Around the Block

I drove around the block today. By “the block” I actually mean about 25% of the city, but it’s kinda a block if you squint a little.

Lots of construction downtown. New sidewalks, maybe?

It’s another gorgeous day out there. A really good day for a half day from work, a doctor’s appointment, a haircut, and an inspection sticker for the Mazda. Also a drive around the block.

Visits

The last time I was here was May 1, 2021 and I think it was the first business I went to post-vaccine.

The last time I was here was March 14, 2020 and it was one of, if not the, last business I visited before locking down completely for the pandemic.

Haircut: complete. State auto inspection: in progress.

Noisy Birds

The weather is spectacular today. Clear, sunny, mild temps in the mid-70’s. Perfect. Everything you want from June in New England.

I have the windows open and the AC off so it should be super quiet. It’s not though. The birds, man. The birds are being crazy loud. It’s like Bird Coachella or something. It feels like any minute now Roger McGuinn and David Crosby are going to tear into Eight Miles High*.

*Get it??? Noisy birds??? The Byrds??? Get it???

I Think She Likes Me

I mentioned in passing that I had a craving for some M&Ms. Next thing I know there’s a bag of M&Ms in the pantry.

I think my wife might like me. I think she really likes me.

I’m crazy about her. Like, off the wall batty over her.

Get Rid of This

Hopefully the end result of the current hospital stay will include getting rid of this thing.

I mean the hospital bed, not the walker. I think the walker is here to stay, even if it’s just as an insurance option.
