THURSDAY ALREADY. How did that happen? Blink and it's the week-end. When I'm busy, the time flies.
Hubby has plans to work on the car as the shocks have gone haywire. Driving the car is like driving a small tank. Tis horrible how bounchy it is.
Pray it is successful and there are no injuries.
I did watch the Presidential DEBATE on Tuesday. I'm not saying much about it. Come election day in November, a newly elected President will be selected. Which ever side wins, we the people are being allowed to experience what the ones in control wants us to. Who are the ones in control? Conspiracy Theories a plenty. I was able to watch the complete debate. Much to talk about.
ON THE HOME FRONT. I attempted to vacuum the living room and the vacuum started smoking. The light on the vacuum showed smoke. By vacuuming it was stirring up so must dust, I turned it off. I'll be cleaning the machine in a little bit. I'm not impressed with this vacuum. Though it is fairly new, it hasn't done well. My old vacuum is in storage and I need to find a repair man to see if he can repair it. The house needs vacuumed so badly. The importance of keeping it clean is apparent to me. I have let it go further than I should have. Gotta get back with it.
Wednesday came and I was on the go again. Recounting what I did. Paperwork gone through. Went through old newspapers to cut out articles to file. Hubby loaded our donation boxes and storage boxes into the car. A trip to the post office to mail some cards and pick up the mail. Paid the City bill. Drove to the out of town storage unit to unload some boxes and check on mouse traps. Drove over to Manhattan on this fine almost AUTUMN DAY. The trees are turning. Rolled into town and made a Goodwill drop. Starbucks Green Tea treat. It is my reward for being out and about. Drove across town to the Manhattan Running Company to purchase some runner's socks for one of our Cross Country Grandsons. Will mail tomorrow. Target was close by, so we shopped for milk, soy-free eggs (which they didn't have) and paper products. I rode their cart! We checked out and went to a different grocery store for SOY-FREE eggs.
HY-VEE had them. Looked for mouse traps. It was getting late so we ate Chinese at the grocery store. It was more like a hunger saver. Ate a few pieces of Orange chicken and noodles. The veggies were awful. Sipped on water. Checked out and drove back to the country storage unit to set out more mouse traps. Onward to our COTTAGE.
Unloaded and put stuff away. The day was pleasant and the weather beautiful. Late Summer days like today bring back memories of my childhood. The tops of the trees are turning orange. AUTUMN is here in disagreement with the calendar. An early AUTUMN. Not ready as I know cold weather will follow. Slow this down and take it all in.
Evening closed in and I was tired. Ready for bed. Slept til 5 this morning. Started my day. I'll need to take a look at the vacuum. I hope I can fix it. Will wrap up the runner's socks and get in the mail. Perhaps I'll walk to the Post Office today to do that. I'll need to check up on my Mom later as she has a doctor'e appointment today. Having some visual problems. Water the porch plants and pick some cherry tomatoes. This morning, I'm going to put a JACK LALANNE video in and walk through it. I think his program came on the television about nine in the mornings when I was a kid. So I'll aim for 9 this morning to watch him.
I had a thought yesterday about 911. 23 years ago this happened. I did the math. I am the age my mother was when this happened. 69. Doesn't seem possible. 911. We were living in Manhattan, KS. Hubby came home from work for lunch and I was sitting on the sofa when he asked me if I had been watching the tv. I hadn't and he filled me in on what had happened. STUNNED to say the least.
He was at the Kansas State University Student Union with the department he worked for when using large tv screens to display something they were promoting when the aircraft crashed into the tower. Was that suppose to happen? No.
Think what you might, but I believe explosives were used inside the structures to assist with the destroying of the the towers.
911. pause.
LIFE IS BUT A VAPOR. Saying my prayers and figuring out what I will attempt to get done today.
