Friday June 29th (aka Home Depot Run: Try #2)
 
Friday! |waves|

Home Depot didn't have the truck I rented to pick up my kitchen cabinets yesterday |facepalm| so I'll be heading over there shortly. Of course, this means nothing got done in the kitchen yesterday.

Actually, not much got done at all around here yesterday. I did finish the Netflix docuseries I was watching (I'll post in the other thread) and I watched Pacific Rim Uprising which was pretty good for that kind of movie. It took me about 1/2 the movie to realize the main character was Finn from Star Wars & I had no idea the other guy was Clint Eastwood's kid until the credits.

Well, time to go to Home Depot & then fuck my back |thumb

Good Morning :)

Yesterday I ended up working on the backyard all day, except for the two football games, and now I'm extremely sore. I did get a lot done including cutting down all the branches on 11 cypress trees. The pile is huge and now I may need to call a tree service to come in with a wood chipper and truck as I do not think I can get it all into a large dumpster with all the other stuff I have. So this will cost more than I thought |banghead|

Since I'm sore it looks like I'll do work and maybe get to that stack of checks today.

Enjoy your Friday!

Go on, make me miss the days when I lived out in rural Texas and could just call the local volunteer fire department and let them know I was burning shit.

There are days you know you are going to be useless.. About a week ago, I got a message from an undiscovered cousin on Facebook who had a good deal of info on the two uncles that disappeared in 1938. My mom never knew what happened to them. Well, now I have been explaining to her about Stalin's purge of Finns. Her first question to me? Why were they arrested? On what charges? So I explained it to her again carefully -- that they were arrested simply because they were Finns. Stalin didn't like them anymore so it was time to say goodbye to them. Both uncles had accepted job offers in a ski factory that offered nice perks like housing and upgraded shopping. One left from Canada, the other from the US. The chilling part to me is when my mom said her father had also been thinking of accepting that job offer, but changed his mind.

So then, today I get the pictures from my brother's burial in Omaha and a couple of pictures of him in happier times. Why is it when you look at pictures of a US military funeral and see the lone bugler you can hear Taps? I am just a jumble of emotions right now.

Take me away to the nice, safe fantasy world of porn... I think I will hide there for a while.

Afternoon all!

Not that I have to explain my absence but I've been feeling out of sorts this week. I've come to the conclusion that it's unlikely my ear ringing will go away and that's put me in a bit of a funk. It's just not the ear ringing but my lack of ability to concentrate and energy that now seem to be a part of my life.

I picked up a new monitor this week and just set it up. Nothing fancy but it's nice to have. Going to clean up the mess and put the old monitor in the garage sale pile (which we happen to be having tomorrow).

Have a good day! |thumb

How I wish I could do that!
