Saturday, June 28th, 2025 06:34 pmLast night was thunder and rain, welcome enough in that the sidewalk up from my place has become a dog turd trap, ie some animal stepped in dog doo and meandered up the street leaving marks from here to Yarmouth. The marks are still faintly there today but at least better than it was. Also storm brought in, if not cooler, then dryer weather, so the day was sun and warm and breezily pleasant.
Back has been a literal pain all this week, doubtless from couch potatodom, and legs no better, but I made me go out to Wiener's to inquire about extend-a-cutters because the linden is becoming ridiculously umbrageous. On back order, Marty says, should be in at the end of the month. Umm, this *is* the end of the month, isn't it? so after Monday? Yeah, next week, sort of. OK, must come back next week. SND texted me to say the tree people couldn't come right away to do the cherry, so they'd decided to postpone trim until fall or maybe spring, and I foolishly said Maybe I should just get the whole tree done since lord knows it needs it, and they said Good idea happy to chip in. Which means calling up tree services moan groan tremble. But it really does need extreme cutting back.
Then had bento at my old(est) place and dropped by my secondary bank because BoM will give me fives. Except it didn't give me anything. Kept telling me to remove my card after I'd removed my card, then printed a receipt and shut down. So I had to stand in line and wait for a cashier to be free, while hoping there was a way to tell that the ATM actually hadn't dispensed the cash. Must be, surely, or else people would be constantly trying that scam? Anyway, guy had no doubts as to my honesty, voided the ATM withdrawal, and gave me my cash. But from now on I use the left hand machine only, just in case.
There's the yearly recycle event at Central Tech tomorrow. Might go down with that bag of batteries I found in the bunker, though Wiener's will take light bulbs if I remember to bring them. I must move to move but I seriously don't want to. Couch and beanbags and fan and books/ tablet is all I'm up for.
