Had another day of doing very little.  This heat and humidity are driving me bats.  It’s not super hot, but the humidity is over 70 per cent which I don’t handle very well.

There’s absolutely no point in driving myself bats attempting to do things that I don’t have the ambition to do.  I learned that lesson a while back.

Hymn suggestions are always welcome, as are any topics you would like to discuss, or any post of Lee’s that you would like to see.

Aside from the weather, all is well.

That’s it for now.

Have a good night, all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

Today I took it really easy and did not post as much as usual.

Part of that was because I had to take time to reconcile an issue.

Ordered from Whole Foods (who are  very good with their deliveries).  Today, however, there was a problem.

It is extremely hot here today and extremely humid.  I looked out of my window earlier and there were my three grocery bags sitting out on the sidewalk in the 90 plus degree heat with the sun beating down on them.  When I brought them in, they were actually hot .  On my delivery instructions, I specify that the bags be brought into the foyer.  I got really upset, because the food was much too hot, the frozen stuff was hot–in general a real mess.  Whole Foods did straighten it out, though and replaced my order.  It was a bit of a distraction, however.

I was worried that this would be a difficult day.  It is our 49th wedding anniversary today.  It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be.  I thought of our wedding day at the little wedding chapel in Elkton, Maryland and the memories were so good.   After we were married, we went fishing on Chesapeake Bay.  One of the very best days of my life.  For the first few years after our marriage we would go back and visit Elkton every year.  One year we went to the Aberdeen proving ground.  There’s a picture around here somewhere of me sitting on a really big tank.  Great times.

I will close for now, watch some ER and make my supper.

Have a good night all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

That says it all.  If the heat and humidity keep up, I’ll get the reputation of being a recluse.  It was hot and the humidity was 66%.

I did a lot of net surfing today–still wondering why the FDA approved an mRNA flu shot.  As it showed in the video, the old shot (for those who wanted it) had a better performance record.  I don’t get it.  I thought RFK was going after the gene-altering stuff.  It reminds me of when Lee and I were big baseball fans.  The Yankees (our team) would acquire a hot-shot player and before long we would say “he got fat and stopped hitting”.  I hope that’s not the case with RFK.  I guess heat and humidity make me pessimistic.

Now it looks like we may be heading for a thunderstorm.

I can’t believe it’s just the beginning of August and I’m looking forward to the first frost.

There’s just no pleasing some people.

Have a good night, all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

It’s gonna be fast because the sky looks like it’s about to open up.  We are slated for thunderstorms this afternoon and evening, and they look imminent, and as you all know, they freak me out.  The humidity is so high you could cut the air with a knife.  Can’t complain because we haven’t had much of that this summer.  In fact, a lot less of it than usual.

I told you about the news I heard in the few minutes I was out in my car today.  I won’t even go into New York city’s disasters.  I intend to find something to watch that will raise my spirits tonight.

I’m also pretty sure you all  heard about Perez Hilton’s on line meltdown.  He was live on TikTok and began to harm himself.  They took him to the hospital.

Is it me or is the whole world going nuts right now?

Let’s all hope and pray that tomorrow will be better.

Have a good night, all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

Today was the oddest weather day in my memory.

When I got up–very early in the morning–it was raining pretty heavily with the occasional rumble of thunder.  It really couldn’t have been called a thunderstorm, and it passed.  It cleared up, the sun came out and that seemed to be that.  But no, within another hour and a half or so, it got dark again and we had a really bad downpour for at least half an hour.  I was very glad that they had done that roof repair a while ago.  Then it stopped, the sun came out and it was fine (but very, very, humid).  Then it got pitch black  yet again and we had another downpour.   This happened a total of three times.  Right now the sun is out, but I don’t   know for how long.  The humidity, by the way, is horrendous.  It feels like the tropics.  I don’t recall this happening so many times in one day before.

Like they say–if you can live in New Jersey, you can live anywhere.

Have a good night, all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

I still can’t figure out what happened to the first Oy Rodney post I tried to do this morning.  It is somewhere in cyberspace.  That was a first. It may turn up .  Unless I typoed a date 50 years in the future or some other bizarre thing.  It’s amazing how flustered you can get with computer stuff.

My neighbor changed my water today.  He is such a good guy.  I have a few really helpful neighbors, and that’s a very good thing.

Was busy enough to get that I’m- running- behind feeling, but that’s OK, too.

That’s about the size of things for today.

Have a good night, all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

Today was a very good day.

Yesterday I had read quite a bit about some really bad management decisions that caused some very successful businesses to fold.  Now tell me if I’m wrong about this one.  Walgreens always had these  miniature shopping carts–a regular cart, but about 1/3 the size of a real one.  I loved them because they were just right.  I could stick my cane (when I use it) in the body of the cart, lean on the cart itself and have ,  enough room for the few things I usually buy.  Today they were gone–like they never existed.  Instead they have replaced them with really big over-the-arm baskets–more than  twice the size of the ones in a supermarket.  Who benefits from that?  I could not use them at all, so I had to just walk without anything to lean on.  When I went to the Pharmacy department, I ended up juggling my keys, and the huge plastic bag (sealed by them) with my RX in it and the cane.  It was irksome.  I am assuming a certain percentage of the customers of Walgreens  (being as it is a drug store) might have a mobility problem, or a strength problem.  No way could a small person with issues manage one of those huge baskets.  I’m thinking–what did all those great big baskets cost?  Why totally eliminate the mini-carts which were so handy?  It would seem that nobody in management thinks beyond the tip of their noses.  I hope Walgreens isn’t the next business to fail.  Heaven knows where I would have to go to get my prescription then.

Aside from that, it was a good day today.

Have a good night, all.

See you tomorrow

God bless everybody.

Today’s pearl of wisdom is–you can’t do two things at once.  I know the fashion today is for multitasking, but that’s erroneous.  If you attempt to do two things at once, both will suffer.  At least that’s the way it works for me.

Today was  OK, but not super great.

Still working on pacing myself–the adjustment to my new situation    interferes with scheduling stuff, timing stuff and vainly attempting to finish the stuff I start.  That’s the hard part.

Tomorrow I hit the drugstore for my prescription, and maybe a quick pop into Whole Foods.  I discovered Amy’s frozen ravioli last night and they are really delicious.

With that, I will close.

Have a good night, all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

Here’s how it went today…

Really crappy weather

Had a hard time finding good content for the blog

Barked my right shin really badly (won’t tell you how I did it, but it’s got a bunch of band-aids on it and they are sticking to my sweatpants, making the one leg ride up)

Got rained on as I took the garbage out

Forgot to cut my meat for supper (  had wanted to do it ahead of time)

Had a plague of flies that seemed to come out of nowhere–big ones, too–

My phone died for about an hour and a half  (it’s a landline, that’s not supposed to happen)

Caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror (something I rarely do) and I looked like I live under my car

All that being said, I am going to pour myself a glass of wine, go back to watching ER, have my supper and sleep until tomorrow morning

Hope you guys had a better day than I did.  I’m sure tomorrow will be better.

Have a good night all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

PS  I almost got scammed today by a fake medical bill, but it did not go through.  My Avira ant-virus warned me about the site.  Called my bank and they said it did not process.  Whew!
