Sweating To Death

  Hello, all, well, here's the story for the week. It's hot in New York is above 100or above degrees, and for a person like me with health issues. That means staying in the air and keeping my butt at home. which is better for me, that means no spending money. Which I hate doing anyway. when was the last time you went driving somewhere? here in New York, the drivers now have been two things: to slow in their driving or drive crazy, like they needed to be somewhere two days ago. And God forbid if you're a slow driver, they will honk their horn at you like they're pushing to hurry up. Is it just me or have you experienced that too?

Also, I was supposed to go on a cruise for Christmas and through New Year's. I got this letter in my email stating that the ports that I was going to all have been changed. Seems like the rush ship couldn't get a parking space for the days on the islands we were supposed to go to. so they changed the whole itinerary to the ports that I've already been to. Mind you, this is not a cheap cruise for Christmas and coming back the day after New Year's. So now I'm trying to decide if I want to pay all that money for places I've already been or say forget it and give me my money back for another cruise sometime next year.

Getting old is crazy, but I'm thankful to get there. Why didn't you tell me that your knees go out after a certain age? That's not nice, you're not telling me. Well, my knee went out, so now I have to take baby steps to walk. Aspirin helps, but I do exercise helps more. Got to stay in shape when we get older so things like this don't happen. Stay cool out there.

                             Oh, well, that's my story for the week. What do you think?

New York Sucks For Real!!!

  Hello all, well here's the story for the week, New York sucks For Real! Here's the reason why, first off, I get a letter in the mail stating that I got a ticket for $50 because I was driving over 10 miles over the speed limit in a school district, which is 20. But from the camera picture they sent, with my license plate from the back and front and a picture of where the car was located when I got the ticket. I didn't see any school in that area. How do I know school was even in session that day could have been the weekend or a holiday.  Trying to fight the ticket would have been hopeless now that they have put in all these speeding cameras and bumps. The city is trying to get money anyway it can because they are greedy like that. I was too upset. I hate wasting money on bull s**t.

 Another thing happened, this wasn't a New York City thing, but still. I was in Walmart yesterday trying to find clothes for my vacation. I hate going to Walmart. I went to it the workers they have are a hot mess and not in a good way. Anyway, I was with my partner, and the dressing rooms are locked, so you need to find a salesperson with a key. Which we did. When the salesperson went to unlock one of the dressing room doors. Me, this little girl and kept telling her loudly somebody was in there. Did the worker listen?  No. it was like she didn't understand English. She opened the door anyway to the women dressing in the room. Then the worker quickly closed it back, noticing someone was in there, which we had already told her like 100 times. I swear the people working in Walmart these days are.....  I can't even say without being nice, but you get the point. Walmart needs to hire better workers or give them a class in how to do things properly because Walmart and its employees are a, hot mess.

                                   Well that's my story for today What do you think?

Getting Old Suck!

  Hello all, well here's the story for the week., Getting old suck! Oh so how was your July going so far? It hurts me physically and finally to but most physically. Has I have gotten older; my body seems to realize that it can now fall apart if it wants to. I went to the doctor, and now I have arthritis in the knee along with my other medical condition. Really, arthritis in the knees?  Don't old people get that?  I know I'm in my early 60s, but hey, I'm still young, right? Anyway, the pain in the knee hurts, but I've been doing exercises, and it's helped, along with taking tylenol for arthritis. When did I get old? Time goes so fast. Anyway, besides that, the property taxes were due this month, and I tell you, property taxes in New York is expensive, along with medical and everything else here. I need to move, but all my doctors are here. So, I'm stuck for the moment.

Did I ever mention to you that I have a gardener? I used to do the yard myself, but then with my health issues, it got to be too much. The garden came this week looking for payment from the last three months of 2024 and the first 6 months of 2025. I like to keep the payments with him up. I hate getting a big bill at the end of the season from him. If I could go back to saving money by doing my own yard which meant mowing, trimming the hedges, cutting down some bushes, all that physically tiring work, I would. I try and save money with him by keeping track of when he comes and doesn't come. That way I can tell him what I'm paying for and what I'm not paying for. I don't pay for now shows. It's bad enough he costs me $80 a month to do the basic mowing stuff. The only good part about my gardener is that he's a nice guy and does other lawn care stuff and doesn't charge me for it. That's and my health are the only reasons I still have him working for me. 

                                                   That's my story, what do you think?
