This to so shall pass
Yes I am frustrated but there is nothing I can do til Tuesday.; How can they lose a mortgage???? I am very frustrated. But what do you do????? grrrrrrrrr
Mortgage problems
That's awful!! And you know nothing is going to happen tomorrow, or the holiday Monday. Are the payments with them? Probably not, and that will just compound the issue. I imagine you just want to kick someone's butt, but you're helpless at this point. Let us know what happens-- I'm going to be worrying about you all weekend.
Stress
I know i should join in your moments of contentment but they still haven't found my mortgage money and I have payments due on August first. If anyone asks, NO, i would not recommend Royal Bank.. I am so frustrated..I am paying interest on a mortgage that no one knows where the money is.
Cherish
Those are the moments that I have come to cherish the most in my life. Just to sit on the situpon in the early morning with my coffee makes such a difference in my attitude for the approaching day's activities. I'm happy to read your message. Thanks

Peaceful time of day
I'm sitting in the kitchen and looking out the window. It's about 8:00, and the sun is not yet set. but low in the sky. There is very little wind, and the yard is like a peaceful retreat-- softly lit and calm. I know that soon the mosquitoes will be out, so this is almost the perfect time of day to just quietly sit. I need to do this more often.
Reflexology
I have had reflexology, and the results made me wonder if there might not be something behind it. Also, the couple we used to see, who divorced several years ago, both took the training, and they felt it was quite valid. The basic premise is that many physical complaints can be diagnosed and/or moderated by massaging certain areas of the feet. Regardless, I think it's the most wonderful foot massage system, although they don't go above the ankle--as far as I know. Wish I could join you.
Quiet days here. I didn't sleep well Wednesday night, and was sort of "out of it" all day yesterday. Except for a trip out to buy coffee in the afternoon, I sat in front of the tv, watching "Income Property", and sewing hexies. We didn't even fuss too much about supper. Busier today with laundry, and kitchen work, but I still sat for a couple of hours watching re-runs of "Dead Files", and sewing hexies. Again I didn't sleep well last night, so got up about 2:00am, and started to read the latest Stone Barrington book. Went back to bed around 3:00, and finished the book over breakfast. As you said, Beth,--a fast read.
We've also had a problem with the bank, but certainly not as serious as yours, Cathy. One of the tellers is new, and has not yet developed the degree of attention to detail that, I believe, is required for the job. David took the bills in to pay out of the chequeing account, and came out a little confused about what had happened. I went over the paperwork and discovered that one bill had been missed, but appeared to be stamped, none the less. This is the same teller, who, a couple of weeks ago, when I went in to withdraw $200, took the money out of the automatic dispensing machine, and handed it to me. It didn't feel right in my hand, and since he hadn't actually counted it out, as they are supposed to, I counted it back to him. Found that he had only given me $100. So when I went back, yesterday, I spoke to the manager and expressed my concern, about his skill level. She was appropriately polite, but I don't think she was too concerned.
We are having fun watching the crow, squirrels, blackbirds/grackles, and Blue Jays, all dealing with the peanuts. David has now taken to lining them up on the small shelf at the bottom of the feeder, where the crows will not be able to get them. I think that little squirrel is going to have quite a tummy ache.

A long day , but rewarding
Up to North bay early and at Mike's by 9 am -with Tim's coffees and toasted bagels for us both. (Erin was at work).
Altering his four new bright white work shirts was a challenge. Erin had measured and then bought some fabric at Fabricland yesterday so I was all set to get going. I quickly saw that there was not going to be enough fabric. But I started with the first shirt and took my time to try a method that would work. It came together nicely so I was off and running with the second shirt . I slipped out at lunch to do some other chores and also return to Fabricland to purchase more of the same fabric and another spool of thread.
Into the afternoon I carried on, work.. work... work. Mike put on the new Stars Wars movie which I had not seen so I could watch and iron and sew all at the same time. The afternoon went quickly - not to be a spoiler but Hans Solo gets it in the end. Mike said he heard an interview and Harrison Ford stated he did not want to be in a subsequent movie - so they killed him off.
Erin came home from work at 4 pm and was very pleasantly surprised that the shirts were done. All I left for her was to sew on some snaps to fasten at the bottom where I had added the additional flap of fabric. She had made a batch of cinnamon buns the night before and had prepared a fruit platter for Mike and I to nibble on. Nice. For me, a very busy / tiring but gratifying day.
On another note it seems I may be venturing outside my comfort level - accepting an invitation to a Reflexology session. Yes, you read that correctly! The hairdresser has a friend who is a Reflexologist. She asked her friend if a closed session could be done for several people - in her salon after hours. So she is inviting about six ladies to attend, and she'll have nibbles, and we will have a little private session. She thinks it may cost about $30.00 but not sure yet until her friend decides. What do you think - am I crazy? It is to be in about two weeks and she'll let me know exactly closer to the date. So.....I shall now be doing my feet every night - rubbing calluses with emery boards, and working in creams, and caring for my nails, and cuticles. My feet are such a mess.
Well, the day is quickly catching up with me - so off to bed. It is the long weekend - hope everyone has a good time doing whatever. Cathy, be sure you and Jim really do just veg out! Take care
