52/386-387: Spare Change
Mar. 26th, 2026 03:19 amWednesday I finally gave up on when, and came pretty close to giving where the gate. What is hanging on by the skin of its teeth, but I can't say why, as that's been gone as long as how. Only who appears sound, but I'm pretty sure I can detect cracks forming in it. The cracks appear mostly in those moments just after I wake up, before the brain fog starts to clear. I think everybody knows that when who goes, it's all over.
Speaking of over, our temporally displaced summer will be going on hiatus in a few days. Next Monday, spring will make an appearance, with a high of 73 and possible afternoon showers. Tuesday, the last day of April, will turn April fresh, with rain and a high of 62. Wednesday and Thursday will continue cool, with more showers likely. I was hoping I'd get through spring without using any more gas, but it looks like a lengthy cold spell will be demanding the furnace. Too bad.
And speaking of gas, my utility bill arrived Wednesday, and it was $50.05. That's less than it could have been, but more than I'd hoped it would be. Next month there shouldn't be a bill, because it's climate credit time, which usually wipes out the April bill, unless the weather goes crazy and I end up using either loads of gas for the furnace or loads of electricity for the air conditioning. I don't think that will happen this year.
Since I slept through Wednesday's dinnertime, I just ate my last frozen lasagna. They will be on sale at Safeway this week, and I wanted to clear out space in the freezer for three more. Friday will be shopping day, and I hope they have my donuts, because I've really missed them for the last two weeks. Maybe that's why I lost when? But wait! Look at that! Why is back! Maybe there's hope for words after all.
