Around the yard

 I took another stroll around the yard to take some pictures. Mainly just weeds but it's what's out there. But first we start by looking up into my favorite tree

The next two were little flowers that were growing out in the yard along with the grass

The rest is from the property adjacent to mine which is owned by the doctors office

Miscellaneous stuff

 One day while I was at work I spotted this truck stopped in traffic. Not crazy about the color of it but it's a nice looking old truck

I spotted these on Facebook and thought they were so cute. Maybe I'll try and make some this year.

This is another thing I spotted on Facebook. I should go through this list and get rid of things. I've got a lot of things mentioned on this list. About the only one I don't keep is boxes, "in case I return it"

In other news my computer isn't working. I got a week's worth of posts scheduled Sunday morning and then in the afternoon I don't know what happened but I can't even get windows to open. I don't think I can blog from my phone. As it is I hate doing emails and blog reading on my phone. If I go quiet that is why. 

Thank goodness for PTO

 It seems like all I do anymore is leave early, come in late or take the entire day off. It's a good thing I have PTO and an understanding boss. 

Now that it's just me in the office 3 days a week they allow me to close the office early if I have an appointment. I just have to put a sign on the door.

After this one there is another day I'm leaving early, one I'm coming in late and then I'm taking the whole day off on the 11th of this month. 

Hello August. Here's hoping you are better than July

 Here we go starting another month already. Time is just moving by way too fast.

July wasn't really that great of a month for me. I struggled with trying to get answers from my doctor about my hip, I had co pays going out like crazy and when I took my car in for inspection it failed which cost me a small fortune. 

I had taken the day off for my inspection because I go to a local garage and drop it off the night before. When they called me and told me I needed two new tires I thought maybe they had the wrong car because I had just put 4 new tires on it in April of 2025. Nope, not the wrong car. Plus it also needed brakes and rotors.

I called the place that I got tires from and they said there wasn't much they could do since I didn't have my paperwork from when I bought the last tires. I told them just get me two new tires so I can pass. Friday 7/24 I left work early so I could get those put on. Took a pic while I waited.

I probably should have replaced all 4 tires but I really couldn't afford it with all the other things I've paid for. Plus I have my taxes due the end of this month which is another $900+.
