Phone calls and more.

.

I finally made a few phone calls regarding the vehicle. I have not yet received precise enough dialogue to get me to pay the bill. One more call, today, and the decision will be made. Either the vehicle goes back or certain parameters are maintained. I do not wish to pay the large amount if the vehicle will be going back in a week or two because phone calls start coming in again. I could use that money for other things, certainly. I like the vehicle. I do not like it that much.

The house is slowly coming together. My lady friend will not be stopping by this week. She is getting behind and dropping fast. I do not think the sleep apnea device is working as well as it first did or she is not using it. She is still quite tired most of the time, if she is able to work and gets some things done aside from the mandatory items. I snuck up on her though, this morning. I woke up feeling rested and ready. Even if she had not, but partially because she had, brought me breakfast the other day, I thought to show up where she works as she was getting off and offer her breakfast. She had been planning on going to breakfast so it worked out. At least I was out of the house a bit, of my own volition, on my own initiative this week. With her not coming over, I feel like I can dig in on my own. Beside tidying the kitchen and clearing out the bedroom a bit, I have some specific goals for this coming weekend. Yes indeed.

She wanted to read her paper over breakfast, but felt odd about it. I assured her that it was fine. I only wanted to be near someone, I was not interested in conversation. She did go ahead and read, if she was surprised… perhaps worried, too. I am almost never able to keep silence. Today, I said so little as to almost not have been there. And, to some degree, I was not. I am already gone. I am used to this, it happens every time I ghost, I am not sure if she is ready for that. I am ready to just be quiet for a long time, to rest, and to think… of nothing in particular. Maybe I will find myself out and about in the woods, on a river or lake fishing, climbing a tree or cliff, or at a range. Perhaps my interest in physics, calculus, electricity and it’s doings, statistics, languages, or some other pursuit will find me at studies. I do not know, though I have some doubts. As long as I am comfortable and relatively safe, with personal legal recourse should it be required, I will be fine.

I finished up my grocery shopping after breakfast. There are always a few things that do not make it to the note or which I forget anyway. I need to be out and about for something else today, the rifle (and to take a tea jar (leaks) back). I might have lunch while I am out, and look around my favorite cooking supply store as well. I would like to find a solid, long term, gallon sized (maybe larger), iced tea jar, or two. And, I have decided to get a few going away presents for some friends. I will do some investigating tonight, perhaps. More on that later. I have a specific item in mind for two different people. I have dug into the ins and outs of the particular item and have found a suitably handsome, top rated (by function, though form is not missing), subject for the gifts. Now to see if it is still needed. The other gift is from my personal collection, and I believe it will be appreciated while I am doubly assured it is unique.

Well, time to make some calls, figure out where to go first, then when, and to get going. Oh, and a batch of shirts are getting (hopefully) the spots washed out of them. I am going to wash them all three times, one time down, in cold, spot treating between washes if I can find the spots, and then into the drier they will go. I will fuss only so much and then I will quit. Perhaps I ought to buy another shirt or three. This time, I think, 100% cotton. Poly-cotton has it’s advantages, stain removal is not among them. Good day.
