets me know I'm a poor substitute for them - - which I perfectly understand. It's been noisy here today as well with the festivities at the Bedford D-Day Memorial - - military planes flying over. The Vice President is here making an appearance to give a speech at the memorial as well. A good day to be away from the mainstream of activity - - wherever that may be. Haven't seen Bonnie or Buster yet today but hope to see them later on if their mom and dad have mail.
Tracy, thank you so much for sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the spring evening temperatures.

Hello moon_beam. cloudy and warm (76) greetings to you. I hope you are well. Glad to hear that Scarlet is settling in, but sorry for the delay of her folks. I hope Buster and Bonnie are doing OK as well.
To answer your question, Anne's not enamored with the job to say the least. A combination of the "culture" and how they've messed me over (she agrees with me now that I will probably never be placed, of if I am it will be after I've taken another job) We both have interviews with Computer Share next Thursday though. I hope we both get it even though it doesn't start until 07/08 (sigh) But between her wages and us both going to the plasma clinic 2X a week, hopefully we'll get by. I did get a 25.00 donation on my FB fund raiser from a former co-worker too.
Tang seems to be doing well and has had his supper. I will get his shot and treats after while as well as food for the local waifs. I hope you've had a good day and will have a pleasant evening as well.

Hi, Tracy, rainy humid 70-ish T G I F greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.
It's wonderful to share your news that you and Anne have job interviews next Thursday to look forward to. I am keeping you both in my thoughts and prayers that this will go much smoother. Please let us know how things go.
Buster came visiting late this morning much to Scarlet's dislike. All he wants to do is visit through the window but Scarlet will have nothing to do with it while fully venting her displeasure of his presence. It's a good thing there are two panes of glass between them - - poor Buster would be ripped to shreds if Scarlet could actually physically attack him. I was able to visit with precious Buster for a few minutes yesterday when I took his mom's and dad's mail over to them. I'm hoping to be able to see him under similar pleasant circumstances later on if his mom and dad get mail today.
Tracy, it's always a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the warm spring evening temperatures.

Hello moon_beam. Cloudy and warm (75) greetings to you. I hope you are well. Sorry Buster agitated Scarlet. I hope she's doing better. I also hope Buster and Bonnie are doing OK.
Yes, the interview next week is encouraging. But how to make it until then is the issue. I still only have the one donation on my FB fundraiser, so I shared it again this time public, not just friends only. I was thinking about reaching out to other groups on and off FB to see if it would be OK to post there. That's how bad it's gotten
On a better note, Tang seems to be doing better but he's almost out of Iams so that will have to be replenished soon. He has had his supper and shot and I will give him his treats later when I provision the local waifs.
I hope today has been a good one for you and that your evening is pleasant as well with you fur-ever angels watching over you. Peace and blessings.

Hi, Tracy, rainy damp 60-ish Caturday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.
I'm so sorry your and Anne's financial situation is so tenuous right now, Tracy. I do understand so very well how worrisome this is. I hope expanding your "go fund me" outreach will provide you better support. Please let us know how things go.
Poor Buster - - he's such a good natured fellow. It hurts me to see Scarlet so aggressively rebuff his visits through the window. I wish Scarlet's personality was more like his and Bonnie's - - very congenial. But sadly, this is not the case which is why Bonnie and Buster must remain outside when Scarlet is here. I didn't see Bonnie or Buster yesterday as their mom and dad were out doing errands when the mail arrived. Maybe today.
Tracy, as always it's a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the warm spring evening temperatures. I hope you, your precious boy, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang and Anne. Please know you, your precious boy, and Anne are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to knowing how you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne are doing, along with the community waifs, and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas and princess Theresa.
Peace and blessings,

Hello moon_beam. Rainy Caturday greetings to you. I hope you're well. I too feel for poor Buster that he and Bonnie can't come visit. I hope they're otherwise doing OK. And I hope Scarlet is doing better, the "visits" not withstanding.
Thank you for your support and prayers during this difficult time for us. Other than the 25.00 on FB from a former co-worker that fund raiser has gone nowhere. But, a grade/middle school classmate of mine for Phoenix reached out to me on FB about a week ago. After reading our story on my FB feed, he wired 100.00 directly to my bank account via FB messenger. So that's good. What wasn't is when we went to the plasma clinic this morning, Anne was told her veins are "not suitable" for donation

which neither of us understands given she's donated whole blood before. But I was allowed and got 60.00 as a first timer and can go back for more next week. Finally got the notice from the leasing office: Pay up with late fees by the 14th or get out. Anne will have another check by then, so with that, the base of what I've been holding back in my account (including the mentioned donation from my classmate) and the my plasma donations, we should be able to do it. Really hope Computer Share works out for us.
Tang is well and has had his supper, and shot. I'll given him his treats after while when I put food out for the local waifs (glad I bought that huge bag of dry from Walmart before all this hit)
I hope you've had a good day and will have a comfortable evening watched over by your beloved fur-ever angels. Blessings.

