No Pepper Place

 Tommy and I both got up to go to the bathroom at the same time--6:45. He asked if I wanted to cancel Pepper Place. So, I finally went to sleep and slept until 1:30. I have been lethargic, sleepy since then. 

We got an Arby sandwich and sat in the park while we ate. After that, we drove around two neighborhoods to see decorations. I know, boring. The weather was perfect, 74F, not much breeze, brilliant sunshine. 

Best part of the day was when I had three scrambled eggs for dinner, two sausage patties, and milk. Salad was later. Blueberries, green grapes, yogurt were later.

It was a low-key day. I told Tommy not to allow me to sleep in my chair, to wake me. He harassed me to keep me from sleeping. If I napped so late, I knew I would not sleep tonight. 

Oops, I forgot that I decluttered just a bit. A bit each day will soon be a big decluttering.

My laptop now tries to carry on a conversation with me. I told CoPilot to go away, finally to shut up. That experience unnerved me. Does AI try to verbally interact with you?

Call to Police and Other Stuff

 Even though we planned to have the rest of the pork roast and vegetables for dinner, we had something else. I had a pizza with goat cheese, tomatoes, and herbs that looked good and needed to be eaten. Well, the taste was off, not bad, just not "right." After I ate, I read the ingredients. It turns out the pizza had a cornmeal crust, and I think I want that type crust from now on. Salad accompanied our pizza. The carb count was too high!

The allysum and bachelor buttons seeds I sowed in a pot outdoors have germinated. I hope being in the same pot works. This success feels great. 

We were in the park today when a police vehicle pulled in. After a few minutes two other police cars car roaring and and all three went fast down the park road to the other end of the park and then turned around and came out slowly. The end where they turned around is sort of a little circle, right where we turn around. So, we went down as we were headed there and turned around, too. Beyond the park is a utility facility, lots of lines and boxes. 

Tommy said there was a guy beyond the park fence, slowly going out of sight as he went down as he walked...into a ditch or downhill. We were not sure. As we were headed home anyway, I determined to call the police and tell them what we saw. I sort of felt like it was not our business and had nothing to do with the reason the police were there. But, I still was going to call.

However, I looked at plants outside, rushed in to use the bathroom and sat down to watch tv. We saw this at 5 pm and it was almost 6:30 when I remembered. But, I called anyway. The dispatcher was very interested, wanting to know his ethnicity and what he had on, all this beyond what Tommy saw and I reported. So, I suppose we saw something important. It's just too bad I did not remember to report it in a timely manner. 

I have voiced many times the fact the park could be scary if the wrong people came in to hang out. Hopefully, this was an anomaly. There are eight ball fields, tennis courts, basketball courts, a walking track, outdoor exercise stations. And, on the other side of the park drive is a children's playground. There is a party room, a senior center, and the EMS and ambulances. Gunshots would ruin my day. 

Then, we watched television, had dinner, and watched more television. I made a few phone calls with some success. Tommy only wants to buy milk after the gallon is empty, so we had to go to Publix for a gallon of milk. That was our mundane day. But, I can do without excitement. 

What did you do today, exciting or mundane? Dinner? How are your flower and food plants doing? Do you ever feel the need to report suspicious behavior to the authorities?
