From A Wide Spot In The Road

No, that's not true. I don't get angry. Even if I do my anger is not directed
toward anyone else. If I get angry, my anger is directed toward myself for
even trying to communicate with someone who has no capacity to
understand. Well enough already.
 

Thinking about the last dance, where do I go with that. Where do I want to go?
I'll figure that out. And how about Smoke On The Mountain? Is that finished or
do I want to revisit that story and maybe revise and extend the plot, maje a longer story.
 
Down On The Border needs lots of work. Where do I want to take that? I don't see many possibilities.
Maybe I should chuck what I've written and start over. We Might Have Been Friends is a narrative that
will stand alone although a good story could have ben written from the idea. Silent March is finished.
It will stand alone, stand one its own two feet as it were. I like it.
 

Well, my bamboo is dying. I don't think it can ever come back. Its yellow color stands
in contrast to all the green behind it and to the side. We'll wait and see. My bird feeders
have been neglected. I wish I could maintain them but I can no longer fill or manage
them. I do notice birds still stop by to check them out. Yesterday a pair of black and
white and yellow bird stopped by. I don't know what they were other than I haven't seen
any like them around before. It will be something I miss being involved with. The neighbor's
grey and white cat is lounging in my back yard. She's a pretty thing. She hales from
Waxahache in east Texas. Don't know if she has an accent. Some of those texans do you know.
 
We had Pizza for supper tonight, one of those thin crusted six cheese pizzas
that turned into a tv pizza. You know what a tv pizza is, I’m sure. If not it is a
pizza you place in the oven and then go sit down in front of the tv to watch till
your pizza is done. You get interested in the tv program and forget the pizza
until the crust is too hard to eat and about the only thing you can do for the rest-
of it is to throw it in the trash.

I like those thin crust, Sam’s six cheese pizzas. But out of the last three we’ve had, all three have been tv pizzas. Well what the heck. I need to lose a few pounds anyway.
 
We have two more of those Sam’s six cheese pizzas in the freezer.
I’m going to see if the working gal across the street would like to
have them. She’s a single mother mother with three kids.
 
I need to sharpen a few knives around the house. We don’t need them to slice a pizza,
for that you need a hatchet, but occasionally we need a sharp knife to cut a piece of
tough meat.

I think I need someone to talk with but nobody wants to yack with an old man
and I can’t blame them, so I’ll continue to talk to my diary

Say what?

I was saying the waffles would be more entertaining than a cell phone. LOL

I'll talk to you. What do you wanna talk about?
 
I prepared a new budget this morning. I've got new expenses with us cooking less and ordering
meals in more. Also I've included the house cleaning expense in this budget since we haven't been
using house cleaning that long. I like to know where I stand as does everybody. I used to be good
at this stuff but time has fogged up the old brain and now I have to think, think, think and then
probably have forgotten something.
 
My A and Bb harmonicas are sounding good this morning. I gave my harps a good workout
last night playing along with Hugh Laurie on some New Orleans blues. I like that stuff.
 
Called my VA nurse this am about wife’s blood pressure whichwas up to 194 over 87. I
has been rising for two days. I was about to call my son to take her to the emergency
room. As it happened, our nurse was in Norman seeing patients. She stopped by,
contacted our doctor and things are in a monitoring stage now. Hopefully her BP will be
going down shortly.

it's tough to keep the books as you get older. sometimes i forget to log stuff and then my checkbook balance is amiss.
 
After taking the morning medication blood pressure dropped from 195/89 o 139/84.
We’ll check it again this evening. We both are relieved.
