Just small talk

I've been ill for a few days.  I don't know why, but I've been sick more often, more intensely this year than the previous 5 years put together.  I don't know if it's my age or stress or just because it gives me something to whine about.  Anyway, I'm feeling better now.


The blogger spellcheck isn't working for me this week. If I misspell anything, it's blogger's fault.


Is it hot enough for ya?  Nobody has said that to me yet this year.  Despite temperatures soaring past 100.  I guess it just isn't funny when it gets this hot. 


I got a new tire today.  You know that tire that I always think looks flat?  I had it replaced today.  I don't know why they didn't do that the first time they fixed it back in May.  It cost less than $25 to "fix" it, but since it wasn't really fixed I could have just thrown the money out the door and got the same result.  Anyway, I called the Ford dealer this morning but they copped an attitude and told me to call them back when I knew what I wanted.  Well, what I wanted was to be treated with a little respect, so I went elsewhere. 

While I was waiting for my new tire at Goodyear, a woman came in for service.  The first thing she did when she got to the waiting area was to snatch up the TV remote control.  I thought she was going to turn on the TV which was fine with me as I was getting tired of reading my book (a text book, not a pleasure book).  However, she didn't turn on the TV.  She just hid the remote so the rest of us in the waiting area couldn't use it.  Some people are so strange.


I went to the remodeled Target store today.  It is pretty and bright and probably better organized than before, but I wore myself out trying to find where things are at.  And they raised their prices so I could help pay for the remodel. 


I've lost one of my cowboy DVD sets.  I can't find Stories of the Century anywhere and I haven't even watched them yet.  But the good news is that while I was looking under a chair for them, I found my shoes.  I had no idea that I had kicked off my shoes in the living room, much less that they were under the chair.  Heaven only knows how they got there! 

I don't know why I thought a box of DVDs would be under a chair.  It's not the most logical place to look, but I'm glad I did.  Sometimes things work out for me in strange, but simple, ways.

I think that may describe me.
