deja vu all over again



        SATURDAY 7/6/19 6:16PM- The last time I did this house sitting gig for the April’s there was some kind of accidental inadvertent screwup with the TV upstairs in the living room and I had to watch TV downstairs in what I guess is now called Linda‘s office... so on this, the third day of my 11 day visit, the upstairs TV is screwed up again--and I don’t know how it happened or how to fix it… I don’t like it, but there’s nothing I can do about it… If I tell Linda about it it will be later, before I leave...
         Dianne and I went to Hyattsville to attend a friends 60th birthday gathering… I think we both had a good time; I spent a lot of time talking to a local musician whom I did not know; I spent a fair amount of time talking to Susan Judge and her current partner...surprisingly,  I also spent a bit of time  talking to Susan‘s ex partner, Karen… at first I was a little bummed that Nancy couldn’t make it, but then I remembered that back in the old days, she often bailed out at the last minute...I tried not to act like me—that is, quiet and subdued somber… but ultimately I was me, for better or for worse… 
        As  for going out tonight, it’s probably not gonna happen… I need to save myself for band practice tomorrow afternoon, my ears are ringing enough already, and I’m kind of tired from the visit to Hyattsville...There are two  MASH marathons going on on TV right now on two different channels... One of the marathons lasts until 9 PM the other until midnight…So I will probably watch the Star Wars movie that I recorded earlier tomorrow morning...
       If I didn't mention it, the Vyvance is working again...I don't seem to have much of an apetite--if I'm eating anything, it might be because I'm bored...I don’t think I’m gonna make it to Midnight... and that’s OK by me… 
9:47PM- and now the remote control for the downstairs TV is acting funny, except that I’m not laughing… I’m going to buy a bunch of batteries tomorrow and hope that that will make a difference...
            9:56PM If I’m gonna lose BOTH TVs, I’ll have damn near nothing to do around here...I can’t help but wonder what I did to deserve this...Linda’s desktop is about four feet to my left, duno why I’m I doing this on the phone...
SUNDAY 7/7/19 9AM-I think the upstairs Verizon buttons will work on the downstairs TV...so far they have...still hoping practice gets canceled...a lot can happen between now and 12:30-that's when I'm gonna load up the car and go...
  9:25AM--I tried to remember the name of the street where Ric lives...I absolutely could not remember it--or Ric's name either...very VERY VERY frustrating, to put it mildly...but both names came to me, when I gave up trying to remember them...I'm considering praying that practice will be canceled...
  7:28PM--I wanted pizza for Dinner and that's what I got, Little Caeser's...I've got enough left over to have it for Dinner tomorrow too...I'd be very surprised if I make it to 11PM...I'm kinda watching a movie that is over at nine o'clock...I'm gonna try to make it to 10:30, but I'm not optimistic...I hope I'm wrong, but I feel as though I've got a lot to do tomorrow...