Hi, Tracy, cloudy drizzly humid 70-ish Sunday evening greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.
I'm very glad you and Anne are formulating a plan to bring your rent up to date. I'm sure you and Anne have already researched this - - I have been wondering if there are any organizations in your area that you and Anne could reach out to for assistance. In this area there are a couple of social service organizations who help people who are in a financial bind with rent, utilities, gas for the car, food, etc.. I don't want you, your precious Tang, and Anne to find yourselves homeless. I am keeping each of you in my thoughts and prayers that you will be able to meet your rent and other financial obligations, AND that your jobs with Computer Share will be good jobs for the both of you. Please let us know how things go.
Scarlet went home this afternoon but not without a fight. The first attempt to get her corralled into her crate was a miserable failure causing her a lot of stress. So my brother and sister in law left to get some lunch. While they were gone I calmly talked to Scarlet to let her know that everything was okay. She eventually came out of hiding in my bedroom and got up on the settee next to me while I brushed her, which further helped to soothe her frustrated spirit. I closed the door to my bedroom so that she couldn't go back and hide in there. While I was brushing her my brother called to check on her and I told him she was in a better frame of mind, so when I saw him parking his car in the parking area I was able to pick up Scarlet and put her in her crate with only mild protests. She wanted to go home - - she just doesn't like getting into the crate. And she doesn't respond to food or treat enticement / bribery. So in the future when they come to pick her up I will close my bedroom door so that she can't hide under the bed. Buster did come to visit with me for awhile. He thoroughly checked out everything and eventually settled down on the cushion in the chair at the big computer desk to take a nap. He left to go home a little while ago. I just saw beautiful Bonnie heading out on her evening rounds.
Tracy, thank you so much for sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the spring evening temperatures. I hope you, your precious boy, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang and Anne. Please know you, your precious boy, and Anne are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to knowing how you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne are doing, along with the community waifs, and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas and princess Theresa.

Hello moon_beam. Rainy day greetings to you. I hope you're well. Sorry to hear about the fuss with Scarlet. But I'm confused. She's your bother and wife's cat. Why did they leave to go have lunch leaving you to be the "bad guy" with poor Scarlet? I'd think she'd trust them more in regard to getting ready to go home. I am glad Buster came by for a visit and you saw Bonnie too. I hope they're both doing OK.
I did look into Neighborhood Place in regard to getting help with the rent and Anne's income would disqualify us (and trust me you don't want to lie in regard to public assistance) Plus I have a feeling Pebble Creek doesn't participate with the program. In regard to the utilities, even though the electric bill is 5 days over due I still have not gotten a disconnection notice. And I've been checking online everyday. When I finally do I will inquire when I set up a payment plan about where to get help since I've moved since last time I got that help from MUSCL.
Tang seems to be doing OK though. He's had his supper and shot and will get his treats when I provision the local waifs. I hope you've had a good day and that you have a comfortable evening watched over by your beloved fur-ever angels. Blessings.

Hi, Tracy, cloudy humid 80-ish Monday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.
It's hard trying to get legitimate assistance when your income is "more" than what is allowed. It seems to me that a disqualification should be based on multiple factors. I'm keeping you, your precious Tang, and Anne in my thoughts and prayers that you will come through this financial crisis okay. Please let us know how you're doing.
My sister in law is diabetic so she was needing to get something to eat which is why they left. So instead of three people trying to coax Scarlet out of hiding to be put in her crate, the silence in the condo helped her to calm down. I didn't mind being left alone with her, particularly to try to be the one to comfort and soothe her from a very stressful event. My brother was the only one who came back to pick her up, so there was less confusion and commotion for Scarlet to deal with.
Today I had my routine dental exam. With the exception of the sensitivity issue with my teeth and gums, everything else checked out okay. Tomorrow the contractor is supposed to be here to install an antenna for my TV's - - one in the living room area and one in my bedroom. I'm hoping he will come prepared with the proper equipment. Buster has come to visit twice today. He had been taking a nap on the cushion on the chair to the big computer desk for awhile but left a few minutes ago. Sunbeams are actually showing through the clouds so he's out and about for his late afternoon rounds. I saw Bonnie a few minutes ago in the bushes at the top of the embankment at the far end of the common parking area.
Tracy, it's always a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the warm spring evening temperatures. I hope you, your precious boy, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang and Anne. Please know you, your precious boy, and Anne are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to knowing how you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne are doing, along with the community waifs, and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas and princess Theresa.

