I was out having my Exertions. Now I’m going to do dishes and laundry and stuff.

[Monkey Face]

The laundry is done on this end, and my back is killing me.

I didn’t park in my usual spot when I came back, but parked down by the mail boxes. I could park by Charlie’s but I’m afraid it would wake him and Cindy2 up when I backed out.

I just don’t understand Greg. I’m not going to make a big deal of it, though, because there isn’t enough time left here to worry about it.

By the time Ross parked on the other side of me I had to squeeze to get in the truck. Both he and Greg are parked right on the lines. They want room? They can have it.

If it weren’t for having chores to do, life would be nothing but exertions.

[Tax-chick]

It wouldn’t surprise me if a lot of people don’t have correct parking as their highest priority. DP is very picky about being perfectly centered, but since I park way away from everyone else, when possible, I don’t worry about it so much.

He’ll say, “There isn’t room for me to get out!” and I’ll say, “That’s funny, Tom just managed.”

There are six or seven vehicles parked across the street, now. With our four, movement is pretty constricted now. Sure would be nice if Bill would start hunting for an apartment ...

[Tax-chick]

Indeed!

How are you today, Bob?

[Monkey Face]

My neighbor, Cindy1, is a real fanatic about parking and I threatened once to get her a Day-Glo vest, a whistle and a clipboard so she could direct the people as they pulled in to park.

When I was unloading the truck, she came out, on her way to somewhere for the holiday and started to complain about neighbors and how hard it was for her to park when she came home last night. *waa-waa-waa*

And for a while, at the laundromat, I forgot all about the mess in my living room. BWAHAHAHA!

[NicknamedBob]

"How are you today, Bob?"

Passable.

I drive slow, you know.

[Tax-chick]

We will all get there eventually, regardless of our velocity.

[Monkey Face]

If it weren’t for having chores to do, life would be nothing but exertions.

Unless one is lazy...

[Monkey Face]

Is DP by any possible chance OCD? Jes’ axin’.

[Tax-chick]

No more than the rest of us. It’s just one of his things.

[Monkey Face]

Ah. Well, I seem to be getting more OCD as I age. But I figure I’ve lived long enough, I can just about get away with it. ;o]

In the meantime, I cleaned off the patio table and then hosed it and the chairs down, in case Charlie wants to come up here today for pizza. I’ll know in about an hour.

While I was doing that, I realized that Epic Fail Latino Lawn Service nicked my coiled hose in two places. I doubt I will get reimbursed for that, either by the manager or the Lawn Service. UNNGH!

The bed has been made, the ice cube trays have been filled and the hibiscus tea is steeping. Next on the agenda is to gather up the various waste baskets and take them to the dumpster.

[Monkey Face]

I was trying to find the picture of this, but there is nothing but the article. I don't know how to search any deeper for it. :o[ I've seen it posted but I don't recall where, and I didn't think to save it.

[Tax-chick]

You’ve been very busy! I’m going to cook some vegetables. Maybe it will be chicken salad eventually. Tom can grill the chicken.
