Tuesday this and that

If I happen to get a reply back from this guy who's mom was married to my dad, then I'm going to ask about a child she may have had in 1971. What if he doesn't know about it? If it were me, I would definitely want to know (and so would my sis) if my mom had a child I didn't know about, but maybe some people are different. But, he and his sister were like 6 and 8 when their mom was married to my dad and would have had this child, how could they not have some memory of this? They were at an age they also probably could even remember my dad a bit. I still vaguely remember the step dad I had in my mom's 2nd marriage and I was only aged 6 when they got divorced (my mom has married 3 times).

When my dad divorced wife # 4  the record shows he lived in a town in a county neighboring their hometown/county. She lived in their home town/county. BUT, the divorce was processed in a 3rd, different nearby town/county. I wonder why? Plus this town/county where the divorce was finalized is mainly an Indian reservation town/county. Again, I wonder why it was filed in that town. Why wouldn't she just file in the town/county the divorce record show's she was living in at the time? Just a little thing that makes me want to find out details, LOL.

Anyhow, I'm probably pretty much at a dead end with it, for the most part. I'm really leaning towards the theory she gave this child up for adoption. Based on their marriage date and dad saying a child born 7 months later that would put the birth around March 1971. The counties they were married/lived/divorced in are all small populated/small towns. I can find several birth records of children born around this time in these counties, but none with her listed as the mother, even when I just put her first name in only.

We lost our power for 3 hours yesterday afternoon. No idea why, as we weren't having any storm. I had just been about to submit a quarterly city tax return for work when it went out, due that day. I told dh it better come back on by midnight, as that was my deadline for filing on time, LOL. 

I can't figure out why my Walmart app won't let me check in anymore when I get there to do a grocery pick up. It has not worked like the last 3 times. The first time I clicked on the link in the text I got that my order was ready and check in if you are on your way it took me to the app, but wanted me to sign in my Walmart account and I didn't have my log in info with me. I fixed that when I got home, but the last 2 or 3 times, it still has not worked. I keep having to call the phone number on the sign. It used to be I'd click on the link and it would take me to a page where it either tracked me how far I was away or once I pulled in it would say you've arrived and I would tap in my space# and color of my car.

I decided I'd better add me to the AAA plan we got before our trip to Texas. I had just paid for it for DH to be the driver, since he only drives the truck (especially pulling a trailer), but as I was driving my car into the city Saturday I thought what if my car breaks down (it is getting old)? DH has no way now to come pick me up, since his pickup is not working. So, for like $14 I added me and I feel better now.

It's so foggy this morning I can't even see the river.  I'm reading a good book by the same author who wrote The Martian (made into the movie) called Project Hail Mary. If you like science fiction, it is good. It does have a similar feel as The Martian, where it's a lone guy (for the most part) in space.
