Non-complaint: Yay, no itchy eyes this morning. Right eye is still a little watery, but no itch, no crust, no redness, no sore throat, no congestion, no cough, no chills, no lethargy, no post nasal drip, no red irritated nasal entrances. And it's time to stop my six times a day prescription antiseptic eye drops. Nyquil, Chloroseptic throat spray, Cepacol lozenges, and Thera-Tears eye lubricant bottles all put away. And no bloody noses for almost a week. (*Knock-on-wood*)
Still pigging out on potato stuff, but have scheduled tomorrow for laundry & a non-potato meal. Wheee... a day out, and I feel good enough that I think I can pick up a couple bags of groceries from grocery store across from laundry while waiting for clothes to dry. Ancient person bus to laundry at 8:00AM. Toddle to BurgerKing during wash cycle. Toddle to grocery during dry cycle. Fold clothes. Uber home. Wheee... I'm normal-ish again. The secret to life is to appreciate the simple things.
Complaint: Still have nine days before I get my SS payment again, but that's what credit cards are for.
Non-complaint: My spreadsheet shows that If I pay off my current CC bills I'll still have $5.24 left in my checking account.
No doctor appointments until middle of next week, so I think I can manage nine more days on credit. So, maybe, NEXT month (if I'm careful) I'll be solidly in the black again.
Real birds, but faux robins.
I feel like doing something productive. My body is telling me that is a nap.
Non-complaint: Maybe it was too soon, but I decided to walk to my local grocery, 2 1/2 blocks uphill (both ways) to get a few really needed things. I needed Hydrogen Peroxide, bananas, salad greens, cheese, chicken breast, Honeycrisp apples, honey & eggs. It made a light load in two bags so I was balanced and not overtaxed on the walk home. Made it OK, but winded. Temp was about 55F in the sun, so no jacket. Nice to feel the wind again. This means I can get more & heavier stuff at the big grocery store near laundry tomorrow morning. Yay, Spring!
Complaint: I almost screwed up and missed the bus tomorrow morning.
I didn't realize that yesterday (March, 9) was "Spring Forward " day. Gotta make sure when I go to bed tonight that I adjust my alarm clock. Got all the others corrected.
I am trying to ask my cell phone company if I can pay in advance without turning off autopay or restarting the cycle. I think I am presenting my question right, but it seems I am not understood. I don't know how to explain better. I am also getting tired.
Complaint: OK, morning trip was almost perfect. Bus on time. Breakfast at Burger King was quick and pleasant. Laundry was not. Put money in a broken washer. HOWEVER, the usually absent owner just happened to be in the building and gave me my money back.
Grocery shopping was quick and pleasant. Folding clothes was quick despite the large load. UNFORTUNATELY, I put my best(and only) flannel shirt back into the dryer for a few more minutes and forgot about it while calling for my Uber.
Brain turning to mush.
Perhaps some homeless person who needs a shirt will find it. Oh well, it was several years old. Time for me to get another one. Wheee... shopping sometime between now and next fall.
Some seem to assume that moors are little fishies. However, that isn't true.
Non-complaint: I am full of beef, potatoes and carrots.
Complaint: Price of eggs. Yeah, yeah, I know it's been discussed around here recently, but I don't pay much attention to the price of my required foods. It is what it is. HOWEVER, today while shopping in the big grocery store near the laundry I noticed that a dozen large eggs was over $8, and it finally got through to me that that was a lot higher than I remembered last time I noticed, and it shocked me. So, I didn't get any because I'd already bought a dozen eggs yesterday at my local small town grocery without noticing the price. So today I looked up my receipt for the local grocery and was shocked to see that the price was $12.48
Gadzooks!
I know the local grocery doesn't have the volume to keep prices down to match the big time grocery chains, but Gadzooks!
When I was a kid, eggs were a few pennies apiece ($0.61/doz.), not in excess of a dollar apiece. Gadzooks! That's a 20x price increase. Double the typical 1955 to 2020 inflation effect of 10x.
Now I read headlines today that say "Eggs Prices Plummet". I should'a waited another few days to get eggs.
And I won't buy them locally ever again.
Last night I took out a chicken breast from the freezer. I put a marinade in the bag it was and put it in the fridge. Now I just put the chicken in the oven. I think I threw out the bag. Now to wait for it to cook.
I have no idea what eggs are supposed to cost. I just know my mother and aunt both prefer "EB" eggs (Eggland's Best). And the store only had Best Choice eggs. I'm going to have to lay my own.
I just recommended my mum not to watch either Smile movie. I was looking through paramount plus to see what she would like. I also didn't recommend the horror movie section.
