A List*
<—– EDIT: the good-looking man in the picture is the English actor Sean Bean as Richard Sharpe. The BBC made a television series from the Sharpe books by Bernard Cornwell. Sean Bean was also Boromire in "Lord of the Rings."
It has been a few days since I updated.
A list:
- We had company over the weekend.
- I lost my cool over too much television noise. The older I get, the more even moderate noise bothers me. But I should not have said anything.
- I am used to having very small breakfasts and lunches and a bigger meal at around 6 pm. On Sunday we went out for a huge brunch. Then in the evenng I had two slices of what seemed like excessively salted pizza.My digestive system is still off.
- Today we have no hot water. Because it is a holiday, the gas people won’t be coming until tomorrow
- I wanted to go out for a bit of retail therapy today but decided not to when Fred reminded me it is a holiday
- I can’t go tomorrow because we have to wait for a call from the landlord who has to wait for a call from the gas people whom I hope will come tomorrow.
- I went to weigh myself this morning and the scales flashed "Batt batt" at me. No, it is not telling me I am batty but that I need a new battery which I got from the drug store when I walked up there. I also go a box of chocolate-covered raisins which I didn’t need but did enjoy.
- Something is biting chunks out of me. It is too cold for mosquitoes. Whatever it is is raising welts on me. Itching welts…
- I will be so glad when this election is over for many reasons not the least which is we will get no more calls from politicians. Not that we actually get the calls since a machine answers every time but it is also annoying to listen to four rings and then silence. However, I would also hate to listen to a recorded political message.
That’s All

The older I get, the more noise bothers me, and the more irritable I become when it does bother me.

Could the bites be spiders? Around here its getting colder and they are starting to come in.

I have noticed sometimes that I drown out the noise around me…. kind of funny, because I’m sensitive to people who talk too loud. But I will suddenly, well, “tune in” and realize my TV is too loud. Or that I’m talking too loud. And as soon as I realize it, I’m devastated and can’t turn the tv, or myself, down quickly enough.

I lose my cool over loud noise, too! And I won’t sit and abide loud television! I think you were quite justified in saying whatever you said. Gee, that is too bad that the stores were closed right when you wanted to do some retail therapy! The stores weren’t closed here, nor the schools. But the post office and banks took a day off! hugs, Weesprite
