Lazy Day

There are times when one can take things a little easier, maybe do some things that are out of the ordinary or maybe just some things that were not a case of desperation yet. That “take it easier” notion may even be a reasonable necessity. It seems it was for yours truly today while not really known.  Case in point:  during a need to visit the little girl’s room this evening, there was a surprising sound that could only have been the heating/air conditioning unit. It hadn’t run all day.  It was assumed it had been shut off.  It obviously wasn’t. 

Now, if the thing was not shut off, there probably wasn’t a need for that first thing in the morning.  In other words, it wasn’t running. As shutting it off seems to help with breathing (because it gets too hot in the place), there is a keen awareness of the unit, only there was none early in the day.  There is still a state of recovery from events during the week.  This in spite of the fact that there was a nice rest time in the afternoon – a good lunch, window opened for fresh air, etc. The “state” may have been aggravated by too much computer.

The computer is “precarious” with more than internet connection. A mouse problem may also exist.  The more involved thing is, a page will materialize in part.  If it is just left to sit for maybe five minutes it finishes coming up. One can proceed from there. Since there was that much connection, there was a chance to post a couple of items in places like the bed bug information thread that has been started where the general public might be able to pick up a few ideas.  No visiting has been possible for some time.  That was good. 

Labor unions fought for break time for reasons. 

Abbreviated April

April, 2011, is a shortened month. Seven of the twelve months of a year have thirty-one days and April, of course, is one that only has thirty.  In addition, since May 1 is Sunday, April’s last business day was today, the 29th.  April this year is similar to February. In order to maintain habits likely to avoid any late payment charge, the rent needed to be handed over already. No receipts are in hand or any such thing. It’s just a matter of handing over the money.  That was just something else to be concerned over this week. 

A noticeable thing of the day was that it was a “What day is it?” day. It was known it was Friday. However, if anyone had asked, a pause to remember would have been necessary. The mind was busy with the food truck was due today.  The rent needed to be taken to the office either before or after the food truck, and after wasn’t a good time.  The scooter was running low on energy again. The trip to the office (and outside) had to be done before the scooter was fed.  It would hold out just about that long. 

Friday also means try to get some of the pictures downloaded.  For some personally unknown reason the company that sends the stuff decided to spotlight the American Civil War.  A quick look last week led to the conclusion there wouldn’t be much; but, it still is good to look just in case. In addition, online news reports were loaded with interesting stories, such as the royal wedding, much of which was a little beyond reach due to the computer system. The local news did not get a look all day.  All of this was added to recent events. 

Old and slow makes it hard to keep up on things.
