Daphne Shakes! 🐾

I have finally taught an animal a trick! 🙌🎉

I have never had a dog that could do tricks. Never! All of dogs knew their name and came running when they heard food going into their bowl. 🙄 I have been working with her on shaking for a couple months. I can tell she thinks I’m probably stupid for it but oh well. 😂 I’m super excited to say and show that my Daphne did it! She finally shakes hands! 🙌🏼 Proud dog mom moment. 🐶

Why is it so hard to get a kid a permit in NC????

As we sit on the ground outside (it's only 89°😑) the DMV you definitely have to wonder how a government office is still operating like this. All of the other government offices are allowing people inside but not the DMV. We have an appointment but the sign says not to knock that they'll get us when they are ready for us…. So we sit on our asses and wait. Watching as people who showed up after us talk to someone working here before us.

Btw the girl who spoke to someone before us has no appointment and apparently they are talking walkins now. 😑 They are taking walk-ins on "as they can" basis. Not exactly the words of the examiner but the girl was helped while a man was turned away.

This is the second time trying to get his permit since May 30. His NC Eligibility Certificate is expired. Those things are only good for 30 days but it takes 6 weeks to get an appointment. Hopefully the walk-in thing is for real but this is beyond frustrating.

Can we please get back to pre-Covid?!?

Paqui One Chip Challenge - I Did It!!! ��

Have you seen "Help Get Scott a New Headstone"?

Hello

I thought you might be interested in supporting this GoFundMe, https://www.gofundme.com/f/scott-a-new-headstone?utm_source=customer&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheet.

Scott's headstone was stolen in the middle of last night. His mother saved for two years for his headstone. It was a mother's final gift. Now it's gone.

Even a small donation could help Jennifer Hunter reach their fundraising goal. And if you can't make a donation, it would be great if you could share the fundraiser to help spread the word.

Thanks for taking a look!

Sincerely
Katie ❤️

Covid Unemployment Benefits

Did I lose my job during this? No.

Have I whined about other people’s income? Also, no.

I’m kind over seeing this entitled meme or ones similar to it. Not everyone who benefited from the extra unemployment benefit was making minimum wage. A LOT of minimum wage jobs were nearly unaffected by Covid. 🙄

I personally know plenty of people who made more than $900/week that were furloughed and this extra unemployment benefit was helpful but they still had to adjust their budget.

The normal max unemployment benefits doesn’t do shit for a lot of the furloughed workers. But all some want to focus on are those who made made less than $15/hour. Sadly some of y’all bitching about others pockets are “Christians” or generally “good people.”

Everything going on in the world and all you’re mad about you’re jobless neighbor getting some help while their hoping for the job they busted their ass for and helped them once attain “the American dream” comes to back for them. 🤦🏼‍♀️
