52/288: Small
Mar. 27th, 2026 08:14 pmShopping was done, and there was a decent (for these days) dinner from Safeway's deli, and though it couldn't compare to the same dinner as they made it twenty years ago, and that diner never compared to the stuff I used to get in Los Angeles forty years ago, I have learned to be content with small (incredibly small) favors. On other words, I'm full and not puking, so win!
The sad thing is that my nephew was unable to get the light I use in here fixed. It's the ceiling fixture over the table the computer sits on, and I thought the bulb was out, but the new one didn't work, so the old one was tested in another fixture and it worked there, so it's the damned fixture that's broken, which means dealing with the landlord and an electrician, so disruption to my routine, such as it is.
And when testing the circuits, my nephew turned off the circuit the computer was on, and I didn't notice until later, and then had the devil's own time getting the machine functioning again. An old fashioned computer crash, just like Sluggo used to do, except this time there was an understandable cause for it. Still, I had a bit of nostalgia for the days of awful technology on my desk and better deli from Safeway on my tongue.
Whatever is going on with my sinuses, and the weirdness in my right ear, are still plaguing me, and I now suspect they might be semi-permanent conditions, though I do hold out a (probably vain) hope that they have been brought on my the seasonal pollen and will soon depart. We get two more warm days, then scorned winter takes its revenge on the upstart summer that mugged spring. If pollen is the culprit then I should get a couple of days respite when the rain washes it out of the air. We might even get a bit more snow in the mountains, hooray however little and late. Again, small favors. Sometimes they're the best one can get.
