Found gold! in A small but passable life.

Yesterday afternoon I dropped Mom off at her hairdressers and I wandered next door to the Goodwill store. I was told by Nikki that I had forty-five minutes to wait. I perused the aisles until my eye was caught by something. No way!, I thought. There was a Hydro Flask water bottle. It was the same size (24oz) that the black one I’d got from REI for almost $30 in rewards points is. This one was white, in perfect condition. And with my 25% senior Tuesday discount it was mine for $1.87! I’d say that next to my Italian made, sold by Barney’s of New York fedora for $7, and the leather fanny pack for $3, that was one of my best finds.

Mom has an appointment with her cardiologist this afternoon. I guess we’ll be talking about a possible surgery.

Another mailed check has disappeared. The October car payment mailed in September. The first one was the $200 we sent to the Navaho Nation back in March. Now there’s two checks floating around out there somewhere.

The bank wants $30 a pop for a stop payment. Fuck that.

At least with this latest snafu my sis-in-law was finally able to talk Mom into automatic payments. Nevermind that I’ve been trying to do that for the last two and a half years. Whatever.

There are only two bills left that need to be paid by mailed check, the Chevron card and Mom’s credit card. I don’t worry about them. At least not yet.

What is it, six days until the SHTF?

It may be an interesting show.
