ZZZ

I had a second day off to get some of the gazillion things checked off my 2-Do list, prioritizing with the closing times of businesses for errand-runs. Being awake until dawn after nightfall has it's drawbacks when banking-hour-business needs doing.
...
I'd planned to awaken earlier than my usual n get a running start. But the town messed with my plan to get as much done as possible before work builds upon the list backlog yet again.
...
A loud, large bucket truck with an attached wood-chipper manned by three deaf guys wearing ear-phone protectors parked right in front of my place from 6 am until after 9:30. They proceeded to chop off all the branches hanging over the road, n killing many of the newly sprouted leaf branches near my deck! Now when I look out the window, all I see are the light-colored, sawed-off-circles of the x-branches...
It was so loud, despite the 80 degrees F building up here, I closed the windows n still couldn't fall asleep. I heard years ago when cops said to turn down the music, there's a town noise ordinance stating no loud noise in residential zones except from 9am to 9 pm that we citizens all have to follow or risk police action.
Apparently, town employees are exempt from town Law, due to the heat conditions. It was time to call Town Hall, but it wasn't even open yet!
...
I shouted at them to stop n about having the only hours I have to sleep ruined, but no one could hear a thing I was yelling! I was so tired n ticked off I threw a tizzy-fit for a half-hour to no avail. I just got hotter in the closed-up space, more grouchy, n managed to slam the TV remote down too hard, so it stopped working again. (Usually I attribute it's sudden mal-function to my Dad's ghost), I finally slept from about 10 to noon, n got up as a zombie trying to get my important things done, n grouchy as a bear. "GGgrrrrhhH!"
...
Got the truck's oil change, n while there managed to find an article that ticked me off more in a small local publication. There's no name on it, n I hope it's a crazy joke, but it's written in the style of a news article, n I was tired enough to be pretty irked by it. After getting out of the laundrymat at dusk I finally had something to eat n started losing ambition, so I got in more phone calls n a friend visit,
now I'm toast n half the list is left hangin! ~Yawn~
....
Here it is after 3 am. I'm ready for another nap - with no noise! That Chipper better stay clear at 6 am Weds this time! Thank Goodness it's finally cooled off here to the 60's tonight, better for zzz's.
The local water temps in the water zone of Buzzard's Bay has risen an average of 5 degrees F this week, almost up to the air temp, or what we refer to as "Bath-water" at the beach around here.
...
They're ground-spraying for mosquitos with "Anvil" in Lakeville, Middleboro, Plymouth, n Carver (off-Cape near here) today, because a horse died from Triple E last week. Hopefully it slows down the spread potential, n saves Equine plus Human lives from fatal Sceeter-bites. I'm glad I don't still have to drive through Carver n Plmouth for work anymore, as I was doing until this past June...
They recommend pets stay inside for two days,
(what about people?).
I did get a sceeter-squewer right on the butt-cheek today!
Let's hope the needle wasn't infected...
...
Oh yeah, n after I got home tonight, I tried the remote, n it magically began working again!
...
Now, off for another round of working too hard for peanuts...
while overtired... zzz ...
