Better sleep and other stuff

Sleep came well last night. In fact I was sleeping so hard I slept almost a half hour past my normal waking time. But, I was at my desk only 15 minutes "late". Hard to say late, when it doesn't really matter what time I start work. I just like to be very consistent with my schedule, so I almost always start at 7:30. I got my little cup of coffee this morning and needed it, haha.

Yesterday Amazon delivered most of my monthly subscribe and save items. It's mostly dog stuff. DH had just refilled the dog food bin and says "do you realize you have 3 bags (40# bags) of dog food, including what I just poured in the bin?" I'm like yep - trying to stock up, like we discussed. He says "oh good, ya, in case stores get empty of stuff again." Yep.

Yesterday I did $4.50 in MTurks. Today I'm already over $8. DH and I were just standing at my office window this morning looking at all the birds using the little birdbath and see a row boat with fishermen going by on the river. They had found the "spot" where the water kind of calms and pools a bit (a favorite fishing spot of the bald eagles and ducks) so were holding themselves there for a few minutes, casting their lines out. Kind of relaxing looking. 

Even birds that must be migrating through are stopping to use my birdbath. I just now saw a couple of birds with yellow on top of their heads and on their back.When they flew off their whole back looked yellow with the wings open. I need my bird guide book I ordered! I think it will be here in tomorrow's mail. It will be the first thing I look up :)

Now my mom is confused/forgetting about her credit card. She has a couple of bills charge to it automatically each month as well as she will use it for purchases when we go to stores or grab lunch somewhere. It's linked to her bank account with checking and savings. I think she got the email that her monthly payment applied, but she wanted to know what it was for. I had to explain when she logs into her bank online she can click on the Visa and see the transactions. Once I said to her well, it's charges like your cell phone bill, internet. We went to Target and Walgreens......she was like oh ok. Her Visa card is a "AAA" visa and honestly when she see's that I think she gets it confused with AAA, as far as she used to have membership with them when she had a car and when she first see's something about her AAA visa card, she's only seeing the AAA and not noticing the visa part of the email. I'm sure it would be easy to say "just don't have a credit card" but then she'd just have to use a debit card and then have to write in each transaction in her checkbook....and just writing one transaction for "credit card payment" is much easier for her now.

DD just got a really nice email she was cc'd in. It went to her immediate boss and even 2 higher ups, praising her work cleaning up on an extra supplier she took on her work load about a month ago.
