Having difficulty keeping track of the day. I forget what day it is and the whole time difference really screws me up. I try to keep track of time there so I can phone J at an appropriate hour and do some banking on the phone too. It’s weird to initiate a bank transaction on Tuesday, but not be able to verify it till Wednesday when I can look at the Tuesday activity. If I initiate a transaction at 10hr my time, the bank in NY hasn’t opened yet, I can’t call them until about 15hr when my day is finally cooling off they are just getting to work. When I check e-mail in the morning it’s all stuff from the previous day. Ok, enough of that, it’s making me more confused.
It’s 17hr and school is getting out. All the traffic down this narrow street scares the holy crap out of me. I just know someone is going to get hurt, but no, everyone remains safe; they must be used to it.
Today’s topic is lizards. I grew up in So Cal I don’t know about you IL people but we had lizards in So Cal. Little brown ones whose greatest entertainment was that if you grabbed their tail to trap them the tail would come off in your hands. The lizard would escape and grow a new tail. Honest. Well there are lizards here. Same kind or a close cousin. I discovered them the other day on my walk and really didn’t give them much thought. Today however one was on the window ledge sunning. I took a handy piece of cardboard and shooed it away so I could close the shutters. It made me wonder if that was another one of those things I should worry about getting in the house. Then as I was hanging a load of laundry out to dry (getting the hang of this hanging stuff out thing) in the garage I saw one. In the garage! I always leave the door between the garage and the office open for air circulation but now I can’t. I’m hoping he was just misplaced, I opened the garage door and he darted for sunshine. Spiders are bad enough.
A special note to my IL ya-yas. Hellooo out there, is anyone there. I e-mailed this link to you all and have held up my end of the bargain, aside from my friends V.E. and M.M. I haven’t heard from any of you. A brief hello in the comments would suffice to let me know that you are reading and still alive.
