Saturday

I forgot to lower the blinds before I left home this morning so I did not tarry after my swim, I shot home to get them down before the sun fried the entire house for the day. Made it. Whew. I was going to stop at the grocery on the way home but I'll do it tomorrow.

I have ranted and raved and stomped my feet and bitched and moaned and carried on about Ontrac delivery service over the years. They made me so mad that I finally pressured Amazon into not using them for my packages for a couple o years. But, today, on Front Door TV Network, I nearly had my mind changed.

Ontrac guy comes to the door with one Amazon box. He gets buzzed in. While he's in, two more people arrive separately. One is working the buzz in box and the other is waiting his turn. Neither is being successful. They both try the door. Locked. Go back to the buzz box.

Meanwhile the Ontrac guy comes back through the lobby. He very very carefully and deliberately opens the door using his body to block the two from tailgating in and then forces the door to close and lock before they can enter. So cool. So thoughtful. I let the HOA president and the building manager know. They deal with Ontrac and I hope they send kudos back to them.

Last night's game was a fun one. And we won. Oakland. It was hot getting there but my seat was in the shade from the start and the temperature was perfect all game. The crowd was good. No assholes saying stupid stuff behind me. The cute girl with the odd companions was back with an adorable older Asian couple. I do not know her story but she is a very excellent and fun baseball seatmate. My walk home was not hard at all and really pleasant. A lovely evening. My next game is Wednesday. Houston.

My ear issue is gone. Done Fixed. In case it happens again, I captured the timeline of how it went down.

Prior to day 1 - itching for several days inside the ear
Day 1 - hurt
Day 2 - hurt
Day 3 - hurt (but not escalating, day 1 was the worst)
Day 4 - doctor - antibiotic drops
Day 6 - better but stopped up badly
Day 7 - better but still stopped up
Day 8 - fine but still needing vibration to unstop
Day 9 - unstopped on its own while I was showering
Day 10 - no stoppage, no pain, everything fine and dandy

Today is sewing and knitting and everything else that can be done inside in air conditioned comfort.

So Susan, If you have brothers or sisters, how are you similar to them or different from them?

When we were still at home, my mother would often describe my sister and me this way... When I tell Nancy (my sister) to do something, she'll whine and complain and carry on and pitch a fit and drive me crazy and then do it. When I tell Susie to do something she instantly says 'Ok' and then never does it.

I'm pretty sure my mom went to her grave trying to decide which was better or which was worse. My sister and I share very little at all. We might be more alike than we are different but I'd sure like to think that wasn't the case.

My brother is his own kettle of fish. My Mom used to say about him Our plan was to have five kids. Then we had your brother. And then we stopped. He was into every thing always. And she learned what little darlings my sister and I really were. Ha!

My brother had an inside imaginary friend - Hossenfeffer. And Hossenfeffer had an entire army of mechanical men that lived outside the house. They did a lot of stuff around the yard. Leaving bikes and toys out and stuff like that.

My sister and I shared an imaginary friend (kind of pathetic that we couldn't come up with one of our own). I think it was the last thing we shared. Miss SippyCookie came to all our tea parties and we were pretty much tea party animals.

It's kind of hard to believe that the three of use come from the exact same parents.
