I spent a lot of the day on house and grounds work: Dusted and mopped the hard floors, washed the area rugs, and cleaned the bathroom and the kitchen sink area. I noticed that the bathroom sink is now running slowly, as the kitchen had, so sent a maintenance request to management. All that took from breakfast to 1:00, so I decided to take a break. Packed my lunch--tuna sandwich and diet Coke--and took it out to the middle. It wasn't very warm--phone said 64 degrees--but there was at least a mild sun and not much wind, so I enjoyed it.
After, I swept the patio, deadheaded the geraniums, and otherwise spruced up the outside a bit. However, it needs more and I'll get to that later. I also pulled out and discarded the sonar lights I had had in the garden. I noticed a while ago they no longer shone at night, so whatever solar thing was in them must have died. That's okay, as I've had them for several years; I may get more some day. Got a note from Ojai and will go there today.
About 4:00 pm, I decided to start this blog entry and to my absolute, I again was unable. I could see and read the blog, but no matter what I tried, I couldn't get the post part up. I should hesitate to record it, but I must have turned the air blue reacting to failure for what seemed like hours. It suddenly occurred to me to go across to the UBreakIFix. I packed up the laptop, took the mouse and my password book, piled them in my cart, and went. The young man there, Brice, was able to bring it up in about ten minutes. I love dealing with the kids in that shop. All the ones I've consulted have been unfailingly courteous, competent, and friendly. I boggles my mind that they're in the same age group as--not my son, not my grandson, but my great-grandson. Anyway, Brice said there was no charge, so I gave him a twenty--little enough.
Just felt like scrambled eggs for dinner. After, I showered and washed my hair. I was able to say up until 10:00 and slept--well, not well, but somewhat better than I had the night before. This has to do with the balance/diet routine I'm trying; will explain another day.
