Oh, Me

You know, I had a blog post all planned out for you this evening, but it looks like it's not going to happen.  I'm tired and the words just aren't coming.  I had a long day at work, during which every single order I got had something wrong with it.  From orders not having enough parts, to entire orders of adapter tubes being bent wrong, I told Group Leader Shark I was getting really flustrated.  

Yes, I did say it just like that.  

But at long last, the work day ended...and I came home and mowed.  Just the front and the side yards, though.  The back is going to have to wait until another day, because I'm all in.  I was going to mow yesterday, but I didn't feel like it.  I didn't really feel like it today, but we're supposed to be getting some heavy rains this weekend from that tropical system that's wandering around in the Gulf, so I needed to get it done. 

Then I came inside to change clothes only to discover that the cat had puked right in the middle of my bed.  Not a great thing to happen when I am without a dryer!  One nice thing about piling fifteen blankets on the bed is that at least it didn't soak all the way down to the sheets.  OK, it's only five.  Blankets, I mean.  Hey, that window unit in the bedroom does a bang up job.  I need all those blankets!  

Speaking of, did you hear about the earthquake that hit Japan this morning -- or late last night, I'm not sure which.  I found out this morning when I was getting ready for work.  Funny thing is, one of my old college buddies is in Japan right now and she was right in the middle of that quake.  She's ok, just a bit shaken up. 

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

OK, I'll stop now.  

Not only that, One of my lifelong friends' son is in Japan with his church on a mission trip.  He is OK, too.  He said it was weird.  

We didn't have an earthquake here, but the hanger at the municipal airport fell in this morning.

  It has been falling down for several years, and if I'm remembering right, it had been damaged in a storm.  I thought the city had gotten a grant to fix it up, but somehow that money ...um...got put to other uses... Yeah, let's say it like that...

I wish people in this town understood that you can't expect anything to change if you keep on voting for the same old same old. 

But let's end this on a positive note.  I've got tomatoes!

Which I need to go water before I get ready for bed.  

Laters...
