Signs of stupidity or???

The last 2 weeks were supposed to be relatively quiet. So much for relatively quiet. The roof got finished, to a point. Had to leave the DirecTv dishes in place until last Thursday. DirecTv was to be here to change dishes, install new receivers etc. They allotted him 75 minutes and deleted the dish change. Dish had to come off the roof, so it is now on the pump house, new wires run and the new receivers connected and started. Tech was here for 4 hours (7 o'clock!). The problem being my mother was admitted to the hospital for excessive bleeding on that morning, and I had to wait until the tech was done before we could go over to see her. Of course, her being the matriarch of the family, all had to be notified and explained the circumstances. I was the one who got to do most of that. She went home on Sunday, I got that assignment too.

Poor Richard had to deal with my drama, the roof, and the tech. Sent photos to insurance to get rest of money to pay roofer, when he finished. He had to get the roofer to finish the spot where the dishes had to be taken off the roof. That got accomplished yesterday, in the rain and blow.

Richard got a guitar from the auction last week. Got it home, has a instructional cd, a strap, and some extra wires. The catch? the saddle has a chunk out of it so it has to be repaired. Auction stuff. After all these years he wants to try to learn again. He says "sign of stupidity or too much time on my hands."

I offered to help the sewer district, again. "Sign of stupidity or too much time on my hands." This time I get to match all the addresses with spots on a map. Trying to verify who is where. I also get to set up a spread sheet to give to the county so that those patrons that are way behind in their bills will have the arrears amount added to their taxes. Good thing we get reimbursed for some of this stuff. Cannot even add up the hours Rich has put in, for free, as a board member. I have over 100 hours invested also, plus mileage for "field trips" etc. Most of what I do is because no one else will volunteer. Some of it is because it is stuff they (board) don't know how to handle. They need more people who care what goes on.

Life goes on. And on and on....
