Shopping

Thursday was payday and a major shopping day. Pretty well spend all Empath’s money in one day, lol. The car is fixed and sounds quieter, so good news. We hit Wal-mart to pick up a seam ripper and price those Thermacare heat patches. I didn’t know they were a one-shot deal! While we were passing [...]

A family of retards

The day did not start out well.
The BIL tells Empath he’ll need to buy new pipe for the exhaust on the car. Only that can be done tomorrow (Sunday), presumably after BIL has taken Empath on some freaky furniture moving journey to God knows where. This happened about 10a, so you’d think there would be [...]

Kick the pain

Yesterday, my right heel began to hurt something fierce. I don’t recall doing anything to it, like whacking it against a chair or twisting my ankle. Last night the heel pain spread up the back of my calf and the area from knee to heel and entire foot went numb for around an hour or [...]

Into the maddening crowd

It was my bright idea to attend the Regatta today. I’d never been in 9 years of living here. It was as bad as expected – too many sheeple wandering loose or just following the guy in front of them. The day was unusually hot and muggy (25C with heat index at 30C and little [...]
