Pretty Much An SSDD Sunday

Posted on by

Just not a lot going on. And, I admit, I kinda, sorta, got caught up in a Doctor Who (Season 04) marathon for most of the day. Just felt like it.

I Miss River Song

Did get my regular chores & (most of the) laundry done. Sun came out and me and the Dog went for a tour of the back 40. Moved my other two antenna’s from one side of the house to the other and go those hooked up to the radio and the tuner.

Made dinner (Chicken Enchilada’s and steamed cauliflower) for the Missionary’s. They seemed to enjoy it. More importantly, SWMBO seemed to enjoy it. Wasn’t much to send home with them but they got to take it anyway.

Now I’m just kinda, sorta, waiting around until time for the MCARC 2-meter Sunday Evening Chat Net. (The highly informal version.) Dishes are getting washed and the last load of laundry is in the dryer.

Well, the Net went well. Only 5 check-ins but it’s the last weekend shopping day before Christmas so I was kind of half way expecting a light turnout. But it went good.

Nother Really Wet Day Out. Stayed In.

Yesterday. What the hell did I do yesterday? Oh, yeah. Went to Home Depot and spent too much money on 2X4’s, a LED Light, and paint. Would have bought the counter tops but I’m just not quite ready for them. Anywho, by the time I quit working in my room yesterday, and all the other stuff I do, I was too  tired when it came time to go to bed to post.

Today I had to make a run to Walmart, where I spent too much money, to get SWMBO a Queen sized, White, Flat sheet. They’s spendy. And I bought a thing to hold my phone in the truck. Just been doing my regular stuff and taping off stuff in my room getting it ready to paint. Probably tomorrow or Thursday.

Of course, that kinda sorta depends on if we still have power or not; what with the storm that’s supposed to be moving in. Supposed to be lots of wind. And rain, of course. Wouldn’t be a WaRshington storm without rain.

Went out and loosened my new antenna in case it does get real windy. Back yard is already pretty much flooded. Real squishy walking out there.

MCARC 10-meter Tuesday Evening Chat Net went well. Heard everyone but KC7WNJ; whom I never hear.

Ah, Yes. Sunday.

Which means, other than if being a totally SSDD type of day, that I have to count out my medication to that little “weekly” box so I don’t forget to take the damned things. You know you’re getting old when you have to sort your meds by day and put them in a little box with the day written on them, so you don’t forget to take something that may KEEP YOU ALIVE if you take them on time. And my memory is shot.

Not to mention that I’m old enough, and in such a condition, that I have so many meds to take anyway. Cholesterol med, weak aspirin, BP Meds (which may or may not be working), and that med that makes my heart beat regular. That’s quite enough for me, thank you. At least I’m not taking 8-15 pills daily like some of my friends and family. Guess I have that to look forward to.

Not much going on. Regular SSDD Sunday. We had our left-overs from El Sombrero for dinner tonight so neither of us had to actually cook. I’m still getting my usual Sunday chores done but shouldn’t be at that too much longer. MCARC 2-meter Chat Net coming up in a couple of hours.

Dang. We’re under another Flood Watch from Monday evening through Tuesday. Looks like it’s going to rain all week. Bummer.

Net went well. Not as many check-ins as last week but still respectable. And that’s pretty much it for tonight. I lead a boring life. Really.

Kind Of Feeling My Age

Posted on by

Read a piece online about a Mother that was arrested for letting her 10 year old kid go to the park, a block away, by herself. ??? When I was 10, we lived in South El Monte, Calif. During the summer Mom would get us up early, feed us breakfast (if we were lucky), and kick our asses out until dark. A lot of times we’d head off to what we knew as “Garvey Park” over in Monterey. About 5 miles or so. It was nothing back then to let your kids wander miles away and not really worry about them. Except for maybe what trouble they’d cause! Hell, I used to hop on a bus and go to actual downtown Los Angeles, out to Seal Beach, the Pacific Palisades Park (?? Not sure of the name. Amusement park on a pier), the La Brea Tar Pits, or Griffiths Park.

Different times, I guess.

Not much going on. Pretty normal Saturday until SWMBO showed up at 1500 for our date. She took me to El Sombrero (YUMMY!) for early dinner and Home Depot to tell me how much I can spend to finish off my room and get back in it. Oh, short stop by Jo Ann’s. It doesn’t matter to me where we go, or where we stop, as long as we’re spending time together.

And that’s it for this Saturday.
