19 Mayo 17

An incredible three (3) day stretch and this could be it. With 17 (prime) sandwiching magic 18 followed by ANOTHER prime (19), I am thinking SOMETHING MUST be up. But let me check … standby …

I actually thought about an entry yesterday and wrote bits & pieces while taking a brutal bike ride. Into the wind on three (3) legs of the block which seems impossible to me but has happened before. The wind is so strong one has to pedal to go downhill which REALLY is discouraging.

After the opening shift at the grande orange box yesterday, I got some much needed supplies and promptly settled in at the casa. Specifically Studio G and made dust & chips in a marvelous symphony of creativity. Six (6) different shorebirds, three (3) species patterns which will all be painted differently. One tropical fish a large sergeant major also took shape.

Carol stopped by to pick up some books & articles she loaned me before she took off for a month on cruises and such gallivanting.

No word yet from Emma but still not an alarming condition.

After I had breathed enough sawdust, I fired up the spa, opened a brewsky and took a short nap amongst the bubbles prior to the sun slipping behind Roger's roof.

DON’T YOU KNOW HOW DANGEROUS THAT IS TO SLEEP IN THE SPA ?

Yes Rebecca. Thanks for your concern but call me a thrill seeker. Maybe one could find a worser way to make an exit.

OK. Must return to the battle ground.

Insurance claim emails going back & forth, the ac repair is now in the loop and a higher priority. The minor issue with the appraisal protest was solved yesterday AND won (!). I discovered a small typo at the last minute that would have knutzed up everything and because it was hidden from view, I NEVER would have figured it out. But I did, which bought me time to file the protest electronically which buys me still more time. End of May so now even with the Colonial next week I can request a hearing, gather my data, attend the hearing (later), plead my case and THEN win THAT battle big time maybe even the war.

Must do laundry today, plan around work-work this weekend. Looks like Mass Saturday which is optimum.

Some job hunting calls and life will go on at least until supper.

I am leaning towards fish, perhaps a cocktail around sundown, maybe even a spanap if it doesn't rain by then.

Squeeze in bike ride before it decides to rain.

Carry on at your end por favor.
