Taylor Swift Eras Tour movie.

Lili took Mom and I yesterday to see the movie. It's 3 hours long and is literally her concert filmed in L.A.  i wasn't sure this was something I really wanted to see.  However, it was great!  We loved every minute of it.  She is beautiful, the stage, costumes and effects were amazing.  Plus...no screaming fans!  I'm positive the movie experience let's you see way more, much clearer than from any where in a stadium.  Well worth a watch if you get a chance to go.  At the end two young girls came and traded friendship bracelets with Lili.  So sweet.  

Sigh

My fault.  I didn't stay on top of the details.  It's so much easier to take Kai to Children's for the day than Luk so I relaxed.  Last minute seeking the tap form proved difficult and I'm stuck at the walk in line up this morning.  Got here an hour and a half early and am 3rd in line.  Sucky way to start a Saturday for sure.  Eric is bringing Kai to meet me at 10, when they open.

We have someone coming to see the 5th wheel today.  Eric has the motorhome exhaust project finished to his satisfaction so it can be sold now.  He's working on emptying it today.  It's so sad.  Sooooo many memories.  Then Lili is coming home to take me and Gramma to see the Taylor Swift Eras Tour movie.  So that's fun.  

Update:  big sigh.  Was 3rd in line, got to the window and was told easy, she could do that for us but would we mind waiting for her to check the line in.  Sure.  No problem.  45 minutes for her to check in the line!!!!  Then I leap up at my turn and she says who is the referring Dr.  I said it's specialty services there isn't a Dr so any Dr will do.  She says she can't stamp it with their Dr unless Kai sees one and the day is full.  But I was 3rd in line....too bad.  You can come back tomorrow.  Are you freaking kidding me.  I said can I leave the form here for someone to look at, no.  I said our pediatrician fills them out for specialty services all the time.  She tells me to go see them.  Yes, as I mentioned before they are out of the pink tap forms.  Blank stare.  I asked if I could have the blank pink form to take to the pediatrician next week.  Yes.  Finally.  I'm half way there.  I think.  A mere 3 hours.

Oh, and the moment we get to the window she asks if Kai has a family Dr and I say no, he has a pediatrician and he yells at her "AND I HAVE POOP IN MY BUTT".  Because the receptionist, waiting room and long line behind us all needed to know that.  Oh, and while in the hallway line up that is frightfully quiet my stomach is making all the noises and gurgles because I dared to eat half a peanut butter and banana sandwich because diabetic and not eating is no longer an option.  Then Eric dropped Kai who was salty because he realized it was a line up and he forgot his phone.  So he sat in a sulk breathing super loud.  He needs his nose cleaned out but picking his nose for him in the line wasn't a great option so we all listened to his breathing.  Just a wee glimpse into my world, just one little moment.  

Oh and Children's called back they're sorry, they can see a form was supposed to be sent but it wasn't so they can offer one for our return trip home.  Half nice.  However if we show up in the morning to the ferry without a tap form we move immediately to stand by and risk not making it over for an appointment we've waited five years for.  

Oh, and Kai didn't have a poop problem, he just has words that illicit attention.  I think.  

Crofton Witch Float

They circled every now and then and cackled.  It was fabulous.  They sounded so good and totally like witches from a Scooby Doo episode.

Great company and we had some nice chats with the other spectators.  Best of all, the rain held off, slight drizzle.  It was a great night.

Poppy had a great time and met some pups.

Looking for a document.

Arrggg.  

Our house insurance went up $400, again.  We went through this last year.  Not everyone wants to insure a 1910 house.  It would cost way more to duplicate than a newer building.  The wood panel versus drywall comes up a lot.  Anyway.  If we can show the release of the mortgage from Home Trust it will reduce it by $350.  Where do you suppose I would have put such a letter?!  From about four years ago, I think.  

I mean...I was just thrilled to not have a mortgage payment anymore.  I don't think the letter played out as important to me but I'm positive I would have kept it and I do remember getting it.

It's not in the banking file, or house file, or insurance file, or misc file or receipts file.  Last place to look is the safe I suppose.  I can't imagine why I'd have put it there.

There must be another way/place to prove that you own your property out right.  Land titles?  

Update, yes, it was in the safe with the land title document that I obviously deemed important.  

So, this was a public notice post for everyone to check the insurance discounts offered on your house insurance policies.  

Next dilemma to deal with.  Kai has an appointment on Wednesday at Children's.  The online ferry system won't let my credit card number go in.  So I can't get a reservation. And I'm realizing we don't have a tap form.  Our pediatrician is out of pink forms.  So, now making calls to see if an emailed one will work or if I need to line up at the crack of daylight for a walk in doctor.  What a day.  Sheesh.  

Never mind all the regular things going on.  

Mom's Birthday

Natchos and apple crisp :)

Happy Birthday Mom!

Oscar's Halloween Decorations

When my insanity moves over to Eric ;)

No theme, just a little of everything from Dollartree.  Lots of zap ties and 8 strings of battery pumpkin and bat lights.  Looking ahead and guessing we'll need xmas stuff too.  Oscar will need his own box in the garage just for his supplies.  

Eric took over with sifting through the stuff for things that would attach and withstand wet weather.  There was even mumbling about decorating early to drive around with the week before Halloween.  Haha.  I can't picture doing that but the boys liked the idea.

My co-worker this morning was sleeping with her paws wrapped around her face.  So cute.  She changed position the second I got close with the camera.  Of course.

Eric has been fussing about the rattle at the back of Oscar.  Insisting I order new hinges.  He sent me this picture with the cap off so I could match the hinge for ordering.  I responded with 'looks like it just needs new bolts'. $7 later the new bolts did the trick.  He is delighted the sound is gone :)  He is enjoying working on the Jeep.  Everything is so accessible.  

It was Jia's Gotcha yesterday.  She picked ribs and fries.  It was a quiet night at home. No pictures and she didn't want to hear her story.

Eric found a twin in the states.  He thought it might be fun to have matching Jeeps.  Good Lord.  

Thanksgiving fun.

I made them try on the xmas jammies.  Jia's are too small.  Luk and Fei say they'll never wear them.  Lili and Kai are using them as their Halloween costumes.  A bust as xmas jammies.  Maybe we'll repeat an old set ;)

No feast pictures.  It was gorgeous.  Eric out did himself.
