Well, you've read the notes, the notes were in their entirety, and now it is time for you to post until the entirety of the cows come home.

And the word of the day is: OROTUND!

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #2 on:** September 10, 2023, 02:11:05 AM »

It is now 5:02 a.m. (EDT).

Yoicks!.

I am medicated once again for the start of a new day.

I am still a bit sleepy and "may" find myself back into bed. I would have gone already, but the bed was too warm for my comfort. That is an almost orotund thing to say given my love for a warm bed.

Dreams abounded, but this time I was something I have never had the slightest interest in becoming, nor have I been exposed in any real way to the prospect of being engaged in -- and that is asbestos removal.

Yes, you read it accurately: All my dreams were about me learning how to detect and supervise the removal of asbestos from usable buildings. Happily, it did not involve me learning any useful techniques on doing it....it was simply my character's occupation. I was, apparently, in character the whole night.

There were others in the dream...ones who drifted away on asbestos projects that may have been of interest to me, but I was left behind to deal with different projects. Later, others would reappear and we would work together. There wasn't anything remotely romantic (not at MY age), but there is always pleasure in working with kindred spirits.

I find it incredibly odd that I am having such lucid, odd dreams. But there they are.

I do fully understand the dreams are directly related to the drugs I am taking for the viral and sinus infections. I can happily report that my breathing is improving daily.

As for my left ear -- there is some progress, I think. When I am listening to TV or something audio on on the computer, I get indications in my left ear that what I hear clearly in my right ear seems to be echoing out my left ear in little bursts. If I had a tuner, I could likely get it right. So my head seems to be trying to auto-tune my left ear.

Today is Sunday in Johnston, SC.

Today is Zoom Chat day with the small gang that has been at it since May of 2020. Our lot are diverse, with two from Britain (Milton Keynes and London), two of us (sometimes three) from eastern time (Johnston and Indianapolis and sometimes Fredericksburg, VA), one from central time (Chicago), two from the west coast (L.A.), and one in Pakistan (Karachi).

I have finished a very tasty blueberry muffin, which helps me adjust to the meds, and am finishing a very nice, hot cup of coffee.

I am cogent, but a bit more sleep likely won't hurt anything.

My bed should be ready for me. I have a mattress warmer which I use year-round. My side is always at the lowest setting and is usually unnoticeable, although it helps me as my body temperature drops during the night.

I have the other side of the bed set a bit warmer so that I can throw a leg over in case I need a bit more warmth on it.

I do this because I enjoy sleeping in slightly cooler temps than I need during the day, so I lower the thermometer prior to bed time.

Lately, the meds seem to elevate my body temperature shortly after I take my first doses, so I am up...and up to no good, as you can read.

Laters....

When I opened my computer, the mouse was stuck in the upper left corner. After rebooting it three times, I got my Macbook, googled the info I needed, and replaced the cordless mouse with a corded one. So I lost a damned hour this morning and I am not happy about it.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #11 on:** September 10, 2023, 05:11:24 AM »

I have much to do today including dealing with a floor coverecwith soggy towels. The damned maintenance company has not responded to my request for someone ro come in and tilt the AC toward the streets and my poor neighbor below me has a ceiling that's falling in because of the water. I am not happy in the leaqst.

In spite of a night with much noise from these horrible thunderstorms, I got pretty much all the sleep I probably deserved. But it wasn't my friend, either, and I could sure use another hour or two.

Two days in a row of abominable storms, and we're probably in for a third today, with no letup in this run of extreme humidity.

And of course this is the day I drive back to JFK to pick up the housemates from their week in the Arizona desert. I'll leave super early so I'm not rushed one whit. Not a whit. Not one single whit.

I dreamt I was having a long conversation with my former, former former boss, (who I liked very much and who taught me so much) about the ins and outs of buying real estate in Florida.

We’ve had no rain here, Chas. Hope the trend continues because I’ve no wish to traipse through puddles and raindrops today

I have shopped in a Whole Foods exactly once. Several years ago - or probably a decade or longer, I don't really remember - our town got its first ever Whole Foods. At some point I finally went in to have a look around, and they certainly do make it all look very appealing. But the prices, even on certain dry foods that can be found elsewhere, very obviously sported that famous Whole Foods markup. In the end, I believe I walked out with only two things. In the takeout line they had a fresh salsa that had looked really good, so, with hope in my heart, I took a small container of that home. And I bought one other thing -- was it chips? -- I honestly don't remember -- and they were BOTH disappointing. The salsa couldn't hold a candle to that found in any average Mexican restaurant, and whatever the other thing was likewise failed to float my boat. A decade or whatever later, I have never gone back.

These storms are weird. They've been relatively small "cells" scattered all over the place, so even though the northeast in general is getting it, if you're not in one of those spots, you don't. The one that passed over us last night at one in the morning was one of the loudest, most intense thunderstorms (with lightning to match) I have ever known.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #25 on:** September 10, 2023, 05:47:15 AM »

Anyhoo, salsa is one of the trickiest things to buy. I try every one out there, always in hopes of finding those wonderful flavors you get in so many Mexican places, and they almost always disappoint. They go too far or not far enough in their mix, almost every time. I'm simply going to have to try coming up with my own blend at home and settle on whatever comes close, and just always have it around.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #26 on:** September 10, 2023, 05:56:24 AM »

I did, on the spur of the moment yesterday, throw together a key lime pie which has chilled in the fridge overnight. They are SO delicious, and SO easy to prepare. I confess to cheating by using a store-bought pie crust, but I'll plan on making my own next time.

Hmm. I wonder if Facebook is having one of its li'l downtimes. I just posted a comment to something which vanished as soon as I hit 'enter', and I can't navigate to any other page than my own feed.

No big whoop, I'll wait and check later.

It's working again, but that post is nowhere, man. Gone with the wind. It's history, baby.

I've called our apartment management to once again request AC assistance. Then I crawled around the floor and picked up all the soaking towels. I draped them over the windowsill and radiator to dry. Then, I stuck the least wet towel under the AC and turned it on.
