rejectomorphMonday I woke up to dampness. There were times when I heard the rain, and other times when it was quiet. It was chilly outside, but the furnace never fired up. My sink had come down with a clog Sunday evening, and the the manager came by to deal with it, as it turns out not entirely successfully. The clog appeared to have gone away, but later I tried washing dishes and discovered that it had merely moved farther down the pipe and it just took longer for the sink to back up. They were supposed to be back Tuesday, but didn't make it. The job remains unfinished for now, and the time of correction a mystery.
My neck has been very sore, and I'm getting almost desperate enough to actually go out and see a chiropractor, but not quite. Also irritating, the detergent allergy that is messing up my fingertips is not improving, and I'm getting splits in the skin that can be quite painful when anything gets into them, The keyboard is unpleasant to use as well, and it's getting harder to pick up anything fiddly, or do things like open jar lids. I had this condition once before, some twenty or more years ago, but I don't remember how I got over it.
The few cool days were nice, but heat is returning, though next Saturday could cool off again and might even bring more rain. The end of the month looks sultry as hell though, bringing day after day with highs in the nineties. The nights will continue in the sixties, so there will be some nocturnal cooling for the apartment, maybe enough to avoid turning on the air conditioner before June. We're only about five weeks from the summer solstice, so our luck will surely run out soon.
I need to get groceries this week, and the Safeway sale ad is one of the worst I've ever seen. We'll have to see if I'm sufficiently disappointed to go back the the other store. I haven't bought from them in more than six months, and I'm still pissed off at them, but the third store has an unusable online ordering system, and those are the only real options. I'll have to check the web sites in the morning and see which is the lesser evil this week I guess.
It was a napless day, and I've gotten very tired. At the moment I'm munching some almond powder to try to get rid of some indigestion, and as soon as I can I'll be hitting the sheets. I hope they don't hit back.
