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.
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.
“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.
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.
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.
i have had a Galaxy Watch 2 ever since my original Galaxy Watch died. There was recently a software update that seems to make the watch use up battery a lot quicker. I’m not really happy about it. I used to put it to charge when I got in the shower and I would be at 100%. 10 minutes or so morning and night (from into the shower until I leave for work in the mornings). It would be in the 70 to 80 percent rang when I plugged it in. Now it’s 40 to 60 percent and I actually plugged it in to charge while I did my exercises this morning. So the watch isn’t doing it’s prime function, monitor my activity.
Galaxy Watch 2 on the charger.
And I’m not really happy about it. But I’m not losing sleep over it.
it was a good, quiet weekend, rainy Saturday, sunny Sunday and now it’s back to work!
Yesterday I took Ashy to work with me and on the way started having doubts. Where were my reminders for this appointment? I looked at my calendar and it said the appointment was Friday. Naw, I’m sure it was Wednesday.
I called the vet and it is indeed on Friday.
So I took Ashy back home. She didn’t really seem to enjoy the car ride. Too bad, back in the car tomorrow.
This morning I was on my roof, looking at the sunrise and listening to the birds and other sounds. I started thinking about what a cool job it would be to be a Mars Rover operator. Go to work early, put on the 3D goggles, and the headphones and sit there on Mars and watch the sunrise and hear the sounds. No birds, but maybe some wind.
Jupiter from Mars
I saw an article yesterday about Mars’s moon Deimos passing in front of Jupiter. See the article HERE.
Jupiter apparently would look quite large from Mars at its closest. It would be a cool thing to see.
Today Ashy the cat is going in for a checkup. Hope she’s not too miserable at work with me.
