Happy Toosday!
It was a chilly, wet, and rainy 67 degrees at the park this morning. Not surprising that only 3 of us showed up. I wish I had grabbed my hoodie on the way out.
Messy, messy day yesterday. We had a storm hit around 4:30. Power was out until 7:30. My tree lost a ton of branches. One hit my truck but no damage that I can see. However, my poor neighbor, just got a brand new bright red 2021 Camry. He probably hasn’t had it for 2 weeks yet. It was not so lucky; it has a big dent in the back end. Most of the branches off my tree landed in the neighbors’ yard, huge pile, higher, than my head. Also pulled his wires down, but he still has power.
He thinks my homeowners’ insurance will pay for his car, but I’m not sure. I’ll call them, but I think they are going to say his auto insurance will have to cover it. I’ll pay the lawn guy to come out and clean up the mess. Not today though, it’s still raining.
I’m luckier than some, my friend’s stepchildren’s mother’s tree got struck by lightning, half the tree is in the street and the other half is resting on her roof.
Another friend was out when the storm hit, he said driving was like playing dodge ball with branches.
Sah-son got a job in a warehouse. My friend told him to come in for an interview, and so he was hired. Basically, all he needed was a pulse. Everything up here is desperate for help. The pay is not too bad, $19/hour to start. (as opposed to Tractor Supply, which is paying $26.60 if you work weekend nights) Good benefits. It’s hard irk though, on your feet for 12 hours. The schedule is weird too, 3 days on, 4 days off, 3 days on, 1 day off, 3 days on, 4 days off, 3 days on, 7 days off.
If he ever irked a full shift, well he still couldn’t support me in style. If they get done early, they can leave, so he has yet to irk a full 12 hours. He told me to take his checks and apply them to the principle of the mortgage. It’ll be his house when I go, so the sooner it’s paid off the better.
He chose the night shift, since he likes staying up all night and sleeping through the day anyway. I have a hard time sleeping the nights he irks. Every little noise wakes me up, and I never know when he is going to call for me to come get him. He’s supposed to get off at 7am, but he has called me as early as 3am to let me know he’s done.
Adam is doing well. He hates me. Ever since I tried to pill him that one time years ago. The outside cat is Antlers, the one with the half missing white tail. She is still very shy, can’t get near her. Echo is coming up on 2, and she is not so hyper as she was. Very bratty, though. Ripple is just chill as ever.
The Humane Society up here just raided a hoarder house. They took out 91 dogs and 21 cats. It looks like most of the dogs are some kind of terrier mix. Very cute, and most of them looked to be well fed and healthy. I think about putting in to foster one or two, but then I’m not sure. My yard isn’t very big. I know Ripple would be cool with it, but Echo has a tendency to get a bit nasty to other dogs she doesn’t know.
We have to go out to pick up groceries today. It’s so yukky out there, but Sah-son goes back to irk tomorrow and needs stuff for his lunch.
I’ll call the insurance company around 10. I think that is when they open.
Have a fun trip MetalMouse
Sorry about your friend Swampy
How scary is that crap Nettie
Also, if you ordered something for Prime Day, know I hate you.
