There's a humorous bit by Melani Sanders over on Instagram called "The I Just Don't Care Anymore Club." She aims it at pre through post menopausal women and has struck a chord with a lot of women. One she read recently was "I don't care if I wrote the same item on the shopping list more than once." That's me - I can sometimes look down the list and find several repeats and feel sheepish about it, but so what?

The appointment this morning carried the most weight of the week's appointments as far as lifelong consequences, my friend had to go to that hearing under certain circumstances - not too independent, so I drove her there instead of her headed down in her wheelchair. Her attorney assured her she did well, and I hope so, I sat outside the room and conversed with the federal guard who is probably into his third pay period without a check. At one point he before they went in he asked her about her work history, and why she left. On one job she said she'd been a temp and it ended, but he reminded her "it was painful to do so you had to leave." It didn't quite register at the moment so when I had her attention I asked her attorney "is that pretty much the best answer for any of that job history?" and and he said yes, so she understood that when she had difficulties and left jobs she has to tell the judge why, and it was the maneuverability and pain. My contribution to the hearing.

I've spent so much time in the car lately I started dialing around through the Sirius channels and have saved a couple more in the radio links. Reminding myself I have to call for the annual "don't renew it it's too expensive" call in which they offer to continue the introductory rate. If they don't, I will bail and just listen to regular radio.

Roofer comes over this afternoon as we plan to purchase the shingles for the job. I don't write huge checks very often, but this will be one of those times, and even though the money came from the insurance company it still hurts to write one that large.

Groceries were left at the mutual aid pantry; it was empty and these won't go far, but every bit helps.
