Welcome to Brad's online memory archives.
I don’t know if he’s only recently discovered sunlight, or i’ve only recently noticed this, but Bruno has been basking in the sun whenever he can. Yesterday I was in the garage doing my regular exercise session, and he was down on the floor with me and enjoying the warmth.
I have a pest-control service that visits my house once a month. It’s probably more expensive than me just buying some bug spray and going around the outside of my house myself, but I like it because I’m forgetful and I’m lazy.
The sprayer guy came yesterday, and texted me before he came to ask if I had any requests. I asked if he could come inside the house to spray. It’s included in my price, but I’m never home to let them in. This time I was! Awesome!
My plan was to hold Bruno while the spraying happened, then put him in the car and go for a drive while the spray dried. They use a pet-safe formula, but it should be dry before letting pets into the rooms it’s been sprayed.
The guy came in, and pumped his sprayer. It squeaked, and Bruno FREAKED. He hissed, jumped out of my arms, and ran behind the couch. I tried to coax him out while the guy sprayed, but no success. I asked the guy not to spray the living room, blocked off the living room doors, and waited for Bruno to come out, which he eventually did:
Later in the day, I realized he had torn my shirt as he jumped out of my arms:
Still later, I realized he had given me some nasty scratches. But hopefully I won’t be seeing any silverfish for a while.
Yesterday, I went swimming in my pool for the first time this summer. It’s been difficult for me to get in the water, because the weather in LA is so nice. It’s warm (but not hot) during the day, and then it cools down at night. So nice for every day living, but not so nice for making the pool water warm.
Yesterday I had the cover on all day, and then in the evening I had my regular exercise session, which made me hot. It made it a good time to swim! Yay!
Tomorrow, I think I’ll try having the cover on, and running the heater a little.
I took a picture of myself in the pool:
But I really like this one, where I was trying to get the camera flipped, and took a picture of my “concentration face”. Ha!
It was a warm day yesterday, so I went to the mall to walk around. I stopped in Marshall’s to browse and saw a curious tag:
“Guaranteed to wrinkle”? That’s the opposite of what l would expect to see on the label. I think I might like a shirt that’s supposed to be wrinkled. But I didn’t get it.
This is my last weekend in LA before I travel to Nebraska. My frequent Saturday breakfast is at a local chain restaurant called Spires. I go there often enough that I know my regular server Rosa, and she knows me. How fun!
I often order the “Country Breakfast”, which includes biscuits and gravy, because they make good biscuits and gravy. I ordered it yesterday:
Mmm… it was so good… Thanks, Rosa! See you when I get back!
