hey, you know the hat mitten dryer stand you posted. you should make another one but use golf club shafts/ handles for the pegs.... if you have a few clubs you can cut away...if not you can find a few at a thrift store for a couple bucks each....set by the door and have a cool little dryer stand.

Just stopping by for a sec. Heard ‘I Can’t Get No Satisfaction’ by the Stones today and turned it up on my way to work. Lolz, it suits a lot of us since we’re behind because of the storms last week.

Hello everybody! Today I've mostly been waking up at 1am and then much later fielding an attempt to from the housing association to stop somebody who works for the housing association from talking to me. To explain. Back in March last year I was assigned somebody from the not evicting tenants department to work with me on fixing the place up, since it needs a lot of work (most of which they'll pay for however I had a long feud with them where I refused to let anyone in due to my misgivings about them being worthless incompetents with no respect for tenants - so I protested). She first called while I was in my first quarantine back in March last year and she pretty much stopped me from going nuts. Afterwards we did get to working on things (and both ended up in quarantine after I got infected again) but that went South when things got out of hand and I got strict about letting people in again. As things got worse she was no longer able to visit anyone, but continued to phone every week and just talk for an hour, which really helped to stop me from going completely off my trolley. More recently her boss pointed out that she worked in housing and was not a trained councilor and should not be spending over an hour a week on the companies time and phone bill chatting to me and ordered her to close my file as nobody could get in anyway.
So she did.
Her boss went on a two week break a few days later and she started a new file on me then called as usual. I helped by loudly tidying up while talking about the state of the property for a bit. The call wasn't recorded but she's very truthful* so that should help. Though we mostly just yakked about whatever and caught up.
This week she's off, but her boss is back, so I got a call from a trained 'are you okay' person. The devious sod! I was caught off guard, but gave her my sad life story of the last decade and all the horrifying things culminating in the pandemic, explained how somebody from the housing department had called often during it and though it was mostly about fixing up the place it really helped a lot to be able to talk to anyone, that after getting an old friend back and forming a social bubble I was better (and had signed up for counseling) and was more focused on home improvement right now, but thanks.
Because more than anything I need friends!

Happy bump day! Fist humps to everyone!

*As am I. I hate lying, but I can mislead without flat out lying if it's in a good cause, like helping somebody else and if there's no other option!

Gin and tonic is the first drink I've found that tastes, if anything, better after using mouthwash! Life in lockdown, folks. :)

Good morning all.

Today was a day I wished I could have stayed in bed. Of course, every work day is like that. Ah well, the pain reminds us that we are still on the right side of the grass!

Got off work yesterday and took care of five errands on the way home. Once home, I walked the dog, did a few chores, took my pain meds and proceeded to fall asleep sitting up on the couch again, while my coffee got cold. It's almost routine at this point, lol.

Taking Mrs. GWU to the doctor today so I get to leave the office an hour early. Only one other errand after her doctor appointment so not as hectic an afternoon as yesterday.

Have a great day everyone!

I admire your attitude, GW. Hope all goes well on your day and the pain stays manageable for you.

Oh those time zone differences! Worse with me waking up at 1am today. May you have a fine rest of the morning and a better afternoon. I tried calling my friend after finding his phone number even though we live next door, but the line is busy. Honestly, I think I may be best off just having a few drinks and listening to music (another 80s classic at the moment) and then heading off to bed. In the interests of normalcy though I'm going to heroically try to stay up drinking and listening to music for as long as possible. For the common good.
