Not without revision, but the plans moved forward and all was tended. My friend had an appointment which made it so that going in early would not work. So, I just arrived just on time to put the X in the shop, took a stroll, had a small bite to eat, then came back and waited. And, waited and waited and waited. Whatever was going on in the shop, I ended up waiting for several hours. Further, I noticed on the way home, they added the wrong oil. I use synthetic, I have used synthetic since I purchased the vehicle, had them put it in first thing before I even drove it off the lot, and this shop has been using synthetic in the X for the last two years. Why they "forgot" I cannot say. I will be calling them tomorrow.
After I finally got the X back on the road, I checked on my friend. Though much later than anticipated, there was still time to grab a sandwich. Tasty, as usual. I had shopping to do. Often he will go along for the ride, but his foot is hurting him so he asked to be let off. I will have to go in again soon. If no sooner, than I will stop by Monday when I get the oil changed out. I will call them tomorrow. I suspect Monday but who knows, they might ask me to bring it right in. I thought these things were all computerized, oil type and such, per customer or vehicle. Oh well.
It has been chilly all day. I was starting to think I was getting more ill. No, it turns out. I had merely forgotten to turn on the electric heat in the room. Yeah, really chilly, right down to the bone. I will probably sleep better for having had a cold day though.
Sassy is acting all crazy lately. I do not know if it is a girl thing or just a normal cat thing for her age. She was fixed before maturing, though I am not sure that means a whole lot. Hormones are one thing, instinct and... other things are a whole other part of it. It is interesting to watch. I feel helpless about it and mostly just try to avoid the more psychopathic aspects of it. Yeah, she gets into a tear and it is best to just stay out of the way. Or put her in a kitty headlock. Yeah, that too.
It is past bedtime. Good night. Sleep well. Dream well. See you in the morning, or, something.
There are some hormones produced elsewhere in their bodies-- the pituitary I think perhaps--that has the effect of making them a little restless and crazy about the time that they would be going into heat (late winter-spring). Probably that. It doesn't last though. A few years of those hormones not triggering the heat and they come to ignore them.
ReplyDeleteI learned this, about hormones, though about the human body. We seem to make hormones almost anywhere we have a chemical plant. My guess is animals are very similar in this way. And, it makes sense. Biological diversity is not what any creature is about, it is survival of it's species, it's own gene line being more vital than that of course. We have redundant mechanism, barring man's fiddling, surgery, and such.
ReplyDeleteCome to think about it, we are the only species that actively works to eradicate itself. We do it chemically, surgically, politically, socially, and now it seems we are moving that into the main stream of medical "ethics". Some say we also do this through war, but I think human death is a side effect of war. War being a manner of enhancing one's own, or trying to do so, through social, political, and squarefoot living space enlargement. Besides, if it is a form of self-population control, it is a more honest method of such. God save us, we won't.
