We have had some severe weather and there is more forecast for later tonight and into the early hours of tomorrow. Gator and I were on the couch, I was working and she was resting. There was a loud clap of thunder and we both looked at the other one as if to say what in the world was that. Afterwards there was this odd odor like something was burning. I looked outside didn’t see any smoke and went around the house, everything was okay. A few hours later it smelled musty in my living room. Compared to the smell of last week this is tame. Not desirable or enjoyable but better than what I was dealing with. Were in for a cool wave and temperatures are going to cool off for a bit.
After seeing the storm kind of makes me want to reassess my priorities and get the deck cleaned off as well as the gutters in the back. The one in the front of the house needs to be cleaned again because all my leaf blower did was blow stuff around and mostly on to the roof. It’s all coming back down. I could see the gutters were flooded today and while that site never used to bother me, ever since my brush with mold it makes me paranoid and feel uneasy. I am very eager to get the painting project started and finished before the dog days of summer are here. This weekend will be perfect painting weather.
I also found out yesterday that my GFCI outlet in the garage needs to be replaced. The AC Repair guy needed power to use a saw and my garage had nothing. The GFCI won’t reset. I don’t have any tripped breakers and I did verify with an AC detection tool that there is voltage in the outlet. Turned on YouTube and it looks like it’s just as easy to replace the outlet and my problem there should be solved. My late spouse was an electrician and I’ve got tons of tools, meters and gadgets. Some I know how to use and others I have no clue. He was brave and would work on a live circuit that’s something I won’t do.
This week I have also caught myself making stupid errors, a few I didn’t catch and they were brought to my attention. I hate that. I’m wondering if I am just over stressed or perhaps the fumes or odor of whatever it is that I have inhaled is affecting my brain.
Finished up the pizza from last week today. I made my dollar stretch into several meals and like when I can do things like that. I am uncommonly tired tonight. I had a nap early this afternoon and was fine up until a couple hours ago. It’s also a little humid in here and that doesn’t help things.
I am cutting my hair tonight, going to get my prescription tomorrow after work. I’d like to grab a bite to eat while I am out but not sure if I will give in to that considering the unexpected bill from yesterday. Bills are ready to be paid. I need to call the cable company and try to haggle on the price of my internet connection and don’t ever look forward to a negotiation phone call because I am the one who is held hostage. I also have an eye doctor appointment on Saturday but I need to call and confirm because they called earlier via a robo call and said that I need to make an appointment. I looked on-line and it doesn’t show anything scheduled so maybe my appointment fell off the books. I do have 1/2 a mind to just not do anything and either show up or skip it. However, I will call because if I drive there and they turn me away I will be livid. The appointment is first thing in the morning on Saturday and that would get in the way of whatever task I feel most motivated to preform.
There isn’t much on streaming media that is of interest to me. I did see Crown Vic a movie on Hulu it was about the police and was made several years back. Typical drama/action movie, nothing terribly special. I also saw a movie that was super crazy called Pawn Shop it had Paul Walker in it and it started off normal enough and then got strange, I finished it this afternoon. It’s about time to switch over to my DVR and see what is waiting for me.
I am just tired and bored tonight. Would be nice to have someone to talk to. I hope that my weekend is productive, restful and enjoyable. I suppose only time will tell. Talk with you all again soon.
