It has not been hot here. Today's high may have hit 60 and that's the warmest it's been most of the week. Saturday it reached 53 and it's been wet; a constant drizzle.
The heat has been on because Cheryl has not been well, though sitting in one spot does not make one warm.
Eye doctor tomorrow, to see if my retina has wrinkled anymore or if the secondary cataract has grown more over my replacement lens. I think it has.
I went to an Al-anon meeting, we had gone to some a year and a half ago, but this was for me. It's not my thing; you're supposed to go six weeks before you reject it. Maybe different meetings are different; this one seemed to be more about theory; read a page, discuss how it applies. I don't know.
Almost all meetings are early in the morning or in the evening when i'm at work, very few options for early afternoon. Not sure why; if you can go to a meeting at 8 AM. you can't go to a meeting at 2 PM? People work all hours anymore.
I knocked out some low hanging plaster in the living room ceiling and am trying to put a somewhat smooth replacement. As long as it doesn't fall i'll consider it a win.
I used to hear that plasterers priced themselves out of business, but that wasn't it. They were put out of work by a cheaper technology. What an art it was. Years ago i tried to plaster another bad spot on the ceiling and it was terrifying. You have to take this pudding and smoosh it in place and smooth it out and not have it just plop on the floor. Even in our basic workers cottage, there are some amazing curves.
We turn on ourselves. Plasterers wanted too much money; I heard this growing up from other working class folk; whose turn woulld come in time.
