I was proud I got out of bed this morning with only one extra snooze. 

It's one of those days where my "get up and go," got up and went. 

While my plan for tomorrow includes putting corn up, I have this $35 gadget that let's me strip 2 dozen ears in under 30 minutes, and the planned start is "what ever the hell time my belly growls for breakfast".

I know, I felt the same way this morning. Then my watching the 9/11 attack remembrance coverage on tv, did not make my day any better. It all was just so sad.  The news has been doing that alot lately (sadness).    It is my hope is that others enjoyed a much better day! 💙

I live close enough to ground zero that I watched the towers fall out of the skyline from my upstairs window. Many parents from the elementary school I worked in at the time worked in the city. We got lucky, no one from our area lost anybody. It is not a day I will ever need services, slow ring of bells, or anything else to remember. I make it a point to NOT watch.

If it's Friday, it's golf league. Imagine beer league softball, but virtual golf. Teams of 2, lot's of good fun. Loud, noisy, in the best way. A few of the young couples have very young children, 2 to 11 months.  So i get to be Auntie for a few hours. i get to watch Phil do something He enjoys, have an adult beverage and a snack. It's been such a good thing for Him and i am so proud of how far His golf game has come.

Have a good night everyone

Hello everyone! 

September has chugged almost halfway through and I'm reeling from it.  Lol 

Today I go to my nieces 3rd birthday party. I'm not expecting it to be anything other than a too noisy chaotic mess with a bunch of very conservative folk with way too many kids judging me.  But I love my niece and she's my kids only cousin.  The things we put up with for family.

Good luck! Between my husband and I we had 23 nieces and nephews. I hated going to kids birthday parties (still do) but did it for the sake of keeping the peace. Now that there are great nieces and nephews in the picture, we have happily turned down invitations to chaos and felt not one iota of guilt. Also, when it comes to my husband's family, I don't care if I start a war anymore. 

Have a good day everyone and enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Bye bye to Lizard Point, the most southernly point in England.  This is the sunset yesterday- no AI, no editing:

Hi friends. 

It's been a long day already. Good therapy is hard work. i was reminded that a nap is self care, and not "wasting daylight." So i'm headed to the sofa with a blanket. i'll see y'all later.

Be kind to each other

Good lord did it rain here this morning! Had to delay start of the horse show twice and finally cancel completely when the rings turned to ponds. 

Yes horses can swim, but a horse show is not the time or place!

It's Tuesday...i've been busy editing mostly for the past few days.. and then there's the housework and Husband care...    

Not much to say really.. so,

I am pondering a question this morning.

If one renders an explanation several times to the same individual and stresses that documents now have to be signed online, why did said individual go into his resident portal and print out the document, sign it manually (which is like 20 different places on an 55 page lease), then scan the whole thing and email it to us?

He was in the portal. All he had to do was click on the first highlighted box, type his name and hit next. His signature will drop onto any highlighted area. Click on yellow, hit next. Repeat until you get to the end and hit submit. 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️

I've seen a lot of not intelligent things in property management. This one settles in the top 5. 

Today is another beautiful day. I have the windows in my office wide open and am enjoying the cool air. 

Have a good day everyone!

Is the document a .pdf?   If so, he may not be able to sign if his software is outdated and he doesn't know about online tools that can help.

Fir the same reason the AI assistant @ my auto insurance company refused to give me a representative. 

I go thru verification

Me: representative 

AI: sure, why?

Me: remove a vehicle

Ai: i can do that

Me: representative 

Ai:sure why?

Me:representative 

Rinse and repeat 3x

I hung up

Reminds me of when I worked in travel and every time a certain coworker called anywhere that had an automated menu she would literally holler "AGENT AGENT AGENT AGENT AGENT" until the system finally transferred her or one of us yelled "Patti SHUT UP" 

Omg... Loved her to death but she was a square peg in a round hole. 

I don't blame you for hanging up. Try online. I was able to remove my son from our policy and didn't have to make a call.

He literally had to access the document in order to print it. He was there. In the document. It was open. I have no idea why he bailed and chose to print out 50 some-odd pages. He also missed a bunch of places that had to be initialed so he would have had to redo it anyways. 

Oy.

Yes, he could print it but it doesnt mean he had the access to a pdf in order to sign it.  It's different depending on his software.

I talked to him a little bit ago and he said he could open everything just fine. 

I'm done trying to figure these people out lol

I just got done programming keys for a transfer that was supposed to be tomorrow. It's for a church who rents apartments for their missionaries. They have two units at our property. The elder guy showed up this morning and of course our manager is in the corporate office this week and was supposed to have had everything done. Did she? No. Of course not. 

She tells me to do the lease and then goes and does it. Argh. Make up your mind you ADHD squirrel on speed!

So I had to go program their key fobs while the elder dude went to get money orders for the security deposit. She didn't tell him we needed that either. 

Oh...and in the middle of all this I have tour come in and two separate residents locked themselves out. 

I can't even ask Jesus to take the wheel at this point. 

Gonna be one of those days lol.

Hey, amazingly there were only 4 cars in front of us at the French border control at Channel tunnel entrance in UK. When we arrived in Uk we could see miles of stopped traffic on other side trying to get into the terminal.  Phew 😅 Just had a delicious French dinner at our hotel. Substantially cheaper than what we have been paying in Uk.   Last night a tiny glass of ordinary Chardonnay cost £18, 20-something in EUR or USD.  How anyone except super rich can afford to live in central London is beyond me!

Tomorrow a long journey to Vézelay in Burgundy for a three night stay and then back to Valencia to start my proofreading for the Anthology.  
hugs to all,

I'm sitting here rather amused with myself and my pettiness. 

As you know, I have one incredible bitch of a sister-in-law who has verbally attacked my husband several times and me once. She's butt-hurt and hates me because I moved a picture of her daughter when I cleaned and didn't put it back front and center. Whatever. 

Now that the mother-in-law is in the nursing home, its been blissfully pleasant. We still have the hidden nanny cam and I have it set to send me motion alerts so I know whenever one of the judgemental Gavel Sisters has been here. They don't stay long...usually just to feed the cat and let the dog out (about the only nice thing they do). 

The bitchy one has been here twice this week and has taken stuff out of the house. As far as I can tell it's been books and clothes for her mom, although she did take the BP monitor that she bought. 

I've also noticed her straightening the pictures on the stand under the TV so that her precious little girl (who is now 30-something) remains front and center. 

So what does my petty ass do, you ask?

I took the box of tissues and put it smack dab in front of that picture and made sure the pulled up tissues blocked as much of it as possible. 😄😄😄🤣🤣🤣
