...Fahrenheit.  but  Me: Sunday night the storm came in around 11:30. It was already cold, 40s I figure; but slight breeze. When the winds came howling down Hellgate canyon that all changed. The horizontal rain looked kinda white... it was. So...  No sleep Sunday night. Wanted to be done with my room by midnight, then 4, then 8... got "done" in time. They sprayed Monday morning and I had to wait until noon. But I needed to eat. Then I took a nap. Must've been about 3 when I got back. Window was open... So I closed it.  Whatever I can. Most of my books are in storage.  Went to bed last night around 8. Didn't get up till after 9... ...except for a very hot shower sometime during the night. I was cold. All gone with the deep freeze. The City left the flowers out longer this year instead of arbitrarily killing them. My geraniums need re-potting. They'll be the only blooms around. I'm looking forward to more pumpkin pie this Late Autumn (a.k.a. Early winter). I hope everyone's day is going well. Feeling much better than last week. I have lots of rearranging, putting things back where they belong. But, didn't see one bug last night, a surprise. I thought I would. I suspect I will. |
| ... as in bedbugs, not Bugs Bunny. Me:  Everything needs to be bagged to be frozen or stored or... boiled socks last night. Legs are not improving much, still swollen. Bites aren't healing either.  Bug man, Gary is scheduled for my place Monday. He was doing two other rooms today. Almost all gone. Mild but windy. In the forecast for Monday with temps below freezing for three days.News: 14:00 Notice someone has stolen paintings I put up by my door. I noisily informed my neighbors. They know I'm NOT happy. 23:45 Talking to Zach when this man came around the corner acting strangely. He grabbed Zach's hand and wouldn't let go. I yelled for help... which actually worked... Zach was shaken. Landlord has been informed. Neighbors will be too. There have been problems historically where I live. It's been mostly quiet since I moved in 6 years ago, though worse the last couple years. |
| a lot to do! Me:  Tried helping someone with a cheap place to stay for a week... we'll see. Been finding old letters sent from England and other places by wonderful friends. Boxed up most of my old VHS tapes. Chose a few to watch over the next couple months if I don't travel. Found an old Zmitri poem on a pank piece of paper: "In the gloaming (Zmitri)"  Ham and scalloped potatoes for lunch.In other Snews: there isn't much. I continue to unclutter. Actually getting something done. Boxing and putting the boxes in storage and putting clothes in bags is next. Cleaning? It'll be easier when there's less stuff strewn around. Not going to many meetings. I need to stay focused. I take breaks of course. Bernice's had coffee! And last night I needed zip-lock bags. But... not doing much. Weather has been cool and damp or cool and grey or cool. Snow on the mountaintops and flowers still blooming around town. Leaves are mostly gone with the wind. 52,453 |
ME: I've set my writing aside as I must work on my habitation. On my second cup. Should I stop? Most of my books have to be boxed and moved out for the winter. What shall I keep? I have devised a strategy...   Foiled again. Poem submission rejected. I was hoping to have more submissions sent by now...  The snow level is lowering. Not yet to the valley floor but whatever warmth is left in the North-west has abandoned us till March.In election news: a proposition that would have hampered voting in Montana got lots of support but was defeated. That was the only good news. Me? I may as well travel as my housing situation may be difficult for a couple months. Reminds me of when I lived in Costa Rica. I had time and a squeaky clean place but little access to culture and my writing. Clutter and books become me. |
| ...books ...clothes ...stuff. ME: Exterminator will be here Friday and maybe next week.  I need to get everything boxed. Away from walls. Cleaned.The landlord is being very helpful. But... it's lots of work.  Hint: books should be put in small boxes. Large boxes are okay for clothes. Voted. Drippy day. Mountaintops will be gleaming come morning. Because... |
