I went to mobile deposit my side job check this morning and realized my account has been stimulated for the $1200 from the IRS. A nice little boost to start out the year, I guess.
Somehow my mom got the ring volume on her phone turned off and of course it's impossible to figure out out over the phone. I had finally told her to go downstairs and see if the lady at the front desk can help her figure it out. I meant to text my uncle to let him know, but I forgot and he called last evening as he had tried to call her several times and she didn't answer. So, I guess it didn't get fixed. I looked up her (flip phone) model online and it appears to adjust the ring volume you have to use the menu, rather than the volume buttons on the side. I have a feeling I'm going to have to go see her today or tomorrow to get it figured out. I had thought it was probably controlled by her side buttons, but that only changed the volume on the call (so then I was really loud, she said....grrrr!). I don't know how she would have managed to get into her menu and mess it up in the first place.
I stayed up until 10:30. Slept in until 7:45 this morning. We did hear some gunshots (coming from where we have been hearing them for months now) apparently celebrating the new year.
We got the new mirror hung up in the entryway. I cannot take good pictures. Either they are dark or too much light and washed out. I tried to play around with the editing in the phone so make it look brighter and this is best I ca get it. It looks lighter in person and I love it. I want to get a tall-ish plant to set on the floor to the right of the mirror
And a picture to go above it. I tried to hint to dh we need to go to the big gift shop in the next town, where we have gotten several framed art, to look, but he didn't get the hint ;)
I've been trying to chase up my second son's first stimulus cheque but no luck so far. I guess he'll have to claim it when he does his taxes, but then that should be a nice surprise for when the baby comes. Happy new year to you!
ReplyDeletehope you can figure out how to get it for him. I think my half sis might be eligible for one. She's US citizen but has lived in Canada since she was 10. I'm going to help her figure it out here soon.
DeleteHappy New Year! I like the way your entrance looks. I have a similar table at the entrance too and a NYC poster is framed on top of it. I like to move my wall decorations around from time to time.
ReplyDeleteI would like to move stuff around too, but my DH is like an over-do-er with hanging stuff and putting screws with anchors in the walls...and then sometimes he feels he also has to put double sided sticky tape underneath...just to make sure it's not going anywhere! LOL.
DeleteI eenjoyed reading your post
