Car and Clocks

I was supposed to go for a massage today and, guess what, my car wouldn’t start.   {This happened to Beth on the last scheduled day!} Anyway, I called her and we rescheduled for next Sunday. Every time I call AAA, I remember my sister telling me to sign up because, she said, it was worth every penny they charged! Anyway, a man in a van came out and found my battery was dead. He recharged it and he and I together were trying to decide why it was dead.  I left a message at the usual mechanic I go to and I hope I can get a slot on Monday. The AAA person also suggested that I get the alternator checked. I hope it is not that because from what I have heard, replacing that is an expensive job…

Well, this morning I found that all my three computers and reset the time properly but that *I* had reset my watch incorrectly before I went to bed!  For some weird reason, although I was quite aware it was "fall back" I put it forward an hour.  I haven’t changed all the devices in the kitchen that have timers but I can do those while I am fixing supper which is left-over stew from yesterday.  { I find it difficult to fix a small amount of either stew or chili. } The clock that Fred always used to do is the Audubon bird-calls clock because it has to be reset in a certain way so that the right bird sings at the right hour. The instructions are on the back so I will tackle it tomorrow.

Very slowly, I seem to be getting better in both my body and in my mind…

Anything that’s human is mentionable, and anything that is mentionable can be more manageable. When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary. The people we trust with that important talk can help us know that we are not alone. ~Fred Rogers (Mr. Rogers)
