I ordered the high-altitude jet for the brush cutter today…the part number isn’t in the system but Torrie at one of the distributors found it for us. Because of COVID-19 it may take a couple of months to get here, but Andy can still use the brush cutter in the meantime.
If the jet comes in less than two months to get here I’ll be pleased…it takes that long to get an appointment with an endodontist nowadays.
Patience and good humor…it’s worth working on. And life is giving us plenty of chances to practice.

lordy that’s the TRUTH.
patience is definitely an important attribute to have! especially these days! and one that’s lacking in many of us.
(what? you mean like MOI? . . . YES!)
like the old prayer says… “Lord give me patience. and I need it NOW!”
LOL!
I’m a little better than I used to be. but I still have difficulty with it.
which is so silly.
things just take as long as they take. all the impatience we feel accomplishes nothing really! that’s the amazing joke. and it’s on us!
I’m happy for your patient and kind relationship with Torrie and company.
good on YOU Monk! xoxo
Thank you. 🙂
Patience and good humor are good things to have especially these days
Yes.
Oh, my, do we ever need patience. I would tell you what I am talking about but it is too long…
I sympathize, especially if it has to do with health. 🙁
YOU are getting lots of chances to practice patience! I somehow think you are very good at it.
I’ve been practicing for a long time!
I could use some more patience when it comes to deliveries. We’re so programed to get two day shipping with Priority that when something I’m tracking from CA to MI is taking 12 days I get impatient. Good thing I never lived on the prairie and waited for stuff to come by train and stage coaches.
That’s a big change for us, too. It was nice being spoiled. 🙂
Now in our dental office, we can get you an appointment with an Endodontist pretty quickly, sometimes, even the same day – So maybe, just maybe, this will work out by coming sooner rather than later – But I know you’ll keep that patience handy, just in case! 🙂
Last week I couldn’t get an appointment until August 24th. I’m guessing it’s because of COVID.
Patience is a virtue that is hard to come by, but when you have it, life seems to go better:)
Hope the part arrives lickety split.
I practice when I have technical problems, and it helps a lot.
I’ve had absolutely no patience the last couple weeks and no good humor either, for that matter. I wrote a post this afternoon, about it all, and decided not to publish it. Who needs the negativity anyway?! I’ll just keep it to myself. *lol* Love, Andrea XOXO
Good luck! Sometimes venting helps, but it can also just reinforce the negative feelings. One safe thing to do is to write it all down and get it all out. Then tear up or burn the paper. We each have to figure out what works best for us, and sometimes it can be fun to get curious and experiment. I’m an experimenter at heart.
my personal patience and good humour about getting me back on “normalcy deck” is the most annoying.
And when I talk about to some friends, who know me, they keep saying “baby steps” or “you will get it back, don’t be so hard on yourself” all good, but when you note that they are back on track…you feel like there is something not right with “your own self”
but then at times, I look at what Level 2-4 and then back to now Level 1…realise a lot has changed and possibly for the better! Of course, it’s winter here in New Zealand which is often extremely dreary in this part of the country so maybe it’s not anything so different. The problem seems that I can’t truly remember if this has been my stance on other years…other years I’ve been involved in educating myself or making art assignments to deadlines. Something I don’t have to do now!
at least I’m not waiting for a brush cutter part…so maybe it’s all good here 🙂
I agree with baby steps, and it doesn’t matter what other people are doing, focus on what works for YOU. I used to have trouble with doldrums in the summer heat. Then I learned to get absorbed in projects and the time went zipping by again.
This is so true our lives have changed so much in the past four and a half months. Nothing is as it was and it appears nothing ever will be as it was. So humor and understanding is all we have left. And it’s so true it’s taken longer than that to get a cancerous tumor removed from Bob’s eye!
It’s scary having to wait when our health is involved. Fingers crossed for you!
I know I don’t have much patience. As you say, practice on it. I’m trying, but my patience is wearing thin practicing!
