So you're probably in the air zooming toward Richmond right now.
Indeed I was, judging from your post time. Storms all over the southeast caused an hour delay, not too bad. The Wife was happy to see me; I have no idea why Old married couples aren't supposed to miss each other, are they?
We even spent some of the time on the beach there. It was a nice day, but I am tired, now.
Is it the beach along Lake Erie? As a very young kid, I lived in Pittsburgh before we moved to LA. I have some memories of us driving up to Erie PA to swim in the Great Lake

I think they're supposed to look forward to getting their spouse out of their hair and then miss them terribly when they're gone.
Another load of household goods hauled to the house. The carpet cleaner came out, chatted, and even hit one of the mystery spots on the tile. I explained to him that I was planning to hit the tile with some degreaser, but that I might have him out in July anyway. It will be very nice to be back in my comfort zone. It was in the low-70s out there, which made me think how, had I not moved out, I'd have had the doors open while enjoying the cool breeze while the cats would come and go as they pleased.
You can have my Oxford comma when you pry it from my cold, dead, and lifeless hands.
not at all. we had no rain for week after week - its only been the past few days we have had more than a sprinkle - so spring was dry and summer is warm/wet.
aw i dont know about that scottyfog - i miss my everyday we dont share - and we are not even married but have been hanging out for many years.it doesnt lessen the mood of gratitude to see her again.
i managed to get to the garden center yesterday - but got wet on my way home. today cleaning job, strawberry harvesting at the plot, evening job...

That's very sweet. What exactly is preventing you from seeing each other every day?
scottydog, yes, the beaches here are along Lake Erie. Cedar Point's is much better than Cleveland's Edgewater, but I like the beaches of Erie, PA best. The water is turquoise and clear, there. Years ago, Ohio's Lake Erie used to be brown. Now it is a greenish color.
I really did not miss my husband while I was on my trip.
It has been a cold and wet Spring, here is Ohio. Summer doesn't look to be much better. I'm wondering if we will have a summer this year.
Nothing exciting today. Just work, and if the weather cooperates, I will plant snap dragons.
The only way you may correct the bad things in your past is to add better things to your future.

we dont live in the same house
today - i have an empty morning to be filled with cooking/polytunnelling/chores, then working for L2 indoors if wet outdoors if dry, then my evening job.
scottydog, they have cleaned up the lake, but it still has an awful lot of garbage that washes ashore in Cleveland. Also, about 2-4 times per year during heavy rains, the sewer plant dumps hundreds of thousands of gallons of "treated" sewage into it. I never go into the lake, and whatever beach glass I bring home, I soak in it bleach.

Today I'll go to the gym and get some exercise, which I haven't done in over a week. Then I'll have lunch with my dear elderly friend Marcia. I hope she's doing okay. Tonight should be a quiet evening spent with The Wife.

Oh my goodness, all this sounds unconscionable. Are there fish living in the lake? I'm shocked that we can still legally pollute our lakes and rivers
Do you have a good supply of food and water for when The Big One hits?
To some extent. But I've always figured that any disaster big enough to prepare for is too big to prepare for. Having said that we could always make a long-range supply run to Nevada or Arizona.

Same thing happens here. There's always warnings after heavy rains not to swim in the ocean in some areas.

I like your logic here. I watch these shows on the zombie apocalypse and I conclude that a good reliable suicide pill is preferable to storing tons of food and water
My preferred remedy is to paint eyeballs on my eyelids.
I would do this at faculty meetings except that they occasionally call on my for my input. I hate that. It means I have to pay attention to senseless drivel pouring out of people's mouths.
I hope the mainframe training isn't too dull. Do they feed you a free lunch I hope?
Oh, I'll be fighting to stay awake, I'm sure. And there ain't no free lunch.
Mainframe training? I refuse to EVER touch another mainframe for the rest of my days. My condolences.
Meanwhile, I made two trips to the house tonight. I can get some more items tomorrow, like the computer printer, paper shredder, and a box of files along with some other items. I should be able to take some more dresser drawers and maybe the two night stands Friday evening. That leaves throwing the small amount of refrigerated foods into a cooler for Saturday and then the remaining large pieces of furniture. If Blake gets a trailer, then I'll rent some moving blankets and will get it all in one trip. After that, I have to vacuum around this place and do some light cleaning.

Actually, why not? Two can live as cheaply as one.
I have a son living with me in mine.....
How far apart are your two houses? Have you thought about living together?
about 3-4 minutes walk round the block - only 1 minute when the fence is down between the garage blocks.
more rain today but not as much as yesterday apparently... so....i may or may not get my gardening job doewn thids arvo. i have cleaning morning/evening though.

But then you become one of them.

Hmm. I wonder if you could hack Alexa to make her respond to your name and speak in your voice.
