A great day!

No, I didn't get to everything this morning. I did do some of my work but time ran out. I had to rush a shower, get dressed as fast as I could, and hit the road with flames dancing where my wheels had been. Or, well, something like that. Actually, when I looked at the time, I must have seen it wrongly. I was at Church well before Mass. Fine, fine, I now carry one of my rosaries at all times. I have the last decade to do. Right after dishes.

After Mass, I went to my friends home. It seemed sneaking out and catting around were on the wishlist. Dinner was had, then a bit of shopping. He had need of a number of tools and wood glue. He paid for supper, being that I was pretty close to broke. No worries, that is what next time is for. Payday is just right there. Ugh, though. I need to figure some things out. I keep having one or the other of my banks refusing me access, stopping my card, or this or that. None of them can be trusted. Then again, I knew I would be cutting it nigh on to nothing this month. On the good side this coming month is a clean slate, save for cable.

I really need to get cable tv and the phone turned off. As a package, basic, it is costing over $200 a month. Tomorrow, after mass, everything but internet is going. I just haven't gotten to that. I suppose because television is such a convenient thing for clumsy moments where little else seems possible. The phone? Because I thought the bundling was keeping costs down. Not so much. Oh, sure, they will whine, they will promise, they will offer. Nope. They have been bad and will be punished. Basic cable should be no more than $60, my cable internet was the same, and telephone was $40, just last year, individually. Bundling was supposed to make those all less expensive. So how does that all go up to over $220 a month? Never mind, I'll fix this for good. Cretans.

I will set up my medicine keeper too, tonight, before sleeping. Dishes as I said, will be done. The rest of my routine needs tended, if it is almost automatic now (if I do give graces for when I simply cannot do something), oh and cat litter needs cleared. Tomorrow I simply have Mass and taking the cable box and phone/router back. I will, of course, need a new router. I may opt for a wireless one, if my research tonight yields instructions I can grok, and the safest connection setup. I hope the new modem has instructions as well. I would like to increase the connectivity, but to be honest with you, I don't think I trust their rated speeds or ability to offer those speeds on a regular basis. I think if you pay more you are... well... just paying more for nothing. Corps have gotten greedy, which is nothing new; cheating, through ever increasing cronyism as they know no one is looking, at least without winking for the right price; and stupid, they honestly seem to be over their heads in this tech goop. So, I will skip that.

Wednesday is clean up day. The commons, for the most part, is all that is needed. I really have been keeping up. And yet no matter, it seems to fall right back down. No problem, I'll just keep keeping up, catching up when needed, and doing my dailies, weeklies, bi-weeklies, monthlies, and such. It will never be enough but it does make a huge difference. Now, if I am having someone over and need to clean? Moments. It takes merely an hour or two, maximum, to have the place buffed, shined, and sparkling. Yeah, I like that. This is not all I ever wanted, but it is a small piece of it. Perhaps a beginning? Even if that is all I get, I'll take it, for now.

Good night.
