The Handyman did not get it perfect. He should have left a bit more trim or whatever on the bottom of the door. Its closer is overly tight and when it banged the door shut if not held to slow it down it was coming past the frame and then hanging up a bit to open it. I will have to screw a bit of something on the bottom of the door I think but my quickie redneck solution was to put a paper clip over the frame to have a bit more of something to block the door and, then put a dab of crazy glue to hold it in place when it worked; that is still holding and I haven't motivated myself to do a better fix yet.
The guy did show up and dig a grave, would not let me even give him some gas money. Paul came over later after the vet put Lady down and laid her to rest and filled in the hole with the tractor. I should text their friends and ask what would be a good thank-you gift. I wish folks would just accept some cash for favors like that; trying to come up with a gift is a PITA and sometimes I just don't get it done.
P and S invited me and housemate for T-day. I haven't said yay or nay yet. I was thinking I might see if anyone wanted to go riding but there is a stinking EHV-1 outbreak. The friends that board are being told not to take horses off property. I canceled riding with one to ride Taj because she had recommended riding at the close by fairgrounds, and their arena is closed, have to park at sales barn, which I was not quite comfortable with any equine disease warning. I would feel ok going to a trailhead, but am not too excited to go alone.
So I should text S and ask "what can I bring, whipped cream? fruit salad?, ginger ale or seven up for fruit punch?" P relayed that "you don't have to bring anything" S and P's mom are great cooks, so most anything I would bring would not be as good as what they'll cook, last year I brought fruit salad and it was not great. I should have gone to a regular grocery earlier, wallys was mostly out of the canned fruits I use when I went just 1 or 2 days before t-day and I had to use some old cans I had around to fill in the recipe and the wally's grapes were not not great either. I don't want to not bring anything, I'll just stay home and chill or pout if I can't get a suggestion of something I can bring that they won't hesitate to eat. Housemate has been working long hours at ToysRUs and I haven't asked her if she plans to spend T-day or another day that week with her daughter in CoSp, the store she got the job at is opening today and has not had a clear schedule for them, has needed way more man-hours to get the inventory unpacked from the pallets and displayed then the boss had anticipated when she was hired. The extra hours is good for housemate, stupid Animal Sanctuary that hired her in Aug, supposedly permanently let her go with no warning in October. I have zero sympathy for the A.S. getting less donations this year, they were living high on the hog when the Ds were shoveling federal money at any non profit that pushed any of the commie narratives, and bought up land rather than building up a reserve fund to make sure they could make ends meet if they had a couple of lean years.
