Another beautiful fall day, and again, I mostly blew it staring morosely at the computer monitor.
The last five days I've had more hits on this journal that I ever have before. That worries me for some reason. I think that what is happening is that people are checking daily, instead of once or twice a week, just to see what's happened.
But... a larger proportion of those hits are from local ISPs...
Well, nothing of interest happened today. No calls, no lawyer... I decided to wait on that. I have the feeling that I'm blowing this out of proportion... and, coupled with the fact that I don't trust lawyers... well, I'm just gonna wait and see what happens.
I sure am feeling a lot different about going back to work, though. I feel that there is absolutely no one there that I can trust. And until last week, I trusted everybody.
Anyway, I talked to Karen shortly after noon, and she got me off of the pity pot, told me to go for a walk or something, since it was such a beautiful day.
And I really thought about going for a walk, but then I thought about missing Doggie, so I decided to mow the leaves instead. I spent a coupla hours doing that, getting very dirty and dusty in the process... but I did get the front yard mostly done. Well, I got the leaves cut up, anyway... I need to go over it again and pick them up, I'll do that tomorrow.
And I had the same old argument with Karen again this year... raking vs mulching. And since I'm doing it, I did it my way. I never could see the sense in putting leaves in plastic bags in landfills...
Then about 17:00 Steve called (O'yeah, he's back living with Kim and the kids now...I think. I don't ask questions in that direction anymore. I think that means that Bob is out of the picture again... I wonder when that happened?) to ask me for some help with his computer. I went over there and Karen was there, and I hadn't seen Lacee for a few days, so that was nice... Anyway, I got his machine working the way that he wanted, I think, and Karen and I came home.
We watched some TV and Karen was going to sleep in the chair, so I sent her to bed... now I'm watching the Cowboys and Minnesota. Well, I'm not really watching... Dallas is kicking their asses, and I wanted to see the reverse happen. Not that I really care. I just don't like Dallas... or Atlanta, for that matter. But wait! Aikman is out... Emmett Smith is out... aw, who cares. I gotta go watch it now.
Then I'll go to bed. Lotsa leaves to defeat tomorrow...
leaves should be returned to the soil, preferable close to where they fell. That's an old indian legend that I just made up several hundred years ago. Native American Chieftans didn't like to rake leaves either...
