Yay for the sunshine this morning and for the wind calming down. The wind was so bad Friday it blew the roof and wall off a small concrete building that at one time was probably a store. When the roof let go the walls started to go. There was a family living in there (I always thought it was storage). The city came down with a bulldozer right away to push down what ever was standing. There was someone in the structure, but the police got him out before the wall gave in.

It was also windy enough to blow down the back neighbors rotten pice of fencing. Huzzah for it landing in their yard. I hope they do something with it. I do have some privacy screening I can put up... white lattice that would look nice. We shall see what happens. I hope they take down all of it.

I have been feeling very stressed about things. Living in the Axis of Evil States has caused much doom scrolling. The boss's non verbal disappointment in me plus trying to cope with Dad's financial issues due to the costs of meds is sparking up enough anxiety that it is triggering my neurological disorder. It's been a long time since that happened. I need a winning lottery ticket so I can buy insurance and just work someplace part time... or not at all ;-)

I try to talk to my sister for a bit of emotional support and all she talks about is not having a dog and how they need to get a new kitchen floor, but she won't let her SO, the SO's SIS and Mother (they all live in one house) get vinyl or linoleum because it off gases. (I work with paint so I know about VOCs). I would tell her to move out. I like my kitchen and bathroom floors and non of my pets have ever been affected by vinyl. Oi.

And all the while she was going on about floors I was on the computer and found a Great Dane breeder 4 hours away that has all sorts of awards, 5 years worth of reviews and raises the dogs with kids and pets (including cats) and even has pups on the premises so she could go visit and see them and the adult dogs.

So once I made her happy with dog stuff do you think I could get any emotional support. Nope. One of these days I am going to ask her to pitch in money or items for Dad care. Pay for his cell phone, or part of cable, or a med. Even just send some of the no salt seasonings... anything.

WOWZA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's what I call windy. :o :o :o

I don't mean to be rude, but your sister is a selfish wench. :o :o :o
Hugs, Jon

Those VOCs I just dunno. We have old vinyl which is starting to show it's wear. But will even taking it out and disturbing it set off gasses. I would love to get some new in my kitchen just confused about the VOCs

I am sorry your health is suffering with your horrible boss, sigh.

*Hugs*, you have so much to cope with. Does your sister pitch in anything to help? I think I would if it was my dad, too.

She does not help. She will visit once a year and tries to do things. The only plus is that if my Dad has to have the heart pump implanted then she will come up for 8 weeks to help with physical care. I may go crazy with that, but at least she offered.

It was super windy up here too.

Ugh, sorry about your sister. She sounds very self-absorbed. =(

Self absorbed and coddled. There is a 96 year old in the house that needs 24 hour care...feeding, toileting, walking... and she wants to bring in a Great Dane puppy. Not wise.
