Saturday, Oct 19th, 2019…… The weather today was nicer than
yesterday. The rains are coming and going but there are bits and pieces of
sunshine too. We decided it was time to move the patio furniture of the porch
and get them stored away. I found some room in the rv garage and stacked up everything.
I put the cushions in bags to keep them clean. Then I came in and rested and
watched tv. Lydia came in and asked if I wanted to go see Maleficent, which was
playing at our local theater. We went to the 2:00pm $6.00 matinee. We liked the
movie. After that, we decided to order pizza for dinner, so on the way home
Lydia called James Gang Pizza and ordered one for pickup. We came home and I fed Rylee and then went
back and got dinner. I went on to LetGo and OfferUp and found a few more drill presses
I was interested in. I sent them questions about availability and I’m still
waiting. One lady was selling one for
her friend and it was $125.00. I told them I was on a $100.00 budget and would
pay that but she said his price was firm. We left it that I may call her on
Tuesday when she’s back in town if I didn’t find anything else. But looking at
others I am going to stick to my budget and just wait. After dinner we settled
in and watched our taped programs until calling it a night.
Sunday, Oct 20th, 2019…... Sundays are kick back days. We got some sun
and some sprinkles mixed in again today. I had Rylee out when it was nice early
this morning. Later in the day, I hooked her on her leash and we walked the
property line behind our neighbor’s home. Last week I had Kirk string trim all
of the weeds that were along Rich and Linda’s backyard fence. I saw Rich out at
his mailbox the other day and asked him if that was ok. He liked it. But he
asked about some vines or shrubs that were from our side that were kind of out
of control on his side now and he wanted to prune them. I told him go ahead.
This afternoon I found out that one is a blackberry bush that has grown from
our side and is taking over one of his fenceline shrubs. There is another one (not
recognized) that I will add to my list for Kirk to take out Tuesday when he is
here.
The
sprinkles continued throughout the evening but stopped overnight. We have one
or two more days before we are expected to have good weather again.
Lydia made
pork chops with fried potatoes and lima beans and we watched her tv and got
caught up on the three episodes of The Blacklist that we were behind on.
Monday, Oct 21st, 2019…... Today was our dermatologist appointment. I had
gotten up and showered and had Rylee out and fed pretty quickly. I headed off
and got my breakfast and coffee/tea for us. Around 9:20am we left for our
appointment. I am a first-timer so I
brought the paperwork they had sent me prior. We went into the same room and
Dr. Horner looked at me first (Lydia’s choice). I showed him the spots on my
forehead and cheek and he said they were pretty much age spots and wasn’t
concerned. He froze the three areas and looked at what was left of my poison
oak that is pretty much gone now - and I was done. Lydia had two spots he had worked
on before and one new one. These were all warts and he gave her locals and then
cut them off and cauterized everything. They
will get biopsied as procedure. She goes back in three weeks and I go back in a
year. Easy peasy! We came home and she had lunch. I wanted to clean up some
files on my laptop and import some photos from my phone so I spent some time
and got that all done. Then I fixed leftovers for my lunch and kicked back and
watched tv for a bit. We didn’t have anything else planned so we just hung
around and relaxed for the afternoon. When I went out and got the mail, we saw
we received our tax bill for the year. It always comes in October. This year we
got reassessed because of the rv garage. Taxes went up $570.00. Not too bad, I guess. The Oregon process
allows you to pay in full in November, saving $180.00. Plus, if you use a check, you save $115.00
over using a credit card. Lydia wrote the check and I will take it to the tax
collector tomorrow.
We were
both full from our lunches so we both skipped dinner. We ended the night watching tv.
