For those so inclined, The Daily Office, Morning Prayer

---

I woke after six hours of sound sleep.😺😴😺

The current weather conditions and forecast for today.😺☀️👍

No comment, except to say I have a clinic appointment this coming Friday.🙎‍♂️❤️🩺

-At 1229hours- I spent the better part of the morning online checking for a different power commpany. I will change when the plan with Reliant when it ends in May, or before should I think it's worth the $200 cancellatin fee. In Texas the Public Utility Commission is in the pockets of the utlity companies. Hopefully the "once every hundred years" weather event(prolonged arctic blast) won't show it's face until long after I'm dead. This region of Texas is in a warm humid climate zone so the homes Aren't built with heating as a priority. That point is driven home with a pnuematic jack hammer every January and February.
Tonight is Veteran's meeting night. Tomorrow is Scrabble Day, and Friday I have an appointment at the clinic in Lake Jackson. I'm looking forward to a week when I can sit quietly by the window and talk to no one or do anything.Mostly I enjoy picking a period from my past and strolling down a happy memory6 lane. It's a cheaop an easy break, espeially whith the cost of movie or theater tickets. Entertainment is entertainment.

I received an Email from Ropcket Mortgage (Mr Cooper) today saying they're in the process of removing the lein onthis place and that the copletion date depends on the speed of the local authorities. They've alread notified the FHA so the FHA life insurance on the mortgage has been cancelled.The Email stated that the escrow check will take up to twenty days to arrive by surface mail.  Should I have ever been late with a payment I'm pretty certain it would have only taken twenty seconds for good old Mr .Cooper twenty seconds to hit my checking account with a late fee. It seems to me that it would make better economic sense, in terms of man-hours, to just deposit the money they owe electronically. Of course the $3000.00 would not be collecting interest for tweny some days while the chek is in transit
I just received a text from Walmart informing me that the two essential items I ordered for delivery are not available today. At least I didn't have to get ressed, drive to the store, and wander the aisles looking for something they offer online, but don't have in stock.
