New Week

[susandennis]

Some of the entries on my DW reading page use GIANT fonts and some use teeny tiny ones and it makes me crazy. LiveJournal had a default style fixed all this. If Dreamwidth has the same, I cannot find it and I wish I could.

Yesterday I was sleepy all day until finally, as much as I hate naps, I took one for an hour. Last night I still could not keep my eyes open. I fell asleep early and hard. This morning, Biggie wanted me up and I got up and peed and drank some water and went back to sleep for an hour. Now, I feel rested and refreshed.

Today's plans include a trip to Goodwill. I broke one of the cat food dishes last night. They were so perfect. I'll start the hunt now, for when I break the rest.

I am way over budget this month and need to stop spending money (she says, after just mentioning an impending shopping trip. sigh). I always have big expenses at the end of the year and this year I have more than usual.

• Condo assessment - $12k
• second half of the A/C payment $10k
• repair after A/c install $1k
• HOA dues for 2023 $8k

My rainyday savings is going to be depleted entirely by the end of December if I don't tighten my belt. I need to talk myself out of buying the Pixel 7Pro phone. The Pixel Watch should be enough.

This weekend, I collected stuff to take to Goodwill. I had two bags full and put them by the front door. Yesterday, I noticed the cats had turned one on its side and rummaged. I went to investigate and saw where they had found and rescued the old cat tunnel! hahaha. It was tied up so it resembled a tire but they weren't fooled, I guess.

So ok. If they want to keep it, I guess I'll let them. I put the yellow donut one away and moved the ugly Goodwill one to the living room where Julio happily played with it all day yesterday.

Seems like they were ok with my taking the sheets and towels and other stuff in the bag. Just not their stuff.

I had no wifi fails yesterday. I think I'll just unplug and replug the router every night on my way into bed. Manually. ha!

Now I think I'll go get dressed and head to Goodwill before it gets hot.

I have this issue with only one journal, and the owner doesn't post all that often, so it's not a big deal. I have my account settings to show my Friends/Reading page entries in my own journal's style, and as I said, it seems to work for all of them, except this one particular poster -- it's still my style for the most part (colours, font, etc.), but the font will appear really huge (but not always, oddly).

[susandennis]

yeah, i had it set for 'in my own style' but still i get huge and teeny weeny. i think it's people pasting from word or some other non-web editor. but, it's my problem, not theirs. I'm still testing...

I do the 'my style' thing and haven't noticed a lot of discrepancies, but then again I'm not very observant. The tiny font would annoy me way more than huge.

And dagnabit, your two cats are so adorable. That last photo of Julio, just lounging away with one elbow propped up - too cute!

[mollywheezy]

LOL at the cats rescuing their tunnel. :D

[wpadmirer]

That's funny. It's like me trying to get Pat to get rid of something. I swear, the man still has clothes from college, if not high school!

[fbhjr]

Hopefully my fonts are OK. Let me know if they aren’t…

[susandennis]

Aren't you kind to ask?! Your fonts are fine! When I first moved to Dreamwidth, your entries had me going because I couldn't figure out how to open up cut content without opening a new window. But, once I got that figured out, JBHJR was, once again, golden in my book!

[kaishin108]

I guess you have to ask their permission before you bag up any of their things to give away, how funny!! That Julio is darling!

[adafrog]

lol 'That's mine!!'

I swear by naps. Max parks himself on my chest and away we go into dreamland.

If your HOA dues for 2023 are $8k I don't feel so bad. I thought $540 a month here was high.

[susandennis]

Around here we're about average if you look at it per square foot. We don't have any fancy amenities.

[ranawinter]

Dreamwidth does do it, but i can't remember how!

I use big fonts bc my eye sight is *dolphin noises* :)
