The Other TP

My friend and I were texting on WhatsApp and we stumbled across the topic of people buying up all the TP in stores. While the conversation was going on, I switched over to Chrome, did an image search, and make the two memes below and sent them to her.

I think they’re hilarious, but then, I’m easily amused.

Should be an interesting week at work, seems like the planet is shutting down.

Stay safe!

On Corona Virus, By Me

Overall, I think the world is majorly over reacting. My wife went to the store yesteray and there was no toilet paper. I thought people buying all the toilet paper was a joke on Facebook. Also gone was bleach and sanitization products.

The picture below is a few weeks old, But it illustrates that lots of everyday things are worse. China is now saying the peak has passed.

I personally wouldn’t mind a couple weeks quarintined in my house. It would be like a much needed vacation. I know one person (in Miami) who said he had it and got over it. He said it was like a cold.

That being said, it’s good so many people are more conscious about washing their hands, but any people wonder wonder how long 20 seconds is. Well, I’ve found the following method to be perfect. You already know the words in the video below, if you recite them (in a very loud voice) while washing your hands, it’ll be about perfectly timed. If you want to be extra safe, you can hum the tune (loudly) afterwards.

Have a good Friday the 13thm and a good weekend!

Two More Teefs

Yesterday I went to the dentist and he added two teeth to my head,One crown and a second implant. I now have a full set. My quest for dental health is complete. I’m just a regular guy, no cavities, getting regular checkups every six months

For the record, that is not me in the picture above, it was found on the internet.

Almost Friday! Havva goodun!

Crabby Cry Baby

I feel grumpy this morning. My alarm went off with a weird screen and I had a hard time turning it off. The first words out of my mouth this morning were “What the fuck?” (looking at that beeping abnormal screen) and that’s not how I like to start my day.

I don’t wanna go to work.

We’re having company tonight, I’ve gotta picke them up and take them back to their hotel. That means I can’t ride my scooter and won’t make it to bed till way after bedtime.

Having a hard time getting the builder restarted. I finally got the electrical drawings approved, now gotta start workin’ on the plumber.

I’m just not really looking forward to today. Doesn’t look like it’s going to be my kind of day.

Wasted Hour

I run my day pretty much on a tight time schedule.

I’ve discovered an unccontrollable variable that leaves me some newly discovered free time.

I get off work, go home and feed the cats and walk the dogs. Then I wait for my wife to get home. Usually it’s about 45 minutes but often it’s an hour or two.

I could find something really good to do with this time, but what??

Last night Ihad a dream about my father. I was with my Mom and Sister, in Ohio, I think. Somewhere country residential. We were going inside a house when I looked over and saw my Dad. I think I woke up right then, it was 1:14 AM, but the dream continued. I said (to my Mom and Sister) “There’s Dad, do you see him?” I looked over and could tell by their faces they couldn’t. I looked back and he was motioning me to come over. I ran over and said “Dad, I’m sorry I was such a terrible son, I’m going to do everything I can to make the things you’ve done last” (Or something like that). Then we hugged and it felt sooo real. Then I was back in my room. Like I already said, I woke up the instant I saw him, so I got up, went outside, looked at the sky and said out loud “Dad, I’m sorry I was such a crappy son.” Then I went back to bed and it seems like half a second later the alarm went off. And now I’m back on my precise schedule. But the dream was so real, incredible. My Dad was in a good mood, very happy. I feel different this morning because of it. Hope the feeling lasts.

That’s why I have this blog, I think, to write stuff like this down. I’m happy sharing it with you.

Have a great day!

Crazy Child

It was cloudy and cold all weekend, just like last weekend. It’s raining right now, this instant, hammering against the windows. I wore a raincoat for our dog walk this morning, but didn’t get it wet. This feels like an exact repeat of what I wrote last Monday.

I had an interesting occurance Friday afternoon. A receptionist from a place I go sometimes lives at some apartments down the road. I went to the her office last week and didn’t see her at work. Then I started thinking that I hadn’t seen her car in a while either, maybe she moved.

The she pulled up in her car and and got out. I said hi, I wasn’t even sure of her name. This Sideshow Bob haired little guy got out of another car and said “That’s my wife”, and why am I “harassing her all the time”.