Hello moon_beam. Sunny and warm (75) greetings to you. I hope you are doing well. Good to hear about the dental check up, and hope all goes well the the antenna install tomorrow. How nice that Buster paid you 2 visits. I hope he and Bonnie are doing OK.
So, 2 interesting things happened to today. I got a call out of the blue from the original RemX recruiter. Said she got and email from the client asking if I was still available (Anne did say her manager tried reaching out to the onsite RemX person and got no response.) And I'm "well, yeah" (duh) So that proves it's all on the RemX side and not McKesson. I think she was hoping I'd accepted another offer and they could get out of their questionably illegal treatment of me. The recruiter got a catch in her voice after a audible pause when I said I was still available. Anne will reinforce this tomorrow with her manager in case they try to lie to the client and say I took another job.
The other thing was (well more of a good thing) is I got 75.00 for my 2nd plasma donation today. I guess there are higher rates for new people. So between Saturday and today makes 135.00 for about 5 hours of work, as it were.
Tang met us at the door when got home. He's had his supper and shot and will get his treats later when I provision the local waifs. None of whom I've seen lately

But it's getting eaten.
I hope you had a good day today and will have a good evening as well in the company of your fur-ever angels. Blessings.

Hi, Tracy, beautiful delightful sunny 70-ish Tuesday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.
I'm glad you got a call yesterday regarding the job opportunity at McKesson, and am very glad you have discovered the problem has been with the recruiter rather than the employer. This sheds a whole new light on the experience. So, does this mean that you'll be getting your job at McKesson after all - - providing of course you still want it. I'm also glad you're receiving more income from the plasma donations than what you had anticipated. More is always better. I hope this will better help your and Anne's financial situation. Please let us know how things go.
The antenna contractor was here around 10:15 a.m. and I now have antenna TV service - - yea!!!! The only local channels I can't get are with PBS, but I have them through my Roku box so that isn't a problem. I have more local channels now than I did with cable TV, and not having to pay for the few local channels the cable service provided is a huge help. I have applied some of the savings toward an upgrade in my internet service - - which I would rather have better internet speed than cable TV. So that has worked out very well. After the contractor left I was able to take the cable boxes back to the cable provider's office, and pick up my WalMart order and prescription refill. Buster has come to visit and is on the cushion in the chair to the big computer desk taking a nap. He always brightens my day when he comes to visit.
Tracy, as always it's a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the warm spring evening temperatures. I hope you, your precious boy, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang and Anne. Please know you, your precious boy, and Anne are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to knowing how you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne are doing, along with the community waifs, and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas and princess Theresa.

Hello moon_beam. Sunny and warm (77) greetings to you. I hope you are doing well. Glad to hear your new antenna is working out for you in your viewing choices. Glad to hear buster came by too and hope he and Bonnie are doing OK.
I have a phone interview tomorrow directly with McKesson, but It seems it's for the other site way across town. In researching this, Anne told me April (her manager) said I should email the job code to her which I did. In those exchanges she said she reached out to RemX again and was told I'b been claimed by another group (right) She replied that she needs people and I'm anxious to start. So, we'll see what happens. If nothing else, it'll poison the well with McKesson and RemX. Good.
Not much else happening. Just hanging out with Tang which has been nice. He seems to be doing pretty good too. I hope you've had a good day and will have a good evening as well in the company of your fur-ever angels. Blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny sometimes cloudy breezy 70-ish Wednesday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.
Tracy, this has been an extremely difficult experience for you - - which I know is totally understated. I hope your phone interview with McKesson has gone well for you today and that you are able to obtain employment at the location of your choice - - where Anne is working - - where you had originally requested. I absolutely agree with you that Remx should be ashamed of themselves for the way they have treated you. I wish there was some way you could hold them financially responsible for the hardship you and Anne are going through. Please let us know how things go.
Today has been successful - - I have my driver's license renewed. The hardest part was the eye test because of my technology ineptitude. I had a bit of a problem figuring out how to look through the viewfinder, but once I figured it out I was able to read the letters just fine. Whew!!! I'll be getting my new license in the mail in the next couple of weeks. When I got back to the condo both Buster and Bonnie were waiting for me. Bonnie didn't stay long but faithful Buster is still here with me taking a nap on my bed as I'm writing to you.
Tracy, thank you so much for sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the spring evening temperatures. I hope you, your precious boy, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you.

