Well today was like any Monday here in Hamilton. I went to work and Walmart :-) Not like that was a surprise for anyone. I had to return some potting soil and buy Antibacterial Wipes. Is this necessary that I am giving a play by play of Walmart shopping? Oh my! Pray for me…My friend Billy was my cashier again, and he asked how my day was going, and if with all my health food if I ate at the deli at Walmart (no).
So today was a BEAUTIFUL day and I would love to be outside except the pollen is so horrible! Everyone here is having a hard time with it and in a matter of minutes outdoors, I am a sneezing wreck! One of my next door neighbors and I were discussing the pollen covering out cars tonight and she informed me that she was going to talk to the land lady about the red wasp invasion. I was taken back by the term “invasion” but it is clear that red wasps are truly trying to invade our area. I told her that I did a cute graceful dance to get away from several a couple of days ago. Don’t let my adjectives fool you, it was not cute and I was certainly NOT graceful. So yay for that being taken care of. I am super cautious of opening the cars on my doors particularly with the red wasps as they like to blend in with my car and hide in the cracks of the doors! YIKES!
It feels like summer here and the already 80-85 degree weather is a little unusual for my liking in March and of course awakening the tree pollen and bugs!
Earlier today, my best friend helped me by finishing cooking my lunch on the stove while I ran to the nearest window to keep cell phone coverage for a call from Africa! Friends are good for all things, even helping you maintain cell phone coverage in the country!!
Tonight I came over to my friend’s to use the internet, because replying to everything via the touch screen on my phone takes longer than I’d like to invest in (but lets face it, I have the time to spare lol). A couple of people over here were eating venison, yes deer meat that someone brought back from hunting. My friend asked me (while I was eating my spinach, carrots, and cucumbers) if I would like to try a bite. SO…I did :-) And it tasted really…uh…meaty. Haha! I’ll spare my other thoughts. I am not a big red meat person, but now I can add that I tried deer to my list! What better way to try deer meat than here in the good ole country right?
Lastly, due to not being in a big city with my bank, Chase bank, I have learned new ways to manage my account. Thankfully my new job set me up with Direct Deposit but I had to ask previous to moving what to do with other checks I received. Today I got to use my “Chase Bank” Android APP to scan and upload a check for the first time. Pretty cool right? I was impressed! I’m so thankful for incredible technology that allows me to do things like deposit checks without driving 100 miles to do so. Another side note with technology is that I had a funny conversation with a Sprint representative on Saturday. I was calling him about some repairs that I needed on my phone. When he looked for the nearest Sprint Store to my zip code he said, “WOW…um…I’m sorry mam but there isn’t one within 50 miles of you.” I laughed and told him that I already knew that and a search for within a 100 mile radius would pull a couple.
I got to speak with my dad tonight and my mom last night so that was refreshing! I’m thankful for incredible friends and family!
Goodnight y’all! I learned the correct way to spell “y’all” as in my head I always spelled it “ya’ll”.
