Curfew Quarantine

Last night a curfew started, 9PM-5AM, public busses shut down. At my work, we’re in split shift, so the four of us have less contact with each other. I’m on mornings. We’re practically the only ones in our building anyway, except the Air Traffic Controllers way above us in the tower. There’s no comercial flights, so even ATC is light staffed, I think.

I’ll be glad when this is over, but I don’t think things will ever go back to “normal”.

The Mystery Of The Missing Sand

Probobly a week ago, I noticed the above hole inour left-over pile of sand. I figured somebody came through the gate and “borrowed” a bucketful. One one hand, I didn’t care, because it was a bucket of sand, but on the other hand, it irked me that someone would come take a bucket of sand without even asking.

I showed the wife, and she seemed quite surprised as well.

Yesterday, this poser was solved. The Wife was outside painting some shelves and here comes Crazy Daisy Dukes, right over to the hole, and began preparations to enlarge it. The Wife prevented this from happening. They say the criminal always return to the scene of the crime.. This time, doing so got her busted!

Mystery Solved!

Below is a picture of Daisy laying under our banana plants, which concerns me bacause I don’t want her knocking any baby plants over…

Have a good, safe week! Wash your hands!

More Contractor Problems.

Well, we passed the electrical inspection, finally, after more than three months. It finally got done when I started leaning on the electrician who apparently was unable to contact the guy who re-did the drawings. So I started leaning on him, I paid him in full. He said he submitted the drawings, but hasn’t heard back from planning. So I called planning to no avail. Ended up sending an email to the Director and everyone pertinent before I got a response. Turns out the drawer guy never paid the fee, (which I had given him to pay when he submitted the drawings). Soo I went to planning, paid the fee. Got a refund from the drawings guy.

A week later, the drawings guy calls me and says he got the drawings approved, but they were the old drawings approved again, not his new drawings. Then he stops talking, like end of story. Finally, I said “Welll? What are you going to do about it? Are you going to contact them?”

Anyway we got the drawing approved, Got the plumbing approved, and I’m waiting for the certificate of occupancy.

The problem now, is the massive cleanup that I’m prettu sure the contractor is going to try to wriggle out of. She obviously can’t read a contract. Cause I’m soo tired of this crap I’m ready to call a lawyer. Cleanup WILL be done!

Drawin’ A Blank

I”m drawing a blank this morning, post wise. It was raining this morning for our dog walk but all the weather apps say clear. It’s looking 100% cloudy right now.

The Wife starts working from home today. She took my laptop to work and had software installed and remote access to their network set up. I’m afraid that it’ll never be my laptop again. I don’t use it much anyway. But it hurts a little.

The building has trickle-started. The plumber came and installed the shower stall. It doesn’t fit properly, although it’s a 34 inch stall, it’s a 34 inch circle, from corner to wall, it’s about 32 inches, and doesn’t reach the end of the window.. It’ll be ok, once I install this custom piece of aluminum I had made.

I got the feeling the contractor boss lady is going to start playing games…. Quit working till I throw more money at the project. Not going to happen. I know all the tricks from when I had this house built. I’m ready for combat.

So, I guess I’m not in too great of a space this morning.

But YOU have a great day!

The Other TP

My friend and I were texting on WhatsApp and we stumbled across the topic of people buying up all the TP in stores. While the conversation was going on, I switched over to Chrome, did an image search, and make the two memes below and sent them to her.

I think they’re hilarious, but then, I’m easily amused.

Should be an interesting week at work, seems like the planet is shutting down.

Stay safe!

On Corona Virus, By Me

Overall, I think the world is majorly over reacting. My wife went to the store yesteray and there was no toilet paper. I thought people buying all the toilet paper was a joke on Facebook. Also gone was bleach and sanitization products.

The picture below is a few weeks old, But it illustrates that lots of everyday things are worse. China is now saying the peak has passed.

I personally wouldn’t mind a couple weeks quarintined in my house. It would be like a much needed vacation. I know one person (in Miami) who said he had it and got over it. He said it was like a cold.

That being said, it’s good so many people are more conscious about washing their hands, but any people wonder wonder how long 20 seconds is. Well, I’ve found the following method to be perfect. You already know the words in the video below, if you recite them (in a very loud voice) while washing your hands, it’ll be about perfectly timed. If you want to be extra safe, you can hum the tune (loudly) afterwards.

Have a good Friday the 13thm and a good weekend!

Two More Teefs

Yesterday I went to the dentist and he added two teeth to my head,One crown and a second implant. I now have a full set. My quest for dental health is complete. I’m just a regular guy, no cavities, getting regular checkups every six months

For the record, that is not me in the picture above, it was found on the internet.

Almost Friday! Havva goodun!

Crabby Cry Baby

I feel grumpy this morning. My alarm went off with a weird screen and I had a hard time turning it off. The first words out of my mouth this morning were “What the fuck?” (looking at that beeping abnormal screen) and that’s not how I like to start my day.

I don’t wanna go to work.

We’re having company tonight, I’ve gotta picke them up and take them back to their hotel. That means I can’t ride my scooter and won’t make it to bed till way after bedtime.

Having a hard time getting the builder restarted. I finally got the electrical drawings approved, now gotta start workin’ on the plumber.

I’m just not really looking forward to today. Doesn’t look like it’s going to be my kind of day.

Wasted Hour

I run my day pretty much on a tight time schedule.

I’ve discovered an unccontrollable variable that leaves me some newly discovered free time.

I get off work, go home and feed the cats and walk the dogs. Then I wait for my wife to get home. Usually it’s about 45 minutes but often it’s an hour or two.

I could find something really good to do with this time, but what??

Last night Ihad a dream about my father. I was with my Mom and Sister, in Ohio, I think. Somewhere country residential. We were going inside a house when I looked over and saw my Dad. I think I woke up right then, it was 1:14 AM, but the dream continued. I said (to my Mom and Sister) “There’s Dad, do you see him?” I looked over and could tell by their faces they couldn’t. I looked back and he was motioning me to come over. I ran over and said “Dad, I’m sorry I was such a terrible son, I’m going to do everything I can to make the things you’ve done last” (Or something like that). Then we hugged and it felt sooo real. Then I was back in my room. Like I already said, I woke up the instant I saw him, so I got up, went outside, looked at the sky and said out loud “Dad, I’m sorry I was such a crappy son.” Then I went back to bed and it seems like half a second later the alarm went off. And now I’m back on my precise schedule. But the dream was so real, incredible. My Dad was in a good mood, very happy. I feel different this morning because of it. Hope the feeling lasts.

That’s why I have this blog, I think, to write stuff like this down. I’m happy sharing it with you.

Have a great day!
