Faster than anticipated.

A call to the phone company.  Some trouble getting through, but I am motivated.  I hoped a tech would be by in a week or three.  Nope, today.  No idea when, however, so... again... I am stuck at home.  The fee is, usually, $75~$85 (couldn't make her out, both low volume plus English as a second language as well as disinterest).  Since this is a new line, the fee is being waived.  Or... I think that is what I heard.  Fine, fine, the savings in going to landline is worth the hassle.  And they are doing good, though in covering a mistake they shouldn't have made.  The installer should have contacted me and checked.  A good correction for a bad decision only receives a limited amount of gratitude.  Still, could have been much worse.

I hope it is done earlier though. I am several days late picking up the steaks.  It would be nice to get that today.  I did show up Saturday, but was off a day and thought it was Friday.  Yeah, I know.  When you are just at flipping over and losing a day, telling which day it is becomes difficult.  It may well have been Thursday when I called in the order and Friday when I went to bed.  See what I mean?  I do well at tracking the days, these days, but there are times which are more likely to end up in failure.  Flipping days are among the most difficult, as well as getting used to medicine.  Actually, I was running both scenarios.

Still dark.  My mind is a bit klutzy.  I am waking in the morning, and sleeping fairly well and right in the mid-evening.  I won't complain.  Oh, and it is a good cool feel.  Not cold and not hot at all.  Well, and I do like the dark, sometimes, more than not.  Until I need the sun.  Actually I think I can go either way, really needing the light or desperate for the dark... more the former these last few years... as I am awake more, and enjoy being awake more.  I suppose when the heat becomes too much, and the summer draws long, that darkness is more wanted.  Or any time I simply need more sleep.

I have been enjoying Dexter.  As I might have mentioned, if our causes and exact natures are not identical, there are... similarities.  His seems to be little, personal.  If I have a major darkness, it will be global in it's reach.  The funny thing is, as I have myself I would call him... monsters to monsters.  We are the things monsters fear, should they ever think about it.  Some of them would claim things like us, most monsters consider us... blasphemous, abominations, terrible horrors.  And, yet, those who we would serve in our darkness also consider us monsters.  There is no pleasing some people.  *grins*  Heck, there is, for some of us, no pleasing anyone.  Well, I think my Lord is... satisfied, understands, knows, and is grateful in His own way.  Not sure about those like Dexter.  Though given the givens, if there were such a one, I think... there might be room.  Heck, all I can do, even for myself, is hope.  Retired or not, and for now until then, I am what I am, if I was called.

Good day.
