- Sat, 13:48: RT @MarkHarrisNYC: I would eagerly read a book about just these last 10 days of Obama's Presidency.
- Sat, 16:45: There's a wait... But... There is air conditioning so I can wait, happily, until October. https://t.co/JAKOueIrmk http://t.co/UbYHq5SJ6s
- Sun, 02:50: Oh snap! The Amazon $2 no rush delivery option is back to $1. At least for me... wonder if that varies by accounts… https://t.co/7mZihEgErd

Relief... a little
Jun. 28th, 2015 10:55 amClouds have rolled in and sent the sun packing so, while it's hot out, it's not Africa hot which would make going to the Pride Parade almost doable except that our local CBS affiliate is streaming it live so... I can sit here, in front of the air conditioner and watch it live while I watch the baseball game. Win win win win
I had a fabulous swim this morning. Being able to have a stressless swim on Sunday mornings is just amazing. I tried some more water fast walking and it's still a struggle but maybe if I keep at it, my legs will reward me. I then whipped through Trader Joe's trying not to buy anything that wasn't on the list because I was starving and every single thing - even the vegetables - looked delicious. I thought about stopping somewhere for breakfast but then remembered the biscuits in the freezer.
On the way home, a dozen women on huge motorcycles peeled out of Krispy Kreme and headed, in formation, towards downtown. I'm going out on a limb here and guessing they were part of Dykes on Bikes who would be just in time to lead the parade as they always do.
Now breakfast is done but the kitchen needs to be cleaned up, the laundry started and the recycling taken downstairs. And the parade starts in 10 mins! Yikes.
And, by the way,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lookfar, the biscuits came out of the freezer, were reheated and were every bit as delicious as they were yesterday. I think I'm going to have to stop into that cafe periodically and stock up. So yummy.
My goddamn hair needs cut again. Not so much cut as trimmed. I'm looking like I have no mirrors in my house. At least my haircutter has a shop just down from the LA Fitness pool. Maybe Tuesday after my swim.

I just went to the other end of the house to put the wash into the dryer and there was a note tucked in my door. It was a really nicely written note from my neighbor next door saying that the noise from my house was bleeding into theirs. ARUGH.
It's the TV, of course, and I think I may have turned it up without realizing it so I could hear over the air conditioner which means... I have a new Summer problem.
I wrote him back instantly and told him to please let me know right away - text/phone/note - if it wasn't totally gone.
I have heard stuff from his unit from years. Except for a couple of years, it has been a rental unit. There were The Bickersons. Those people bickered constantly peppered with massive screaming matches. I always hoped they would kill each other but finally they moved which was fine, too. Then there were the bird people. LOUD birds. And, apparently, other animals who used the carpet for a toilet. When the new guy bought it, he said it was amazingly disgusting. He lived there for several years until he fell in love with a girl in Arizona where he lives now and rents the place.
When these people first moved in, I could hear the base of their music. A lot. I wrote a note and left it in their door and I have rarely heard it since. It's been a couple of years now.
I unplugged the sound bar which, I suspect is the culprit and I've never been overly impressed with it anyway. And I ordered TV Ears. I doubt they will work BUT Amazon will deliver them tomorrow and I can try them. If they do work, great. If they don't, back they go. I really don't want cans... but I'll find something. My hearing is going anyway so I might as well bite the bullet and get something that will enable me to hear the TV and make my neighbors happy.
