April is ending in a haze. This isn't making mornings easy. The forecast doesn't show sunny days for a while. That's not great for me.
May is almost here. Maybe it will be a bit brighter. There's a lot we had hoped would be handled this month, but that didn't happen. The waiting limbo continues.
There's not much going on today. This is the last trash day of the month. Other than that we'll check the mail & that's about it.
Take care.

Twice this week we drove by someone mowing/dealing with their yard. That's expected this time of year. But when we went by these yards they had something in them that sent me into coughing, sneezing fit. Both times the coughing & sneezing last for some time. This messed with me for hours.
We've had a ton of rain, but that didn't help with these issues. Actually, it made them worse. I don't know if the moisture set something off or caused some mold. But the rain didn't wash the matter away.
It's hazy & we're expecting more rain today. We don't need more & I'd be fine if it didn't. There's been little sunshine this week. Oh well, there's always something to gripe about with the weather.
Take care.

Some of my roomie's health equipment went on the fritz last night. There was noise, bad smells & some dust. That led to late night calls & waiting. She's still waiting on someone to arrive to handle the matter.
It didn't set the place on fire, but it was a little unnerving. We didn't know what had happened. Most likely they'll just replace the machine. Still, we're left waiting, because something had to go & break.
This didn't use to be a problem. Service techs would come to & check on things every 6 months or so. That stopped years ago. It stopped before the last machine conked out & this was has been in the house since 2019. I'm surprised it lasted this long.
That's all for now. Take care.

In a little over a week, there's been a nearly 50° temperature swing, astounding pollen levels, storms, winds, hail & over 3.5" of rain. This hasn't been an easy mid-month. Most of it's cooler than normal, hazy & humid. It's making pulling out of SAD very difficult. The rain's needed, the rest of it was just crap. Dark mornings, weird light & storm tension have left me a little rattled. It'd be nice just to have bright, nothing days.
I did see some articles that looked interesting. Paywalls blocked them both. Maybe I'll see the topic somewhere else soon. I know these people need to get paid & that I'm always low on funds. But, I doubt very many people could pay for all these paywalls even if they wanted to. Who cares if they've got great information if no one ever sees it?

It dumped over 2" on us yesterday in a mix of hard rain, wind & hail. It was dark & loud. When it passed, the sky stayed yellow until sunset. We have chances for more heavy rain storms tonight. The monthly rainfall averages have been met.
It's April & sometime during this month is our cat, Millie's birthday. She turned 10 this year. Not a kitten anymore. Happy Birthday little boop cat.
Take care.

Not a great morning for waking. It's dark & has been storming for a bit. Our area can't just do rain showers anymore, it's always got to be storms. This has been loud & dark. I have to go shopping in a bit. That won't be fun.
We're getting to the end of April & it hasn't been a great Spring. There's still a lot going on that we have no real idea about. Hard to make a plan without any solid info.
Other than going shopping, there shouldn't be much going on today. That's it for now.
Take care.

I've slept better the last couple of nights. However, the actual up waking wasn't so great. It's been dark, overcast & threatening storms. This is making for some rough mornings getting started. It dampens the whole day.
My roomie had an appointment yesterday. It shouldn't have been any big deal, but sometimes driving to Fort Smith can be a hassle. The last 2 times over have been. It can take up any way from 30 minutes to an hour. It all depends on traffic, drivers, weather & other uncontrollables. It can be a very easy trip or absolute nuisance.
With these mornings & yesterday's outing, I'm a bit tired. At least there's nothing really happening today. That's needed for both of us.
Take care.
