It's not depression, but I may have a 'case of apathy' these days. What with the evacuation news on TV and the internet, the Covid numbers [mostly the Delta variant] rising drastically in my county, the inferno [yesterday heat index was 115°], the west coast fires, the hurricanes [one front we're watching here along the coast of Texas is predicted to go into the Bay of Campeche in a day or two] ...and flooding up north, the Saharan dust storms blanketing my city and it's predicted to stick around until after Labor Day. The days drag on, I feel trapped indoors and easily become bored with it all. It's like a trigger is there, but no one is pulling it to get anything done...so routine. Yep, apathy. Here, but not here. Y'know the feeling? I am definitely happiest when I'm outdoors; not cooped up inside. Sure, I go shopping for a few hours to pass time, but even shopping has become boring. I should get to the blood lab for a lipid test, but I can't get myself motivated for that either...I think about being in the lab with dozens of unmasked people just spreading their germs -coughing, sneezing, without a care in the world...a petrie dish! I choose to wait for the virus to slow down in spreading. I just can't afford to catch anything with my heart condition. Speaking of my heart...I haven't even registered for the 5K heart walk yet. And, it's next month! Last year it was cancelled, and I haven't heard if it will 'run' this year or not. Should check on it. At least THAT is outdoors!! Today I think I'll give myself a manicure and pedicure to break up the monotony.
We had Mexican for dinner last night cheese and chicken enchiladas, refried beans and Spanish rice. I wanted a beer to go with it. Icy cold beer!! So, I opted for the non-alcoholic kind. We have "Texas Select" in the fridge. [Coors for regular; good beer!] I just assumed it was brewed in the state of Texas. WRONG!! What was I thinking? That's not the 'case'. Check out the back 'label' on the can...

Texans can't even get THAT right?!!! Misleading...but, no where on the can does it say brewed in Texas by Texans. Shoulda mixed up a margarita instead! lol
Oh, and this was a bit on the lacking common sense issues I've mentioned a lot here of late! I decided to work a bit on decorating for Halloween, and brought in the stored box that holds the black tree for the holiday to assemble it and get it readied for decorating. Now mind you, it's been sealed with the shipping tape since the day I brought it home from At Home last year. Never opened until a few days ago. Once I got the tape cut, and opened the box to take out the pieces-parts, guess what was in the BOTTOM of the box? UNDER all the branches?!! The instructions for assembly. Note Step ONE!!

I swear, the whole 'dam' human race is doomed!!
Okay, enough of trying to bring everyone down with me, to lighten the mood a bit, I will share this. I do love practical jokes...playing them and having them played on me. This one, I think tops it for ingenuity. I'd give it a 'brilliant' rating. Ready?
