The kid left today to drive down to the RGV for some stupid anime convention. Years ago, when the kid was in high school, she got the lead part in the school play. It was a big deal, and she had rehearsed hard to get the part.
The week of the play, the kid found out there was an anime convention on the Island, and she blew off the school play to attend the convention. Man, there were a lot of really angry people over that, but she didn’t give a shit.
We have mixed up weather today, but it’s cloudy, windy from the south east, and sprinkles here and there, but no official precip forecasted. The forecast high is low 80s. Humidity is up in the 70% range.
Cloudy and slightly warmer today. The wife has planted a bug that I need to get out and mow. She has expressed interest in purchasing her own riding lawn mower.
I think I’ll ask her to join me in my endeavor to pull our current paid for riding lawn mower, into which I have sunk no less than $700 since acquiring it. This will entail moving the trailer from behind the mower in the shed, since I had to move the trail off the RV pad to accommodate her sister when they were staying up here, looking around for properties.
Unfortunately, the trailer must be hooked to the pickup to move it from behind the mower…AND the trailer has a slow leak in one of the tires, and fixing it well….OK well I haven’t figured it out yet. I have a plug kit that I used on my pickup tires a couple years ago, but the trailer will have to be jacked up and worked on while wheel attached..as I said, have not figured out all the details..
Or maybe just remove the wheel. and haul it to the local shop for repair.
The bottom line is that I cannot mow until the trailer is moved out of the way. I have nowhere else to park it except on the RV pad, but fixing the tire there will require more figuring out.
The mower should run, as it has its own battery tender…it too may likely need some airing up of the tires…we’re pushing 10 months now of non use.
I’ve been using the elliptical exerciser the past few days (5 out of 6), and have gotten up to 90 seconds. Believe me when I step off that thing at 91 seconds, I am out of breath, and my legs are wobbly.
The doc was supposed to get me signed up for a “reconditioning exercise” program at the hospital, but have not heard anything yet.
I just got the bill for my Cpap supplies, that I thought would be free…wrong again Dumbo.
I have been fighting with Amazon about a package I ordered. They guaranteed delivery on Saturday. It was shipped UPS. Tracking showed that the package sat in the UPS warehouse Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. My contention is that the UPS driver decided not to deliver the package on the weekend, so left it.
The package arrived yesterday, and the wife said she would take it to Lil’ SIL’s, as I had bought it as a gift for them for our Saturday get together.
Amazon would not hear of it, so I filed a dispute with my credit card company.
It ain’t the money, it’s the principal, and I’m done getting screwed by UPS, FedEx, Amazon, and USPS. I am really close to taking some drastic action. And with all the shit going in in DC, it just might push me over the edge.
https://youtu.be/IhDKHo2wapM I have started the Elegy, another expensive type of inhaler. Although I have not been specifically told as such, these particular meds are for COPD…if that’s what I have, no one has told.
Unfortunately, the Elegy conflicts with several other meds I am taking for BP, and the Elegy can interfere with them…
Oh, and I had to discontinue the Breztry inhaler…I still had 75 hits left. Who will reimburse me the $$ for the remainder?.
Man, we are so screwed. The administration is trying very hard to force the United States into a Communist state, and our physicians are getting dumber and risking our lives on
Well, let’s try this then
attitude.
Yes, I was off yesterday, as we attended a celebration with Lil SIL and Jack..
The weather will be warming up this week. We welcomed the brief blast of colder air, and would welcome another, should one exist.
Up today at 12:15 or so, and into the shower and shave routine. I am still working on a routine that is satisfactory. At present, I shave my face with the razor in the shower, dry off, and then the rest of my head with the electric shaver, using Lectric Shave.
Today is April 20. For those who may partake of toaky, 4/20 has special meaning. If I have to ‘splane it, then you are not a participant of toaky…move along…
We are expecting some heavy thunderstorms late this afternoon. The wife is ecstatic. Me, not so much. I just sprayed for scorpions yesterday, although they do say that rain does not hurt the poison, if it has dried.
I received notifications from the pharmacy that both my expensive assed prescriptions are ready for pickup. That will cost nearly $400…great…I just paid $1000 to my credit card, now I get to run it back up again. By the way, Big Pharma do not give out coupons to those of us on Medicare, so dig deep.
Since I no longer am able to smoke, I have gone this route..
I got up today to make the wife some tea, but I was too late, and she got it done before I did.
I did hang the cabinet door, and as long as no one goes for a ride on it, it should hold…for a while anyway…next step is to replace entire doors (both of them), sand, poly, and new hinges..
A front will blow through this weekend, dropping temps some. Sunday will have a high in 70s.
The wife’s tomato plant is doing very well, especially after I got her to trim it back. No red ones yet, but prospects are good.
The onions are also doing nicely, as long as she keeps watering them.
I received a notification from the pharmacy that they had ordered the Trelegy for me. I have no idea what it costs, so ’twill be a surprise when I go get it. I hope it works better than the other expensive assed inhaler I have to buy.
I also noticed that when insurance pays for a med completely, they don’t release it until the day it’s due, but it there is a copay on my part, they will let it go earlier…coincidence? I think not.
The wife is outside cutting the heads off the ding danged thistles.
I need to spray for scorpions as well. I found a live one by the closet a couple days ago. Yeah, it’s time.
And this is remembering Dicky Betts who passed away yesterday.
