Oh It's Monday Again!

     Now that I'm getting a little older, Monday's come and go so fast. This morning was filled with dread as I drove into town. Usually mom accompanies me, but this time I was on my own.

    The court house was as pale as ever, with it's menacing double mahogany doors. I have failed (NOT INTENTIONALLY) to do my civic duty and now I have to answer for it. I never recieved a letter stating that I had to do jury duty, or I would have gone. No one gave me a curtesy call or came by, so now I have a day at court. This is so humiliating and I just know that this will get back to grandma's church circle.

      I wasn't notified, so I don't believe I should get treated like a common criminal. As I was driving across the mountain I noticed the pinkish red sky, and I thought for a second that this was a warning. I the sky was breathtakingly beautiful. 
      Dread filled me as I parked my car. Why did this have to happen? If the people had done their job none of this would be necessary. I think who ever was responsible of the mailing letters should be here in my place. This community will never let me live this down. I can still remember when the deputy came by my house to deliver the paperwork for today. He said, " you missed your jury duty, and now you will have a day at court." I didn't know. Believe it or not, I actually teared up and had to walk away.

       I had myself all worked up for nothing. I went in and had to turn around and leave. It seems as if they will reconvene in July because the judge had changed his mind.

LGFCU to Civic Bank

      This transition or merger has driven me absolutely crazy. I hate it and cannot even fathom how everything will work out. As a customer, I'm so annoyed and the lack of answers by actual people is ridiculous. So, I guess it will be only online banking? With school, a toddler, and a small farm I have not had the chance to move everything over to a different bank. It wouldn't matter anyway, because I have a loan through them that will transfer to the Civic bank.      Ahhhh!  Today, our cards stopped working and I was so upset. I had forgot and didn't get money out of the ATM beforehand. They forget that some of us are over 30 minutes away from the nearest town! I guess cash is really KING! I just home all my automatic withdrawals don't mess up along with everything else. I have no idea how older people will get through this phase. Both my mom and grandmother don't even use computers and can barely operate their phones. Both of them have never even us...

The Teacher's Lie by Brid Cummings

     A book review at its finest. I think every book is worthy of a review, so here goes nothing. I think the overall story is worth your time, however, I feel like the person who read it aloud on audible did the book dirty. Her accent and weird pausing in the middle of sentences really threw me off as a reader. I actually went back and purchased a paper copy. The author kept me guessing throughout each chapter, but the book was slow moving. I would put it down often to just take a break.      I would give this book a 3 out of a 5 due to the pacing and sequencing of events in the plot. Do not listen to it on  Audible, because it's terrible and dry.

Counting

      Counting on something is just another way to set yourself up. Each year I do this and you would think that I learned from the previous year's mistake, but NO I didn't. So here we are again sitting down here at the pout house thinking about how we are going to rebound from my expectations. Money can be made again and future planning will be taking place.           I will have to count my losses fully take responsibility for the fact that our egg production just cannot keep up with the demand. I will have to pay back a few people because I cannot fill their orders. Egg production drops during the winter months.  I know the ladies I work with will just want to barter for something else. Maybe once we get ducks that can be a trade off. I do not know a lot about ducks and will have to do some extensive research. We do have a small pond on the premises and that will fill some of the needs.          Any pointers o...
