It stormed all night and through the morning – a bombastic stormy night and watery morning hinting at a river. With last night’s dinner being near midnight and the end of a tiring day, yours truly left the barely touched coffee in the cup thinking that if there was a middle of the night awakening, coffee would be ready. There was. And, a good four hours later there was a second awakening. The scooter had scant energy, the computer didn’t connect, assorted regularly used things like the toilet paper dispenser needed replenishing.
Now, for example, it was not “simple” replenishing. Case in point: a new bottle of alcohol had to be opened to put some in the spray bottle used to clean off things (including the hands) from whatever. (It doesn’t work well on things like pancake syrup, but it does work well on a lot.) The inner cap wouldn’t come off. Scissors had to be used to poke a hole in the thing to get an edge to pull it off. Then, during the “replenishing” part, the stuff sloshed there and dripped here overly distributing said alcohol.
All things were not replenished well into the day, scooter included. Meanwhile, homemaker aide is due tomorrow, with only essentially four hours of real sleep, operations are a bit fuzzy, it cost another ninety-nine cents to check the email (and there is something there for attention), and there was no trip to the lobby at around 12:00 p.m. (there probably won’t be one tomorrow, either, as things are never ready for the homemaker aide early enough). However, on the positive side, lunch was at 1:30 p.m., not 4:00 p.m.
Small things are better than no things.
