Owie Day

I had planned to patrol for scouts from Venus. I had been anticipating their imminent arrival. Unfortuately, I had to see a doctor and then do errands. As we all know, the Venusian invaders didn’t land today. Perhaps my sternly worded message, “Now, see here,” scared them off. Perhaps they liked the chocolate chip cookies  I left them in a space bubble so much, that they refrained from attacking. Or maybe, just maybe, they found something more entertaining to do at home. But whatever the reason, they didn’t invade and I, for one, am happy about that.

Meanwhile back on Earth I saw a doctor for the bursitis in my shoulders. One shoulder was so bad that it disturbed my sleep. The shots to help, hurt a fair amount, but only for a short while. I did errands and suffered through backed-up traffic. At one point, there was no remotely reasonable route how that didn’t involve inching past road repair. Does the county coordinate? Are there any road repairs that have more than one worker actually doing anything?

Anyway, I’m exhausted.

Please refrain from invading Venus. I think the crisis has passed.
