Alright, it’s been awhile but lets not get our panties all up in a bundle. Consistency has always been my forte…but there’s worse things in life, right? No one’s looking, adjust those little fellas and let us move forward!
I had a bit of a setback this week, but this too shall pass. *sigh*I got my car back Saturday, the smog dude came through! It’s so purty again… Insurance Registration/Tags Dents/Scratches fixed Happy Camper
Issues resolved with DMV, aw hell no! But it’s a good start eh?
My son asked me if I puppy/house sit in June while he and the future Mrs go to Washington. He lives in Phoenix and I’ve made that drive close to 1 million times, I really don’t mind it and was kind of leaning that way vs flying. After the deal his fiance’ got last week, I may just change my mind! $24.50 one way, I kid you not. It may have been a one time deal, but definitely worth checking out! She flew out of Ontario, California, and was to arrive in Phoenix around 10ish, their departure had been delayed due to heavy winds in Phoenix. My son calls me from the airport,
“Mom, they say the plane is on time and will be land soon, back in Ontario.”
“Check again,”
“I did”
I told him I would call the airlines and see what was going on, “Mama will get to the bottom of this!”
I was told, the plane was about 9 minutes out of Phoenix and everything was fine…for some reason their system hadn’t been updated yet. Just as I hang up, my son calls,
I joked, “She there yet?” knowing she would be in 8.5 minutes
“No…”
I chimed in with the good news, “They should be landing in Phoenix as planned…”
“Mom! I just got of the phone with them too, they said the plane was approaching Ontario, they turned around.” Now I’m sensing we’re both going into a bit of a panic mode. “How can they not know where her plane is?”
I knew everything was fine, but he did have a good point!! “I’ll call the airlines again, Mama will get to the bottom of this!” I explained the situation again, the lady said, “Well, lets not get our panties all up in a bundle, let me check for you.” The plane was indeed landing back in Ontario. They had circled around Phoenix waiting for the winds to let up, but ended up having to come back to refuel. I called my son back who by then, had been in touch with his fiance’. He said she was doing fine, they were getting gas and once they had a thumbs up would be en-route again! She eventually arrived safe and sound!! Two trips to Phoenix in one night = $49.00! Freakin’ unbelievable!!!

Not to be the big complainer but….this So. Calif weather really has my turtle confused, she is still in hibernation. When it’s warm for a few days, I can hear her start rustling around. But when it goes from 80 to rain in o.1 days, it really messes with a reptiles head. I think I am going to play Mother Nature and see if I can encourage her to wake up when it warms up again. You can only store up so much food for so long. I would know!!!
I really need to get some flowers planted. I love gardening but have yet to establish one since we’ve lived here. I have developed quite the green thumb over the years you know!I did go through a couple little houseplants I have….dusted the leaves, fluffed the moss, etc…Guess what I found? Dead leaves in one, and a dead flower in another. I guess I’m losing my touch, they’re silk!! This beaut bloomed a week or so ago, it’s real…
