Please get the woman's name and home location. Neighbors need to be aware....

For all practical purposes I haven't been in stores since the start of the pandemic,

except for groceries and drug stores. My daughter took me to a shoe store once.

So I've been ordering items from HSN and it's partner QVS (do I have those initials right?)
I've found by trial and error that the shoes and clothing don't work for me, for size or fit reasons, so I get things that sound practical, like motion-activated lights, vitamins or hand creams, and I've even bought food items.
I usually try to get items on special sale and without shipping and handling charges.

Otherwise, I'm looking to pass on items that aren't useful to me, especially family memorabilia, to younger generations.

Perhaps some type of stroke?....

Am glad to know that you will bank what you would pay for mortgage and insurance.

Trusting that you have the self-discipline at 70 to do just that.
On or the other of you will last well past 80, and expenses do arise that you haven't counted on -no news to anyone there.

Change: 237.67

Please pray for the besieged residents of Mariupol today.

I still have the same phone number from when I married in 1961.

I guess it's gone through several ideations since then, but basically the same number.
Spouse has died, I've moved about four times, but phone number is still the same.

Only changed zip code once, but came back to the original one fairly quickly.

Is "judge-shopping" involved here?

Looking for the judge most inclined to give a decision favorable to the plaintiffs?

I was one of those who made the extra effort to get to Mass today, and so grateful I could.

Between the pandemic and my own aging and deteriorating health, Mass attendance just often doesn't work for me anymore, though I have willingly attended weekly throughout my 80+ years. It is a choice I have made to live as a faithful Catholic.
If I had not able to attend today, due to insomnia, which makes it unsafe for me to drive, or due to poor weather, which I tolerate less and less with age, I would have felt a subtle disappointment, similar to so much of what I now experience daily as life experiences contract little by little for me.

But I had a good enough night's sleep to get up and pull myself together sufficiently to drive to a nearby parish that has a noon Mass, and to be with people unknown to me personally but with whom I share a faith and a lifetime experience of worship. The priest did not see or notice me, and I only saw a few persons I recognize out of the perhaps 200-300 there. I did notice that people were not dressed in celebratory clothes as was usual when I and my children were growing up. Everyday dress was the norm.

So now I feel a subtle exuberance as I wait for my adult children to come to prepare and serve the Easter meal we have ordered, our familiar nod to our traditions and memories of the happy days we enjoyed together on holidays when our family was whole and in one place.
It's alright that others do not celebrate our holiday. Each family is unique and makes its own traditions one way or another.
I did not go to be seen by a priest; Jesus knows my intents, whether I'm at Mass or not, as well as the reasons.

Let's sell the Pieta, The Sistine Chapel can be disassembled and sold to Elon Musk,

who can use it a la Hearst Castle.
Sotheby's would love to auction the Vatican Library - books, oil paintings, statuary.
And that's just for starters....

I believe the Pope has already taken a vow of poverty, as do all Jesuits.

Regular strength Tylenol gel-capsules get me back to sleep when waking up

after 2-3 hrs sleep.
I believe the gel-caps dissolve easily and quickly and go down easily as well with just a small amount of water.
My discomfort may not be as aggravated as yours..
Good luck.
