Pocket Nuts

Today was a good day. I had the day off basically. I started with my morning routine. Got dressed, bathed, and checked my email. Nothing to do today.

Today I texted my wife that I needed more shirts with a pocket on the chest. I found that I can carry some nuts—almonds, cashews, and pecans—in my shirt pocket, i.e., pocket nuts. She laughed and said that would be a good title today. So Pocket Nuts it is. I once saw a guy on FB talking about pocket cilantro. I thought it was funny. He said if you carry around herbs or something in your pocket, it is easier to access when going somewhere without a container or pocket. I thought that was genius, so I took the idea for Pocket Nuts. I only have a couple of shirts with pockets. I did mix some pecans and cashews today in a container because I had no pocket for my nuts.

My day today was alone. I always keep my cell in my pocket in case I have an accident or fall or something. I always use my cane. I made lunch myself, heated up some rotisserie chicken and some hot sauce. Like a boneless wing, basically. Yummy. No family to hang with today. Mom stayed home. My in-laws, who are normally off on a Wednesday, had a few appointments scheduled as it is their only day off to complete their tasks, etc.

The boys stayed away, only to check on me twice each so far. Normally at this time they’re in the front room in a sun patch shining in the window. They should be on their way in here soon as the sun starts setting. It’s been so hot out lately. Yesterday it neared 100 degrees. Today, no rain in sight, so it will be in the upper 90s as well. It seems like this could be the hottest part of the year for Florida. The weatherman said this morning it may make for a more active hurricane season. Ugh! It’s not nearly this hot during the active season. This could be the hottest part of summer as well. We aren’t even in summer yet.

I finished Ted Lasso yesterday. What was that ending? I hope that’s not the last season. I’ve been watching Government Cheese. It’s better than the beginning episodes. I think it was just a slow burn.

The RSO capsules have really been helping me sleep through the night. I take a capsule. It helps me drift off into la-la land.

Then we watch some old King of Queens episodes and zzz. She’s so mean to him on there. I can’t stand Carrie. My favorite characters are Arthur and Spence. Comedy gold. I used to always watch Seinfeld, but this is fast becoming a new favorite of mine. I can still quote Seinfeld like my in-laws quote Christmas Vacation or My Cousin Vinny. I’ve seen all the Seinfeld episodes at least 20 times each. I laugh at them like they’re new to this day. Still a top for me. My all-time favorite is Star Trek: TNG. It’s so nostalgic for me. My older brother got me into this show when I was 7. I’ve watched every episode many times. I used to tape it all the time and watch at night. BBC America has since quit playing it.

Light Day, Pocket Nuts
