I somehow ordered 3 sets of 6 packs of teriyaki noodle bowls. That would be 18 teriyaki noodle bowls! At least I love those noodle bowls! They are shelf stable so they will still be good until I'm finished with the last one.
Non-complaint: Plumbing problems fixed. Neighbor guy completely replaced my kitchen sink faucet & sprayer with an identical unit. Wheee... nice & shiney, has a working aerator on the spigot again, shuts off immediately when water turned off, and doesn't drip anymore.
Also, both the kitchen & bathroom sink drain U-traps replaced, and the bathroom's stopper mechanisim cleaned & adjusted.
Also, new hand-held showerhead attachment installed in shower, and the tub drain cleared.
No more standing in two inches of water at the end of my shower.
Complaint: In preparation for plumbing work I had to clean out all the collections of bottles & boxes, and rags, & miscellaneous under-sink things and put them in boxes. But, at least I ended up throwing out the things that deserved to be thrown out.
Non-complaint: Not quite so much stuff went back into the under-sink realm. And it's a lot more organized now.
Now, if he'd just get up on the roof and finish the shingling.
I had a fourth cup of coffee. There were consequences.
...I used to have a 48 oz Stanley thermos I filled with coffee every morning for my radio show. I had the first show on the air so I had to get to the station early to turn on the transmitter let it warm up and then make sure all the levels were balanced before going on the air at 06:00. The show ran four hours and I usually had about a half cup left afterwards that was still nice and hot.
Yeah, I was a real coffee junkie back then, and usually had a couple more cups downstairs at the coffee shop/deli afterwards. The show itself (a "drive time" classical music show) was even named The Coffee Cantata Club (long story)..
Sadly that trusty thermos of mine that served me faithfully through 5 years on the air was stolen from my storage locker at the campus in Olympia when I was in the process of looking for a job and place to live in Portland while staying with friends there. Oddly nothing else was taken.

I want to go back to bed. But I also want to do something productive.
It all depends on the steak. Like a great aged steak could cost 100 dollars.
There might be a steak that costs 100 dollars. I am not going to try it anytime soon. I rather spend that money on groceries that will last longer. Or maybe splurge on Stonemason product?
@Sfariah, my doctors have had me on a 'diet' for the past few months. No big rigamarol but I try to watch my portion sizes and carbs and calories. I compromise by eating some takeout meals half one day, half the next. Spread the calories around. I have dropped 10 lbs, which makes my doctor happy. My goal is another 40 so I am back to where I was when I was in my 20s. For me it is a medical issue. I had three grandparents who became type 2 diabetic in their 70s, and heart issues are scattered across my family, as well as cancer. Losing weight will help.
I also got a pair of walking sticks to help me walk distances again. But I found I can only do it with one. That helps support my bad left side. I am now trying to walk at least a mile each morning. Now I have to get back into my PT exercises for my back and bad knee. How to convince a cat not to throw-up right where I put my mat? Hopefully I will also figure out getting my left arm to work with my right leg so I can use the walking stick with it.
Cheering for you! I'm working on sustainable lifestyle changes, too... heart issues on Dad's side of the family, and it's not like getting healthier is going to get easier if I wait. My kids need me to live forever, so... oatmeal is my new BFF.
I was watching a video on YouTube on my computer. I paused it so I can check on my potato in the oven. I noticed the image at the right corner of the YouTube video. I can't read what it says. Is it AI text or a language is haven't encountered yet? It doesn't look like Rusian or German.
Non-complaint: Monday my BFF from high school (six decades ago) will be in town from NYC. Going to lunch with him and a couple other friends from high school. A micro-reunion.
I hope I can get him to drive me past a roadside vegetable/fruit stand to pick up some fresh picked corn-on-the-cob. Mmm..., fresh corn-on-the-cob.
..crikey I could have a full larder that that would last a couple weeks for the price of some of those steaks
Ever since the pandemic ended dining out has sure become expensive. Not long ago, a "happy hour" order of "Cajun tots" at this one pub I go to was 3.95$. Now its 9$ I could buy two bags of frozen ones at the local Safeway for that which would last me a week
I actually have not been to a restaurant or even a fast food joint for at least 3 years. Even MickyD's is pricey these days.
Complaint: I enjoy my little mini-adventures, but they wear me out. Just a few hours out & about, and some toddling a few blocks between stores, comes back to haunt me the next day and sometimes the day after that.
My left knee gets all angry and I can't lead with it while going up stairs. i.e. Lead with the right leg then bring the left one up to the same step and repeat. Takes twice as long to get up the stairs.
I'm just trying to outlive my allergies some days.
I was just recomrnded to check out NC Unemployment benefits. Maybe that can help relieve some stress so I can do job searching without so much urgency.
