Thursday And I'm Bored Shitless

Last night was a beautiful full moon and there was a faint ring around it. I decided to do a grounding meditation along with a bit of chanting. I haven't done this in a long time because of my medical problems. It felt wonderful and I slept like a baby all night long. When I woke up this morning there was a light rain almost mistlike falling. Everything was a deep dark green and I felt refreshed as if I had woken from a thousand year sleep. Then my body started to hurt.

I grabbed my rather extra large cup of coffee that was finished blurping from the machine. Sadly it's not a Keurig, although David wanted to get one for me for my birthday last month I asked for something cheaper, more economical. I was on my way out the door to drop off my 24hour urine test and get my blood drawn again. You would think I wouldn't mind this shit since I was once a Lab Tech, once upon a time. This deal with getting drawn still bothers me.

Traffic was light as usual. Just a boring day. The county fair starts tomorrow with a parade and David will be off. He is taking the day because his birthday is Saturday. Right now we are both 60 years old. I found out I am his age for exactly 15 days out of the year from my birthday until his. Weird shit!

He wants to do some yard work this weekend and I have to get a little house work done too. I'm hoping to be able to do something if my body lets me. Lately, it's been hard to bend down to pick up all the dog toys. If I could just teach the puppies to pick up after themselves, life would be a breeze around here.

Not much else happening around here. Dogs are barking at cats, birds ar singing, it's hot and humid as hell. Same old shit, just a different day.

It's Thursday

I gave in to my needs. I went back to my old loves, heating pad and pain meds. I just couldn't stay away. Well I'm back to square one now. I've been  sleeping when I can and doing minor house chores when I can.

Last night I fell asleep with the heating pad on and woke up scared. I'm always worried that I'll burn myself or start a fire even though it turns itself off after and hour.  It has a fail safe mode that if you turn it on by accident, and don't move the heat settings for 1 minute it will shut off. It's so cool.

Anywho David did some wild and wooly yard work this past weekend. He cut down the tomato bushes. Yes, yes he did. The heat was effecting the size of the tomatoes and they were splitting bad. So he decided to cut them down. I told him that when the cooler temperatures come in September it wouldn't be such a bad idea to buy new tomato bushes. It doesn't get really cold here until near the end of November. So he is going to see if the nursery has any to sell. We're hopeful on that subject that they will.

Something we need desperately to get done around the house, is fix the hot water heater. The heating element is going out. I love molten lava hot water when I do the dishes or take showers and it's like 3 minutes into washing with hot water when it turns into cryogenic stasis ice cold. The kind of heater we have is a Point of Use Tankless water heater. Meaning it only heats the water when you need it hot. The heating element goes out on that thing like clock work every year. It's the build up in the jets. I really wonder if this is a regular problem with everyone or just the model we use. Sigh*, I need to do some online analysis.
