Waiting

\"waiting

I\’m always waiting for something, it seems. Is life a waiting game?

This morning I had to go for a COVID test. Luckily I didn\’t have to wait long for that; but afterwards I walked to the bank. I had a small check to cash; and a pile of change that I also wanted to \”cash in\”. I got there around 8:30; and the bank doesn\’t open until 9:00.

There\’s a small supermarket two blocks from the bank; so I hiked over there and got an onion and a few lemons. And, sad to say, a candy bar! After that I went back to the bank; and still had to stand around a good 15 minutes before they opened.

Back home, I checked the weather forecast. It predicted an 80% chance of showers this afternoon. By that time the sky was mostly overcast; but four hours later I was still waiting for it to rain. I did a short, easy ride this morning; but I wasn\’t sure I wanted to go for another ride.

In mid-afternoon was 79 degrees, which isn\’t terribly hot for us; but there was a T-storm at the airport. The South wind, I figured, was pushing it away from here; but I couldn\’t be sure. I don\’t enjoy getting caught in the rain; and even less do I like getting caught in a lightning storm!

So I stayed home, and did some work in the kitchen. In between watching YouTubes, I made a garbage soup; and in the process I got rid of a few cans. In a sense that was spinning my wheels; because I started collecting stuff for the next garbage soup!
