Wednesday Chit Chat / myLot

Happy Wednesday Everyone! another iffy day when it comes to the weather. Hot and humid with the sun peeking in and out and likely that thunderstorms will pop up at some point. I'm later than usual popping in here today. The dog groomer was scheduled to come a 10am but of course didn't show up until 10:30am. Always an excuse and every time this happens I think about changing groomers. But, since the pup is an old lady now (15 yrs) and is used to her I don't know if its worth changing or just dealing with the fact that she's never on time. What irkes me more is that I'm ready for the scheduled time. The one time I'm not ready would be the day she shows up on time. So, now my day is off kilter and some of the things I had planned to do will be done later and a few other things will wait until tomorrow. Anyway, enough complaining about the groomer. I'm sure you're sick of hearing me complain every month when she comes

I did spend some time browsing on Amazon to see if I found any more good Prime deals to add to the few things I put in my cart yesterday.

Now it's time for me to get some stuff done that needs doing and I'll be back later to chat.

Happy Wednesday to you Marilyn Because of the age of the dog it might be better to put up with the tardiness of the groomer. I need to go look at Amazon as well Didn't find anything so far Catch you later Hope that you have a great day

Hope your day is going well

Yes, its probably best to stick with the groomer at this point since the dog is old. Amazon only had a few things that I would consider a bargain so it's doubtful I'll be buying much

And of course the first time that you give yourself a bit of time before you expect her, will be the time that she actually arrives on time. I think that happened once last winter. Today is a me day here, I have to leave in a bit for a doctor's appointment, but otherwise, I have been queen for the day calling my own shots, which is a delightful change of pace.

Hope your doctor appointment went well. Guess i have to stop whining about the groomer. She isn't going to change and I have to accept her tardiness if I'm not going to look for someone else. She does do a good job and the dog is used to her since she's been coming for years now.

@Marilynda1225 We have a friend visiting her family in the Philippines for the summer, and she just called us and told us that her husband, who stayed back as he has to work, took their dog to the groomer, and the groomer told him that she would no longer be able to do their dog. She did not know if it was their dog or if the groomer is getting ready to close their business.

Simply tell the dog groomer that you'll need to get a refund of some type every time she's late as she's making you late for other appointments... She'll either start showing up on time or she'll quit. Either one is an improvement. I hope you have a lovely day, otherwise.

We're going to visit an old friend later. The visit has been on the cards for ages but when I rang to arrange it, the husband told me his wife passed away in March so that's very sad.
