I received a call from Baxter Restoration telling me the spice rack will be delivered today. Normally, UPS and FedEx delivers around 2 pm in our neighborhood. It’s 4:17 at this time and I’m still waiting. I’m to call Robert back and let him know if I did or did not get the delivery. December calls to me for completion.
I feel somewhat better than my last post. The pandemic is much worse and the election is still driving me crazy but I seem to have gotten over the problem with the utility light. True to his word, the electrician for Dinnen Electric showed up the next day and installed the light.
Perhaps my mood improved because I totally ignored whether or not the electrician would show up and did my walk, my yoga stretches and my swim. I had no sooner gotten out of the pool and dried off when the phone rang about letting the guy come to the house to install. The moral of this story is to never put your life on hold waiting for someone else.
Since I can now see when I enter the utility room, I decided this would be a good day to start my deep clean. I started with the shelf high up on the west wall. I took every thing down which was mostly my camping equipment. I then remembered how much the insulation had decomposed and was falling out of the ceiling.
I spent the next couple of hours cutting down large garbage bags and tacking them up against the rafter to hold the insulation back. Several times I had to stand not only on the top rung of the ladder but the top handle of the ladder (it was made for that) to get up to the proper height and once I had to actually climb up onto the shelf. Luckily, even though fools rush in where angels fear to tread, some angel was looking out for me. I didn’t fall.
I was a sweaty mess that high up in the ceiling and had to take a shower and a long breather after that.

Usually, many hemospermia sufferers may not accept the treatment as they can take discount viagra usa without draining their savings. viagra is a tested and certified medicine for treating ED in men, Kamagra is very popular for the same.After I got the insulation repaired, I then started the wipe down of the west wall of the shelf and the shelf itself and then started putting everything back into place.
As to the pandemic, not only did the U.S. hit a new high in new cases, but Florida passed 800,000 total cases. For the previous three days, the new case total was over 4,000 for each day and today the new case load is 5,592. More and more hospitals across the nation are filling up their isolation wards and ICU beds. However, I’m much relieved to know The Donald has now officially declared the pandemic over. Seriously folks, he’s trying to kill us all.
Our governor, Ron DeSantis seems to be trying to do the same. He’s cut back on testing – it skews the figures to make him look bad – and has decided all children must be back in class in January – no exceptions. Oh, and the data have been wrong all along, apparently manipulated to make the state look better. Some estimates from reliable sources suggest that instead of 17,000 dead in Florida, it may be as high as 25,000.
Halloween is tomorrow and I’m cutting off the front porch light to discourage trick or treaters. I usually buy a ton of candy and end of having to eat it all myself. Not this year. Years I don’t buy candy, they knock on my door in droves. Go figure.
Sunday I turn 72. I don’t feel 72 (except some mornings when I wake up) but I’ve noticed small things that indicate that indeed I am. My steps are not as bold when I walk, I can’t turn around very quickly or I lose my balance, and my stamina isn’t what it used to be last year. Considering this year’s events, I’m lucky to be here, lucky to have a home paid for and lucky to have a retirement account. Actually, I worked damned hard for all of that.
My song recommendation today is Chris Isaak’s “The End of Everything.” It’s a little dark but perhaps appropriate for today’s pandemic news.
