15 minutes could save you …

It’s almost that time again, auto insurance renewal time.  I really wish that auto policies were like homeowner’s policies in that they ran for a year instead of 6 months.  I mean if your like most people your on the payment treadmill in that you have to make monthly payments because you can’t afford to shell out that large sum of cash.  I also think that if you buy auto insurance and don’t file a claim you should be able to get a refund, I mean the coverage was there but you didn’t need it.  Shame it doesn’t work that way. 

Last night I spent sometime on trying to find a lower price and I actually did with GEICO but the coverage wasn’t 100% the same but it’s $200 cheaper over all.  I like the coverage I have and don’t really want to give any of it up, so I am staying put with my present company that I have been with for 21 years.  My insurance went down this time, that doesn’t often happen but I am thankful.  It wasn’t much and were still in the $800 range for 6 months of coverage.

I have successfully run all of my errands for Sunday.  I should have gone to Target but I opted to save that for next weekend.  It’s not a major must do so why not put it off.  Now I have to finish up the laundry and break out the sucking machine then peel the cats off the ceiling and then scrape these whiskers off of my face and grab a shower.  I’m having the Stouffer’s casserole I like so much for supper and may throw in a piece of left over pizza with it.  Last Week Tonight is on and I always look forward to that even if it’s on past my normal bedtime.  I suspect that I will be watching it tomorrow night when I come home, rather than tonight but time will tell.

I go on-call tomorrow.  With the departure of stupid at work my boss picked up his on-call shifts and well when the boss is on-call he makes sure to make us all feel like were on-call right along with him.  It’s a little bit of keeping an eye and ear out and then jumping when something happens.  I can do that every 3rd week but 2 weeks back to back is a little bit of a challenge.  Ah well I do what I can and everyone seems to love me so I guess I’m blessed even though it feels more like a curse. 

It’s a nice day outside but a little on the humid side.  I love my a/c and can’t imagine life without it.  I’ve been catering to Gator and keeping the house a few degrees warmer this summer than I am comfortable with.  When it becomes unbearable for me, I just apologize to her and turn the thermostat down.  You’d think with wearing a fur coat year round and having a built in heater her thermostat would self regulate but that isn’t the case.  She hates cold no matter when it happens be it in Winter or Summer.  She loves to curl up in my bed under the covers when I am not in bed.  Last night I was making the bed and put the top sheet and comforter over her and she got all kinds of upset.  I thought it was cute but she was not amused.  Were still buddies though.  I let her and her mother sleep in my bed last night because they looked too comfortable to move but tonight all bets are off and I’m getting into my bed, cats or no cats. 

Here’s hoping that the sun is shining on you and that it’s reasonably comfortable where you are.  Resort like weather.  A co-worker told me that Scotland is like that year round.  Wow I’d love to move there but only for the weather.  I’ve got a bucket list of places to visit and Scotland isn’t on the list.  California for sure is at the top, Florida is at the bottom and in the middle is Canada and Hawaii.  How’s that for variety.  I’d also like to go on a cruise a week or a few days to see if I like it and then once I fall in love I could easily be gone for 2 weeks.  One minor thing is stopping me, that’s the cats.  The major stoppage is money.  However, it’s good to have dreams, desires and plans – kind of gives you something to look forward to, especially when one or more of them turn into reality. 

Take care and come back again to find out what else is going on in my world.  I appreciate you stopping by.  So long for now.