This post may take me forever to type. Partially because I am on my third rum and Canada Dry Ginger Ale and mostly because I am typing this with my left hand because all fingertips on my right hand have severe 2nd and third degree burns. Who knew a dishwasher coil ran hotter than my average oven burn. Fingertips range from white to tanned leather. But my real complaint is that my front entry doors damaged slightly when we bought the house in 2003 really needed replacement. Back in January the guy who does all my wrought iron work highly recommended a door guy. Based on his measurements I custom ordered front entry doors. And it has been a nightmare. Currently our front looks like an apocolyptic disaster zone boarded up because the moron did not check to see if the door was the right sixe before he ripped the living sh$#@ out of jam and doors. It gets worse. It has been a nightmare. So instead of focusing on a new computer build, I am once again trying to do damage control. And when people say you are have so much luck, in an envious way, it blows my mind. They have no clue what kind of luck I usually have. I console myself by saying repeatedly nothing comes easy . . . and the truth is it never does. When things go wrong I usually bury myself in work, but with this burn injury, I can't write, play music, use a wacom, create scenes to render, or tie back my hair or groom my dogs urrggggggggggggg. This post took almost one hour. How pathetic is that?
Edut: Here's a p[ic of my entry, but I will not post my gross burned fingers.
Oh, how awful, especially about your hand. Swift healing!
Non-complaints: 1. Tomorrow is my birthday. 2. Son got the position, a promotion he's been working toward.
Semi-non-complaint: Our eggs weren't as expensive as @LeatherGryphon's, "only" $6-ish for a dozen. Can't wait for co-worker's hens to start laying agin. She sells hers for $3/dozen. So low because she is mainly trying to offset the cost of feed.
Complaints: 1. Still paying off electric bill from last month, high due to winter storm & possible shenanigans by power company. 2. I think I am coming down with a cold, or sinus problems from pollen allergies.
Maybe try Ninja Turtles Mutant Mayhem. Or Mean Girls. Or any Sonic the Hedgehog movie.
...*ouch*. Hope you heal soon.
As to the door I'd have a talk to your wrought iron fellow concerning his "recommendation"..
I may have put a few too many kernels in the pan.
Mmmm That looks good! Fresh made popcorn is awesome and makes the house smell like a movie theater! ...And now I'm hungry but it's 12:30 AM here so I probably shouldn't eat anything. lol
Holy buckets, ArtAngel... when it rains, it pours! I hope everything gets sorted soon with your door, and your hand heals swiftly. Both burns and hand injuries are the worst. Combining the two is sheer misery.
ArtAngel, hope your recovery is swift and the contractor is swifter.
I know what you mean about it pouring, though. On top of all the fun we've had with my FIL, step brother & Dad dying in the last year & a bit, we have my MIL's personality eroding into dementia, a 19yo cat who is leaking blood & puss from a burst cyst that won't heal and just to top it off, a careless truck driver reversed a 20 tonne truck into our 115yo brick garage. TWICE, because once wasn't enough. In doing so he re-modelled it extensively. Parts have had to be taken back to ground level and re-built, and it may be finished this week. So, I can sympathise from experience. Unfortunately.
Regards,
Richard
(Directing positive energy toward those who need it.)
@ArtAngel Ouch, so sorry. Burns.
And tipped over the pan too. Must be sticky popcorn, either that or neutral-gravity popcorn.
Heh, reminds me of the time I decided to rehydrate some dried beans in the crock pot.
I swear by all that is holy I didn't know they were going to fluff up like that.
Thank goodness the weather was warm enough to open the windows, is all I'm sayin'.
Non:complaint: weather for Friday forecasted to be a high of 75!!
complaint: ...and the forecast calls for maybe a blizzard on Saturday.
Non-complaint: I must be living right, or karma is smiling on me. I've still got 3 1/2 large potatoes cooked, (halved, but not yet sliced) from my potato debacle a few days ago. Been kept refrigerated, but are at the point where I need to either eat them or fry them. I'd already fried at least as many with butter, mushrooms, & leftover corned beef hash and have about a quarter of that left for another breakfast or two. But with 3 1/2 potatoes left I need to use them up before they go moldy. So, I browse my larder and find a can of salmon. "Yay", I thinks, "salmon patties". (a can of salmon, two eggs, three or four tablespoons of flour)
Wheee, a few nice full meals of salmon and potatoes and gravy, and some sort of veggie. And I'd recently bought eggs, so it was decided.
I open the can of salmon and start to drain it when I realized that I have no flour.
Yes, I could walk up to the local grocery store again but I did that the day before yesterday, and did a lot of walking yesterday, and my knees, hip & ankles are complaining (I only have a few blocks of walk in me during any week). So, just in case I'd squirrelled away some flour I tore my larder apart looking in boxes, old cookie tins and behind long stored bottles of whatever. But no flour.
HOWEVER, I did discover a long forgotten tin of Danish butter cookies with still a couple dozen cookies in it.
Just then, after I snarfed down a cookie or two, I notice my house neighbor carrying a delivered package from our shared porch. I pop out and say hello, and quickly asked to borrow a cup of flour. Yay, problem solved within a few minutes of discovery. Happy, happy, joy, joy.
Asking a neighbor if you can borrow a cup of flour? It's been done.
I heated up some spaghetti but I don't know if I want it right now.
Really? I thought that was just a meme, like European's thoughts about yellow school buses. But begging for food is pretty unique for me though. Regardless, I'd thought that the neighbors were gone until mid-afternoon. Wasn't I lucky that he's only working part time now and was staying home with sick kids.
Their misery is my good fortune.
And besides, I found cookies! The whole situation was fate.
