Mail, Laundry, Life

I picked up mail for the first time since the move, how long has it been? I found a cancellation notice for my car insurance but I think I paid that and after calling, I verified that I did. Then I found a check from the electric company for $57. yay for deposits, though I could have sworn I had more on deposit. They probably used the deposit for the last month's bill since I don't think I got a auto-pay notice that it was paid. There's also an offer to lower my car payment but that is often a come-on advertisement so I'll ignore that. Would be nice to lower the interest rate and payment if I could. Maybe I'll ask at my bank or shop around. There was a whole bunch of other mail that I have no interest in, I think. I know, it doesn't get much more exciting than this, aye?

I finally did laundry. Softball stuff is clean and some pants and T-shirts are clean. They'll dry overnight and maybe tomorrow I will throw another load in. I wonder if the washer can be heard in the other apartments in this house. If not, I would get more done since I am on a nocturnal schedule. I'll ask the neighbors next time I see them. I've started taking after midnight showers so if that water doesn't disturb them, maybe the washer won't either. The water passes through pipes in their laundry room, but their bedroom is on the other side of the house.

As I previously mentioned (ranted might be more accurate), softball was not fun tonight for many reasons. Click on the link for details, but after venting my love for (addiction to) softball is right back a-ok and I am ready to play again. Let me also remind myself that I really need to get back to some other forms of exercise to balance the exercise this body is getting. Helping Curly with lawn and yard work is different exercise, but I don't do that more than once a week and the body needs more aerobic and more upper body strength exercises. Did I mentioned I haven't done a real sit-up in decades? Maybe longer? and I haven't done a push-up in at least a few years. So consider this reminder (and almost reprimand) a wake up call (I've only done this a thousands times since I lost the daily workout routine). The body is calling (however inconsistently and ambivolently).

Life is busy much of the time. Six nights a week I have things to do with other people, though every time I am still eager to do more and share more when the activities are done. The insatiable hunger to share and play and be with someone almost all the time (all the time?) is growing again and I still don't know enough people with as much free time as I do but more, I don't know anyone wanting the share as I do. Especially in the middle of the night. So I write. And I read online. And I facebook and play games with the computer and phone. And I repeat myself here again and again just to keep myself company.

Anybody interested? :)
