The Day Saturn Exploded (Update 400 Days!) in Hello

In my continuing saga of everything dying in my wake, the Saturn’s battery is dead.

Uh…that’s my fault.
Hasn’t been driven in a while.
I know, I know!

There were jumper cables in the trunk at one point. But many a year and many a hand have been all over the properties. No idea where they are. Argued about cost with mom for jumper cables to, you know, keep a SPARE VEHICLE going but that was shot down. That satisfying feeling I got after I reminded her my dividend check came in yesterday so that I will be getting them.

Ah, dopamine hit!

If you think that is extreme I was sent out last night for over $20 in sweets. She’s obviously has thrown caution out the metaphorical window about her diabetes.

It is no secret that things are very tense in my world.

I’ve taken to what I call Rage Cleaning.

Whenever she pisses me off I grab my headphones, pick an area and start working on it.

Yesterday and today I manned out in the sun with a shovel, rake and broom. The big oak in the front yard has demolished the driveway in the twenty-five years I’ve lived in this house. Through rack and crevice, root has taken to plant. Sweat poured from my brow as I struck the spade against concrete and earth, digging up years worth of disrepair, raking all the detritus into the recently mown lawn. Using the two old recycling bins, I made a compost pile with years of dead leaves and dirt from in front of the broken garage door.

It’s 82 F
Regardless of protests, I will now do my garden. The work around the house is getting done, the years worth of neglect is finally getting tackled and it hasn’t looked nicer since I can last recall. I’d like to see her move faster than a shuffle now to try and stop me.

Just finished Deathly Hallows.

That was a very good series.

I related to some key points.

My knees ache.

While dicking around on Reddit I noticed my counter on r/stopdrinking is at 400 days!
