In a way, yes, because it means less to pack!
I’m not looking forward to the ride to Walmart and back. But it is what it is, and like the impending trip, I’ll make the best of it.
Now, I’m going to take some pills and head out the door.
I hope you have a non-terrifying drive and enjoy some pretty views.
When the sun comes up on the way home, it will be pretty. If it’s light enough, I’ll stop and take a photo overlooking the town. Now I’m outta here!
Good morning. Happy Tuesday. We will hope this is not Monday Part Deux.
LOL
No, ArGee, it better not be Monday Part Deux. I can only withstand one Murphy’s Law Day a week!
It was still too dark on the way home to take a photo, because I don’t know that back road well enough to know the pull-outs. The mesas were beautiful against the early dawn sky, so it would have made for a stuning photo or two.
I sent a text to my Favorite Son this morning, telling him I had bone dibs on the floor in the living room to sleep on! Maybe they’ll stick me in the VW Room.
Hi, N-T-I. How’s Tricks?
Ooh, probably a bad question on a conservative site this close to the election.
Had to bag Tricks for lunch last week. I miss Tricks ......
Tricks said to say Hi to ya
One of my stops this morning was Walgreen’s, where I picked up a prescription for the nerves in my neck. I didn’t think any more about it until I got ready to put the pills away. The last name on the unfamiliar bottle was “McVyckers.” WHAT??
Well, that took a few more minutes out of my day that I hadn’t planned on and then I wonder why I can’t concentrate on packing.
I got a sudden invitation to go to the dentist, for the first time in a year, so I did. It was un-fun, but at least I have teeth.
When I got back, we read the first scene of “Henry V.” Then we looked up the history and found that Shakespeare got it wrong, but it wasn’t his fault: he was using history books extant in his time.
Next, I’ll take Pat to work, and then I can go to nap, perhaps with a cat.
They gave you the wrong person’s medicine? Sigh.
Yes they did. I was not happy, because the gal was trying to train a new person and wait on me at the same time. The worst part of it is that the drug has been re-categorized so that I need to present ID to pick it up. The tech is one that I’ve been dealing with since I moved here, so that’s even worse.
Things that make you go “hmmmm.”
Ah, Tricks are for kids.
GB. I TOYED with the notion of moving there to live in the old family home, Field House Sowerby Bridge, of mid-1700’s vintage, but...immigration and subsequent cash flow thornies impeded.
Over the weekend I began to wonder what it’d be like living in Perth; sort of a “go as far away as possible and get lost” impulse.
I might not mind two or three acres dotted with “tiny houses” each appointed to different purposes; that one’s the Master Suite/kitchenette, those three over there are all kid’s bed/bath/studio loft houses, the garage/shop/pool hall/bar is toward the road with the living/dining/kitchen complex to the right... Some such thing as that with paths, and gardens connecting them.
Crew is here today cleaning and spiffing up the gutters in readiness for The Deulge To Come; it being 2020, yaknow.
I HAVE NOT yet seen anyone offering to sell an Ark...
No, Arks aren’t in vogue, this time around, but you may want to invest in fire insurance! ;o]
There are many ancestral homes over there, waiting for me, but they’re currently occupied by those of a more recent Royal Lineage.
I’ve thought of a tiny house, but I would want a small piece of ground to put it on. My needs are simple and few. A vehicle with a working radio would be an upgrade, though, so maybe, when I get moved to AR, my Favorite Son, who will instantly become my Favorite Mechanic, can fix that for me.
And now, I’m headed down the hall. I’ve had enough of this Monday and a half!
It seems as though a dispersed household would be inconvenient in the rain.
I wouldn’t mind moving to the moon or Mars. But I haven’t seen any opportunities yet.
