That's a good idea. I usually have a wad of receipts accumulating at the bottom of my purse.

Me too I got sick of it and started using the baggies.

I 'technically' got my license and health card renewed yesterday. It will take 4 weeks to get my new cards to me. In the meanwhile I have to carry two pieces of paper saying that I have renewed them. Do you know what happens to paper in my purse. So I have folded them up in little wads so they will fit in my wallet. Hopefully they will be safe in there.

I keep a small zip@lock sandwich bag in my purse for receipts etc but sometimes I take it out to go thru them and forget to put it back.

Mum was snoozing in her car waiting for her doctor's office to open and someone banged on the window and asked if she was ok.
No one holds doors for anyone here. It's not politically correct.

That’s what happened to me. Fellow knocked on car window to see if I was ok I think that’s very nice. I love a person who helps me in any way holding the door or such. Yesterday I told a friend I was meeting the girls and she told me they are not girls she learned that in Some class on women’s rights or such. I should call them ladies. I said they are old ladies do you want me to call them old ladies? Well I will call them what I want to call them. there is a show called the Golden Girls and they are not little girls. I’m like the red hat ladies I will wear red and purple if I choose and be politically incorrect if I choose and it doesn’t hurt anyone’s feelings. Now I’ve stepped off my soap box.
I chatted with my friend who has cancer and her treatments brought back memories of my hub’s treatments. Made me nervous thinking of it. Pet my cat and said some prayers and feel a bit better.

If they are making a change that will affect you, does it hurt to DISCUSS it before it is done?
There is a huge gossip at work that I try to avoid (and it isn't a woman!)
Bundle up in your woolens and stay warm and dry.
Love you back Susan

I remember. When someone asked my neighbor what was happening and my neighbor said “nothing I want to talk to you about.’ Loved it

I was up at 4:30 this morning, because Tazi-kitty saw the sun coming through the blinds and figured the day had started. (She wanted her breakfast).
I hope you can get ready and don't feel rushed.

Got thru the appointment by sleeping in car while son went inside. Had lunch at Cracker Barrel and then went to see a movie half price Tuesday slept in car waiting for movie time and nodded off during the ads in theater. Nice man held the door for me. So cute I wanted to flirt but didn’t. Loved the movie about world war 2. Your kitty is better than an alarm clock. Min is like that too

I haven't purchased a knitting magazine for a long time. Enjoy.

So much knitting patterns on computer no need to buy magazines. Cross stitch I need to be close to see the stitches. I make them bigger on computer but not comfortable holding it while stitching. Foolishly I made appointment for son’s doctor at 11 am so need to get up 9 am. Take meds at 2 am. Hope I can fall asleep then. When I want to I can’t.

Son stopped in Barnes and Noble to get me a cross stitch pattern magazine. Love it. Might finish the sweater instead of driving it. Still kind of like it. No decision yet.

Wish I knew how to de-chipmunk my property. Don’t want to hurt them just find them a place in the woods. One is as long as a fish fry then I saw a baby maybe more than one. Cost $6,200 to fix the car wiring they chewed. Insurance paid all but $200 which I paid. That would have bought a lot of yarn etc.

Our mechanics don't like to keep cars on their lots due to insurance issues. I hope you get your car back soon.
It sounds like it's time to get another heater. I have to get another air cleaner for my room. Mine only works on high speed now and it is too noisy for me to sleep at that speeed.
Everything is made to break these days, even things that are expensive. (Like cars!)
I hope you have a good appointment today.

The therapist will wrap my legs so they decrease in size. 3 to 4 weeks 3 times a week. I don't like to be late so when I have an appointment I’m edgy. 10to 12 appointments I’ll be quite edgy. Just glad she can help me.

There are lots of sites that point out the physical and mental benefits of knitting.
(Although I don't feel that way when I'm up against a badly written pattern

)
Check out the free patterns on Ravelry. There are lots and I'm sure you'll find something.

I like Ravelry. I have a lot of books and patterns I’ve collected since I was around 12 years old maybe 8 years. I don’t know what son can do when I die because he won’t know who would love them as I do.
My problem is choosing what to knit. Sometimes a piece just calls my name. Then I’m a happy person. Thanks for the site on benefits of knitting.
The mechanic got the motor light off and fixed the heater. But today the light went on again. He will look at it on the 29th and says it’s ok to drive it. I didn’t realize how much I need my car until I didn’t have it for a month. I’ve always sympathized with people who don’t have a car.
