Dark

I was out for my evening walk around the neighbourhood in the dark. I saw a guy standing on a lawn with a dog. I thought it was someone I had seen before, and I said, "Good to see you again." He replied, "Good to see you again too". But I had never seen him before, and I didn't see him this time either because it was dark.

USB

 

After reconnecting Barb's computer to the WiFi, Barb had to find her open websites again. But now the keyboard didn't work. I tried my usual trick of opening a LibreOffice Writer file and start typing, but that didn't work. I tried restarting the computer and doing the LibreOffice trick again, but that still didn't work. Then I looked up the problem on my laptop and they suggested a few commands I could try, but I needed to use the keyboard to type them in. I got the idea to plug in Sarah's USB keyboard, which I used on my broken Windows computer. I plugged it in, and it worked. Then I tried the suggestions, but they still didn't work. I didn't know what to do. So, I restarted it again and did my LibreOffice trick, which worked. Barb then found her websites and is back in business.

Restart

 Barb never turns off her computer; she always has it connected to the television monitor to stop her show halfway through and start it back up where she leaves off. One morning, she woke up and looked at her television; the screen saver was on the monitor. She asked me what had happened. The computer probably did an automatic update because Barb hadn't done the suggested updates manually. However, now, the computer wasn't hooked to our Wi-Fi. In fact, there wasn't even an option to connect to the Wi-Fi. I looked up the problem on my computer, and it told me to do some things, but none worked. While we were trying to fix the problem, Barb shut down her Firefox, lost all of her open website, and was so mad. Then I restarted the computer, which now hooked up to the Wi-Fi again.

Patio

I have stopped wearing my glasses, and it has been great when I am working on the computer, but everything is blurry in the distance. Barb wanted me to drive us somewhere. So I started driving, and halfway down our road, I realized I should have my glasses on. Barb said where are your glasses. I had taken them off to work on my computer on the back porch. When I stopped outside the front of the house and walked around the back, Barb thought I was crazy because I did not drive into the driveway and go through the house to the back patio.

Overdose

Last Saturday night, I drank my after-dinner coffee at 3 a.m. Then, when I finished the coffee, I felt wired from the caffeine. I stayed up until 5:30 a.m. to try to calm down. Then, the following day, I couldn't face a cup of my Tim Horton's Instant coffee and made a cup of Barb's decaffeinated coffee. I have been drinking decaffeinated coffee all week, yawning, having trouble staying awake, and napping between meetings. But that is not all that unusual. Anyway, I have been drinking decaffeinated coffee and haven't been able to stay up as late as I usually do.

Curious

The next day, Barb was up early and saw the garbage men putting the branches of the loquat tree in the truck. She saw one of the guys pick a loquat and eat it. Then he called the driver to come over and try one. They both ate a few, then shrugged their shoulders, threw them in the truck, and drove off.

Lowquats

We have a loquat tree beside our house, and the branches hang down and get in the way of the lawn cutter on his riding mower. We really need to cut those branches off. We were out talking to our neighbours, and they said there were some Mexican kids picking and eating the loquats, and they swished them away. Then he helped me cut the branches and took them to the garbage. While taking them out, I ate quite a few of the loquats, which were quite nice.
