...ah yes, that beginning of a new week smell.
Where's my gas mask?,
It is Monday, It is almost 5 am. 4:49 to be exact. I am up but I don't know if it is a good idea to go back to bed just for an hour or two.
Monday, about 4:15 AM here... still up, because for the first time in months I have an appointment (on Wednesday), so of course youngest kiddo flipped to a nocturnal schedule for the occasion. Unless I get very, very lucky, he will be deciding it's time for sleep right about the time I have to drop him off at my folks' house.
On the bright side, I'll be getting my first new pair of glasses/prescription since 2016. I've come to an awkward place where they're fine for distance, but anything close or mid range isn't working so great. And also the glass of the lenses is pretty beat up.
Good intentions are like down pillows. They're fluffy at first but collapse the moment you put any pressure on them.
What's good for the goose isn't always good for the mandoline.
I need a gas mask. Pollen is everywhere. I'm wearing a regular mask instead of a gas mask
Too true. Take the pdf book with you and see if you feel the urge to make one while in the van. It'll give you something to do during long dark winter evenings or (if you head far, far north) long light summer evenings. I found that when I stayed in my van on a campsite while working away from home, I needed something constructive to do while not at work. OK, I didn't know of Hasluck at the time so rather wasted my evenings, but now I'd definitely fill them.
Regards,
Richard
Complaint: Lost my lunch: My symphony buddy picked me up for breakfast this morning. Good to see him, he too had had a heart attack recently and had been resting for almost two months but is now back in circulation, although dragging a heart monitor/zapper with him all the time.
But enough about that. He picked me up at my house and suggested a breakfast joint we hadn't been to yet. The trip ended up being a 2-bit tour of the city, trying to find a quaint place that served breakfast on Monday morning.
We finally ended up at the non-quaintest place you could think of, Bob Evans, where all the ancient people go. BUT they had "Sausage Gravy & Biscuit". Yay!!! And it was wonderful, done just the right way, soft baking powder biscuits, hot spicy sausage gravy in a big bowl. So much that I was able to box up half of it to take home for my lunch.
Then he took me to a big grocery store in the middle of the city. Wide isles, massive selection of everything. I got lost in the twisty, turny, sub-isles and had to cut my shopping short because my legs were giving out. But walked out with two heavy bags of groceries anyway. When he dropped me off at my house I wrenched my back lifting the groceries out of the car,
and forgot about the doggy-box of Sausage Gravy & Biscuits I was going to have for lunch.
But it's not a big deal, I'll survive, I emailed him and suggested he dispose of it before it gets completely forgotten and something crawls out of it.
Hello, World! I just got my iPad set up and got my Bluetooth keyboard set up. Now to set up gmail.
Write the passcode on a sticky note. Then put the sticky note either in the Miscellaneous drawer or on the iPad.
Ow ow. Neuropathy in my right foot. Ow.
great idea
Ow, ow, empathetic commiseration. Uninvited spontaneous pain, and there's no blade, splinter or needle to pull out.
Why is it that one's foot is generally going numb yet it sometimes feels like needles are appearing in one's foot?
I have the meds for neuropathy, and they work pretty well, but sometimes the nerves just misfire anyway then ow.
A ponderable:
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
How I wonder what you are.
Between you and me the time is lost,
I see you then, but now's the distance crossed.
And beyond, most ancient light of all creation,
Your causal theories take much narration.
Glowing equally from all directions,
A clue to singular connections.
But could I only see you clearer,
Could you be perhaps a mirror?
If the light from you being absent time,
Could your face in truth be mine?
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
There is here and now we are.

Complaint:
It's April 1st, yet no one even bothered to at least pretend that the next stage in Genesis is soon to be unleashed.
Complaint:
It's April 1st, yet no one even bothered to at least pretend that the next stage in Genesis will be labelled Genesis X, not Genesis 10.
Complaint:
It's April 1st, yet no one even bothered to at least pretend that Genesis X will come in XF and XM variants.
However:
I just did all three to make up for it!
It is now winter and all the pollen is replaced with snow!
??? Not here. It is a bit chilly but no snow.
I do find it odd that nobody attempted an April Fool joke on me, or in here. And the day is nearly over. I'm outta here soon, so I won't see it if it happens after I log out...won't be back until at least about 8 to 9 hours from now.
Snow here, after a lovely "wintery mix" to coat the roads. We hadn't quite gotten to the pollen stage yet, though.
Would've been nice if the mosquitoes had hatched, but that's a bit off yet.
It was April Fools yesterday? Huh...
...not here, about an hour and 13 minutes to go.
We've been going from upper 70F for a week, and then as low as 30F for a high the following week.
Ours has been really zig-zag. We got a lovely 70 high finally (pretty unseasonable but not unheard of), two days later it was snowing. Then it got up to the low 40's -- and dropped and now we have about 4-5" of snow at a ballpark from looking at my porch railing. In a normal year it'd be an "oh, this again" reaction, but that's actually more than usual for this past season. We're about two feet behind for snowfall, last I heard.
Non-complaint: Wheee..., other day out this week.
I'm catching the Ancient Person's Bus in a few minutes for a quick trip for a blood test, then breakfast in a brand new TimHortons (new building across from the old TimHorton's), then drop in at the drugstore to use my $10 coupon before I lose it, then an Uber home.
'Nother non-complaint: Wheee..., after messing up so many ancient washcloths & towels & sheets with my spate of bloody noses, I finally received new towels, washcloths & sheets from Amazon, and everything matches. Ooh, classy! And now I have a bag of rags too.
So much excitement in one week, Wheee...
Weather Report: mid 30s, to 40s, rain in the afternoon.
Complaint: Been spending too much money lately, budget fraying, but it's only two weeks till payday, I might make it before buttons start popping.
It was an April Fools joke. Also I don't like pollen. Not really to be exact, I don't like how my body reacts to pollen.
I wonder why we still wonder. When we know what a star is. It's a super massive nuclear bomb that goes off for billions of years until it has no more Hydrogen to smash together and form Helium, at which point it then blows up in such a stupendous explosion that it distorts the fabric of space and time and makes new elements of the sort that make all of us. Indicating that we are made from the ashes of dead stars.
Try getting that into a nursery school song. Would be a feat worthy of significant ponderation.
Regards,
Richard

Waste of time mate, never happened, I think everyone's already lost the will to live - lol
We are stardust, we are golden...
Only if it is very massive, lighter stars (including the Sun) go out less spectacularly, and some much smaller ones just gently fade.
