Reset Forty-Eight, Day Seventy-Seven
May. 11th, 2023 07:46 amDopier by the day, and I'm not even sure what day it is until I check the computer calendar. I think I did some laundry Wednesday, unless I did it Tuesday, but whenever it was it got done, so one more thing out of the way for now. There have been so many naps of varying lengths of late that I have no pattern to connect any of it to, so all I can say is this must be what everyone means when they say shit happens. Shit has been happening, but who knows how or when.
Today is supposed to get up to eighty degrees, so close to horrendously hot, but not quite there. There will be the subsequent eleven days with highs in the nineties. Even the nights will only be getting down to the mid-sixties, so I'm expecting it will be air conditioner weather. In freaking May. I guess I get no respite in my spring utility bills this year. This month I was still paying for the expensive gas to run the furnace, and next month I'll be paying for expensive electricity to run the air conditioner. Buggery bloody climate change.
I actually can't remember if I ate dinner Wednesday night, but after an unintentional nap I took from around midnight until four this morning I did microwave a bowl of yakisoba noodles. More recently I buttered a bowl of popcorn, and currently I'm finishing off the last of my U-NO candy bars. I'll have to get more. Rite-Aid is the only store around here that has them, and also the only tore that has Necco wafers, hated by millions but fine with me. I need to replenish both.
Here is something I was going to post yesterday, but then found out that Grace Bumbry had died and posted one of her pieces instead. This is a piece by Jay Anderson's sextet (though it sounds like much bigger band) that was on one of the CD samplers I bought when I first got a CD player and wanted to build up a collection fast an cheaply. This sampler from jazz label DMP turned out to have some great stuff on it, and this track, "Days On End" became one of my favorites. To me it has always seemed well suited to summer, which we are about to get prematurely. It's a bit of compensation for what the heat puts me through.
