On Saturday, May 21st, the A/C in Sean's car quit working. He brought the car to our house to get Charlie to help fix it. Charlie pulled a fuse, which basically caused the car to quit working. (It was so much easier to fix cars when they weren't computerized.) Since the car wasn't driveable, Sean and Ashley rode with me to church that Sunday. (My mom brought them home.)
I drove them to work on Monday (they both work at the church), but Sean didn't stay. He came to my house with me so he could call a tow truck and have his car taken to the dealership. He rode in the tow truck to the dealership and when Honda was unable to give him a loaner (they were out of loaners), I picked him up and drove him to Enterprise to rent a car. (His insurance covered the cost.) Sean dropped off the rental car at Enterprise on Tuesday morning and I drove him to the dealership to get his car. A new compressor arrived that week, but it's making noise. I'm not sure if that's been fixed yet.

Loki had a vet appointment for Friday, June 3rd to get a booster shot, but Kelly and I couldn't get him in the carrier no matter how hard we tried. I called the vet and they rescheduled his appointment for Tuesday, June 6th. I went that Monday to get some pills that would help calm him and went to Petsmart to get pill pockets for cats. But he wasn't interested in the pill pockets. So then we tried cheese and he wasn't interested in that either. Then Kelly held him while I tried to get the pill down his throat, but he spit it out. So then I opened up one of the capsules and poured the medicine onto his food and he wouldn't eat that.
We tried getting him into the carrier anyway and we couldn't. So I had to cancel his appointment. I told them that they'd probably never see Loki again. lol

Thursday, June 16th and yesterday we had thunderstorms with hail. (Temperatures have been in the mid to upper 90s for several days now, but today is supposed to be about 83°.) The one we had yesterday was crazy! It hailed for several minutes. And it was a lot of hail coming down at once. We were kind of shocked. The wind was also really crazy and we wondered if there was a tornado nearby (I haven't heard that there was) or straight line winds. We have a few small branches in our yard (including a branch from our redbud tree that ended up several feet away from the tree) and a bunch of leaves. And the top part of a forsythia that Charlie planted a couple weeks ago lost some of its leaves.
That's the third hail storm in a month.

Purchases since my last entry:
Purchased from someone on Poshmark. Brand: A New Day. $5 before shipping and tax, less than $16 after. (Not my photo.)
Purchased from Macy's. Brand: Jessica Howard. Almost $80 after tax. Shipping was free. I haven't spent that much on a dress in awhile. (Photo from Macy's website.)
Purchased from someone on Poshmark. Brand: Lauren Ralph Lauren. Less than $34 after shipping and tax. (Not my photo.)
Purchased from someone on eBay. Brand: Naturalizer. A little over $25 after shipping and tax. I used to have a beautiful, sparkly pair of silver heels that I had to throw out a few years ago. I finally got some new silver heels. (Not my photo.)
Navy lace top purchased from ThredUp. Brand: Vince Camuto. Less than $24 after shipping and tax. (Not my photo.) I bought it to go with the green and navy/dark blue leopard print skirt I bought in April. I wore it with a navy shrug and patent nude heels. I thought it looked beautiful.
Purchased from someone on Poshmark. Brand: Talbots. Almost $51 after shipping and tax. Which I thought was a good price for a Talbots dress. But the person I bought it from sent a ten dollar bill with the dress because they were expecting someone to make an offer and possibly low ball them. (She said it's happened to them quite a bit.) They didn't think anyone would actually buy it at list price. (Which was $40.) The lady who sent it said that with gas and groceries being so expensive, she didn't feel right not giving me some of the money back. I was really surprised. What a nice thing to do. (Not my photo. Photo is from the listing.)
