Goodbye May...

 

May's ending on warm note.   We're finally getting some sunlight, just not enough to get rid of this humidity.  Other than a couple of appointments, May didn't bring us much.  Maybe that's OK.  It didn't bring us much bad either.  Most of the month was just overcast & hazy.  

Tomorrow will start the 1st of the month stuff again.  Goodbye May.  At least you're ending on a blue moon.  Take care.

Lingering...

 

For some time now, we've had stuff linger on into the next month.  We haven't just been able to shut the door on a month & move on.  These things are just camped out by the door unresolved.  The problem is a lot of these issues aren't things we can control or even influence.  It's just a waiting game while things get handled.  Some of this should've been handled years ago & may not be handled until late Summer.

Even if everything got wrapped up by August, that'd just be the beginning of what this household would have to face.  It could be at least another month of more before things settle for us.   Most 2026 could get tarnished by something neither of us could control.  

May will be another month with carry over because of other people's BS.   At least we finally met our rainfall averages.

The Lasts Of May...

 

Today is Memorial Day & the last Monday of the month.  Soon, the whole 1st of the month thing will start again.  I'm not happy with this month.  It's brighter this morning, but most of May has been overcast to stormy dark.  I'm just trying to get my head in a good place & not much seems to be cooperating.

Shopping is the only thing on the list for today.  This week will be a little busier, due to some appointments in Fort Smith.  Nothing big, just have to drive over & back.  

That's all for now, take care.

Forecast Lied...

 

There was no call for dark, noisy storms this morning, but here they are.   Waking this morning has been a challenge.  The bad part of all this, even though the storms won't stop & the skies won't clear, there hasn't been that much precipitation.  We're still short of the monthly rainfall average.

May hasn't been a bad month, but it certainly hasn't been good time either.  I don't why I keep looking for good times.  Those haven't been a thing for while now.

That's it for now, take care.

2nd May Sunday...

 

The weather's been weird for May.  It's be cooler, darker & definitely wetter than usual.   We've been seasonally warm only to drop back into the mid 40s.  We haven't met our rain average, but the rain keeps coming in stormy dumps.  There's been a lot of hail.

The biggest issue for me is the lack of light.  It's making really pulling out of SAD difficult.   Everything is just dragging on & nothing seems to be getting resolved.  

That's about it for today.  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...

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 May...

 


It's a bright morning to end the month of May.  With any luck, this will be a do nothing day.  Next week will be busy with 1st of the month stuff, bills & appointments.  For now though, it's just sunny.

I'm trying to look on the brighter side of things, but lately that's been difficult.  With the weather, my SAD, the orange stain & Oklahoma BS, it's pretty hard to be optimistic.  It'd be great if a lot of people wearing red hats would just fall over.

That's all for now, Goodbye May.

At Least It's Sunny...

 

There isn't much going on as this last Friday of May.  It's actually sunny this morning, which is a change.  The next few days are supposed to be light then the storms will roll back into the area.  

There isn't much on our to-do list today.  It'll be end of the week shopping & a few errands.  That's about it.  

Take care.

Not Well...

 

I don't feel well this morning.  This month has been rough.  It was dark all day yesterday & stormed.  The storms lasted throughout the night.  Between all that, we had around 3".  That about doubles our monthly rainfall average for the month.   The rest of the month looks to be dark & there may be more rain.  

Somehow, allergens are still high.  There's been a lot of noise from animals, neighbors & trains.  Sleep hasn't been the easiest & waking's been even harder.  

May didn't get the memo about being a bright month.  It's still lingering the dark of the year.  There's not much left of the month to do better.  May, you've sucked.

That's all for now.

May Ick...

 

It's supposed to be Mayfest not Maysuck.  This month has been crap as far as the weather.  Sure, it's been cooler, but it's been dark, storming & muggy for most of the month.  It was dark this morning & we're expecting more storms this evening.   That's pretty much what's on call for the remainder of May & into June.  

I'm dealing the allergies, people burning crap & SAD.  This sucks.  The grass is growing & the bugs are flourishing.  The only high point hear is that we're not using much electricity for cooling.  

Articles were still mostly absent, so this is it.   Take care.

Alright Morning...

 


I woke well enough & for now it's sunny.  Too bad it's supposed to storm more today.  I'm ready for these storms to be gone.  It's likely the entirety of May is going to be riddled with them.  It is keeping the temps more seasonal.

That's all for now, take care.

Ever Dismal...

 


It stormed last night & we got over an inch of rain.  It lowered the temps a bit, but it also left things dark.  It's looking like the end of May will be dreary.  This damnable, long dark season is being really rough to deal with this year.  We'll probably go from dark, wet & dismal to bright & blazing.  We don't really get gradual seasonal changes anymore.  So much for May being a good month.

That's it for now, take care.

Mid May...

 

It's the middle of the month.  Most of the bills have been handled.  What hasn't, hadn't arrived yet, so we're as done as we can be with that.  I'm really tired of the haze.  It's May & most of the days have been hazy, completely overcast or storming.   There's been very little sunlight.  If not for some of the warmer days, this could pass for March.

We've got shopping & errands today.  That should be it for the outing.  Take care & maybe the sun will show up soon.

Rainy Start..

 

The 1st of the month stuff has started.  We'll have to hit the bank tomorrow due to how days fall.   Other than regular stuff there are some appointments.  Both of us have dental appointments.  I have an appointment with my medical provider mid month.  It should just be standard stuff.

This weekend looks to be both brighter & a little chillier.  I had hoped not to see the 40s again this season.  That may not be a thing I get.

That's about it for now.  Take care.

May Day 2025...

 


Hello May, try to be a good month.  The weather will be hit & miss for brightness & storms for a bit.  The bill paying will be off this month, but it'll be handled.  

That's about it for now.  Articles are still off.  Unfortunately the orange stain still exists.  Maybe next month will be less orange.

Happy Beltane, have a great May Day.

Goodbye May...

 

May is almost over & I'd like to say it had been a  good month, but I can't.  May was a challenging month for a lot of reasons, few of which originated from within our home.  The majority of this was outside, intrusive, ridiculous crap.  It was the issues of others trashing our little semblance of peace.

People need to learn, they don't live in isolation.  Whatever they do or don't do will impact others & things around them.   It's like being in a pond, you're always causing ripples.  Those waves keep going & sometimes they topple over into other people's lives.

Goodbye May.  You weren't the worst month, but you were far from good or easy.

Take care.

Last May Weekend...

 

May is rolling out & this is the last Saturday of the month.  It'd be nice if June forward could be a nicer year.  I know it'll be hot, but maybe some of the other stress could back of for a while.  That'd be nice.  I doubt that will happen, but if I had my druthers. 

There isn't much going on here this morning.  Maybe it'll stay that way.   This last week wasn't supposed to be hard either, but that isn't what happened. 

Take care.

3rd Week...

 

We're starting the 3rd week of May.  It's starting to get warm & TV shows are ending already.  This was a dud season.  It's supposed to be stormy this week.  We don't need any severe weather.

The issue affecting my roomie is ongoing & there isn't a lot of news at the moment.  It's just waiting to see how things go.  At this time, I think a quick resolve whichever way would be the best for those concerned.  Little good will come from this lingering.

That's all for now.  Time to go shopping.  Take care.