Hello moon_beam. Sunny and warm (75) greetings to you. I hope you are well. Good to hear you were able to renew your license. Even better that Bonnie and Buster were there waiting for you when you got back. I hope they are both doing OK.
Right after I posted here yesterday (and several email exchanges with Anne's manager at her request) I "miraculously" got an email from RemX asking if I could start tomorrow (today) I replied yes, but Thursday's out for personal reasons (the Computer Share interview which we're still going to) So, my start date is Friday at 8:30. We think that RemX got caught doing me dirty by McKesson and they panicked. I really don't care. I just know I'll have income this week even if it's just a day and going forward.
Tang seems to be doing OK today. He's been spending his time between the cool kitchen tile and the foyer just at the top of the stairs.
I hope you have had a good day and that you will have an equally good evening watched over by your beloved fur-ever angels. Peace and blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny sometimes cloudy breezy pleasant 70-ish Thursday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.
Tracy, I am soooooo happy for you. At least you know it's the recruiter who - - for whatever unfathomable and unpardonable reason - - is responsible for the grief you have been going through. I know this takes a HUGE burden off your mind, and am glad you and Anne are following through with your interviews with Computer Share. I look forward to sharing your news as to how your interviews went today.
Today was my infusion and it went well. It's good to be back at the condo now for the remainder of the afternoon and evening. I saw Buster early this morning on his rounds but because of my appointment he hasn't been here yet. I'm hoping he'll come visit at some point this afternoon. Perhaps I'll see Bonnie later on, too.
Tracy, it's always a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well.

Hello moon_beam. Sunny and warm (70) greetings to you. I hope you are doing well. Glad your infusion went well, but sorry to hear you missed Buster. I hope he came by later and that he and Bonnie are doing OK.
We were not able to attend the Computer Share event as Anne has been ill of late. Her dad gave her 100.00 to go to the Little Clinic which we tried a little while ago but she has an outstanding balance she thought she's paid

I'm in no position to give it to her, so she's going try again tomorrow when she's paid. She is going to her 11:30-8 schedule so hopefully she can get in.
Tang seems to be be doing well and has stayed pretty close to Anne sensing she's not feeling well I guess. I hope you have had a good day and that you have an equally good evening watched over by you beloved fur-ever angels. Blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny breezy pleasant 70-ish T G I F greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.
I'm so sorry Anne isn't feeling well. I hope she's able to go to the clinic today to get evaluated and hopefully receive whatever meds she needs to begin feeling better. I'm sure all the stress you both have been under hasn't helped. Please let us know how she's doing. I hope today is going well for you with your first day at McKesson. I hope you and Anne will finally be able to have some financial peace of mind with your jobs. Please let us know how things go.
I was able to take a walk this morning - - which I haven't been able to do for the last 2 weeks or so because of the weather and other things that required my energy. It was nice to be able to get back out and walk. After I got back to the condo I have been working on financials. Will be working on reconciling the bank statement with the checkbook this weekend in preparation for the bill-a-thon for July. Faithful Buster came by earlier to visit. Since I was occupying the chair at the big computer desk he settled down on the settee to take a nap for awhile. He left to go on his afternoon rounds about an hour ago.

