If things go according to plan, I’ll be leaving for the big town about 50 miles away in a couple of hours. Neighbor L has an eye operation scheduled for today, and I’m (get this) the backup driver…
BECAUSE Neighbor D’s bout of the flu has turned into something worse. So much worse that they were at the hospital in the smaller town about 35 miles away all yesterday (I had to go feed horses) dealing with some sort of secondary infection he has picked up. D is not doing well.
WHICH MEANS the chances of things not going according to plan are high. The trip may be canceled. I’m all dressed up and proceeding as if it’s definitely on, including elaborate dog-related preparations, but I’ll be somewhat surprised.
I’m saying this now because in the midst of all that my connection, cranked way up to dial-up speed, is driving me bugshit and I’m tired of dealing with it. So this is probably it for the morning. Even editing this while also cooking eggs is driving my profanity to excessive volume levels. So I’m shutting down for now, when I’d normally be trolling for content. So, later.
Best wishes for your neighbors. And also for you…
Assuming that you are being punished for exceeding your allowance of megabytes, when do you get fast again?
Prayers for your neighbors return to good health. Last I heard profanity is helpful in letting Murphy know your tired of him messing with you.
Prayers up for safe travels and a return to health for D.
I suspect the answer to your question, Ben, is “2017“.
