Bummer



The weather the last 2 days was lovely. I love spring here. Feb- April

My used Prius, I bought for 30k is now worth 16 to a third party and 13 or so as a trade in.
I thought to get an older, cheaper something. I've had it about 5 yrs. It was a lease for 2 yrs. first. I should have asked for the car fax. The mileage is near 50 and I tend to fill up w gas at $4.15 for about 20. which lasts me generally 2 or more weeks depending on where I go. I tend to stay in the neighborhood.
Today was my last day to tutor my 2nd grader in Reading. Next week their is a volunteer appreciation luncheon.
That morning I am going to a Tea and yoga class in Los Altos in a fancy Dr. retirement place w monthly rent in the neighborhood of 4000k a month. It is a place that has meals, activities and I am just interested. I don't need assisted living, although I would like to live in that section of town. I am looking to downsize from a 3 b.r. house to 2 bedroom condo. A patio would be fine. I was looking at Port Townsand and Seattle, Oregon and upper CA.
I'm tired of the yard work. I usually only have one major cleanup, Monthly there is a little bit. This year I pruned the fruit trees extensively especially the lemon with a bit more to do. and look out the from curb bushes. I was tired of trimming them. The needed a haircut on the sidewalk and curb sides too often. The bushes I have are spider houses too. That goes w the 14 or so 49-50 ft. tall Italian cypress in the back too. My neighbor was leary of them and wanted to cut them, I tried cutting them from the bottom up to 10 ft or so. Boy was that a lot. I rented a chain saw, had 2 workers and filled the street with tree cuttings. Also, an error.

My gas bill this mo. was 15.54 and the elec. 12.32.
I have no cell.

I got an offer to sub 5th gr, Fri., but I have an annual Dr's apt.

My dear friend Kim had some major surgery and is recovering.