Hello moon_beam. Cloudy and warm (78) greetings to you. I hope you are doing well. Glad to hear you had a nice walk today as well as a visit from Buster. I hope he and Bonnie are doing well.
So, I won't be doing imaging as I had thought. I'll be on the phones (sigh) But the line of business is a pretty easy one. People who sign up for mail order RX for 0.00 thru the drug company Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Ltd. Application status, tracking and refills. Mostly from providers. Also this department is only open until 6:00, so mine and Anne's shifts will overlap by at least 2 hours. Oh well, good thing it's only a 10 minute walk.
Thanks for the well wishes for Anne. She's doing better today but still needs to see the doctor. She could not find anyplace today that could take her and still be on time for work. The good news is that the insurance we signed up for initially will kick in for her this Monday. So just a 30.00 copay rather than the full 100.00 for the clinic.
Tang seems well and was glad to see me. It will probably take him a while to adjust to our overlapping schedules though. I hope you have had a good day and that you also have a pleasant evening watched over by you beloved fur-ever angels. Blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny pleasant 80-ish Caturday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.
I'm so glad to share your news that you indeed started your new job at McKesson yesterday. I know you aren't thrilled about working on phones - - yet again - - but it sounds like this will be a little easier to handle than previous jobs have been. The good news is that you will be getting a paycheck, and I hope it will be a decent wage. Perhaps in time you can transfer to another department doing something which you prefer. I'm also very glad you and Anne can walk to and from work at your preference which makes your different schedules easier to handle. So are your schedules Monday through Friday only, or do either / both of you have weekends as well? I'm glad Anne was feeling better yesterday and am glad the health insurance will be a blessing to both of you. Please let us know how Anne is doing and how your jobs are going.
Today has been focused on getting financials up to date including reconciling the checkbook with the bank statement. So come Monday I can begin focusing on the bill-a-thon for July. As I was working on things sweet Buster came for two visits - - the first was a "good day" greeting, and the second one he settled down on the cushion in the chair at the big computer desk and took a nap for awhile. He left about an hour ago to do his afternoon rounds in this pleasant Caturday weather.
Tracy, thank you so much for sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep Tux Jr, Little Tux, White Cat, Bobtail, Little Gray, Little Bit, Tweak, Princess, Dulcinea, Butters, Fluffy, Ferdinand, and all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the spring evening temperatures. I hope you, your precious boy, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang and Anne. Please know you, your precious boy, and Anne are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to knowing how you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne are doing, along with the community waifs, and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas and princess Theresa.

Hello moon_beam. Cloudy and warm (83) Caturday greetings to you. I hope you are well. Glad to hear Buster came by for 2 visits including the extended one. I hope he and Bonnie are doing OK.
The wages are decent, about a dollar and hour more than First Source. As far as I know it's a M-F schedule for both of us. The only WE OT I know of is non customer facing such as processing and the warehouse. Yes, if I do as well as my side by side trainer seems to think I will, I can move on to processing one day.
Today was not very successful. When we got to the plasma clinic (for what was to be my final donation) there were only a few people there and I got in to pre-screening pretty fast. But I wasn't allowed to donate. Why you may ask? Because of the bruising on my left arm that THEY caused on my last visit

So, since I only just started and don't have a pay stub yet, Anne had to get a modest payday loan. I hate those but we were out of options at this point. But at least we both ARE working now, so that's something.
Tang has been showing signs of depression lately (hiding etc) he's fine physically but I guess our dark moods over the past few weeks have affected him. He did perk right up for supper as it's a fresh can night. He also hops on the bed for pets when one or both of us are upstairs. Hopefully he will improve as we do.
I hope you have had a good day and that your evening will be equally pleasant in the company of your precious fur-ever angels. Blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny breezy 80-ish Sunday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.
I'm sorry you and Anne had to resort to a "pay day" loan, my friend, but I'm glad you had this option available - - although it being of the "last resort" kind. As for your precious Tang, indeed our precious companions can be affected by the moods of their human guardians. I'm very confident that as things improve for you and Anne financially-wise and he senses the tension of your concerns ease he also will reflect this in his behavior. I'm keeping you, Anne, and your precious Tang in my thoughts and prayers that you and Anne will be able to restore financial stability soon. Please let us know how things go.
Life is quiet here at the condo complex today. Buster came by for a visit earlier but left about an hour ago for his afternoon rounds. He may be back for another visit later on.
Tracy, it's always a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well.

