Hey There!
It's 8:20 AM EST, ☁️ Overcast, 40°F, Humidity 78%, Wind 18 mph NW
No snow yet. Only a cold rain and drizzle yesterday and probably today. These are the type of days I reall despise, with cold rain, grey skies, and chilly temperatures. Ugly.
Yesterday was not a difficult day, but the situation with DW's sister has cast a pall over everything. She is her own worst enemy, and there's little we can do until she starts to cooperate. DW was supposed to go have coffee with a friend, but the low tire pressure light on the car came on, so she came back home. I had showered and was bringing my laundry down when I saw her. I went out and put air in the tires. A woman who was walking her dog stopped and asked me about my air pressure pump. She took a picture so she could buy one for herself.
DW and I straightened out the situation with our insurance cards for the car. I think the insurance company has not cashed her check, but the web site shows payment. I ordered more insurance cards for the cars. The I paid a small hospital bill for the remainder of my recent colonscopy. Then I was finally able to set a date for my last interview. It will be right against my deadline. Not ideal, but better than nothing. I did a little bit of research in advance of this interview while I was at it.
Lunch came around, which was a bowl of Progresso Beef soup, and then I decided to brave the weather and go for a walk anyway. I stayed in the neighborhood rather than go to the park. I am keeping the walks short so as not to wear myself out. Maybe in the winter short walks but more frequent will work.
I once again resisted taking a nap in the afternoon. I had a long chat with Son2 about the business. He sees money far more differently than I do. I also checked out the baseball news as well as checking in to my domain service. I re-directed my name to my new blog site. Next week I will make the final changes.
Dinner was a sausage casserole mixed with quinoa. DW is deep into Thanksgiving meal planning, another bit of stress. She is getting heavy into nesting, with cleaning and menu planning. She does this every year, and it's a lot of work. I wonder when she won't be able to do it anymore.
In the evening I passed the time with checking out a couple of movies. I was watching Apache Rifles with Audie Murphy until DW came over and we watched The Rings of Power on Amazon Prime. I hate the commercial breaks, so we might have to subscribe to the Ultra level for a month to watch ad-free. The episode felt ponderous and heavy, but we will stick with it a little more. The characters came back OK.
After the episode, DW went up to bed, while I cleaned the kitchen. I had about an hour after that to kill, so I watched ZATOICHI - The Blind Swordsman, which appears to be a 1970s Japanese action show about a blind swordsman wandering in Japan righting wrongs and killing bad guys. It was interesting. The episode ended, and I went to bed about 11:05 or so.
That's all for now. 'Til We Meet Again!
