My outside tasks are done! I woke up at 7a when it was cool outside. Had some pastry, Banana and a Diet Coke for breakfast. Fed the cats. Loaded up with sunscreen and mosquito spray, threw on some clothes and my work shoes. Grabbed the Armor Away or whatever it’s called. House wash in a bottle. I got it just before the pandemic hit it was a 2 for 1 special on Amazon.
Hooked up the hose and started spraying away. I think that it must have gone bad just from sitting, either that or the gable vent I was trying to clean is just that dirty. I had one a couple years ago it looked horrible and this stuff made it bright white in 10 minutes. Not so this time, I got off some of the dirt.
I grew unhappy with the way it was rinsing and just decided to call it a day and put that junk away. Grabbed the power washer and I rinsed it all off. Wound up doing the side walk, a bunch of landscaping bricks that had green mold growing on them and then made my way to the deck. Got the green mold off of it and washed the back of the house, the deck part and then what is the master bedroom, which also had green mold growing on it, light but nevertheless it was there. I have no idea how much water I used but I started probably at 7:45a and I didn’t come back inside until 11:30a. It was kind of fun but it was also back breaking.
I was in limp mode by the time I got everything cleaned up and put away. I am quite proud of my accomplishment. If I had the gas left in me I would have done the other side of the house, it faces the street. The siding looks clean but the gutters have dirt and some green mold growing on them. I suppose that is a job for another day.
I got undressed in the garage, came inside and grabbed a Gatorade. Sat on the couch and watched some fireworks on YouTube. I was sweating to beat the band. I had caught my breath and was somewhat rested but still felt the ache in my back. I made my way to the shower and that felt good. Then I dried off and climbed in bed.
Rudy was by myside and wouldn’t leave me. He knew I was hurting and could use the company. I rolled over and he snuggled up next to my back. Eventually after about an hour I woke up and he was right there to greet me and make biscuits just as if it was morning all over again.
Passed out lunch for the cats, I ate more pastry and some left over cake. Washed it all down with a Diet Coke and then got on my laptop. I scoured menu after menu trying to find a decent place to eat at. Wound up at a local pizza place. Had some spaghetti & meatballs with garlic bread and a salad – washed that all down with a Diet Dr. Pepper and it was $22. I left full.
Then went for a ride to check on the neighbors new house. There is a for sale sign in the yard so maybe they aren’t going to move in after all and they are going to sell it. It’s coming along pretty nice. I think by this time next month it should be fully done presuming that it’s being worked on every day. I’ll probably make another trip out because I am just that damn nosy.
Stopped in for a car wash and got to look at a good looking 20ish year old guy who had a fine looking ass. I’m telling you that I am officially at the desperate point. I want a companion but want him to be good looking kind of beauty and brains. Hopefully my search will end this year because this is old and well so am I. My age is against me for sure, especially if I want a younger guy say in his 30’s, I’d go 20’s but fear that I wouldn’t be able to hold a conversation that long and we wouldn’t have a whole lot in common. Outside of the companion part I need to have some damn good sex, kind of tired of watching porn and seeing other guys have a good time. Yeah things can always be worse but this is one hell of a problem that seems insurmountable. I’ve done a damn good job solving all of my other problems but this one well not so much.
On a different note, I went to the BBQ place and ordered the catfish last night. It was not that good. However, a woman walked in and from a distance she looked like my mom. As you got closer I could tell that it wasn’t her but damn if I didn’t know that she was dead I would have sworn that it was my mom. That was kind of odd to me. I almost bought her meal and struck up a conversation but wouldn’t you know it I got a work call that I had to head home and deal with. I thought about taking her picture and sending it to my brother but figured that wouldn’t fair well so I just left it alone.
I’m sure I will continue to be sore for a few days but it still feels damn good to have made progress. I could have easily wasted the day by rotting in bed.
Tomorrow is the usual breakfast and grocery stores. If I feel up to it I’ll be stopping at two grocery stores, kind of hope that I do because that will mean more food for me.
Hope you have a fantastic Saturday. Take care!
