Cut Off

A whole week was just spent wondering if that previously mentioned plant was Sharon's Rose, n I was unable to check it online or go back to correct it...

Well, at least I remembered the first n last letters.

I could've unconsciously been avoiding using the name Sharon, because I once had a dear friend with that name when my kids were young. Several years after the last move 30 years ago we permanently lost touch. I wonder whatever happened to her...

It was a bit upsetting to me she never called me back after I decided I couldn't afford to purchase a water filtration system she was trying to sell...  

Be warned sales personnel, I'm the hardest sell in the book you'll ever encounter. I've turned down so many pitches, including vacuums, cemetary plots, n once told a heat sensor detector guy I'd rather die in the fire than pay $800 dollars for the system he was selling... Never mind it was for an apartment I soon moved from.

I'd rather have copper wire phone service that works when the power is out, than fiber optics you pay electric use for n the squirrels eat every other month, dependability being the point. Right up to the last week in the old house I had to argue with repair guys that I did not want the Fios line...

But not having any (already paid for) cell service in my free time is really slowing me down paying bills n keeping in touch. I hate making calls while at the store or in public too. The library here cuts you off all day after your one hour, even if no one else is using the computers. I posted that last week's post with less than 3 minutes to spare, btw- n the one hour is never enough.

The dvd player provided here with the cable won't work after fiddling with it again n again. I want to see my movies n can't do it yet. A long summer without my treasured collection to take comfort with. Star Wars would really be nice to escape re-runs with now... Especially the music. Comfort has totally escaped my life lately. Everything has become very inconvenient. 

I have been feeling very cut-off from everyone n everything I'm used to. Luckily I needed more quiet time to read books, but still- it feels like wasted free time! Also it's very tough being totally quiet after work when I want to unwind n everyone here is asleep. I want to walk around, garden, speak, n sing music, but I have to be stifled to be considerate.

At work I've been aggravated beyond belief recently. I can't believe I haven't quit with all I've had to put up with. These few things are making summer seem way longer to go thru, n there's 3 weeks left to endure n try to get to the beach down the road.

Hope yours is going better than mine-
