“Dust floats through the feeble beam of the flashlight: ten thousand particles, turning softly, twinkling.”
Last night it poured. I had my bedroom window open so I got to hear the raindrops. It was a tough night. I had trouble getting to sleep. It was close to five when I last checked the time. Jack was with me. I think Henry was downstairs, but when I woke up, Jack was gone. Henry had taken his place.
Today is disgustingly humid, leftover from the rain. The air is so thick I swear I can see it dripping (a slight exaggeration acceptable under the circumstances). Once in a while, the leaves are blown about then they just sit. Thunderstorms are predicted.
I didn’t get my dump sticker. I didn’t include a copy of my registration. I’m going to have to find a place that makes copies. I have until June 15th to get the sticker.
I feel out of sorts, a bit disconnected. I find myself talking to the animals and the TV. Henry waits until I finish then he wanders. Jack jumps up for pats as does Gwen when I visit. I tend to raise my voice at the TV, never the animals.
Henry wouldn’t come into the den. He had a look, one I recognize and hate, his fearful look. His tail was between his legs. When I see that, I always figure something happened, and he thinks he’ll get punished. I looked around. Henry had thrown up on the living room floor. I cleaned it up then gently told poor Henry what a good dog he is. His tail finally wagged. He is a happy dog again. I wish I could find the people who did this to him, to my sweet boy. He is on the couch now and is deep asleep.
I have declared today a cleaning free day. Let the dust abide.

Hi Kat,
Can you apply for your dump sticker online. If so you can take a picture of the registration with your phone and upload the image. Or, if you have a WiFi enabled printer you can take a picture of the document and then print it.
I also feel disconnected because of this furlough. After 30 years of going to work every day and suddenly not working has been difficult.
Clear skies and a high of 97 degrees.

Thank you! I never thought of using my phone. I’ll do that tomorrow. I’ll also drop off the envelope with my check, application and now a copy of my registration at the town hall. The last time it took less than a week.
I haven’t worked in a long time, almost 16 years, so my days are open-ended. It is being by myself which gives me that sense of disconnection.

We didn’t get especially much rain yesterday but the world is still dripping wet. A bit chilly here this morning but the sun shines between the clouds most of the time.
Nothing good on tv here so I better find myself a good book later today. The morning however has been busy with three machines with laundry and now I’m baking a bread 🙂
Have a great day!
Christer.

Hi Christer,
The sky has cleared, and the sun has shown itself, but that doesn’t change my plan of staying home and doing nothing. It is so much cooler than yesterday.
Nothing much on TV here either. I’m watching a documentary about Easy Company of Band of Brothers. I get bored easily and then go looking again for another movie. I’ve seen several but few until the end. I’m thinking of going upstairs to lie in bed and read. I have no energy today, but I don’t think it matters!
