Odds and Ends…
A semi-productive weekend. Too bad The Cleveland Browns can’t win two in a row. But The Ohio State Buckeyes managed to squeak out a win.
I mowed the front yard, raked the back and vacuumed out the car. Fracking trees are still filled with leaves. So unless it’s raining next weekend, I get to rake more leaves. Or seeing how I got most of the debris raked in the backyard, may just mow front and backyards. Leaf blowers are so damned loud.
Need to see a doctor soon. My blood pressure is a bit high and I need to check out a few things that are concerning me. So in a week or two I should know Just in time for the food fests I need to drop a few pounds. Sigh… Who said growing older was fun???
Watching The Patriot on BBC America and the irony is not escaping me…
Less than three weeks until the political ads ends. Wishing the money they were spending was put to better use than making the television stations richer. Because the less than of what’s watchable isn’t worth watching.
The next two Thursdays I get the honor of working in the freezer. And then the Holiday Madness I call Christmas Season begins. Strange imported items that are over priced get shipped to my warehouse and it’s up to us ware house workers to sort and figure out what goes to whom. And due to the holiday week of Thanksgiving, I get to work five days the week before. And I get paid on Thanksgiving. Am counting my blessings I have direct deposit for my paycheck. No heading to work on a Friday after Thanksgiving to get my paycheck. Or maybe like they did one year, we get paid the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Going to ask person in charge of payroll sometime soon about that.
Saw a video of Jackson Browne preforming Take It Easy with Bruce Hornsby: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=Fo0UVxAbz9U#t=1s
So, have a safe week out there and maybe it won’t be as cold at night… Am so over raking leaves.

It’s been hot here and the grass is still green. I am looking forward to cooler days.
I don’t envy you being in a swing State. I would be ready to pull my hair out by now. No wonder your blood pressure is up.
I’m really looking forward to the end of ads, phone calls & heated arguments.
I hear that massage & reflexology are great for lowering blood pressure.
@wickedgood - Thursday I know I’m going to be on medication. How much and how strong depends how bad the damage is. It’s a good thing they don’t call cell phones, yet. Next election who knows. That and working nights and a mute button on the answering machine…
You’re always so kind about recommending and commenting my posts, I thought it was about time I popped over and checked out your site. Sorry I’m so slow!! I’ve never been to Ohio. That seems odd, considering all the driving I do, as it’s in the middle of the country. HA.
@ordinarybutloud - I almost always recommend the post I read even if I don’t leave a comment. Hey life happens when you make other plans. Well, this coming week you may want to stay in your neck of the woods if this “super storm” happens. Weather people trying to justify their paychecks…Glad you’re checking my site out. Many thanks…
