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.

The Haze Remains...

 

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.

It Was A Dark & Stormy...

 


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.

Hello April...

 

April is here.  I hope it turns out to be easier than March.  This will be another short post.  We have to head out soon for an appointment.  Yet another early morning.  I hope these wind down a bit.  I don't handle mornings well.

That's all for now.  Hello April, be nice.

Bye Bye April...

 

April's ending, but it won't take all it's drear with it.  The beginning of May will be like this.  A Thursday 1st put's bill paying in a bit of weirdness, but it'll get handled.  Only normal stuff, like trash & mail are on the schedule today.   More storms are in the forecast.  

That's all for now, take care.

Goodbye April.

Still Not Much...

 

Articles have been very limited for some time.  It's due to the BS this current administration is pulling.  The orange stain could undo decades of work due to his stunts.  Some are trying to oppose him or offset his impact, but that won't be easy.  At this point, there's still too much up in the air to make any certain comments on the issue.

Besides that matter, it's the last weekend of April.  The 1st of the month is goin to fall awkward this month.  That's it for now, take care.

Friday Haze...

 

It's a little brighter this last Friday in April.  Mostly it's hazy.  That's still better than the dismal skies we've been having.  I almost hate to say it, but we don't have much of anything planned this weekend.   Lately, every "nothing" day has turned into a "something damned annoying" day.

Shopping & errands are about it for us this morning.  Take care.

The Lasts Of April...

 

The month is winding down.  April hasn't been a great run for me.  It's good we got the rain, but the dreary skies were rough.  It rained more yesterday & may today.  The next couple of weeks look to be wet.  I just hope it's not dark & stormy.

I'm still not seeing much for articles.  We don't currently have much happening besides the norm for the rest of the month.  That could change, but hopefully it doesn't.  

That's all for now, take care.

Yet Another Thing...

 

After  a dark, stormy start of the month, there remains the ongoing drama of the neighbor dealing with his tree.  I'm not sure why it's taking so long.  The people he hired seem to be part-timers & then again everything is drenched.   

Now the city has decided to repave the roads on either side of my block.  They need it, but not right this damn moment.   April is being annoying.  I hope this is for the duration.

It's brighter this morning, but I still feel off.  It's been dark, stormy & cold.  The tree cutting brought a lot of noise, mess  & allergen ridden debris.   Now, there's the noisy, smelly ordeal of paving roads that will last until the 15th.

So much for easy mornings.

Take care.

Hello April...

 


It's the 1st day of April, a day for fools.  We don't have much planned for today.  It's a little cooler, but somewhat bright this morning.  The rest of the week is supposed to be stormy.  Hopefully, it won't get bad.  We need rain, not storms.

There's the typical stuff coming, bills & 1st of the month errands.   There's a few appointments.  It'd be nice if the drama kept to a minimum.  I know that's a big ask.

That's all for now, take care.  May April be kind ot us all.

Goodbye & Hello...

 


That's that for April.  My appointment went fine.  Now the month is finished.  Goodbye April, you weren't horrible, but you could've been better.

Hello May.  Happy May Day or Beltane.   It'd be nice if this was a good month.  The month started with a downpour.   It's already rained almost 3". The rest of the week will be 1st of the month stuff.

That's all for now, take care.

Dark April...

 

The month is ending dark & stormy.  So far, it's a lot of bluster & not too much rain.  Still, we're over the monthly average.   Tomorrow we'll go shopping & to the mechanic.  On Tuesday I have a medical appointment.  Then the 1st of the month stuff will begin again.

This weather isn't doing me favors.  It's making everything dark & pushing my SAD.  It's also making me achy, so sleep isn't great.  It's needs to brighten up & dry out some.

That's about all I have this morning, take care.

1st April Saturday...

 


It's a slightly windy 1st April Saturday.  It's going to be warmer for a bit.   The eclipse & some rain may lower the temps mid week, but nothing near freezing.  It's almost time to start washing & stowing all the Winter gear & blankets. 

We have the house bills paid.  I did a little bit around the yard again.  We're still waiting to see what shrubs survived the Winter.  The wind is blowing pollen & debris everywhere.  If something's been still too long, it's pollen green.  

Got another text telling me the Affordable Connectivity Programs is ending.  There will be no more discounted service.  If nothing else raises too much, we'll be OK.  If not, we may be looking for other options.  That may not be much to some folks, but to others that discount was all or half of another bill.   Now, there may few or no options for them.

That's all for now, take care.

April Appointments...

 


The temps are warming again.  Maybe this time they'll hold.  We'll finish household bills today.  That'll just leave some online things as they roll up.  Then April will be paid.

This month is going to be a month of appointments for us.  Both of have a couple.  Nothing big, just normal things.  Still, they have to be handled.  

I'm not sure of anymore outings for the month yet.  We'll see what comes along.  If not, we've already done more than we did most of 2023 put together.  Things may not be quite back & they probably won't ever be the same, but we're trying.

That's it for now, take care.

April Sniffles...



April's brought cold temps, winds, mowing, tree pollen, etc...  Everything to make my breathing rough.  I've had the sniffles & borderline sore throat.  So far, nothing more.  I hope that holds.  

We handled the beginning of bills yesterday.  The rest will get handled on Friday.   Other than, we don't have a lot planned this months except for some routine appointments.  

That's all for this morning, take care.

April Beginning...

 

We'll handle 1st of the month stuff today.  April is not making things easy.  Besides all the pollen & iffy light, it's cooled off again.  Not freezing, but notable after being warm for a bit.  The whole thing is trying to give me a cold or something.

We went out yesterday & did normal people things again.  It's still not like it was, but we're getting better at it.  We enjoyed the movie & the food.  Probably won't do anything much next week.  There's an appointment & we haven't noticed any films we'd like to see.  It'll give us a bit to recoup. 

That's all for now, take care.

Goodbye March & Hello April....

 


Since the holiday fell yesterday, I didn't do my monthly goodbye.  March started alright, but the drama piled on soon after.  Within the last month, maybe a little more, we've dealt with car issues, net issues & now some other things are lingering that are causing stress.  Goodbye March, you brought drama & some of it's lingering into April. 

Hello April, no more issues please.  It'd be nice to have decent weather & problems resolved.  I'm won't hold my breath.  Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised.  It could happen.

Take care.

Goodbye April...




While April wasn't a bad month, it wasn't a good time either.  There were issues with renewal, bad weather, dark days, being sick, etc...  It's also the month I learned about Netflix's DVD issue.  Not a good month at all.   Well, it's nearly gone for this year.  Hopefully May will do better.

Week Of Drear...


Yesterday wasn't a bad day.  The rest of the week looks to be dark, chilly, wet BS.  It rained about a quarter of an inch last night.  We need more rain, but at the moment I don't care.  I need some sunshine, not this crap weather we've been having.  

The weird weather, high pollen, local tree cutting & idiots burning crap has left me somewhat sick for most of the month.  This April hasn't been horrible, but it's not winning any prizes either.

That's all for now, take care.

Supposed To Be Spring...

 

It's late April & we're still having temps dip into the 30s.  It's supposed to get warmer & brighter.   It keeps swinging & making me feel like crap.  It looks like the the overnights in the 40s will last into May.  It needs to warm up.  I hate cold, dreary weather.
