For better or worse, my consumption level has been indicative of my current mental state: the more stressed/depressed I’ve been, the more I consume. But in the past six months or so, I’ve been finding myself consuming the wrong type of content. I’ve been too focused on certain things, and ultimately have come to the conclusion that many often do – this isn’t healthy.  

I am right there with you.

…Long long time ago, I can still remember

How that music used to make me smile

And I knew if I had an iPod

That I could make people dance

And maybe they’d be happy for a while…

… So bye-bye, Mister iPod bye

Drove my Chevy to the levee

But the levee was dry

Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye

Singing, “This is the day the iPod died”

This is the day the iPod died”

Me: Marley! Rice, potatoes, or pasta?

Marley: Pasta!

Me: Okay! What piece of chicken?

Mar: How about cow?

Me: Well, I don’t like to defrost cow in the microwave, so let’s put it out for tomorrow.

Mar: What type of chicken do we have?

Me: We’ve got tenders and thighs.

Mar: Chicken thighs. I’ve never had tights before.

Me: Of course you have. I make them all the time on the grill.

Mar: On the grill? I love it, you make the best grilled everything.

There you have it, peoples. 😂🥷😎

Okay, it is supposed to be spring. You know, flowers and trees blooming, birds chirping, some may say even love is in the air, etc. Although the weather has shown me that this is totally bullshit, however, every once in a while, we do have some nice days, ish. I guess at this point I'll take what I can get. Like Saturday morning, it wasn't particularly nice, not too warm but sunny, enough to finally, do some yard work.

I get my mowing attire (sunglasses included), get the mower out (still gas like an animal, apologies) and my super-not-fancy electric weedwhacker. I always like to start with the weedwhacker, trim the edges, around the curvings and all. Once that part was done, I go to my mower and check the gas level, I also check the engine oil, and all looks fine, time to mow.

Except, for the fact that the pull line snapped! 

Well, that's relatively easy, all I need to do is buy a new line and replace it. Right? A quick stop to my local Low's, and about 5.00 USD later I have a new line. Go home, and installed the line, and it is not retracting. Why, why is not retracting? Well, after further investigation and some frustration, it turned out that the little peace that would hold the coil in place for the rotor to retract also snapped.

So, bout 35.00 USD later and the magic of internet search, I am getting the whole new top assembly. And now I will have a spare pull line.

Also, I gotta add, even if I were successful in replacing the line with no other issues, by the time I got back from Low's and installed the new pull line, the sun was gone and we had a storm. And the rest of this week doesn't look very promising either so who knows when I'll get my yard done for sure, laugh-out-loud.

I love traveling for work, well, not like love, love but I don't mind it. What I do mind though, is travel expenses reports. For weeks I had these two receipts, in my car, apparently and to my best knowledge, safe and secured. "I must not lose these". Well, guess what, them two receipts, I have secured them out of existence! So secured that I cannot find them.
