A long day tomorrow.

First thing, after rising, grooming, dressing, and getting going, my eyes are to be inspected. It seems the eye doctor has evil intentions and I am to be the focus of those intentions. Better now... or now? Is this better, or that? Mind if I put this probe through your iris and into your brain stem? Oh fine, then let us continue. Is it clearer now... or now? Okay, maybe I make some of the conversation up. Still I know he is going to want to dilate my eyes. I HATE THAT. From that I extrapolate what cats don't like about water. Hmmm, I may just say no to that tomorrow. They don't really need to see. Like I need another doctor trying to feed me a bushel of new bad news in any case. Grumpy I am. Do not try. There is no try. Do or do not.

After that, I have to stick around in the area until my sleep study. My sleep study isn't until 21:30, so it will be a very long dry hot day. I am not even sure where to go. A park where I could nap sounds good but I think it would throw my sleep study off. I've been looking online for places to go and things to do. Most of it is simply not my cup of tea. It seems leisure pursuits are largely aimed at cows, steers (queers), and calves. Bulls are left to our own devices. I did see a sword shop, I am sure I could locate a gun store or two, but malls, museums, art galleries, and water parks simply won't do. It's a big place, too. So finding my way around should be interesting. I guess I will have to buy a map of the region and figure it out. Hmm, that alone is something to do.

I did make it to town. I stopped at my favorite Mexican place. The food was okay. Either I was not really into food, they were having an off night, or this particular plate simply wasn't to my greatest liking. So goes trying something new on a night where hunger is questionable. I thought to do some shopping but could think of nothing I wanted to buy off hand. While I liked the notion of spending no money, I did not like the notion of wasting a trip to town. I know there are things I need.

As I was heading out of town, the rain stopped. I decided to head back in, fill up my tank, and wash my vehicle properly. After filling up and ordering the wash at my favorite spot, I noticed the car wash was out of service. I use my card so I don't have to deal with people when buying gas. Ah well, in I went. The woman at the counter did not know how to refund the thing. She suggested it would be good to some date? No deal, one of my great skills is losing pieces of stupid paper. Or I could take it to a specific other gas station, go in, have them exchange the wash for another. No, I don't like that other wash and want to deal with more people even less. Not knowing what to do, she simply rang out $8 in cash and stuck the receipt in the drawer. Good enough for my purposes.

I will have to seek help with the lawn from more local sources. The woman at the post office might be a good source. As well, I could call city hall. It depends on when I wake and how fast I can get going. It would be nice to get something going with that. I have been watching my nickels with cat care on the mind. So I have enough laid up for a decent spend if need be. Perhaps too there is an older or needy woman who would be willing to help with dishes and light cleaning. Some people, as they see the hard times hitting and getting worse, realize that $20 or $40 is much preferred to another episode of Oprah or whatever other lame programming is around. We will see.

I keep meaning to blog regarding my definitions of a few words like love, heroism, choice, hope, and faith. I might get to some of those soon. I can't say my versions will be correct, but I can say they will be better than what is often or commonly mistaken for them. I'll be thinking on them tomorrow. It isn't really for the reader, I am just trying to clarify things in my mind. Though input is quite happily welcomed.

Good night. Sleep well.
