Good grief, that is really extreme to go after non-working vehicles for taxes. For all I know maybe Washington has been doing that for years already, they love to tax anything and everything here.

QOTD: I can't think of one anymore. In past I'd have said Montana but it has changed too much. And there are too many bugs in the nice, warm states plus their extreme weather woes. We're stuck here now because our kids are settled here and I want to be able to see the grandkids grow up.

B: warm water and my choc/protein/collage milkshake

L: still working on the milkshake

D: Had to make myself try to finish the meat sauce spaghetti with Shiratake noodles from last night. Couldn't eat all of it then because it hurt my stomach. Still hurts today but I made myself eat it.

Last night even the protein bar and sf hot cocoa hurt so I measured a half cup of Chex again to eat dry before I had to take the evening pills. I think the constant antihistamine is part of the problem along with the coffee. Trying to clean up my habits like the coffee. Haven't had any nsaids in a few weeks and just toughing out the knee pain. Must plan food better, I'm only at 300 calories today, 39g protein, 18g carbs and 7 gr. fat.

NSV: For funsies I tried on a pair of white jeans that were a Costco clearance end of summer, size 14. I hoped maybe they'd fit by Spring but they fit now. Yay! Although my Gloria Vanderbilt jeans are a loose 16 and I can't even zip the 14's. What the heck?

The fun this week has been sewing again. No new garments yet but I've downsized two tops, altered two pairs of pants, corrected a bad dart in a new Costco shirt (no woman is built with one facing up and one facing down, haha) and remodeled a sweater and a sweatshirt.

Good Friday-eve gang. Very frustrated with the state of CT. Apparently, everything is subject to taxation even an antique tractor from the 30's that is only used as a lawn decoration with potted flowers. We got a letter from the town assessor stating that they were informed we had unregistered or out of state registered vehicles on the property. When I called to question the letter, I was told the blight officer reported to the assessor we have tractors, box truck bodies, bobcat, backhoe, and that none of our vehicles are registered in CT. That last part is a lie since all 4 of our vehicles have CT license plates and I get a motor vehicle tax bill every year.

The assessor said I have to send her a list of what we have. So even though the box truck bodies are used for storage and are on the ground they are to be taxed. The backhoe and bobcat that we have had for over 30 years are to be taxed. Literally every dam thing is to be taxed. I'm ready to move out of this Democratic run state and go to a Red state like West Virgina. Sorry for the rant I'm just stressed.

QOTD: If you could live in any US state which one would you pick? Me right now anyone that is not run by Democrats. I know people say Republicans are only out to help the rich, but when looking at the states that DO NOT have personal property taxes (which is 25 states) all but 6 of them are Republican run.

B: coffee

L: ham, cheese, pickle wraps

D: grilled chicken thighs

Have a great day everyone!!!

Good mornin all.

busy day for me ahead. Sam's and grocery's. I have to think about what I can get that'll last for over a month. I have 80 dollars to use for it. I need to think about it and be smart about it. Maybe some beans and such. Soup makings. Since I am on disability I get automatic help with groceries. There is no telling when I'll get em again.

we' e been getting rid of a whole lots of stuff we don't use anymore. Esp kitchen stuff.

I found a really nice chair at the Salvation Army thrift store. It was only 30 bucks...not a thing wrong with it. Now I just need a foot stool and I'll be set in my bedroom. Just need to organize it.

QOTD: my goal is to fix my room up before I have to have surgery. There is no telling when that'll happen though.

food is unplanned. All I had for breakfast was an egg burrito.

MEME DUMP!!

Gosh Im the WORST... never return home w/ out a shopping bag or three .

Childhood deprivation will do that 2 U ... U remember no emotional comfort ... finding a ( convoluted) way 2 comfort urself ... and its a remembered muscle memory 4 life .

I HATE being a food hoarder / waster yet I cant help myself ... not yet but theres hope .

Happy Hump Day Gang!!! The weekend is almost here. We have the COO of the company will be stopping by to visit the plant. I don't think she's ever been here at least not that I remember. Not much else going on today.

I've been picking through stuff at home to either sell or set out this weekend for free. Just need to get rid of stuff that I haven't used in years and don't plan on it.

QOTD: What goals are you working towards now? I'm currently working on getting the house organized and cleaned out. Still can't believe all the stuff you can collect over the years.

B: coffee and protein shake

L: leftover pot roast

D: grilled pork steaks and peas

Hitting the Y for some weight training and treadmill time.

I hope you all have a fantastic Wednesday!!!!
