Song: “On The Road Again” by Me First and the Gimme Gimmes
Mood: 6
The week has gone pretty well so far. I heard this afternoon that my uncle had some scheduled surgery and it went well, which was fantastic to hear. He’s already been through a lot but he’s a very positive person and I think that helps.
I didn’t get together with WG on Monday. My stomach and I had an argument and I lost so I called and cancelled for this week. Hopefully we can get together next week to go to the record store.
I watched Westworld (the old movie) yesterday. It was pretty good but every decade has a particular kind of cheese and the 1970s really shows up in this movie. Not the end of the world, but yeah – if it comes back to the theatres on some retro night, don’t bother bringing the kids. I think they’ll be bored.
I’m doing battle with a wasp nest that’s hidden under the driveway (I think we found out when one of the wasps stung J). I put some powder down the other day and after a day or two the wasp traffic stopped, but it’s starting up again and it looks like they’ve made another entrance to their nest. I put down some more powder again this evening. Hopefully that’ll work – if not, I’ll see if we have any of that foaming wasp nest killer stuff.
A couple of days ago, J brought home a plastic bottle with a water sample from a watercooler. I took a look at three samples under the microscope and there was a ton of stuff in it. Some clear stuff that I figure is just lint or something, some greenish-brown stuff, some thick opaque stuff, and something that looks like it may have been alive at some point. She didn’t drink from the water cooler and I think that’s a good move on her part.
I spent some time today tinkering at my electronics bench. I’m amazed at how much of it I’ve forgotten. I’m hoping to pick it up again, maybe try to build something useful. We’ll see.
It’s really nice out this evening. If it’s like this tomorrow I think I will be going for a motorcycle ride around the neighbourhood.
I’ve been anxious all day. I think a lot of it has to do with my uncle, but I’m not a hundred percent sure. I tried listening to it to see if I could tease any more information out of it but had no luck.
Stay safe!