I almoust laughed, but didn’t. I said I wasn’t harassing her, didn’t even know her name, it was exactly the third time I’d ever talked to her, and I know her from her workplace. Later, I wish I had started off with “Sorry I made you so uncomfortable”, but I can never think of anything good to say till after-the-fact.

This guy asks if it was my wife who drives the little car and I said yes. He said he sees her around but doesn’t say anything to her.

The whole time, the receptionist is standing 20 feet behind him, clearly embarassed, shaking her head no apologtically.

So the conversation with the Sideshow Bob haired dude ended, I continued walking the dogs up and down the street smoking a cigar, I could hear them fighting inside on my next pass.

So I was related the story to my wife and she knew the guy instantly. He had approached her in town, said he knew her, said they were neighbors. Then he told my wife how beautiful she was and was hitting on her pretty hard.

Then it started to make sense. This guy, like a thief who, because he’s a thief, thinks everybody is trying to steal from him. He thinks that, because he’s trying to pick up other women besides his wife, everyone is trying to pick up on his wife too.

My first wife was like that. If some girl said hi to me in the store, I was automatically having an affair with her had to somehow prove I wasn’t. I spent my time hoping we didn’t see anyone I knew, lest they say something or exhibit some behavior I would be unable to explain.

It’s psyhological abuse. And I feel sorry for my receptionist neighbor. I’m probably old enough to be her grandfather, literally. I didn’t know her name, or that she was married, nothing about her except what she drove and she lived in those apartments.

She’s living with a crazy child of a husband, I hope she’s not a prisoner.

Dawg Loop

This morning, for the second time ever, I took the dogs all the way around “the loop”. There’s a lot of dogs along the last 2/3rds, but today none of them caused a problem. At one point there was a stout dog that looked like a pit bull trotting aggressively down the center of the street towards us, but then he swerved off and ran into somebodies yard. The loudest and most aggressive was (sounding) was this little yippee dawg behind a fence.

The weekend’s here There’s another cold front moving through Saturday though. We’ll see if it ruins the weekend..

Ha va goodun!

Minor Disaster

See the “box” on the back of my scooter? Well, I had a bottle of suntan oil lose its lid in there. I didn’t think it was that bad. I wiped up what I could. But I went to the beach yesterday, and boyoboy, whatta mess.

Yesterday afternoon I had to remove the box, clean it and everything in it in our kitchen sink and wash my mask, fins and snorkel with dishwashing equipment. My towel and hat had to run through the laundry. My motorcycle registration and papers got soaked in oil, and have to be replace. The oil penetrated two plastic bags to get to the papers.

Much worse of a mess than I originally thought.

The dogs weren’t very cooperative this morning, and as a consequence, had a short walk instead of our normal long one, and I went back out for a swim. It was super nice.

And it’s almost Friday!

Hacking My Account

Yesterday, in the space of a half hour, I received about 5 verification texts from Google and one phone call from a robot. I guess somebody was trying to hack my account for a while yesterday.

I went to the dentist yesterday, the electrician from my still ongoing construction project called while I was in the chair. Couldn’t take the call. Then, a few minutes later, I was trying to enter the date for my next appointment on my phone calendar, he called 5 times in a minute, interfereing with my ability to type. His call popped up, I hit “Decline” it popped up again. Very very VERY annoying.

So I called him back in the parking lot, letting him know how pissed I was. He says the inspector is coming at 12:30, he (the electrician) needs me to go buy some wire, needs me to go there so he can re-wire a circuit, replace the smoke detectors and a whole buncha stuff he’s had three months to do.

I knew the new drawings weren’t approved. But I went anyway. I already had the wire and smoke detectors and everything.

Long story short, the inspector was inspecting another house. My plans weren’t done yet, and the whole thing, the harassment, everything was a waste of time.

But the Inspector said the wiring was good, and when he gets the plans, he can just stamp them approved, and won’t have to come out to the house again.

This electician has personally caused the job to take triple the time necessary. It was basically done Friday the 13th of December (started 3rd week of October).

And it’s time for me to go to work. This is a much longer post than Iintended, with half the details I wanted to include.
