Every day this week ended up feeling like a Sat. or in most cases a Sunday. Now ask me exactly how a Sat. or Sun feels. I’m pretty sure you understand how any day can “feel” like a certain day of the week with no explanation or conscious definition, right? That’s good now you can explain it to me. . .
A little humidity and 110 + degrees and hot gets uncomfortable. A thermometer sitting against the courtyard fireplace showed 114 – I’m sure the masonry of the fireplace bumped that up a few but it was warm and, for here, humid. Frankly the weather made it easier to get the bar cleaned up. Not a full spit shine clean but a “that feels better to me” clean. Later I had a visit with my old bus stop buddy. It had been quite a while since we visited. I was a little shocked that it lasted most of the afternoon and further shocked to see that his legs are even worse than the last time. Sad- and helping him get around is tough for all involved. - How’s that for a sad note.
Let me check my “ready for the weekend to do list.” House interior is presentable, Back Patio & courtyard, hum-maybe not party ready but OK, grass is cut and trimmed and one vehicle is running. I guess I’m going to have to break down and buy a battery for the Ford. I’m still not totally ready to say the coolant disappearing is taken care of but it is down to almost none. The battery hasn’t been above 50% for over a year. I may have been just seeing how long I could make it last - stupid me but remember I’m the easily entertained one. Besides I figure I got an extra year out of that battery with not TOO much inconvenience. It really didn’t bother me as long as the Scout was good to go as it has been for a while now. There may be just a tad bit of rationalizing involved in that mess I just typed- MAY – I’m not admitting it, just accepting the slight possibility.
I can’t seem to shake the sense that everything here is wearing-out.
I had to buy a new garden hose this week. What’s with that? The last one lasted over 10 years and Sherry bought it at a garage sale for me. It was a much better hose that any I’d owned but it IS a lot shorter than it was all those years ago with a couple repairs needed again.
My CD/DVD player in the bar is worse than worn out it’ll play a little and just stop-
phones- Oh the – issues – notifications on my cell showing a call but no date provided for that call with the last one being months ago from that number so I assumed well we all know about that but Gurr.
Have I maxed out your quota of rants & gripes yet? Most likely because I’m even tired of all the whining & complaining. Gee I thought I’d feel all better after making what I thought were coherent statements of it all – Well that didn’t work either - - - -
Just kidding actually I do feel better and I’m even smiling about how trivial all that is- Thanks for listening –
