Rainy day Wednesday

When I called my mom about 10 minutes before her investment guy was to call, she had remembered and was waiting for the call, so that was good. It was a little longer call than usual for the quarterly update. He usually has "suggestions" of some of her stocks he wants to sell of and then several to purchase. Of course we always say ok, sounds good! LOL. Overall, he said they are feeling optimistic about the economy and investments, especially by around October, as we are finally getting out of Covid and businesses back to operating fully again.

DH got his pickup upgrade finished up last night, it sounds like. Ready for a test drive - only it's pouring rain, so he won't do it, LOL. He's already tired enough from it all, he won't want to have to wash the whole thing to put it back in the shop if he drives it out in the rain, LOL. It's supposed to rain most of today and all day tomorrow. I must say I was glad to wake up to the rain. I can take a break from watering flowers and plants while my back is still healing up.

It was nice sitting down to my cleaned up desk this morning. I still have a stack of papers to weed through, but at least they are all in one pile and off my desk (in an empty small bankers box now).

I made another Amazon order yesterday, but finally not truck parts, haha. I ordered dh's New Balance tennis shoes (he looks ridiculous walking around here with duct tape on his shoe, LOL) and ordered myself some new reusable keurig pods, where I can fill my own coffee. The ones I have are worn out and not letting the water flow through very well anymore. It comes in a pack of 4 and only $6. I don't remember them being that cheap when I bought them about 4 years ago. Those pods already filled with coffee are so much more expensive then just filling a reusable one up with my own coffee.

When I was getting ready for bed last night my dog followed me in. I straightened out the bed from him taking a nap on it earlier in the day, LOL. He always has to move the blanket off the end of the bed. Then I was playing with him a bit and he decided to get down on the floor and start doing some zoomies, but tried to go back out into the rest of the house, trying to run on hard floor. So, I had him go upstairs where it's all carpeting and we zoomied around a bit. He used to try to get our old dog to play like that, but he never would much. It was just good to see him feeling better. He's finally starting to eat without having to be encouraged and stand there with him. I honestly think it was just that he had never eaten alone before! I think he thought he was supposed to wait for the other dog before he could eat.

I have nothing to read! Every ebook I have tried to get through the library is a wait and nothing I've put on reserve has become available yet. So, I've been watching some shows. Trying to finish up Season 5 of Outlander now. I should re-read all those books! That would take awhile, LOL. Nah, don't think I'm in the mood for books that long. (though they are one of my most favorite book series)

We are now seeing the eagles back at the nest again, off and on. I wonder why they left it for so many months. I got this picture yesterday, of them both at the nest, through our telescope.

When I placed my big Walmart grocery pick up order last week (Thursday) it was for about $370 (final total to be adjusted for weight items), but they put a hold on my credit card for $429 to "make sure all funds are available when they put the final total through". Ok, I can understand that, but now the final total charge of $369 has been posted as completed, yet the $429 is still showing as a hold, so my credit card balance is more than double what it should be. It's been 7 days now, I think they could remove/release that dang hold by now! It's just annoying me to keep logging in and still seeing $429 as "pending".
