I don't know if any of you are you studying the minds of aging people but I have a most definite problem with binary decisions .. I've always had a significant right/ left up /down on/ off problem but yesterday demonstrated the complications ---simple problem of go pick up the coffee for Janine ,myself and mark -------the problem was that there are two Dunkin' Donuts places Rowley or topsfield.. and then did Janine want her coffee at home here or at Meredith farm..(where she had to go to feed.) the problem was these were both presented to me as 2 binary single questions consequently I had to guess and where to get it whe're to go------ now if she had said to me get it in topsfield and take it to Meredith I would have no problem remembering that but to present it to me as two binary things I didn't have a clue...
I am tech disadvantaged.----- already We know that--- already "phone flustered"---- on occasion I just surrender myself to the idiocy of trying to work my cell phone.. when I went to Dunkin' Donuts to pick up the coffee there was a pile of 2022 calendars on the passenger seat which fell down as I put the brake on in the parking lot.------peep. Peep. Peep. i assumed this set off my car telling me that I needed to put a seat belt on the passenger seat --- still on the driver seat I turned sideways to try and explain to the seat that it was really calendars and I had a few choice words taught to me by some sailor I'm sure... and the window was open so the people on the next car heard me cursing out the seat and the beeping etc. as I turn back to the left it was just in time to see two porta potties on the back of a truck that was backing up nearly backed into my mirror.which was the beeping.
That was the initial fluster. And I tried to call Janine on my cell. to try and figure out where where to take her coffee. when the car got stuck on the busy signal at full volume and I didn't seem to be able to shut it off.. the full volume magnified my technology fluster factor
At full volume , I got th e coffee delivered. I figured I'd go down and visit my friends down there at the ira Toyota dealer because this car was going on full volume.... now you all know about our ghost of the left hand drawer Goldie who organizes very weird things.. I decided to go down to the ira dealership service department where I have two buddies 1 is nick who has moria ( harl female) And bill who's just a jolly sort of guy but I've known for years since I've owned a Toyota the two of them seemed to have a lot to do with managing the service department somehow.. so when I pulled in with this car blaring forth the busy signal... and of course I had three dogs in the back seat hanging out the window,,, let's say I attracted a little attention... and very shortly right outside my window there were about 5 shall we say well dressed businessmen.. so nick told me that they were the big bosses.. well for years I have tried to get the Toyota dealership to put explorer.org on. Their black”smart tv’s." . so I took this opportunity for what I would call an elevator speech---- you know you have 30 seconds of undivided attention..... I gave teh explore speech...... as I handed them a poker chip with service dog project on it... as I did that , one of them turned to nick and said “give her what she wants” that could be a tremendous thing for both Toyota dealership and explore.org so I will follow through that and see if we can't get the nature cameras on the 4 or five black smart TV's in their dealership waiting room. I figured goldie's sent me... I've been trying for years to figure out who to talk to to get those black television is working.
Rebooting the phone and Turning the car off and on. Stopped the noise...
Meanwhile mark has picked up paint from the neighbor’s “street collection” of free items.. we will have a pink chicken house.. and he found some perfect purple for th e shop door at the same street collection.
Our sidewalk collection has been whittled down to just two seats from my Sequoia.and a tub of kindling wood--- having gotten rid of two mowers, a bathtub, a dryer and a jug of hardware...
Mark is getting us cleaned up for dog fest....
