It's cold in my house and all
my socks have holes in them. Well not all of them, but I
unfolded three pairs of socks before I managed to find
two matching socks without holes. Then I put away the
clean laundry, noticing I had very few pairs of socks
left. I did not unfold them to check for holes. I suppose
I'll be surprised again tomorrow. My shirt has several
holes in it too, but I am wearing it anyway. Clearly I
need to do some clothes shopping. Or at least sock
shopping.
I checked the dictionary and
discovered that sox is indeed the plural of sock. It
didn't say anything about sleep loss. I'm exhausted and
sort of deflated, downright flattened, by watching the
Red Sox/Yankees ALCS. It was a good series but I didn't
like the way it ended. And I'm so deflated that I'm not
even enjoying rooting against the Yankees in the World
Series. At least I got my money's worth on the cable tv
service for the month.
And the turkey vulture hasn't left
yet. He buzzed me as I walked across the muddy field
between the condo complex and the shortcut road to the
strip mall where the hardware store, ATM, and bakery are.
I managed to make a whole day's outing of depositing my
check, eating a sandwich, and buying some cleaning
supplies at the hardware store. No bus involved, hence no
non-feeding of pigeons. Somehow I'm not tempted to feed
the turkey vulture.
My antique Mac is on its last legs
so I've been doing most everything on the laptop (much
newer but rapidly becoming obsolete too). Also the cable
modem software only works on the laptop, the processor on
the antique is too slow. Time to order a new computer.
Using what for money? That is the question.
