I’ve tried to stay interested, but my heart just isn’t in the thing.
Tonight, I’m providing technical support for a videoconference. Pretty easy, actually; set up the circuits, wait for disaster, go home when the meeting is adjourned. The catch is that I have no stake in the content, and trying to remain politely on side while a group of elected representatives discuss… I haven’t figured out what, yet. Much like watching any elected group work in the committee format. Think of tuning in one of the less volatile sessions from the national capital region.

On my way to the bus stop, walking in the rain, met a neighbour with an umbrella and a dog with a yellow raincoat. There’s something very wrong about this picture. Put another way, dogs don’t look in mirrors much, do they?

Some things are best done with both feet firmly on the ground. Or, at least, watched from there.
I may have a slight case of acrophobia. Nothing severe.

In my future, I hope to look back on this period in my life and simply shake my head. That is, I hope to be able to look back. Part of the downside of deteriorating eyesight is that blur is more than a band name.

And then we had the dreaded chickenpox. As kids, I mean. Back in those days, there was a checklist of diseases you were doomed to catch, just because you were a kid. I did catch most of them, and I was happy, because these were the “catch once and forget” category. As an adult, things were going to be smooth sailing.

While out for groceries this evening, I noticed two innovations (involving bacon). This staple of the breakfast menu is now available in resealable plastic boxes or in packaging with tear-off subportions. There, the emergency has been resolved. Back to regular frustrations.

The queue was short, the needle was long and the result was simple. One less chance of catching the flu this year. My second variety of vaccination has been adminstered and I’m ready to face the next sniffling soul that crosses my path.
