Gloom & Grass...

 

It's still overcast & chilly.  We might not make out of the 50s today.  To make things worse, there's a lot of mowing. The noise alone can be bothersome, but this year's different.   My roomie & I are both reacting to cut grass a lot this year.  Normally, it smells & might set off our allergies.  This year besides it stinking & setting off allergies, it's making us feel fairly ill & nauseous.   Hopefully, whatever's in the grass will die off soon.  This has been a lot for the last few weeks.

I've posted about aging with HIV before.  This is a good piece about aging with HIV.   It deals with the issues of HIV itself, the meds & comorbidities.  It's worth a read.

Take care.

Gloomy Tuesday...

 

Not much happening this 1st Tuesday of May.  It's cloudy & will probably be dark all day  Forecasts keep changing on any chances for rain.  We'll deal with the last of the of house bills & run some errands.  That should wrap things up.

That's all I have this morning.  I need to get around so we can go handle the monthlies.   

Take care.

May Begins & the Fourth...

 

Actual May business will start today.  We'll handle the bank, some bills & shopping.  Some will be handled tomorrow.  Then things will get dealt with as the arrive.   

Oklahoma decided it was windy season.  We've been having a constant, sometimes significant, wind for a while.   I've gotten to where the sound annoys me.  Maybe I'm just worried about what it'll break.

It looks like there'll be another midweek temperature dip & then it should get more seasonal.  I don't need hot.   But, I'd like to completely pack up cold weather things.

That's it for now, take care.

PS - May the Fourth be with You...

Mowers are Like Worried Dogs...

 

If our yard is looking shaggy, the neighbors are less apt to mow.  But let our grass get cut & look out.  It's like they're worried our lawn is outdoing thiers.  Then the mowing starts.    

Once another mower starts mowing, it's on.  Soon, there'll be more mowers, trimmers, clippers, etc...  It's like when a single dog barks & soon every neighborhood mongrel is baying, barking & yipping.  

Yesterday was the day of dueling mowers.  Everyone had to mow.  They had to trim & clip.  They made an awful, debris ridden racket.  Dust, cut grass & pollen flew.   Between all of that & the noise, my head wasn't & still isn't happy.  

I hate mowing.  I'd replace the lawn with low grow options & wild flowers, then just let it be.  Too bad we have fire ants & the ground cover would hide them.  

For now it's over.   Maybe soon my allergies will settle a bit.  That's it, take care.

Still Chilly In May...

 

I appreciate the last 2 mornings have been bright.  Still, I'm past these overnight temps in the 40s.  It's May, the chilliest it should be is in the high 50s.  These temp drops are rough & I'm ready to be rid of all these blankets for the season.  Things need washed & aired out.  That's hard to do with these temps.

There's not much going on this weekend.  Monday will start the 1st of month for bills & errands.  We get done what we can as we can.  The water bill still hasn't shown up yet.  

That's all for now, take care.

Hello May...

 

April closed out with the yard getting mowed.  It needed it but I'm not sure I did.   Allergies had already been an issue & then the cut grass added to it.  That's it's handled for a while.  This month starts off a little late for us.   Our normal start day is on a Sunday, so things will get pushed back a day.

It was bright this morning, even if the chill is back.  It's May, mornings shouldn't be this cool.  I have 2 appointments this month.  A regular with my medical provider & a dental cleaning. 

Hello May, try to be a decent month.

Goodbye April...

 

This soggy, dark month is finally ending.  Maybe May can be a bit brighter.  April wasn't a terribly bad month, but it wasn't great either.  At least we met our rainfall average.  It's still a bit chillier than I'd like.  There's still overnights in the 40s in the forecast.

We don't have much going on today.  A friend came over & that'll be about the extent of today's activities.  I'm fine with that.

Take care.
