I found the transfer station with little to no problem
except the GPS or phone went away from the map but still gave me instructions
and I had to stop and reset it to the map.
I got to see some part of the town I haven’t seen in a while and it’s
pretty for an industrial/rural area. It
didn’t take long and but I learned where things go.
On the way home I called Dave. He kept me company until I got to the dry
cleaners. He questioned why I was coming
from the transfer station especially if I could have the Veteran’s Organization
come by. Why couldn’t I have waited
until the bulk pickup in two weeks? I
told him I needed to do it.
He told me on his way
to with JimK he was caught up in the traffic block on the highway yesterday. He hadn’t heard it was going to happen. I knew it happened. I think it was on Facebook or heard about it
this morning on the news. Neither of us really
called it what was but it was to protest the murder of Mr. Floyd.
He did echo the question that must be on everyone’s
mind. The police officer has been
arrested, and charged what else do they want to have happen? I said good question. I agree.
The man was arrested those who were complicit in the act were also
charge. What do you want them to
do? I agree protesting but not when
endangers other’s lives. Blocking
traffic on a major highway like it was done on 95 and route 8 will not garner
any support. It will garner anger and
disgust. If you want better laws then
you must write your legislators, write petitions, but don’t destroy what others
have built or worked for their whole lives.
You make yourselves look worse than those you hate.
I was able to get my “Faux’ fur coat and they were able to
get rid of the smell and it didn’t get ruined.
I dropped off my cape and then headed to Boston Market on route 1. I got herb garlic encrusted chicken with
broccoli, and corn. I also had the corn
bread. When I got home I put the coat
away chatted with Livia while she was making my bed and then I went and ate my “brunch”
outside.
I had to eat it quickly because it was just a little too
windy and every time I put something down it started to blow away. So I finished it inside and watched TV. Unfortunately, it didn’t stave off the hunger
noises so I made salmon. That took care
of things until I had dinner. I made pork
loin and vegetables.
Livia finished just before 12:30 and did a wonderful
job. She will be back in two weeks. She was telling me her daughter wanted to
participate in the protests. Her mother
was okay with it but her father not so much.
He was afraid it would get dangerous for his daughter. It was an interesting story.
The rest of the day I haven’t done much. I watched the NCIS marathon on Oxygen season
8 episodes. I got on the computer, and tried a nap.
Supervisor sent out a message regarding a class we were
supposed to have and it wasn’t done.
Luckily Lauren wrote back that it had been cancelled due to shut down. I did send him an email saying I would
reregister when I got back into the office or do it before but I would need
VPN.
Late this afternoon I was pleasantly surprised to find a box
from amazon and it was the battery for the laptop. It’s in now and I will have to use the
adapter charger very soon. I hope the
battery will be lasting longer than an hour.
I looked it up and I have read that indeed it can last an hour up to
6. Time will tell. At least there isn’t some silly message as I turn
it on for the day.
It is almost 8 and the sun is on the western horizon. It has been cool today and it still is. I may have to close the windows again like
last night. It was far too cold and when
I put the blanket over sky he never objected. The rest of the week is supposed
to be in the 70’s and 80’s and maybe rain next weekend.
I may watch the NCIS Marathon for another hour then go to
bed.
