Unhappy Thursday

Not amused. If internet connection isn't straightened out soon it's gonna be a rough end of the month. My tablet connects but it's very hard to do anything on this website. It also has battery problems. It's good for Messenger though.

Temporarily? connected with my Chrome-book it seems.

48 degrees at midnight.

Got out of my place before I had coffee. Friends meet at 9 am. at the Break Espresso Thursdays. I met with David, Ben, Monte, Kathi and Willie. Now I'm using the internet here to quickly post an entry. Internet at home has been iffy. My tablet connects but except for posting a message or checking news it's a pain.

Went home in time to sit with Billie Jo and Angie. Angie leaves at 1 pm.

Now at home... no problem connecting to internet.

I checked on contest entries due by Monday. I need to recheck and finish. I fear it's going to be another month writing-wise.

67 warming degrees at 1:42.

The river has risen and will be above flood stage. Not the mega-flood of three years ago, just a spring melt flood. We had almost 2 inches of rain after almost nothing the first 2/3rds of May. Of course, that much can fall in a couple hours in Oklahoma but here that's a lot.

A cool temperature in summer but feels hot after winter. Odd isn't it how we react to heat and humidity?

Parking this here:



The music is "Wind" (Lom) and very bittersweet it is.

I'm sipping coffee trying to remain vertical. I was fine this morning. I'm feeling feint. Not good. It's only 5:19 and I could go get groceries, although this is a bad hour to go. I need to check out whether cafes have their indoor seating. I need to get out more but I want to sit down. I'm not a $5 desert latte drive-by type of person. I'm not in a hurry. It's a humid 72 degrees at 5:22.

"tagelied" = two lovers separating at sunset (German)
         warning to depart and lament at parting and the lover's final permission.
         aabbcxc or musically a AAB strophic form (minnesang)

"serenade" = evening poem/song
"reverdie" = arrival of spring (French)
"Wechsel" = an indirect call and response (German)

66 degrees at 9:22.

I'm 'manic' and worn out. If I'm not careful I will crash and burn. Tonight I visited Travis, chatted too much, and drank yerba mate. And Maya gave me a sandwich. I am blessed, wired, exhausted and fat.
