That quote sums up about 3/4 of my life, Brenda.
Although you can probably switch the days with years or even decades.

You've made a great turn around in the last couple of years and for that you should be applauded.

Back from my walk and sun is still out. Computer temp is reading 32C which is around 94F. Suppose to cool down majorly tomorrow. Just have to see.

Thanks Brenda.
Can't let it get to my head though. Still got my ups and downs for sure, although I'm pretty confident that the worst is behind me now.

Hung out with my friend half the day today. Haven't seen him in a few months, so that was cool.
Helped him get an awesome desk for his new home office back to his place. Proud of him for spotting that at a local thrift store instead of buying it new like I'd expect him to. $75 for a beautiful marble top table that used to sit in a law firm. A table like that would probably cost over $1,000 new today.
We stopped by the local hardware store and got that 4"x4" extension box for my garage electric that was out of stock at not one but two hardware stores by me (and I REFUSED to pay $10 for on Amazon). So now I can finally wrap that box up tight and safe.
He bought a bunch of Chinese food and we ate at my place when he dropped me off. There's enough leftovers for a snack tonight and dinner tomorrow.

Ups and downs are a part of life.
I think so too.

That was a really cool day you had SIX. And that was a great find for your friend at that shop too.

My area and actually most of the province is heading for storms and rain. So, we shall see. Right now more clouds rolling.

Yeah. They actually had another one that wasn't sold sitting right next to it too.
I'm trying to pare down my collection of things though, and I've already gotten rid of a lot of really nice furniture. I've gone 6 years without my crappy old computer desk and I don't need to be dragging something that heavy back up on the 2nd floor even though there's plenty of room for it.
I guess that law firm was trying to give away two desks that were even larger than those two were, but the thrift store said they were too big for them to handle.

"Ups and downs are a part of life"
Truer words were never spoke, BRENDA. I feel sorry for people who expect life to be as much fun as a beer commercial, all the time. How do they deal when life inevitably gets in the way?

Just an oddball event- a day after I pulled up the carrots that had bolted, over a week ago now, I think,y right forearm (the arm that I used to yank them up) got INCREDIBLY itchy. At first I thought I was allergic to carrot tops or flowers, but there are no documented cases (online anyway) of that. Then I thought maybe there was a weed mixed in, but I didn't recall seeing any strange plants. And ...it felt like I was being BITTEN. By microscopic mites, or something. So I looked it up, and indeed there are all kinds of mites that live in plants that temporarily burrow and bite. My arm is STILL itchy, with about a dozen tiny blisters (scratched open by now)
