I thought I was going to dash today. And I still might. But not right now. I woke up in a timely fashion, did my morning ablutions and some online gaming to get my mind and body to the here and now. The phone had said that Door Dash could use my help – even offered $2 extra a ride. So, I got my clothes on and was about to head out the door when I realized I really didn’t want to go. I thought: It is very cold. It is snowing. The roads are not in good condition. So, no. I am just not going to do it. So what if it is a light month. I don’t care! I would rather stay home and do nothing than go out and suffer to earn a little money. Maybe with these extra three hours at home I can accomplish some things. Such were my thoughts.
Like what things, Augustus? Good question. One thing that I already did was clean out one of the kitchen drawers. (I did a few more drawers) Go me. I might tackle replacing the bidet. (I didn’t) I might look into other ways to earn money. (Nope) Including thinking more about taking my Social Security sooner rather than later. (Still thinking) Or just nap. (Maybe a little one) I guess time will tell! Ooh, I have already paid some bills. That’s a step!
I might go and do an evening dash if the snow stops. Maybe just three hours – from 3 until 6 so I don’t have that much time in the dark. But if I do go, I reserve the right to stop at any time due to the conditions being worse than I thought or getting too many not so good dashes offered to me.
I feel good about the teeny bit I have accomplished today. I cleaned two drawers in the kitchen. One was in dire need. The other was just overcrowded. No idea why it got so over filled, besides that just being the way life can get when one isn’t a true minimalist. I put a lot of things into a bag that will go into the attic or the basement to be dealt with in the future by Future Augustus! (I imagine he wears a cape…)
I did do an afternoon/evening dash. I am very proud of myself. I declined two rides. Both were long distances for not enough money. One wanted to take me to Seneca Falls. The other out into the boonies – where the roads were bound to be bad. I did one sort of bad ride that took me out that way and it wasn’t fun. Most of my other rides were ok to good. I had one pair of bad rides – thanks Door Dash – little money for a lot of work – two stops and two deliveries. That is irksome. But I survived. I even stopped after getting the second very bad offer.
Then, I went to Walmart (ick). I don’t really like to give any money to Walmart (ick) if I can avoid it. I had a long list and got most everything on it. Even they didn’t have the sesame candies that I like. I guess I will have to get them from Amazon. Though they only come in a huge container. Sigh. Anyway, at Walmart (ick) I got some food items, including a substitute for Utz’s caramel corn – Crunch and Munch. I also got some more long underwear. I mean if the weather is going to continue to be this cold, long underwear is crucial, imho. I looked at TVs – I wanted a stupid TV that was a little more modern and a little bigger than the one I have in my bedroom. Yes, I have a TV in my bedroom. Only for the cold months. After that it will go back and live on the porch for the nicer part of the year. But they only had smart TVs. Which is all the rage, I guess. And Tang! I forgot that I got more Tang! Woo hoo!
Dinner tonight will be chicken from KFC. I was going to get some Krispy Krunchy Chicken, but their two piece meal was about the same price as 4 legs and 4 thighs from KFC (their Tuesday night deal). I have done Duolingo – math and French today. And am ready to think about dinner. After my boarder has finished in the kitchen.
