Month: June 2021

… and I am relieved. It brought back bad memories of high school and what they now call late adolescence. It was quiet in the neighborhood. No big party next door and the people across the street seemed to be gone for the weekend.

Ron took Teddy for a walk this morning, saving me the bother. I took him for a short one later. Teddy seemed happy to be in his run, at least for a while.

I started cleaning the gutters in the back. Ron was not pleased: surprise! In fact, Ron isn’t pleased with much of what I do these days, whether it’s helping him with his dressings, which we changed this morning, or the settings on the thermostat.

Three loads of wash today. I hung one-plus on the clothesline. Perfect day for it: 86 or so.

Ironic that if the federal capital gains tax owed had been what I thought it to be, we’d be paid up by now. Maybe we’ll be done in a year.

Walked Teddy a couple of times, Ron walked him once. His mug arrived yesterday.

Teddy bit Ron TWICE yesterday. The first time when Ron tried to drag him into the house by the halter. I waited for Ron for two hours at the damnable Falmouth walk-in center while he got stiches. His left arm and right leg were injured.

Later, Ron tried to pull out a bath towel that Teddy was resting/sleeping on, and he was bitten again. Ron’s entire left arm is wrapped in ace bandages at this point.

I am ready to rehome Ron.

James has started work at a brand new medical marijuana facility in Sandwich!

Wanted to replace the phlox that I think was destroyed by an overzealous weed killer application so went to Centerville to pick up a big clump that was advertised on Facebook. Returned a library book on the way.

Being near Hyannis, I got thread for mending projects at JoAnne’s and did a small shop at the Marstons Mills Stop & Shop. They carry miso!

Dumped a pile of weeds at the transfer station. Later on, cleaned out the truck.

Ron did laundry and hung the clothes out to dry. Did a pretty good job, too. We took turns walking Teddy.

Putting together paperwork for transfer station stickers, I discovered that Ron let the registration on his van lapse. I renewed it for him online.

Watched a 3-hour Planning Board meeting. Mashpee Commons’ plans to expand have been kicked around since 2018. Still no numbers on how this project will be self-sustaining or its impact on other businesses. Disappointingly, retail seems to be its economic anchor. They are looking for a 25 year contract with the Town and the Cape Cod Commission. Plan to have over 1100 housing units, some of which will be in 4+ story buildings.
