I didn't see one yet.
Tonight we have a hockey game! It's the only preseason home game for the tbirds, so I'm excited! I'm also hoping to finish up cleaning and decluttering the house. We were like 85% done. So, boring yet also exciting!
Yesterday, after my interview, I got a call for another interview next Wednesday. And then I got an email response from one other. Woot!
There's a really annoying commercial that plays almost every break during college football - it's the Tmobile noise/logo then the netflix noise/logo and then it repeats twice (it's for netflix being part of tmobile now). We heard it a ton during a game last night and already a couple times today and it is going to make my head explode.
I ran to the dollar tree this morning and watched a guy try to pay for his handful of items with a hundred bill. The cashier had to call for management cause she couldn't break it with what was in her drawer. He seemed to get annoyed and ended up paying with his card. It was awkward.

I HATE that commercial.
We are watching football, my teams are both doing better than expected. One of the teams I know a few of the players, which makes it both exciting and nerve-wracking.

I had a pallet of sod delivered this morning. The forklift broke a water line that couldn't be isolated except at the meter. Called emergency plumber. Laid all the sod. Now I'm sitting on the porch covered in dirt unable to shower or water my $400 investment. Don't know which I'm more upset about. The quick trip for the plumber to get a part has been an hour and a half. I'm about to have to go make a grocery run all disgusting because I'd promise I'd get the stuff for my boyfriend to cook for his crew on shift tonight. And he's not going to get a shower when he wakes up at this rate. Not going to be good.
I did a good deed today, and I want to thoat punch myself for it.
I was at a store and the older man in front of me realized he didn't have his wallet. He didn't have much so I offered to pay for it.
He turned around to thank me and i saw it.
The fucking "make America Great again" hat
God damnit.
I paid, he walked out and the cashier said that was a really nice thing you did.
I laughed and then blurted out, "he's lucky I didn't see the damn MAGA hat before I offered, I don't think I would have offered if I had noticed it before I did it, and yes I am totally that petty"
The guy behind me laughed and laughed and then said I should have said "I paid for these in the name of Hillary, you are welcome"

That's awesome. You're a good person even if you are petty

Had a procedure on my varicose veins Friday, so have been recovering all weekend, which means going for short walks and then getting to lay with my feet elevated. Really it's not a bad gig
I woke up and read an article on NPR about Ann Wilson and Heart on FB. I love Heart's music from the 1970s and think they were such a bad assed group, especially given how few rock bands had female frontmen. Naturally the comments on it were all deplorable men saying they wouldn't have been famous if they weren't pretty, they weren't that good, NPR is gender baiting. God, I hate people. Male fragility at its best.
Shopped at Target this morning and the guy next to me was open carrying.
. So glad you could shop at fucking target and feel so safe, thanks to him.
Big threats in a suburban Target! The only person that made me nervous was him - especially in Richmond with all of the confederate lunatics that were here yesterday.
I asked the cashier if they allowed it and she said that they did. I'm pissed.
I volunteered at a local celtic festival yesterday, demonstrating weaving and other yarn-related stuff. I was FB live syreamed by at least 2 people, which was a bit wacky.
I am so sore and hoarse today from all the explaining and working the loom angled just a bit to the right (where people stood to watch the way the loom worked -normally when i weave i stand fully faced forward...). But, it was fun!
Sadly, at least one of my friends who also volunteered got back to his car later and found one of those white nationalist flyers tucked under the windshield. He was really pissed off about it.

I'm in full blown ant mode. Making zucchini bread, banana muffins, tomato sauce, marinara, tomatillo salsa, minestrone... and whatever else I can manage to crank thru to preserve all the stuff I've harvested.

I got a call last night from a doctor. She's from India, and we had a really good chat! We even had several good laughs. I have an interview Tuesday with her. It appears that everything is coming up Milhouse!

We had our former 80+ yr old neighbours over for tea this afternoon. It was so lovely to catch up. They are the people we want to be at that age - they are so active and involved. Love them!

My sister asked a generic question on fb yesterday, basically, "If Colin K can't take a knee during the national anthem, and little old ladies get knocked down by police during peaceful protests, I'm asking my conservative loved ones, what kind of peaceful protests are acceptable to you?" And a cousin came back with suggesting CK should move to North Korea and see what it's like to protest there and then went on to say that immigrants don't pay taxes. Then she went on to say "they" get aquitted for everything, regardless of skin color, which I think is in reference to police, not immigrants but the stupid is so thick I don't actually know for sure.
I'm at a resort hotel and loving the outdoor pools but sad that I can't be enjoying them with an adult beverage due to the remnants of a migraine. I think it's time for me to give in and go back to the doctor to deal with these suckers.
also - I highly recommend Eden Resort to anyone going to Lancaster.
I tried to buy What Happened at my local Barnes and Noble today but they were sold out. Fortunately there was a Target across the street that had one copy left (which I bought). I'm halfway into the 1st chapter now...
I'm going to see It in an hour and I am slightly terrified lol. I don't like horror films. WHY did I agree to this?!
Because you want to float?
Ok, that movie was fucking awesome. I've never laughed so hard during a horror film in my life lol. Pennywise can go straight to hell because I hate clowns but yeah. "Eddie's mom's vagina on Halloween" is classic.
Our power is out again. We finally got it back Friday afternoon, after loosing it early last Sunday, pre-Irma.
Our generator set kicked on, and it shouldn't be a big deal to us to lose power, but it was such a relief to have power again that it caught us a little off guard. It was nice to have things returning to normal. Also, I have a headache and the sound of all of the portable generators is so loud and annoying. The quiet of the past day and a half was nice.
Our next door neighbors don't have a generator, so they have their fridge plugged into our house again... they had just restocked it this morning and didn't want to lose food/$$$.

The fuck?? This shit doesn't even fucking make sense.
