My online group increased by five in a couple of days. Apparently I made the right move by inviting people to join. I celebrated today by making a pot of homemade beef soup. I have been wanting soup, but the prices are outrageous. So I decided to make my own. I can hardly wait to see what happens tomorrow!
Interesting what can happen when one follows their intuition. I have been having problems encouraging the members of my online group, "Answer This", to participate. I was really on the verge of shutting it down. Then an idea popped up. I decided to send invitations to join to several people. As of this morning the group has four new members and I am really expecting more to accept my invite.
I have always loved the quote- there is more than one way to skin a cat!
Yup! I have another gout attack. This is getting very tiresome! I have an appointment with a podiatrist soon, but Other than confirming what is going on It probably won't prove much. Apparently it is a form of arthritis. No surprise there. According to my chiropractor my body is full of it. That's the fun of getting older.
It seems that life is full of surprises! In checking on my bank statement this morning I discovered that There was a deposit of $250. Not sure where that came from. It looks like it was a tax refund of some kind. Whatever I am keeping it. It makes up for the crap I have received from insurance companies I have canceled this month. Apparently you don't pay premiums in advance and not only do they not owe me a refund, I owe them. I am not going to fight them, it is not worth the battle. I am sick of dealing with companies! Starting June 1 I will begin again.
A couple of days ago I put out the hummingbird feeder in hopes of attracting some customers. Well, it worked! The problem is it also attracted some bigger birds that are stealing the hummingbird food. I feel bad for the poor little birds. They not only have to fight the wind, but intruders, for their food. Maybe if I toss some birdseed on the ground that might take care of the problem. It is worth a try I guess!
I have been reading the Kindle book, "The Darling Songbirds". It is about a small Western ton that is slowly dying. It reminded me of the town I live in, Grants,NM. I moved to Grants in 1980 and I have seen a lot of ups and downs.It became famous for its uranium, among other things over the years. As I look around today there are numerous empty buildings. People just can't stay in business with all that the pandemic has brought in its wake.
The one good thing I have always noticed is that we really have great weather. Even though the rest of the state seems to be dealing with fires, we are not. We also do not have tornadoes, hurricanes or earthquakes. It just seems like a really safe place to live. I originally found it a little difficult to get used to, as it is mostly made up of Spanish and Native American residents.
I am not sure what will happen in the book I am reading or what will happen to Grants, but as the saying goes, whatever will be will be. I can't afford to move.
