Cockroaches

President Nixon's Library 

It looks like my life is going to have a new twist to it. All the time I was taking care of Sweetie, I didn't have time to help others.  

Then, I was still grieving Sweetie's passing, and wasn't in the right mental state to get involved with others. Well, it seems that My Driver has other plans. 

Monday

Had a appointment with my dermatologist for a skin check. But in the meantime...

It was time for me to fog the house. I started fogging the house with home bug bombs. I started when I found cockroaches in our pantry. I tried the roach motels, and sprays. Plus there were the ants that kept showing up. Out of frustration, I decided to use these home insecticide foggers. 

How successful are they? Well, in the past years I thing I've had two crickets in the house, no ants, and a few spiders. In the garage, which I also bomb, I find bugs halfway to the house on their backs legs up. Yea, they work. Do it twice a year, spring and fall. 

Knowing that I still had things to do, it was time to do them. One of the brake lights was out on my mini suv. It was time for me to fix it. I knew that there wasn't any auto elves that would come in a fix it for me. 

This was also a good reason for me to unpack the new battery powered screwdriver I bought over a month ago. Was disappointed when I open the box to find that the saw didn't have a blade with it. Which means I'm going to have to get one before I start working on the flooring in the attic. 

The battery had some charge on it, but I don't think enough to get the job done, so plugged in the battery, and headed for the auto part store. 

While I was there, I also got some polish for Tweety. When I go to California for my birthday, daughter knows of a car show and wants to put Tweety in it. So, I'm preparing to keep her shiny bright for her first date. 

Back home, got the drill out, and went to work. Soon I had it working, and back together. It felt good to be working again. 

Had a good rest of the day, and went to bed tired. Driver wants to be ready for the next day. So, until then, I'll be traveling down the Road to New Life, Keeping my Shiny Side Up. C'ya, Luv Ya, and God bless. Arthur.

Still here and still reading. Hugs friend!

A fitting farewell.

When we were young. I've been rummaging around and found this picture of Sweetie and me. We had been married for about a year when this...
