Life’s been powerful busy ’round here lately - I apologize for not posting very often and not gettin’ the chance to swing by and visit many of y’all. I’m having a terrible time finishing anything, from trying to juggle so many things at once LOL

Daughter started summer school yesterday…I still haven’t discovered a way to find that amusing LOL

A friend gave me some boxes of used books out of pity for my horrific financial condition (see details below) and I’ve been trying to get them listed at my Amazon Marketplace Shop.

Hmm, nothin’ funny there either…think, Marti, think. LOL

I visited the professional photographer who took pictures of me to use on the back cover of the book. She was great! We gabbed (gossiped LOL) and she showed me some of her magic tricks for making a haggard old woman look presentable LOL We picked three pictures that she is going to run through the “pretty-up” process again. LOL As soon as I can sell some blood, I will purchase some - LOL

All the rain we’ve gotten has made the weeds…errr…lawn, grow like crazy, so mowing has become a second (or 3rd, or 4th…I’ve lost count LOL) career to keep the front door visible LOL

The kittens! That’ll make y’all smile! I asked daughter to take a picture of them. She said, “They’re too fast!” LOL But we did manage to snap this of three of them.

The excitement was apparently too much for this one:

(Please ignore my hideously ugly, ancient shag carpet - we decided long ago that we weren’t going to replace it until the kids leave the house - LOL)

Then there is the fresh hell from that damnable letter that comes after H, letter that comes after Q, letter that comes after R (Think I’m paranoid? You would be too if they’d put you through what we’ve experienced lately.) Gawd almighty - every greedy agency in the universe is screamin’ for money! Agencies NO ONE in our family every had any dealings with are springing up out of the woodwork, laying claim to our refund. And those very filthy expletives at the aforementioned unmentionable place that collects the unmentionable blood money, joyfully accepts their claims, regardless of validity. (Insert voice of cartoon dog Goofy) “Say there, government office holding funds which rightfully belong to these people, I..uh…I think they owed me some money from…oh, sometime since this country was founded, for…uh, something that I’m just guessing at, but hey, I look trustworthy right? So why don’t you just let ME have their money. If I’m wrong, I’ll…uh, get it back to them someday. Yup, I shore will!”

So the refund our charming accountant worked her fingers to the bone for vanishes - poof! Before I even get to see it! And my futile cries that such a debt was never incurred, give me back my money you very obscene words, will require more work by the accountant, whose fees are now exceeding the refund-that-got-away. In desperation, I am pimping used books in this post, putting a small ad in the sidebar, which I am not allowed to ask you to click on, and I am willing to hire out two healthy young people for very reasonable wages. I must caution though, that they consume vast quantities of food, gasoline and electricity, and frequently turn sullen for no apparent reason.

Hmmm, on second thought…..today is 06 06 06, maybe I better make nice with all my demons LOL