Hello moon_beam. Rainy day greetings to you. I hope you are doing sell. Glad to hear Buster paid you a visit and hope he and Bonnie are doing OK.
Not much going on here today. Just went to feed the waifs at the old place (didn't see any) and get some supplies for the week and come hope to watch TV and have lunch.
Tang was not pleased with me this morning when I clipped his claws on all four paws. But he's come around since we've been home. He's had his supper and I will give him his shot and treats later as well as provision the waifs. Last night I saw a new one and then Butters. But I have not seen Tweak but once the past few weeks and Dulcinea not at all

I hope they are OK. I hope Anne will avail herself of going to the clinic before going to work since her insurance kicks in. But given her stubborn streak, I cannot say if she will or not.
I hope you have had a good day and will have a pleasant evening watched over by your beloved fur-ever angels. Blessings.

Hi, Tracy, cloudy humid 90-ish Monday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.
I am keeping Anne in my thoughts and prayers that she is / will be feeling better soon. I do understand her lack of enthusiasm about seeing a doctor but the fact remains that you can't get medications (except over the counter) without an MD prescription - - especially when you need them. Please let us know how she's doing. I know the waifs sincerely appreciate all you and Anne do for them and continue to keep them in my thoughts and prayers.
I know all too well the "cursed" look our companions give when they get their nails trimmed. I'm glad your precious Tang has reconciled with you, as I know he knows you love him and that the "demeaning" things you do for him - - and to him - - are necessary to keep him healthy and happy.
Did some work on financials today and worked on a couple of "creative" projects on the computer. Haven't seen Buster, or Bonnie, out and about today but I may see one or both of them at some point this afternoon.

Hello moon_beam. Cloudy and hot (80) greetings to you. I hope you are well. Sorry you didn't see Bonnie or Buster today and I hope they are doing OK too.
So, the RemX lady came and got me and another woman from our side by sides. Seems they decided to put a training class together after all. So my schedule the rest of the week will be 8-4:30. after that, who knows. That being said, I really didn't get to see Anne long enough about if she went to the clinic, but I will when she gets home.
Tang is well and has had his supper and shot. He will get his treats later when I provision the local waifs. I hope today has been a good day for you and that you have a most pleasant evening in the company of your precious fur-ever angels. Blessings.

Hi, Tracy, cloudy humid 80-ish Tuesday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.
I hope your training goes okay, and hope this will be PAID time during your training. I hope Anne was able to see the doctor yesterday and that she will be feeling better soon. Please let us know how things are going.
Worked a bit more on financials today and finally ordered a small refrigerator to store things in while the new refrigerator for the kitchen is getting set up and ready for use - - whenever I buy the new kitchen refrigerator. According to the order confirmation it should be delivered by next Saturday, 6/29. I have already rearranged things in the laundry area to accommodate the small fridge. One more step forward here at the condo complex. In yesterday's mail I got my new driver's license which is good for 8 years. Haven't seen Buster or Bonnie yet today but they may be staying close to home with the storms passing through the area. Distant thunder rumbles once in awhile and the radar on the weather bug site is showing that storms are approaching the area. So it's good if they are safe and sound inside their home.
Tracy, thank you so much for sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the spring evening temperatures. I hope you, your precious boy, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang and Anne. Please know you, your precious boy, and Anne are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to knowing how you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne are doing, along with the community waifs, and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas and princess Theresa.

Hello moon_beam. Cloudy and warm (77) greetings to you. I hope you are doing well. Sorry to hear you haven't seen Buster of Bonnie today but hope they are doing OK. I've only rarely caught glimpses of our local waifs, but the food gets eaten (when it doesn't storm out) Anne think's it's because as it gets warmer there is more activity in the parking lot later. I hope she's right.
I only got to see Anne briefly when I was leaving work (yes it's paid training. I can clock in and all my other hours have been manually entered) and she was having lunch. She didn't get to go to the clinic yesterday due to time and I didn't get a chance to ask her about today. She did seem better though.
Tang is doing well also. He's had his supper and shot and will get his treats when I provision the local waifs after while. I hope today has been kind to you and that you have a pleasant evening in the company of your beloved fur-ever angels. Blessings.

