Went out to dinner last night and left my teenagers home alone. Did they party? Make a mess? No, they rescued a hurt pigeon they found when they were walking the dog. It flew off this morning, before I had to drive 45 minutes to a bird rescue.

Source request for a @marketwatch.com story looking for families who are up against a May 1 decision day for college and re-evaluating what they can afford because of the way the economy is going. That also goes for anyone considering transfering schools because of price. Sleepy dog for attention.

To all my friends out there on Social Security. If your check does not come when it is supposed to at some point, can you call me? Also reach out if you have other issues — trouble making an appointment, your closest office shut down, you can’t get anyone on the phone to help you, etc. Thanks!

Ok all you helpful people, when does the sense of smell and taste come back? While y’all have been busy retrospecting after 5 years of covid, I have it now, and I don’t like it.

Got a new certification! I’m now an Elder Planning Specialist, thanks to an FPA course for CFPs. If you’re interested in this, it’s a 12-week course for CE credit and culminates with a project. Very worthwhile.
