Before anything else this morning, I have to give a HUGE Thank You to Brandon for taking care of my PC problem. The matter wasn’t as dire as I anticipated. Moving the monitor cord from one connection to another solved the problem. That still doesn’t address the lack of drive space issue, but I’m working on that. At least we’re up and running once more.
Beyond that, I need to be brief. Both Kat and I started our morning on the phone with our respective banks. She’s still on hold with hers as I type. The good news on my end is that my SSI deposit should hit sometime today, which means I’ll be able to buy groceries. Kat’s having a different matter as she’s having fees deducted from a source she’s no longer part of. We run too tight of a budget for there to be problems like this and the stress on mornings like this is severe.
The kids had a busy weekend. G decided that the entire kitchen needed to be revamped. So, while I napped yesterday, he and Tipper managed to get the dead fridge out of the kitchen, moved tall shelves from one room to the next, took out part of a cabinet, and moved the full fridge across the kitchen. There were times it got a bit messy, but they ended up with a lot more room to navigate the kitchen. I tell you, this kid has a natural knack for engineering if that’s what he decides to do.
Kat, Tipper, and I took a nice, quiet walk around Lilly Lake to end the weekend. We saw some fuzzy little goslings, none of which were named Ryan, twins having a meltdown, and one little boy was excited to tell me about the small bluegill he caught in the lake. It was a nice change of scenery from having been home most of the past week.
There is a stench across Indianapolis this week. Our dear city has been invaded by Southern Baptists. Officially, their annual meeting starts tomorrow, but they’ll spend today yelling and screaming at each other about how horrible things are in the country and that only the Southern Baptist god can do anything about it. My friend Brian sent me a link to an article written by a local pastor. I think he sums up much of the problem quite nicely in tones that, maybe, they can understand. You can read it here: “Dear SBC: Let My People Go!” And if there were any questions as to the politics of the situation, the orange felon addresses the assembly by video tomorrow, and former murder target VP Pence addresses them as well, though not on the main floor. These nutjobs are here fowling things up through Thursday morning. My apologies to all the service workers downtown who will see smaller/non-existent tips and an increase in rude, privileged customers.
I know a lot of people are upset by all the construction on the South side of town and all the potholes everywhere else. Here’s some perspective for you: A large chunk of Wyoming’s Teton Pass Road just disappeared yesterday. Now THAT is a big pothole! Something tells me it could be a while before they get that fixed.
We’re going to try to have a decent day. Kat’s still on the phone with the bank. We hope your day starts better. I’m off to the endocrinologist.
