Sunday

Computer guy said it's coming tomorrow, I'm OK with that. 

 

I deleted two "white guilt" people off my Facebook.  I have nothing to feel guilty about how I have treated the minorities in my life.  Ron would quite vehemently state I have done nothing but good for him and express gratitude I have kept him out of a nursing home.  I don't have to defend my racial attitudes. 

 

The Mexicans may party hard and have some issues with property lines, but in a pinch they have all helped us out.  All races seem to find Ron and I "cute" and people they want to help.  That is huge for us.  I have a hard time accepting help, though. 

 

I believe #2 may be getting ready to move back into the house, I don't think I will have any issues.  I have a regular yard guy, the house is maintained, we have decent insurance in case we have a claim, etc. 

 

One thing we did when we got the insurance policy, almost 20 years ago: we did a much larger personal liability limit, which wasn't that much more than the baseline we were first quoted.  So that is covered. 

 

And they should be processing the renewal about now.  I will be happy when we get the papers.  One thing I am very pleased with myself I had the policy at the ready when needed. 

 

I am cooking some lentils with sausage right now it will be tasty.  They will be tasty.  Because there is more than one lentil in my pot.  :p 

 

I am trying to get more "natural" fiber and not something out of a jar.  Although lentils do not really have a ton of fiber according to the package.  But they're quick. 

 

Cooking, that is.  I was happy to find "my" pinto bean seasoning at the Walmart.  There are two, the one I frequent in person and the one that delivers.  The one that delivers has products the first one doesn't.  So I took advantage of that and got the Pinto Bean seasoning.  Technically it is "Bolner's Fiesta Pinto Bean Seasoning".  I used to use it when I made the "Ham-Bean" soup for the deli. 

 

I would use 2 packages of Ham-Beens soup mix, a couple Tablespoons of the seasoning, and some cut up ham.  One thing I really miss about cooking: Ron used to cut things up for me, he was great.  I really miss that.  He bought me a chopper but it's not the same. 

 

 Maybe I will get that over bed table and he could chop things while lying in bed.  I did mention that to him and he remembered. 

 

I had a taste of the beans they are very good I will definitely be stocking up on plenty of the pinto bean seasoning.  It is an easy fix.  I put 1 and a half tablespoons seasoning, 1/4 t salt, 3-4 ounces cut up garlic sausage, and a cup of dry lentils.  Tasty. 

 

The silicone spoonula was very useful and worth the $7 I spent.  I got it in red I would like red kitchen accessories.  I am doing that.  It was good though did the job and didn't scratch. 

 

We have a little wind but it is sunny we are on the dry side of the storm.  I rolled up the exterior blinds yesterday and then Ron got overheated from the sun this morning "I thought I had the virus".  He was OK once I rolled it down again. 

 

Yes, "new curtains" are on the list.  I will have Carlos put them up when he does the room.  The beans are done I am going to let them cool before eating.  Both Ron and I hate eating very hot food we prefer to let it cool some. 

 

New computer tomorrow... that will be fun but a learning curve at it is a new OS.  I don't think it will be horrible I just hope Libre office works on it because that's what I use for spreadsheets.  Libre Office is a free download.  It has worked well for my needs.   I don't do much just basic calculations. 

 

I got most of an accounting certificate back in CA I took all the classes but one before I moved, and then the Texas accounting courses were very different so I would have had to start over from scratch, basically, and make time for it when I was supporting us working full time WITHOUT transportation... so I never pursued it. 

 

But I did teach Ron Excel which we found funny, as he had taught me DOS back in the day.  He wrote the templates I just basically input numbers. 

 

I will be downloading the office program, and Malware Bytes, that's about it I think.  Ron bought me some lanterns which will be a good addition to my disaster kit.  I didn't really have a good one and these are highly reviewed.  I need to get some AA batteries but that's it. 

 

Ron prepaid the gas bill for a few months... I need to pay the water bill. 

 

It is bright, hot, and sunny today I imagine many on the Gulf coast are not experiencing that today.  I actually like a nice hot summer, but I'm rare I think.  We have the thermostat set around 85 and I am happy with it. 

 

I am going to go dish up some beans.
