I'm fed up with the inept weather reporting. I checked the forecast with 2 separate weather apps from Tuesday.. it said Wednesday was going to be sunny, Thursday would be heavy cloud.. Friday and Saturday rain.. So I arranged my life around those forecasts .. yesterday ended up not sunny, but very cloudy.. today is sunny.. when it should have been miserable, and I'm stuck in waiting for a delivery.. ..I have no idea how the meteorologists get paid so much, .. I wish I could find me a job that pays me megabucks to get everything wrong.. :rolleyes:

I always say that about weather men/women too. Never right and it doesn't matter. Everyone is back the next day to get the weather report from them.

We could have avoided the traffic by taking 79th going west immediately as his other pick up was West 43rd but the idiot went through the east side @Kika. I went nutso berserko.

What a dope!! I wonder how the drivers get paid for AAR pickups. Was he trying to increase his $$ by going the congested way? I would have gone berserk too.

and I presume that's a discounted price...

Because it is an MTA program the fare is only $2.75, the same price as riding the subway or bus.

Yes discounted, as @Pepper mentioned. Considering that a regular cab would probably cost in the vicinity of $70 - $80 dollars without the tip, this is a good deal.
However, discounted prices come with a cost to your nerves and patience.
The subways here are just not safe at all today. Older people are targets.

Drivers get paid $40 a ride, a cut in pay. During the pandemic even the yellow & greens were glad to get it. I know the outfit they work for, they are the worst, or maybe the truly worst lost their contracts one might hope.

OH goodness. we're very lucky with the subway here.. ( Tube as it's called in England but Subway in Scotland )
 
We didn't even get close to breaking a temperature record. It was only 90 degrees. Furthermore, when we get up in the morning it's probably only going to be about 60, with a high temp of around 78 tomorrow. Yippee.

Why do I feel like today is Friday? And what difference does it make anyway? It'll be weeks before my brain adjusts to "normal" working five days and getting two days off again after supervisor comes back. Sunday and Monday are inventory days so of course I'm working:mad:because even if supervisor is back, he'll be doing inventory while I bake. And bake. And bake. Because, yanno...I'm a baker.

Patio chairs turned out to be a giant PITA and more involved than first thought so DS/DSIL decided the easiest way to get them repaired would be to take them home, repair, bring them back. Sigh. In the meantime, I've borrowed two chairs from DD's patio because they never use theirs anyway.

I have it on good authority that Friday isn't until tomorrow.
 
I slept last night!!!! Yea! I had little to no shoulder pain during the night..although it is annoyed now. Still... I slept!!! 😃

Our really hot weather has left, for now. This morning is cooler than it has been....Andy couldn't wait to come in to nap in the kitchen!! LOL. Our high is only expected to be around 71°F/21.6°C. 🌞

I bought 2 mums the other day and I was hoping to plant them today. I didn't think ahead as to how I'll accomplish that with only one hand!!! LOL

I started watching Firefly again today...it's one of the very few TV shows that I will re-watch. 😍
 
Since it’s not going to be a nice day outside……I think I will travel downstairs, and start going through my sewing stuff.
Do I need 100 zippers…..nope……do I need 5000 buttons……nope……2000 spools of thread……nope…..and so on.
I think you get the picture.
If it drys off outside, might put some things away in the shed for winter.

I discovered fleas on my bunny boy yesterday! So I will be combing him twice a day whether he likes it or not. Making sure to keep his nails cut short because he scratches himself. Now I think this is what caused his eye to have issues, him scratching around it. Taking his whole cage apart and washing it down.............might be doing that daily till I get rid of these creatures from h*ll.

He is 8 years old and has NEVER had fleas. I went through this over the years with my cats and my dog. It was always worse as they got older because they were more susceptible to them. Rabbit does not go outside so someone (or me) brought one or more in as a hitchhiker. Just walking outside but especially in grass can bring them in. I will be vacuuming like a crazy woman every day and washing his various sleeping rugs and things too. They have got to go!

So sorry to hear the flea issue……I have been very lucky, as to all the dogs and cats i’ve had over the years…..never once had a flea.
Hope it doesn’t take too long to solve this problem.
 
I will likely be fine, but....

I just wanted to put a note here, that I am having a medical procedure, today, and just in case of a complication, I would not want members here, that have been so very wonderful for me to have interactions with, to wonder where I went, if in any case, I go anyplace.:love:

I will definitely be back, if possible! 🤩👍
(and again, will probably be fine.)
