8.25.22

 Its raining.  It seems to never stop, every day for the last 2 months.

It does not flood here, occassionally a low road will flood, but it rains all the time, everything is wet.  I did those unfinished repairs at the office, rotten wood and deck at home and i am glad despite not finishing them.  I am ready to paint half the office and wish i had done that, although i am not sure the time was there, but the caulking was done, the roof repairs were done, it would be a royal mess if not and what remains is the back which is pretty bad and the side where the one spot that needs to be fixed is pretty easy to do, it just requires a week of dry weather so it can be caulked and then painted.

The deck at the office needs the same, but it is started and that may help keep it from getting worse too quickly.

The claims are due at this time and I have not started them.  Technically I have 12 days.  I will carry them with me, they are printed out, so i can work on them.  I have to carry them to chemistry and electronics in particular, right now i think they are the same claims.  How much of the newest stuff can be incorporated remains to be seen, what did i cover but could not see?

The doctor at 9:30.  The beginning of treatment for the hernia, i hope, a conversation about those worn parts, the various tests that need to be set up.

I am drinking 2 day old coffee, it is pretty good.  The cats and dog are fed, the dog put out to scare off the coyotes, i looked around and saw nothing.  I miss you, but i am not scared about the doctor thing.  I have been exposed to covid a million times and that would be more immediate, it seems to be all around right now, ricky has it, someone i was with last sunday has it, everyone has it still.  The cdc merely gave up on it.

It is later, almost 630, a greenish light outside, not dark, but not light either as the sunlight barely penetrates the rain clouds. The forecast says it will stop soon and perhaps it will not come again till much later or tomorrow, but it will take 5 days for it to dry off enough to do the type of repairs that need to be finished, but i have done quite a bit.

Saw my friend in the hospital today and was able to walk from there to Dr appointment. Everything was marginally OK,  next month will see a specialist about hernia which is small enough to ignore. No immediate signs of my Demise, sorry. Getting ready to go to gym, left small amount of blood for tests. 

I'm tired. 

A roach was on me last night, perhaps looking for a dry place to sleep, sensing that I was already dead inside and previewing a meal, or perhaps giving me a kiss.  At least you know i am alive or is  that torture too?

I am ready to build a fusion reactor.  i am not sure that I am ready to build one that works.  it comes with different calls, some of them appearing to carry me so i can see the shoreline with its palms and promise of temporary respite, but then the troughs come, not yet they say, but maybe soon.

Happy dia de los muertos btw.

Its stopped raining for a while, i was able to vacuum the pool although its going to take a lot more to get that back where it needs to be.  That was after exercising for 50 minutes and the pool brushing after the vacuuming was probably good upper body afer 30 min on the stairs and 20 on the elimptical.  

I will pick this up tomorrow i suppose, some good things happened, and there is one answwer i think will be negative, but didnt have the energy to check today.  tomorrow will be soon enough.
