Oh, God! Why are you reading this?

It was just a horrible day yesterday. Got a call from my trash co., I owe a 1 month back payment. I'm on "autopay"-how could that happen. They screwed up and forgot a month. They have this web site that was designed in 1948, and hasn't been updated since. The power loss knocked of my WIFI, so more "forgot password" stuff. Why is it that my wonderful password app. can never remember the password on the sites I'm on? I spent an hour again talking to Singpuwalla, my cable rep. Just to let you know, she and her kids are doing "veddy, veddy good".

All these annoying things that you have happening to you and all I can think about is why did the mechanic turn off the auto control button of your interior light. Weird.
 
I got my new cable box. The channels have different numbers, and checking on what's on is different. Life is just sooo difficult.
Since I make the same breakfast everyday, I have this routine to save steps. The last step is putting the ketchup bottle away. It's Heinz, and the "57" label HAS to be facing out. OMG!! If the label was facing in the Universe would crumble into a little ball. Yea, I know it won't, but having the label facing the 'wrong way', would bug me all day long. I've been living in this home for 35 years, and there's things that needed to be fixed since I moved in, and that hasn't bothered me a bit, but a Ketchup bottle's label has to be just right?????????
Humans.!!!!!!!!

How 'bout getting a Heinz label and sticking it on the backside of the Heinz bottle? Problem solved. :ROFLMAO:
 
I'm proud of myself. I started to clean out my shed. I'm halfway through. I can't believe all the stuff I don't remember having. I have a lot of single use tools. See, if you have a job to do, you need to buy special tools and then do the job. I bought the tools; all I have to do is do the rest of the job. By my calculations, I'm halfway finished on a lot of jobs.
Cleaning my shed is like digging in archeology. As I cleaned stuff, I found artifacts from my "Camping Era"- like an old tent not used in 30 years. Then there's my Civil War Era with hat and books. I even unearthed parts of cars that were 20 years old, 30 years ago.
I'm only half finished.

Have a public archeology shed dig sale to clean out the rest. 😁
 
I live at the end of a cul de sac. When it gets windy my lot acts like a vacuum cleaner bag. Every spring I have to clean out all the stuff that blew away from my neighbors'. This was a banner year for grill covers-3. And pieces of foam insulation usually make the list. One year, I found a car rental agreement. It had all my neighbor's info- mother's name, social #, driver's license #, credit card #, etc. I went right out and bought a shredder. I get a lot of plastic lids, tops, and some kind of parts of things. Some get budding roses as a sign of spring, I get trash clean up.
 
I'm not doing all that good with my diabetic diet. My Doc said I could be somewhat freer because my labs are so good. My stomach said it's hungry and to send down food, quick. I only see my Doc a few times a year, my stomach is here 365/7, so it wins.
BTW, about the short-term rental property across the street. There are two guys who own it, and they have put in major updates, and upkeep on the place. They spent big bucks on the place, but they haven't had anyone since September- 8 months ago. I'm right in the middle of two huge water park resorts, with 'family' suites.

I have trouble sticking to my low carb plan.

Large quantities of soup, salad, and vegetables followed by small amounts of things that I enjoy is my basic solution.
 
I ordered some sneaks from Sketchers. I wanted to check on the date they would be delivered. The Sketchers site claimed not to have an order, but my credit card paid the bill. I didn't notice it then , but I never got a confirmation email. Now, the site says that if I don't see my order to click here. So, I click. But to get the order, ALL I have to do is type in the 10 digit order number, which is on the confirming email. AAAAAHHH!
I think the sneaks were due here in about a week--Hopefully, hopefully, hopefully.
 
Got my new sneaks, yesterday. It'd hard trying to find shoes that fit my delicate size 13 EXTRA EXTRA Wide feet. I was dreading some computer glitch in not getting them, when I couldn't find my order on their site.
My plant is growing fast. When I bought it, the leaves were barely peeking over the rim of the pot. My plant is about 9 inches high. Decided to change its name from Bertha to "Plant'.
Outside, it's raining. It's that kind of dreary rain when it's so dark, it looks like 2 AM.
 
Where I live in the Pocono Mountains has a history of large fires. At one time, it was known as "Blueberry Hill" because of a huge blueberry farm. But a fire wiped it out. The last large fire was about 35 years ago. My neighbor- the only one here at the time, had flames 30 feet from his home. After a severe windstorm, the forest is littered with broken limbs and fallen trees. I wonder if during a hot dry summer, it wouldn't take much to ignite all that plant fuel. As I type this, I'm hoping this isn't a prophecy

you need a man about the house
 
I use a wheelchair most of the time. And there's all these places that are "wheelchair assessable". Some have a weird idea of what that means. Like take the stairs from the parking lot to get to the ramp. DUH!!! Or the 2 inch high thresholds on doors. Or in stores with goods all crowded along aisles. The dollar stores are notorious about that. Yesterday, it happened again, I was using one of those store electric carts, and as soon as I got mathematically the furthest you can possibly get from the front door, the battery dies.

They do have battery indicators.
 
Last night the power when out for 4 hours. And the power went out a little while ago. The nuclear power plant is 30 miles from me. The main power lines are just a couple of miles from me, so I haven't had an outage in years.
It was boring as hell, sitting in the dark with a candle. I felt like an addict getting my fix of media from my phone instead of main lining from my TV.
My plant keeps on growing and growing. Now, I have to watch the channels it wants.
 
In my world, summer has officially started. For me, summer starts when I shut off the furnace and turn on the air conditioner. Usually this happens in May ,but maybe global warming has pushed up the date. It happened yesterday. My AC will be on till October.
All during winter, I'm chilled if I don't have a sweater on. I wear a sweater because otherwise I'd be spending a fortune jacking up the thermostat. So, you'd think I'd be happy as a clam in summer. Nope. I refuse to get further than 8 feet from an air conditioner. I have no idea why they make ACs with settings other than "high".
