Skywise has called and he's about 30 minutes out so I'm calling it a night.

Afternoon.
Another busy morning.
Still hot.  Smiley
We had lunch in town and stopped at Walgren's and bought new cane for each of us. I don't use mine as much as Skywise does but I've been using mine longer and the grip was getting "sticky" so I got a new one too.
Skywise is on his way to work and I'm getting cooled off before I start on my list.

Knees ache. (What else is new?)
Working on dinner.
Internet is boring/same old, same old.
So very, very tired of this reality....

Dinner is ready. Smiley
As soon as I eat, I'm going to get prone for the rest of the night. My legs are giving me no peace and getting off my feet is the only relief -- such as it is -- that I'm going to get.

Rain all around us but not a drop here.
The ground is dry as a bone and rock hard.
We need a daylong, gentle rain.

ETA: Just heard a "snap" in the kitchen. Second mouse of the night in the trap. Moonie is taking it out to release it.

Afternoon.
Getting a late start here. *sigh*
Been getting caught up and it's damned depressing.

Working on dinner.
Thought we were going to lose power for a while but we didn't.
Still no rain to speak of.
The internet turned out to be worse than "depressing" thanks to that Smiley pretending to be President...

Just found a YouTube clip from The A-Team.
Gonna have to get the DVDs.
The show premiered when I was pregnant with Moonie.
Don't know if there was any pre-natal influence but I'm pretty sure it's something she'd enjoy.

Afternoon.
"Hot and Humid" continues. Smiley Hoping for a break soon. I shouldn't complain. It will be colder than Hoth soon enough.  Snowfall Shoveling out Blizzard Winter
The Alton's new medical book arrived. That sucker is a TOME! It's gonna need one of my special covers to protect it. I'll get started on it today since I have the book in hand and can make it to measure.
The other book I'm waiting for -- hopefully relevant to the course I'm taking -- STILL has not been mailed. The author's excuses are wearing thin.  Smiley Smiley Smiley
He bit off more than he could chew by handling the packing/shipping himself in addition to his home based business. I will NOT be ordering anything else from him until/unless he writes a "Volume 2" of this book and it looks like it is worth my time and aggravation...

The news alternates between heartbreaking and infuriating. I dare not post what I'm thinking on FB 'cause I'd get banned -- probably permanently -- and likely have either the Secret Service or the FBI-- if not both -- at my door and THAT is something I do NOT need.
That my sentiments are shared by most if not all of the country is beside the point. Those currently calling the shots do NOT share that opinion and until they are removed, one has to be careful about what one says..... It's shaping up to be a very long four years.

FINALLY!!!!!


The damned book is in the mail. I "should" get it Monday. Since it's 'Priority Mail" I hope to get it sooner but realistically.... Monday. Then I'll see if it is worth all the aggravation!

A "currently" Cat 4 hurricane is expected to come ashore on Sunday. We "might" get some rain out of it midweek. We could sure use it, around here anyway. There's been rain all around us but nothing here.

My book is now at the regional distribution center. As of 10:36 pm anyway.
Hopefully soon to be on a plane to Chicago, Indianapolis or Cincinnati -- preferably Indianapolis but that will depend on what plane it is loaded on. Still looks like Monday delivery.

Afternoon.
We're back from Home Depot. We got what we needed for two major projects. One for Skywise and one for me.
He is currently working on the back porch roof. It's hot but not as hot here as it is in the city.
I'll start mine later. I wanted to get the materials before the price went any higher.

Third load of laundry in the washer.
Went into town for a light dinner. I'll probably have a snack later to take my pill.
My book is in Indianapolis, it arrived at the airport at 4:28 and is now downtown. Barring a massive "scanning" screwup, delivery on Monday is assured.

Skywise has been using the computer to get caught up.
I had to take a painkiller at 10:30 and I'm STILL in pain. I don't want to think about how I'd feel if I hadn't!
Heading out. It's been a long, busy day and tomorrow could be more of the same.

Afternoon.
The porch roof is finished.
At least Skywise is down off of it and he didn't get rained on.
We're hoping for a good period of rain out of Ida. If the track moves north a little bit we should get a good soaking.

My book is downtown and has been scanned "out". That means it's on the dock/in a truck waiting to head into the local post office later tonight. Don't know when the letter carrier will make it out here tomorrow -- it will be Monday after all -- but it "should" get here. Finally.
TWO DAMNED WEEKS LATER THAN EXPECTED.
The damned thing had better be worth it!

We had a brief downpour a couple of hours ago and the rain actually reached the ground! I wasn't nearly enough but every little bit helps!!

Almost time for bed so I'm going to wrap this up. I "should" get the book I've been waiting for tomorrow. The family will be relieved since I'm been waiting for it since the 13th and bitching when days passed without it being mailed. Anyway...

Afternoon.
We made a quick run to Home Depot to return a package of shingles Skywise didn't use. I got more wood for my "trunk" project which I needed because I realized that I needed to redesign it. We also ate before coming home.
It's rained and more is expected. Smiley
My book is out for delivery. More> Smiley
Now to get caught up while waiting for the lettercarrier!
