Gray Monday Vacay Day

     One of my favorite blogs seems to be leaving.  70 child.  So I sent my thanks and good wishes.  Of course I messed it up considerably.  Had that comment verification enabled, so each time I entered it I just noticed it didn't say sent.  Long story shortened, I sent the message like 10 times until I saw the message was on the top.  Oh well. 

     Of course my coffee is good. You're joining me at about the 3rd and final cup mark.  So this week I'm off.  Looks like scattered showers until Thursday.  Technically fine with me.  What is on the agenda today.

Coffee.  Check.

     That's about it at the moment.  Oh and I do want to visit my pal at the cigar shop, just to say hello.  Think it will be my only sojourn there this week.  I actually stopped there Saturday, and of course Sunday as well.  Hoping to catch up with another friend who is a regular there.  Enough about that plop.

     Summer is ending, sad.  Although I may have cracked the code slightly.  We all wonder how we loose the time when so young and how it goes so fast.  For me I think I find it goes about pay periods.  Seriously hear me out.

     Younger me did chores for a once a week allowance.  Having only me to spend it on.  Being outdoors all day and a lot of the evening.  Glorious.  There are moments when I can still catch certain colors of the Summer sky and trees, I pause.  It takes me back.  I kid you not, one dusk reminded me so much of my youth I saw a vision of my former best friend from childhood.  I knew she wasn't there.  I let the image just sit, I enjoyed it.  Auburn hair, yellow dress, killer smile.  MIND OUT OF THE GUTTER PEEPS!  Talking about when kids were kids here.  She stayed next door, I remember running across dew soaked lawns with her.  Anyway...

     As we get older and more distracted time starts to shrink.  Not so much perceptibly, at least to me.  My point is now as an adult. I get paid every 2 weeks.  So Summer is generally 6 paychecks.  Damn I lost my rhythm, I'd apologize but we did that already about something else.  Okay let me focus....sip aging coffee.

     Poured out aged cold coffee; rinsed mug; shut both kitchen lamps brother in law left on as an offering to the electric company.  Sunday passed well enough.  Lounge was good.  Brother in law, although drunk, managed to get the pork roast and potatoes into the oven.  Came out nice too.  Cigar by the water with live music across the lawn.  Was some sort of rock-a-billy stuff.  Actually a little disappointing.  But I did have my IPod with me so listened to some pod-casts.

     Today.  Wish I could tell me, let alone you, what is planned.  Gray weather has thrown me for a loop.  To expensive a week to travel, I am thinking of next week.  I'm also considering a considerably cheaper, not so much closer, overnight this week.  More to come on that when it gels in my head.  Weill there is always cleaning, I've always got that to do.  Wondering if sister will go to work this week.  Ugh.  Anyway.

     So I simply am at a loss of what I am doing.  The only planned thing is not to waste money.  Burn on my hand is healing.  Glad it happened when it did, I can ensure the maximum of cleanliness for it.  Bandage it when I go out, when I'm home and not doing much I let it breathe, and yes I bandage it whilst I sleep. I'm a tosser and turner.

     Okay so that's it for now.  Going to try for an entry a day if I'm not away.  Oh read this part last if you like because I've just been inspired to say something else.

     This week or weekend I watched on YouTube, 'I forgot my phone'  which I feel really highlights how invasive technology has become in our lives.  Yes I'm fond of my phone.  Yes I check it every so often.  No, never in the middle of a conversation.  We really are lurching towards a Bradbury future.

     Okay you may not know the story, quick synopsis.  Was about a man who went for a walk in the evening, no one else is seen out..  Robot cops detain him.  Ask why is he outside.  Is his entertainment center broken, his computer.  Obviously the story is a bit ahead of his time, but the point is he is arrested and sent away because of it.  Look it up or something.  I must go.  Do a few emails, then going out, even if it is only to play in the rain.

Later.
