What's on your Wednesday menu?

good morning y'all!

Not a lot planned today. Yesterday was better but still kind of dicey with my mom. Hopefully she'll be even better today!

I'm hoping to get some stuff around the house done today. My mom may decide to go somewhere. None of the grocery stores has really good sales for the 4th. Kind of disappointing. I wa hoping for some. My stomach has been really messed up the past week or two. Not sure what all it is from. Going to cut back on a few things and hope it takes care of it.

QOTD: I posted yesterday about what I got my mom for her b-day...the bird feeder with a web cam. Do y'all enjoy watching wildlife?

the greatest joy of my life in those regards was when I saw my first wild bison in Yellowstone NP. I cried...literally. I love love love seeing and watching wildlife. It makes me wish I could see the country before it was settled. I've seen black bears in Canada, foxes in RMNP, moose, wolfs and tons and tons of elk. Funny enough I hate wildlife documentaries that include carnage. I don't view it as entertainment to see something lose its life. I know it happens but I don't want to watch it.

B: burrito and coffee

L: chicken nuggets or an egg with a zero net carb tortilla

D: ???

I am missing my grandpa so much so I thought I'd share a photo I took! Also a bracelet!

I love the meme! Don't know how you handle the cicadas they would drive me nuts!

My roommate got a job, so maybe things will be better. I had 19 hours paid last week, which is good since I haven't had a paycheck in almost 2 months. I did finally get money from Paid Leave Oregon, so I'm not totally broke. I can cover my house payment for this month. I hate living paycheck to paycheck but that is my reality.

It's not supposed to be as hot as the last couple of days, high 90's is too warm. Especially when trying to keep my 2nd story bedroom cool at night. To keep it cool the downstairs is cold. I've been thinking about selling my house, but honestly I don't think I can afford the interest rates now and don't want to move again. The stairs and I are not friends, I really want a single story house.

My neighbors, the ones with the rooster were playing very loud musi****il about 10:30PM on Saturday, my roommate had talked to them a couple of days before and basically they told him too bad call the cops. Why is there always one neighbor that makes everyone else's life a living hell? Not looking forward to the 4th, I despise fireworks and have PTSD so it just sucks. The city of Portland has banned fireworks but I don't think it will do any good.

Have a great day everyone! I miss QJB and Grim has anyone heard how they are doing?

I did not live close to my grandparents. They were in Ireland and Brooklyn NY and I was in Ohio. So I have no pictures of them. Once in a while a picture shows up but they were all gone by 1960 and people did not take many pictures back then. Once in a while a cousin will share an old picture and I treasure those.

Fireworks are legal here but I don't expect to hear any from my senior citizen neighbors. i have two parties I can attend for the Fourth and wish I could go to both. But will go one who asked me first.

I love wildlife and documentaries. There is one on Amazon Prime call Zoo where you learn a lot about animals. I always love a day at the zoo and watching exotic animals.
