Beginning Of A Short Week

Happy Monday! It’s a short week for me.

It was a good weekend. Beachwalk and houseplant work. Took the dogs to the beach too.

Saturday was my cousins funeral, which I wish I didn’t miss.

veterans memorial

I hope you have a good week.

Screw The List.

Yesterday I made myself a To-Do list. Then I took the dogs to the beach. Then they got baths.

Today, im taking ME to the beach. I think the To-Do list will still be here when I get back

happy Friday!

Lisa All Clear

We’ve been given the all clear from Tropical Storm Lisa. She’s expected to curve way south now.

I hope hurricane season is over now.

I went to bed early last night, told myself not to worry when I woke up super early. I woke up earlier than usual, but it was ok.

I dreamed about painting the inside of my house. (I’m still waiting for the money to catch up so I can do the outside). Then I started thinking about proactive spending versus reactive spending. Weirdness in the dream world.

have a great day!

All’s Well That Ends Well

The weekend ended up pretty good. I had a terrible sleep Friday night and Saturday night, but made up for it last night. Slept good.

Got the yard mowed and laundry done. It’s nice and cool, good for sleeping with the doors and windows open. Got the car fixed, not sure I mentioned it last week.

We might have a storm coming

We”re under a warning, but the storm is looking like it’s going to go much further south than it was showing last night.

Im working 3 day weeks until next year. Use it or lose it vacation.

So have a good week!

RIP Ashy

“End Stage Kidney Failure* that’s what the vet said when she told me about the results of Ashy’s blood tests. I could hospitalize her, take her home and let her misery increase to intolerance, or she could go to sleep now. Sheba went through option A, Ditto, option B, So I chose option C for Ashy.

Unsure, i asked the vet what if this is want she would do, and she said yes.

I called the ex wife, who came and said goodbye. Then she left and we did it

I buried Ashy under the Ceiba tree in the front yard. It’s a shady, cool dry spot. Better than anywhere in the back yard. And the lattice you see is screwed into the tree roots to keep chickens and anything else from digging there. Although she’s quite deep.

In her box, she looks like she’s taking a nap, on her bed, curled up nice and cozy with a blanket over her. She looked asleep.

I am so sad. She was the greatest cat ever. I miss her.

in other news, the van started leaking power steering fluid really badly, and is in the shop. Scooter today, rain or shine.

Happy Friday to you, have a good weekend.

Still Going – 444

444 days straight on Duolingo. The problem is still the same. Habla mas despacio por favor! I guess I continue to improve though.

Another seemingly good nights sleep last night

Ashy is going back to the vet today. Her sense of balance seems off, or maybe pain.

Have a good day!

Bird On The Roof

this morning, when I went upstairs for my exercise, I found a pigeon-like bird on my roof. She didn’t fly away and I assumed she was injured. We walked around each other while I got her some water and did my exercises. After I was done, I picked up my exercise mat and she flew away with great flurry. I guess she wasn’t injured after all. I’ve had experiences where birds try to occupy my roof and try to aggressively keep me off the roof. That doesn’t work out so well for them. I hope this girl wasn’t looking for a place to build a nest. I cleaned up the poop and took the water away.

Had a relatively painless night last night. Slept pretty good and had ok thoughts while awake. I’ve heard it said it’s darkest before the dawn, but I find it hard to believe this b******* is me getting better.

Have a happy hump day!

a little ahead

It’s just past 6:30, seems I’m a little ahead of schedule this morning.

Last night was a rough night for me. Mentally, I was NOT sleeping, thinking along the lines of “what do I want? If I could have whatever I wanted, what would it be?”

i was drawing a blank. All I could come up with was wishing my wife never had left and that she could be happy. And that can never be anymore.

It was torturous, laying there, trying not to think. And it’s thinking about me, so it’s sickening self pity and self centered egotism. Disgusting on every facet

But I’m awake now and things are looking much better. Like every morning.

Have a great day!
