Ten-Finger Exercises

old habits, etc.

My old habit of blogging pretty regularly has been ignored for so long now that I almost forgot to get here in time tonight. Considering that we're paying bills at the moment, I may not be here for long without having to look up something. I started to say without having to go defend myself, but that wouldn't be true. Bill never makes pointed statements about my spending too much. He will, however, comment on a balance by saying, "Looks like we had a lot of fun there." Sometimes he says that wryly.

(Yea! I haven't forgotten all the emoticon tags!)

Tomorrow I will probably have some time to read blogs and catch up. I'll be waiting for the Sears repair man to come make my washer work again. On the Saturday before Christmas it agitated all day before I noticed that the dial hadn't moved a speck. I thought Bill had stopped the machine before he got in the shower and then started it again later.

I had a very long call to a service provider whose accent sounded as if the contract was outsourced, but I could hear other phone conversations in plain old American English in the background. He asked me if I preferred morning or afternoon, and I told him morning, since I have a meeting tomorrow afternoon. Then the message that was left today said the repairman will be here sometime between 8 and 5. What do you bet it isn't 8?

So, see you all tomorrow, most likely. That will be a treat for me.
