my micro-blog
Could it possibly get any worse? I'm talking about FaceBook, the social media platform. So much of what I see posted there is old, outdated, and often blatantly false reports pretending to be “news.” The only reason I check FB any more is is to find pictures or news of my family and friends in real life. And there is less of that all the time.

A quiet day spent mostly inside under the a/c. If there is any truth to the weather forecast, this is mostly how I'll be spending the rest of the week.

The day almost got away from me. But it's been a good Mother's Day Sunday. Took the wife out to a favorite restaurant and she ran into a group of women who recognized her from her old hometown in the Philippines. They laughed and chatted and had a great visit. That was pretty cool!

Closing out this Saturday with a Svengoolie horror movie. He's showing a creepy one tonight that features a plague of spiders, and some really poor acting. I may or may not see it through to the end.

Another slow-moving day winds down. I did get a bit of yard work done, trimmed down 2 big weed bushes in the front yard flower beds. And I placed an online grocery order to be delivered early tomorrow morning.

This has been an okay Thursday. Nothing remarkable in the Roscoe-verse to report, but no major problems or worries either. Was able to spend 2 ½ hours working on those fallen branches in the front yard midday, and that's a good thing.

A very quiet Tuesday. Thankfully we weren't hit by the storms that had been predicted. And I was able to do my weekly laundry, though a day late.

Spent a 3-hour chunk of time out of the house (medical apt.at the clinic, then business at my bank) and away from the home office, so time management skills were exercised taking care of things here. But, all things considered, it was a good Monday.

Another day with hours of yard work. This makes three days in a row with work serious enough that I'm counting it as exercise. Tomorrow is supposed to be thunderstormy, so I'm not planning any Monday yard work.
