No Dryer

 The dryer part now won't be here, I'm told by the store, til middle of next week.  Maybe.

I'm pretty much done with any hope it will ever come.

It is depressing.  I had to quit doing laundry since it doesn't work to hang things up to dry.  They don't dry.   It's not easy to quit doing laundry with so many cats and cat bedding needs washed routinely. 

I will spend the weekend trying to repair the  old part. Its supposed to pour rain anyhow.  I have to figure out how to glue together a very small broken hard plastic piece well enough so that it can withstand twisting torque.

Today, I'll just think on it, try to think of various ideas.

I took the bird lady to a couple cemeteries this morning so she could put flowers on relatives graves.   She has lots of relatives buried around the valley area and north.   I thought of my own family and have no idea if any of them are buried or were just cremated and strewn or what.   Our family/extended family is not a family that cares that much about one another, to even know where someone is buried or if they were.   Let alone put flowers on gravesites if there are any.

I don't figure its of much importance to have a coffin and fancy gravestone alongside other family after I die, since I don't have family, for one thing and the other thing is how much that shit costs.  LOTS!  I'll be cremated and scattered, if not just general cremation cause I have no idea who would even scatter my ashes somewhere.  It doesn't bother me to know that.

She seems to be walking better now.  She had borrowed a friends walker that has big wheels and its so much better than that one she has to pick up each step. With her friends' walker she could go all over, even on grass.   It also has a seat, if she wanted to stop and sit, a cup holder, and under the seat, some storage.  Pretty nice!

Slinko is doing great after surgery and already dry food, even though he could eat the wet food I have out too for him.  He has always liked dry better.   I'm very happy he is on the road to recovery.

Well, I got myself into the dryer bind by ordering from a local store, paying for it in advance, instead of just getting one two day delivered from Amazon or Ebay.   I'd just cancel and order somewhere else if it weren't now a holiday weekend and I already paid for the part and I can't afford to pay for a second part.  They're super expensive.  I'll have to wait it out, but if its not here by Tuesday I've decided to go to the store and request a refund, then order it from somewhere else because if its not here by Tuesday I seriously doubt its ever coming.  That's life.
