“Find ecstasy in life; the mere sense of living is joy enough.”
Today is another warm, sunny day. I have to go out again in a bit, but I’m not complaining. The traffic on the side roads was light yesterday. It took me only fifteen or so minutes to get to Hyannis, and I never waited more than a single light cycle.
I was on the deck with Henry for a little while, but he got bored and went back inside through the dog door. He has used the door to come inside twice already today, but this afternoon, he’ll revert and look through the door for me to come and open it. He drives me crazy with that door.
The white lights on the deck rail died so I had to order some. Meanwhile, at night, Henry would not go out on the dark deck until I turned on the back door light. Seriously, he wouldn’t go out. He’d just stand there looking at me. But as soon as I’d turn on the light, out he’d go. Last night, the new lights were lit so Henry was out the dog door. I had to let him in.
The cleaning schedule for today is vacuuming downstairs. I just saw a dust ball which could wreak havoc on Earth should it get loose.
I did have a few sloth days in a row. I just couldn’t bring myself to do anything. Staying inside was taking its toll. That’s when I forced myself to make lists again. I figured I needed a purpose. Yesterday I had a list of places I needed to go. I finished four out of the five.
The cats have been with me nearly a year. Henry has been with me 2 years. Gwen wanders around up stairs and often comes down a few stairs to meow at me. Every night she waits for my final visit. I pat her, and she is a purring machine. The two cats get treats then I fill the dishes and clean the litter. I noticed I need to vacuum the littered floor again. Walking on it gives me a beach vibe.

Hi Kat,
Wow! How fast the time flies when you’re having fun and getting old. When I was a kid summer break seemed to crawl slower than molasses. 🙂
Here the traffic is picking up along with gas prices as Texas slowly is resuming normal economic activity. Unfortunately, many drivers have forgotten how to drive during the stay home order and have become extremely rude. We’ve been cut off frequently and as they roared around us they gave us the famous middle finger of fate. 🙁
The terrible rioting that has accompanied the peaceful protests of the police murder of George Floyd by right wing white supremacist groups is terrible. Trump of course blames Obama, left wing groups, or the tooth fairy. He gives license to the police and right wing nut cases to take the law into their own hands through his Tweets and decisive rhetoric. 🙁 It’s sad that our great experiment in democracy might be wrecked by one narcissistic bully whom we elected to the highest office in the land. Let’s make sure he becomes a one term President.
Today was clear again with a high of 95 degrees.

Hi Bob,
The only time summers used to crawl for me was toward the end. I had done everything and was getting bored. Even if it was school, it was a welcome change of routine for me.
Only the main roads are busy. The parking lots at grocery stores are filled more than any other spots. I was happy just to get out for a little while today. I meandered home.
I can’t watch him or even hear his voice any more. He continues his attacks on people who don’t support him. Blue states get far less money and far fewer government projects. He exalts in nastiness. I have to believe we will survive. I too hope he is a one term president.

Some errands today at rush hour and I didn’t like it. The ugly smell of dirty fossil fuel cars is back which is annoying on the bike. Bye-bye clean air, it was nice while it lasted. At least we finally got a little bit of much needed rain. Back to dry and sunny weather on Saturday.
I hope you caught the dust ball, we don’t need even more havoc on earth 😉

Birgit,
It was hot today. It will rain tomorrow night into Saturday then it will get cooler. We are still not fully open here, actually, hardly opened at all. I’m okay. I was out the last two days.
The dust ball is a notch on my apron!
