Day 4474

What day is it? Today seemed exactly like yesterday. I did all the same things in exactly the same order. I keep thinking about going out to eat for breakfast on Friday's again, but haven't started yet. It's easier to just eat another bowl of shredded wheat. It looks like I'll be doing some traveling this Spring, but I'm dreading getting accepted for anything. I should be excited about these upcoming trips, but I'm not. I'm avoiding things. Dawn and I just sit on the bed together and wait for something to happen.

I was going to call a roofer today but I forgot which one I liked a little better than the others. I have half a dozen  roofers in my contact list. They've all been out to the house and given me bids. Some were horrible and others seemed reasonably professional. They all seemed way too expensive. Everything connected with construction these days seems way too expensive. I don't want to call the wrong roofer, but I've got to do something. It's time.

The toilet repair I made the other day didn't last very long. The toilet has already started to run again. Why didn't my repair work? There are some components I can buy at a plumbing supply store, but others are unavailable. I've been fixing this thing for years, but it gets a little harder each time. Oh, well. It's probably time to just give up and get a new toilet. They say Toto toilets are good. I'm sure I can avoid making a decision a little longer though. I don't feel like making a decision about anything.

It was really hot today. I think it got up to eighty degrees this afternoon. There was certainly no need for a coat on my long walk. It was a shorts and t-shirt kind of day. Walking is just another way of avoiding making decisions. I think about things I ought to do on my walks, but I rarely do them. At least my feet didn't bother me today. My allergies weren't very bad either. It was actually a pretty nice Spring day.

I think I'm done with the star tracker for a while. The last time I got it out, everything made sense and I was able to align it properly. Now I'm trying to convince Sky & Telescope to let me write an article about it. I think I'd rather write an article about the tracker than actually use it. Maybe one of these days I'll take the tracker out at night and take some photos. I'll probably take it out to the observatory with me. There's no excuse for not taking pictures out there.

Janet went to a Dalmatian Club meeting tonight and learned that there is a new female named Dorothy at the kennel. I'll have to remember to take my camera next Monday. The rescue group has quite a few dogs now, including eleven new puppies. Sammy's puppies are all gaining weight and doing well. 

Time to make a grocery list again. Didn't I just do this a few days ago? Time flies when you are doing nothing.

Petey is today's Dalmatian of the Day
