I know it's late in the day to start a "day" thread, but whatever.
It's been a combination of all sorts of weather in the Sandhills of Nebraska today, but mostly sun mixed with heavy clouds that threaten rain, but don't deliver it. During the night, there had been extremely high winds coming out of nowhere, sometimes getting up past 60 mph. I dunno what's up with that.
I had thought there was supposed to be a high-school graduation party on these premises today, and so planned nothing else. When I awoke this morning, I learned I had the day wrong; the party is next Saturday, not this Saturday.
Oh well. Excresence happens. I suppose whenever I'm uncertain about the day and hour of something, I should check the newspapers, but on the other hand, I'm struck by that the most interesting times of my life, the most fortuitous things of my life, occurred simply because I missed the bus somewhere, and so had to veer a direction different from the planned direction.
That's how I ended up in the socialist paradises of the workers and peasants with free medical care for all, simply because I happened to notice a spare postage stamp on the desk.
And then because of an erroneously transposed telephone number, upon my arrival there, I was immediately lost, remaining on the dark side of the moon my first six days there; it wasn't so much fun for the nephews and friends, or for U.S. Senators J. James Exon (D-Nebraska) and J. Robert ("Bob") Kerrey (D-Nebraska), and U.S. Congressman Douglas Bereuter (R-Nebraska), various members of the Nebraska state legislature, some newspaper reporters, and the U.S. Department of State, but I didn't know that, and had no way of getting in touch.
One accepts, adapts, and moves on.
So as long as there's nothing urgent, I just let life go on, and hang on its coat-tails.
I went out with the soil scientist and her best friend, who lives in town here (the soil scientist, now of Lincoln, is from Maryland, and remotely related to Clare Booth Luce); it was just supposed to be one of those "lunch" things, but then they got involved in shopping.
Tired of hanging around perfume and lingerie counters, I spent most of the time outside the mall, sitting on a bench smoking cigarettes, carrying on idle chit-chat with passers-by who recognized me, or I them.
But because I can't hear, I learned nothing new; I'm sure I was told a great many things, but grasped none of it.

Cool and mostly sunny here today. Did an oil change, bought some tools, and picked up dinner. I tried to drop one of my wheels off at the wheel store to have it repaired, but they both closed before I got there. I picked up an assortment of cheesecake for desert just for the hell of it; dinner is enchiladas and rice.

Nursing my poor sick dog again. He's too weak to walk. I thought after he lived through that horrible time in February maybe he would be ok. I've begun my "on the floor praying" again.

At least I got out of work relatively "early" today--only did 10 hours. Ice packs and ibuprofen for the knees. I'm wondering what it is, thinking it might be tendonitis, but reserving that for the doc visit later on next week.

Poor little guy :(
My Luke died tonight shortly before 10:00 PM. He had a very peaceful death. I'm at peace too. I didn't want him to suffer.
Luke was my best friend and constant shadow. It will take some time, but I know it was the best for him, so I will get past this.
I, personally and with all my heart, will never have another dog. I cannot do it again.

Your dinner sounded great, the cheesecake ever better.

Damn.
I'm very sorry, DemonicUnderwear.
But God heals all, makes all whole.
Sometimes it takes a while.