Hi, Tracy, cloudy humid 70-ish Wednesday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.
Am glad your training is paid - - at least that's one concern you don't have to deal with. I hope the training is going okay. Please let us know how things go. I also agree with Anne about more activity in the parking lot perhaps affecting the behavior of the waifs. They know your place is a "safe zone" - - and they know where to come when the coast is clear, so to speak.
Began scheduling online payments today for the bill-a-thon. Am waiting now for other invoices so that I can make those payments. Resumed my search for a new refrigerator and have narrowed the selection down to 3 GE models. Just need to wait for my small refrigerator to arrive and get set up so that I can order the one for the kitchen. I'll be glad when this project is over with. Buster got caught in a drenching downpour early yesterday evening and came to me for temporary shelter so that he could get dried off and wait out the storm. He came by late this morning to keep me company as I was doing some work on the big desk top computer. He left about an hour ago to go home and get some lunch. Soon I will go to the kitchen and begin getting my lunch on the stove cooking.
Tracy, it's always a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the spring evening temperatures. I hope you, your precious boy, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang and Anne. Please know you, your precious boy, and Anne are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to knowing how you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne are doing, along with the community waifs, and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas and princess Theresa.

Hello moon_beam. Cloudy and warm (78) greetings to you. I hope you are doing well. I hope the new fridge works out to your satisfaction. Sorry to hear about Buster getting caught in the rain, but glad he has a safe place to come to with you when that happens. I hope he and Bonnie are doing doing OK.
I got an email from RemX WF that my hours for Friday have been submitted so I should get paid for that day after tomorrow. And to my bank account and not that stupid pay card Anne had to deal with for 2 weeks as my ACH says it's active.
Tang was happy to see me when I walked in the door (so nice to have less of a walk to actually come home than to the bus stop for most other jobs) He's had his supper and shot and will get his treats later when I put out food for the local waifs. He seems to be doing well.
I hope you have had a good day and will have a pleasant evening in the company of your precious fur-ever angels. Blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny breezy humid 80-ish Thursday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.
Am glad to share your news that your salary for last Friday has been approved and will deposited directly to your bank account. That's a positive step forward. And I do so understand how good it feels to have the "commute" to work more manageable. This is another positive for all the anguish you had to go through. How is Anne feeling? I hope she's doing okay.
Worked on my checkbook this morning getting payments put in for July's bills. I should be getting my electric bill in today's mail, so I'll be able to mail the payment this coming Monday, 6/24, with the other checks. Buster has come for a visit and is taking a nap on the desk in the computer area as I'm writing to you. I so enjoy his faithful friendship.
Tracy, as always it's a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the spring evening temperatures.

Hello moon_beam. Partly cloudy and warm (78) greetings to you. I hope you are doing well. I'm glad to hear Buster came for a visit today and I hope he and Bonnie are doing OK.
Anne is doing better, thanks for asking. So just one more day of training and I guess I will go back out to the floor to continue the side by sides for the program I'm on. I still don't know what my "real" schedule will be. But the hours could change due to our program merging with another one as they said at the town hall meeting today.
Tang is doing well and has had his supper and shot. I will give him his treats later when I provision the local waifs, where ever they may be. I'm glad they're eating the food, but I miss seeing them.
I hope you have had a good day and that you have a pleasant evening as well watched over by your beloved fur-ever angels. Blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny pleasant 70-ish T G I F greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.
I'm glad to share your news that Anne is feeling better. I hope your and Anne's hours will be compatible with one another. The good news is that you're within walking distance of your home - - that's always a bonus. Please let us know how things go.
Did some more work on financials today and a bit more research on refrigerators for the kitchen. Am limited in the style of refrigerator due to the depth measurement as the kitchen is galley-style and not very wide, thus limiting the size of the refrigerator. But I found two Whirlpool bottom freezer fridges that would fit. So I've got an option to the GE top freezer models to consider. Buster has come by twice this morning for a brief visit. He may be back before the afternoon is over.
Tracy, thank you so much for sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the summer evening temperatures. I hope you, your precious boy, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang and Anne.

Hello moon_beam. Cloudy and warm (79) greetings to you. I hope you are well. Glad to hear Buster came by for a visit and hope he and Bonnie are doing OK. I hope you also find a fridge that works for you.
Well, last day of classroom training and back to side by side next week. It will be 8-5:30 for that, but I have no idea what my "real" hours will be since I'm not doing the job I was supposedly hired for
Anne finally got to the clinic today only to be told per the RemX insurance it's 75.00 and can only have one visit per year

I advised her to call our family Dr office Monday and schedule a morning appt for next week as that's only 30.00.
Tang is well and has had his supper and shot. I will give him his treats later when I provision the local waifs. I hope you have had a good day and that you have a pleasant evening in the company of your precious fur-ever angels. Blessings.
