I've gotten so I hardly ever come by here anymore, and as for posting stuff on my journal, I don't really have much of anything to post about. My health is still dodgy and not likely to get better, but at the same time it's more annoying than dangerous, so there's not much point in going on about that subject. Especially as there's always someone who's gone through worse.

I've been mostly concerned with trying to get things into some sort of order around here. Among other things, there's the fact that I now have no less than three lawn mowers that don't work, and the grass in our front yard is growing like crazy. The Neighborhood Association will soon be sending me li'l notes about it, and I don't need that.

Lately we've been having drive-by visits by tree trimming crews who seem to find the appearance of our house rather attractive, with the big tree laying its branches on the roof in such a lewd fashion.

I finally cleared the Mexican petunias out of the back yard, or at least the above-ground parts, because the roots are still there, and are even now starting to re-sprout in areas they formerly lorded over.

And so forth. There's lots of other stuff I have to see about, all of which (like the above) require the expenditure of money I don't have, leaving zip for anything else. Clearly I'm "doin' it wrong" as the song goes.

Something I can do that doesn't require money outlay - clearing out some of the junk I have here. I look at the piles of "perfectly good" computer parts and equipment and it's starting to get through to me that not only am I never going to use any of it but neither is anyone else. Before I haul it off to teh recycle center, I may try running it up at eBay to see if anyone salutes.
