Greetings all

More sun today in spite of my Apple watch telling me it is cloudy. I managed to get the linen closet cleaned out yesterday. Amazing what I found. I now have a giant bag of old bed sheets that we don't use. I also have a large amount of linen items that are unopened in packages. Like a mattress pad that is a California king that I must have bought by mistake. There are some other sheets and duvet covers and I have no clue why I bought them or why I did not use them. Oh well. I think the thrift store will take the new stuff. We will see about the other stuff. The other sheets are all clean and usable but probably no one wants them. There is a big thrift store in Eureka that has a back alley that you can drive into and guys come out and take stuff - a thrifting drive by.

Too bad about the power surge Liz. No elevator is not cool. Hope it all gets fixed. Weird on how only half the building was impacted. Glad you did not need arctic clothing for the event. Also too bad about grandson's wrecked car. An insurance mess to untangle. Years ago I asked our insurance agent if our house sitter could drive our car and be covered and they said yes we were covered for an occasional driver - whatever that means.

CC you need to give your house a new name - like Terra del Kirby. Don't you just love a slow day. I am sure Kimbels had no idea what your message meant.

So I went to the studio for awhile today. Studio buddy stopped in for a bit. Honestly she is driving me nuts. I think she needs some mental health counseling and will ponder a tactful way to suggest it. Long story short I think she is sort of manic and borderline paranoid. Then I got a call from our director that the studio bank card has been compromised and that also our signature cards are out of date. They wanted the to remember which employee I dealt with there when the new cards were set up. Well duh I don't remember but I do know what I was told. Oy vey.

Yum yum sandwhiches tonight which DH thinks are a great delicacy.

Peps if I was in the market for plastics I would go to your surgeon. Looks like a great job. As the saying goes, "you...look...marvelous"! . Well if 75 is the gateway to old age then I am fast approaching. I felt like 70 was a change physically but I know 80 year olds that run circles around me.

Cheers. Diane S.

How lucky to have an insurance agent in the family! They must all be different. My company just sent a generic email recently about if you have anyone else drive your car, have them added even if for a short period.

I'm not sure - apparently it affected several buildings in our area and the electric company (FPL) had to fix it.

My insurance is through State Farm and they offer for free a subscription and device called Ting that plugs in and monitors your electrical circuits for potential fire hazards. I have three - one for each 200 amp panel. If it detects a fire hazard (arcing, bad power coming into your house, loose connections), it alerts you on your phone and they immediately send out an electrician to fix the problem and pay up to $1000 to do the work. Smart for State Farm as it means not paying out for a catastrophic fire... I wonder if it would catch something like at your building?

Still lots of dead trees on Sanibel but overall it looked pretty good.
