What is currently on your mind?

Finally bought a new car after having the same one for 10 years. Hard to believe how high tech they are now.

Nervous about my father getting the coronavirus vaccine. He has a health condition where his immune system is pretty much dead.. so any little illness can be a big deal for him. Although I've read the reactions to the vaccines are because of a hyper active immune system (mostly in younger people).. I hope this is the case.

Relieved the 3 day week is here.

We don't have public holidays in May. I think the next one to look forward to is the Queen's birthday in June.

It is finally raining here. It hasn't rained in a month or so. The grass crunches under the foot. That is not unusual for August, but it is for May.

The grass in crunching underfoot here with frost!

Been raining here all week. At least I got a chance to see if my car would detect rain and use the windshield wipers automatically as the manual said it can..

Thus far.. it's failed.. lol.

We did Victoria's birthday last weekend. Only commonwealth country to do so. Old traditions die hard.

On a new car? That shouldn't be.

 

[MehGuy]

On a new car? That shouldn't be.

Yeah.. I probably just have to turn the setting on. The lights come on by itself.. although a little less liberal than I'd like. Besides that though.. it is a joy to drive.. all I have to do is press a button and pretty much everything else besides steering and using the brake and gas peddle is automatic. Even then it will do some steering for you such as parking. Although I don't trust the technology enough to try that.. lol.

Well, that, and why would you want to lose a public holiday?

That sounds nice. It's too new for gas station pizza, I bet

No.. it's still going to lug around gas station pizza.. but now I'll use the trunk instead of the front driver seat like I used too.. lol.

I awoke feeling really grateful to hear the rain this morning. I'm thinking this feeling of relief after some extreme events is going to become the norm. It just seems to be all the time, like we're always waiting for the resolution of the wholly unexpected, lol. Is that pessimistic or realistic? I don't know.

 

[Paidiske]

Maybe it's an indication of the trauma our world is going through?

 

[mama2one]

It's going to drop to the 50's here, which is extreme...again. lol

My weather statement:

The great reset?

 

[Paidiske]

The great reset?

Well, the great reset would be part of a response to it, I guess.

I meant more that many of us, and our society as a whole, have experienced a degree of trauma over the last year or so.

The birth pains of change. It's rough keeping a positive outlook, so I try to focus on my physical health. That way at least one part of me will be doing good.