I'm currently at Barnws and noble cafe. I think the kid sitting near me has some major autism issues. I know that Autism is a spectrum. Not a 2D spectrum but maybe 3D?
I just remembered that I can use a 3D rendering software to render 2D pictures. Oops! I forgot to say to print and use to practice drawing. i might be able to use the Genesis 9 method for humanoids in poses drawings.
...yeah getting old is not recommended for the faint of heart..
Just glad my apartment building has lifts and all our transit buses and trams are "low floor".
Going down 11 flights of stairs (the odd number as the ground floor is taller). when the fire alarm in teh building goes off is difficult enough. If it happens during the day I go over to the coffee shop a block away until everything's over and the lifts are turned back on. At night I just have to tough it out (no fun in winter).
When was younger and much more athletic (before "uncle Arthur" took up residence in my bones and joints) I sometimes preferred taking the stairs rather thin waiting for a lift. I would even ascend staircases two stairs at a time (and never tripped once).
Back in 1973 I even walked down the entire staircase inside the Washington Monument (which was permanently closed three years later)..
Why can't I choose an age and stay at that age forever? I want a body of a 24 year old but still have the knowledge of wisdom I currently have.
I might look young but I don't feel like I have a 24 year old's youthful body.
Even Dr. Who couldn't do that.
I was having audio problems on my computer. I checked mz speakers and they were on. I could not figure it out until I remembered I muted my computer last night. I could not remember unmuting it. I didn´t so that is why I could not hear a thing.
complaint: All these back to school ads are giving me school dreams. The college dreams are bad enough, but then there are the missed-the-bus dreams. The last time I stepped on a bus to go to school was thirty years ago. You'd think my brain would catch a clue that I can drive now, but apparently not.
I used to have dreams about failing in school. Later, I had dreams about failing in college. Then I started having dreams about failing at work. After those dreams, it would be a relief to wake up and realize I was done with school, or college, whichever one I was failing in the dream. And at work, I wasn’t failing anymore. Of course, my workplace itself is a nightmare right now. Maybe I'll dream about that in the future when everything is okay.
...complaint:
Clueless, aggressive inconsiderate, and impatient idiots behind the wheel. and the lack of traffic enforcement.
As I was coming home tonight, after exiting the local Safeway market, this idiot in an SUV kept moving into the crosswalk I was already in i had the green and walk light in my favour I shouted at him for nearly hitting me. (I probably should have planted my fist on his bonnet, but in these days of road rage, that would be dangerous)..
He had a red light as well.
It's times like that when a lightsaber would come in handy to clear your path. (*slice*)
My friend said there was somebody who would drive through his neighborhood at very high speed from time to time. Then "speed humps" were installed at both ends of the street. The driver didn't know it was there, and drove at his normal, excessively high rate of speed. The friend said he could hear the sound of the driver hitting the speed hump, and it did not sound good.
Play stupid games...
When I was a kid, my across-the-street BFF's house got hit by a car. Alcohol was involved, and it's pretty impressive because they lived at the back of a cul-du-sac, and we were a quiet residential street. So the driver had to be on the street, turn into the cul-du-sac, and then just... keep going. Into their house. Their mom was a single mom who was usually working 2 jobs to stay afloat (dad abandoned her and the preschool twins to run off with his secretary) and in retrospect, I can only imagine what must've gone through her head -- first at that noise in the middle of the night as a car slams into your house, and then realizing you're going to have to deal with the fact that your house now has a giant dent in it. It's a wonder it wasn't worse, really, but still.
Each morning my local news station has a tally of the dead and injured from guns and cars. Last night it was two cars vs pedestrians. One dead at scene, the other fighting for life in hospital. I hate driving on the freeways around Denver, they just 'feel' wrong and the speed limits are crazy high. I will take the city streets, drive extra time, put up with traffic lights to avoid them. Even outside the city, I am not sure where anyone learned to drive. Of course I found out Colorado removed Drivers Ed and Training from high school courses. Drunk and Impaired Driving is pretty high here. And car/truck vs house, another once a week occurance on average. There are some houses with multiple hit records even after putting in brick fences. And then there are the trucks flying off the overpasses onto the houses or businesses.
I don't know if it's in schools here now, but it wasn't when I was learning to drive (mid-90's). They maybe had some sort of after school program, but it wasn't during the day. My friend-group all took the classroom-style stuff together from some private place over the summer; the parents had worked it out among themselves so they could rotate who was playing chaffeur for the day. Then you had to go somewhere else to get the hands-on stuff that would qualify you for your permit.
Definitely things have gotten a lot worse in the last five years or so, though. I'\m not out on the road nearly as much as I used to be, and when I go out now I'm stunned at how everyone seems to have lost their manners. And their sense.
