It's gonna be rainy all week long, so I'm settled in and I'm watching Netflix movies. I just got done with, "i am Sam." That was a real tear-jerker and funny too. All the characters really played their parts really well in this movie. It was so good I watched it twice.
Suzanne texted over a Youtube video link of B.J. Thomas and Raindrops keep falling on my head. It's a very fitting song for today and for the rest of the week. I always loved this song.
There's not much going on in my life today. I'm okay and sometimes I even feel that I'm walking better. It seems that by late afternoon I can walk without the use of a cane lately, but not everyday, but more days than before......so that's an improvement.
Here it is June 7, 2021 and I finally turned off the pilot light to my natural gas fireplace this morning. This has been a really weird year. It was very cold, then very hot and now it is in the upper 70's and 80's finally. I don't think that we need any more heat for now. It'll be summer in just a couple of weeks from now anyway.
Rick is at his place trying to get his mower going. He called me earlier and said that he needs two new front tires for his old new looking riding mower. He's going to weed-eat some too while he is there. I didn't think that he had much weed-eating to do but he said that he did, and he knows best about his yard. I haven't been able to help him much since I hurt my back.....well, not so much my back as my sciatic nerve in my left leg, but sometimes my back feels a little stiff too.
I try not to cry over Brian being gone so much, but it hits me in waves and I can't help it, so I write in my blog. I try to post something everyday to make myself feel better, and to sound cheerful. Sometimes it works, but every time I pass by his apartment I can't help but feel sad that he is no longer with us. I know it's crazy, but sometimes I feel like stopping by his apartment and asking the fella that now lives in there if I can come in, but that's crazy, so I don't dare do that. I know it wouldn't make me feel any better, but maybe even worse. On some days I can't even bare to look in the direction of his apartment it hurts so bad. I pray that nothing happens to anyone else in my family. I don't think that I could stand another death in my family.
Okay, on to something else before I start crying.
Rick just called me again. He's about finished with the weed-eating. He has a corner lot, and a very large one, so there is quite a lot of weed-eating to do. All of his road frontage needs to be weed-eated. The previous owner purposely created high banks all around so that vehicles wouldn't take shortcuts through his yard. There's a small wooden railroad bridge right past Rick's house and semi tractor trailer trucks try to go over it even tho there are signs posted saying that they can't.....but they try anyway and get stuck or tear down parts of the wooden bridge in trying. The road is so narrow that they then have to back up all the way back to Rick's and end up in Rick's ditch leaving deep ruts that Rick has to fix later. The previous owner had his yard banked up to keep the semi trucks from backing up in his yard and tearing it all to hell.....now they just tear up the ditches. Last week the State Road Dept closed down the old RR Bridge and put up yellow cones and lit up signs with "ROA.D CLOSED," on it. I guess they decided not to fix the bridge anymore and are going to make a new road somewhere else. That's what I read online.
Well Jybow is crying for me outside so I better go out there and pet her for a while and give her some attention. She's my old cat and needs lots of attention. She minds Rick really well, but from me she wants attention and some love and hugs.
