Out of the Blū

So... I have a situation and I'm not sure how to proceed.

So... I have a situation and I'm not sure how to proceed. I've been having some plumbing issues, but when I called a plumber they said it sounded like septic tank issues. I thought I was on sewer, though, so I called the water works and they came out and said that no - I am probably not on sewer. I will call a septic tank guy - I can handle that (unless anyone has any recommendations), but um... water works has been charging me sewer charges for 12 years. Turns out that adds up to not nothing. I don't think I have copies of bills dating all the way to back when I moved in here, though.

Should I contact the water works? Should I be cool and try to get copies of my bills first? Should I contact a lawyer? I don't know what the smartest thing to do would be. I also wonder if all of my neighbors are being charged, as well. Could this be kind of a big deal?

Saved the best (and longest) for last. 😁😁😁

Opening a gift from one of her friends. Her face! ❤️❤️❤️

Happy Birthday song and Smashing of the face. 😁😁😁

I didn't get to come on Facebook...

I didn't get to come on Facebook and wish a Happy 18th Birthday to the most amazing girl I know (Kira, duh!) but it's because we had a really busy day. Kira wanted to take a pack of friends to Dave and Busters in Atlanta to celebrate so we rented a car large enough to hold us all and went out. It was a great time!

I drove a huge Dodge Durango packed full of people. That is probably the nicest thing I've ever driven in my life. My arthritis is flaring up, but the heated seat and steering wheel helped it to be a far less uncomfortable trip. Since it was a huge SUV the screen that comes on when you back up helped tremendously. It was amazing.

But anyway. Shaun is the one who planned all of this and also the one who navigated us there because the car's GPS lied to me. 😂 We both picked out and wrapped her gifts and also picked out and decorated her cake together. Check out those candle flames. It's not just the lighting - they burn in colors! Science is awesome!

Y'all stay tuned because I have some pretty great video to upload. 😉

Cat Update:

No one else has spontaneously died so that's nice.

My Gramson Leon was neutered this morning and is doing fine. We get to bring him home tomorrow.

Midna seems to feel better than when we dropped her off at the vet, but she is rail thin. I can feel all of her bones. 🙁 Thankfully, she is eating and her poop does look better than when we dropped her off. I'm still worried about her, but I'm thankful for the progress and she is not scaring me every minute like Bun was. Hopefully my old lady will be ok.

Midna is home.

Midna is home. She still has diarrhea and is on meds, but the vet said that she's improved from what she was last week.
