Hello and Happy Sunday!

Yesterday was my birthday. 😁 I wish I could post the video on my phone of the heart attack in a box my eldest spawn sent me. When I took the top off a bunch of wind up butterflies flew out and candy went everywhere. And it had a tiny cake inside. Cute but holy fuck. What an adrenaline rush. 🤣

On the Home Front: On Monday I found home owners insurance with Allstate AND transferred our auto insurance (5 vehicles and 4 drivers) to them, too. Fuck you, State Farm. *uses rude gesture* Maybe next time you won't fuck over loyal customers. I'm kidding. I'm sure they always will.

I did stuff Tues through Thurs, but don't really remember what. I guess I was so relived to have settled the insurance issue I blocked everything else out. lol

Friday I did all my cleaning instead of on Saturday because...

Saturday was my 54th birthday. And I don't do fuckall on my birthday (or Mother's Day). I did a near complete internet blackout and only posted the video above to Facebook. lol I pretty much sat around and re-read two of my favorite books, Darkness Dawns and The Lasaran both by Dianne Duvall. I ordered Waffle House breakfast online and picked it up when we went to get our Pokestop for the day. My youngest bought us dinner at Texas Roadhouse. I ordered online and we picked it up. No way I want to go out and eat on a Saturday evening especially now. And it was SO busy. Good call. I opened presents, had cake, and made Dreamsicles then read until 1:15am. It was a great day! 

Touching Nature: Windy, rainy, sunny, cold, warm...eh, we've had ALL the weather this week.

Book News: Making progress on the reading front. Making no progress on the review writing. Ugh.

Don't Touch That Dial!: Only 3 episodes left of The Mentalist. Still need to watch The Book of Boba Fett.

At the Flicks: Nope.

Cyberspace Playground: Been playing Wordle and enjoying the challenge. After 4 yrs I had to quit Wordscapes because when I got my new phone the game did not transfer all of my considerable amount of shit. I contacted support and they were like, oh well, lol. So goodbye POS. For Wordle I discovered that I must be using different apps for it or something because I play it on my desktop, phone, and iPad and the words are all different. I get my word fix for the day x3 so I'm happy.

Randomness:  

Carol's Nuggets of Wisdom: Don't put a bear on your state flag.

That's it for me. AVR News Update signing off. May all your books enthrall you.

  1. I'm so glad you had a great birthday. Happy birthday Carol. And it's a relief to find insurance. I changed auto insurance because they just kept raising the price and I don't drive much, no accidents, no tickets, and the car is getting older. I love the look of the Guild Codex comic books.

  2. Happy birthday! I love the Hurricanes cake. :) I play Wordle too. I use the NY Times one, but I know there are a ton of versions of the game. I'm just too lazy to branch out and find the other ones.
