New Dustpan




It's probably just my imagination because I know the summer solstice was just 5 days ago or maybe six not long anyway but already I've noticed, in the morning, that daylight is coming just a little bit later every morning. Of course the lighting is very subtle and if I was not awake at 4:30 a.m., as I have been the last couple of mornings, I would not have even noticed this. I shouldn't be so focused on this change but it seems just immensely quicker than it used to be. Everything seems to be coming quicker than it used to  especially the weeks. Today is Thursday that means tomorrow is Friday and already the week is over. It seems that I have barely done anything this week except to wait around for people to show up regarding my bodies predicaments. Now I seem to be in the custody of the wound professionals. It's all very frustrating they say they're going to be here at a certain time and they're 20 to 40 minutes late it seems. I understand it's rough working with people and they run from one address to another all day long. I just need to be patient this portion of my life will not last as long as my opening sentence indicates.


I was at the market this afternoon shopping for just a few things with my cell phone rang it was my brother, Carl indicating that he was going to be in my neighborhood and did I need anything repaired at my apartment. Of course I did and I told him that that was not at home but I was not going to be very long at the market either it'll be home by the time he would be able to get to my apartment. In fact he was quicker than I anticipated and was pulling into the unit just as I was coming in the back gate. When I moved into this apartment complex management gave me an electronic gate opener that I could use when driving the van into the back parking lot, gated parking lot. After my van was sold I no longer needed the device but kept hold of it just the same and gave it to my brother who I think loves to use it to drive in to the back of my apartment complex. Anyway I waited for him to come to the gate and we went into the apartment together. It was great I kept funny things for him too fix. He repaired my backup chair replaced a piece that had cannibalized for the current chair I'm using. You fixed my seat belt buckle on my chair he also repaired my screen door that I ran into this morning- - which is brand new. He was able to bend it back into shape as I knew he would. When we got to my door there's a package there from Amazon it was my new stainless steel dustpan, long handle. I finally could not stand the destruction of the cheap plastic dust fans that I used to pick things up off the floor. I saw an advertisement in Amazon when I was searching for metal dust pants with long handles and came across this particular device. It's a beautiful p Qiece of equipment I just hate the fact that I'll probably roll over it and destroy it but it's going to be a lot harder to do that's for sure then the plastic stuff I've been using. And that was one of the reasons he was here because the last time he was here I gave him one of my cheap plastic dustpans for him to fortify and make usable. I went with this one stainless steel dustpan because the ceiling item to me was the fact that it showed the dustpan being able to withstand the weight of a bucket of water or a gallon of water. That's impressive. The heaviest thing I have to pick up some of the weights I used to exercise with or a 10 lb bag of flour. I don't have much use of a 10 lb bag of flour rsight now but now I can pick it up if I needed to. The dustpan had to be assembled more than just screwing one end to another there's a little nuts and bolts that had to be put in to connect the pieces. I could never pull that off that's why I wait around till Carl is available. It's really nice piece I'm really excited to use it I just hope I can't keep my chair off of it for at least
