A kid who licked toilets as part of the #CoronaVirusChallenge says he's now in the hospital with coronavirus. @gayshawnmendes was also just suspended from twitter
One year when we were in Florida with our family we took the kids to Cocoa Beach to play in the sand. It turned out a Shuttle launched that day. We were too far away for it to be really spectacular (like the Apollo launches we watched when I was a kid) but it was still cool.
We bought land in FL when I was a young bride, but when we divorced, my ex- sold it and didn’t share the proceeds. Since then, I’ve never wanted to see anything in FL except on TV. Or movies. Silly, I know, but...
Florida has some nice scenery, but so does South Carolina.
LOL, that's a good one.
I like swamp and sinkholes ... all these years of studying environmental science with the Extremely Numerous Offspring.

Praying types needed thatway.
The humidity of the East Coast as well as the Midwest has always been a deterrent to me, as my lungs have a hard time functioning long-term in such high humidity. Been there, done that.
"Did I want you for something?"
Looks like the first foray into the jungle!
Good morning.
I’m not excited about my trip into St George, and I’ll ask once again when they will reopen the Hurricane store. Now that summer is full on (104° today, lowering by a few degrees a day for the next week) it will be harder and harder for me to make that drive.
I can only hope to move by this time next year.
I had ordered a PenTel aluminum mechanical pencil (cheaper, and free S&H) and tracked it from the day of the shipping notification. It was delivered yesterday. But not to me. Must be a substitute mail carrier, because Adam never misses a trick.
So I sent a complaint to the USPS to let them know I don’t appreciate sloppy work. We’ll see if it turns up. Or if I have to order another. So that’s what has taken some time this morning. Plus reading news...
So now, I’m going to go wash my face off and comb my head. Maybe then, my day can start. For real.
The rain has stopped here, but it’s too wet for Epic Fail Lawn Service to do anything. The Advanced Grass Substitute - “Another word for ‘weeds’ is ‘nature’!” - will strangle us in our beds.
Good luck on your trip, and I hope your pencil turns up soon.
The mulberry tree is the thing that will strangle me in my bed. The thing grows sucker limbs at the rate of about 6-12” a day, and if the suckers aren’t cut off, they will overtake me as I walk to the truck. It will have to come out “soon” but I doubt I’ll be living here by then. There is one next to it and between the two of them, they keep this apartment and the first one in the building next to me very shady in the mornings.
If my pencil doesn’t turn up soon (most people in these apartments are honest,) so it may have been mis-delivered to someone else, who, if not blind, will return it. We’ll see.
I’m so disgusted with the caliber of people the USPS hires these days, that I hate to even use the service. But friends, family and eBay beckon, so.... ;o]
Happy Friday Eve, everyone.
Although it’s hard to remember it’s already Thursday when it’s a short work-week.
Happy Friday Eve to you, as well. I keep thinking this is Tuesday again. Don’t ask me why. Life inside my head is really strange.
It’s Thorsday, folks, Thorsday. Keep your head down!
We saw the sun, briefly. At least the break in the rain makes it less likely that we’ll be Entirely Surrounded By Water.
No more Floods, remember? He said “No more floods!” Invest in umbrellas, water wings and rafts. ;o]
I don’t want to make that trip this morning, but its for the pain clinic, and I have to go. *sigh*
At least I feel well enough to drive.
I keep meaning to tell you that Camilla has learned how to mimic the sounds of the wild birds with nests close to the apartment. It’s funny to hear her call the other birds. Gonzo just screams. He has other sounds, but mostly intimate, so until he’s put back into the cage with Camilla, he won’t get to that point.
It must be very interesting to have multiple bird-sounds in the house.
I made it back safely, but as usual, in the heat, the truck overheated and I had to turn the heater on full blast on the way home.
I dropped of my prescription, and just barely walked in the door when there was a text from Walgreens saying it was ready. I’m not going back out today.
I wanted something like a nice cold beer in a really cool place, but came home because its almost time to take another dose of pills.
It is interesting to hear the various sounds the bird make when they are busy being bird friends, but the screaming is often more than I can handle. If it gets too bad, I just cover them. Problem solved. :o]
I have often wished I could just throw a blanket over the children to make them be quiet, or switch the light off and have them fall into somnolence, like the dragons do.
My mother thought ice water was good incentive...
(I’ll just leave that right there...)
Life outside is pretty strange, too. At least, that’s assuming I’m not a figment of your imagination. In that case we’ll never know.
I am really wondering why I keep telling them I’m in each day. I guess one doesn’t look a paycheck in the mouth, at least in this time.
Does a paycheck have a mouth?
I should quit while I’m behind.
