While speaking with my sister, the illustrious JSRBM, I had a thought. We were talking about making the first floor into it’s own apartment. I thought that one thing I could do would be to put a door into the archway from the hall into the living room. That would take care of that part at least. I also thought that I really didn’t want to share a kitchen with two other people (or more if they were couples living on the second floor). I didn’t know where I could put a kitchen. Then it dawned on me, I could turn the dining room into a kitchen! Again, it is over the basement, so access for pipes and wires would be easy. I could put in an electric stove. And fridge, etc. It’s definitely a thought.

As for the second floor, there are lots of things I can do up there. But I would need access to the attic – being the landlord, I could do that. And the basement. Though I could put a washer dryer set up in the dining room too. It is a pretty good sized room. At least 12×12. I will measure it one day.

As for the day – I have mostly spent it reading. I got an early call from AD but I didn’t answer it as I was still in sleep mode. I eventually got back to him only to find that LD had taken him to his car. I did get to take him back to Living South later in the afternoon. My only real outing today. I had been toying with the idea of actually riding my bicycle around, but didn’t get to it. And it is kinda hot out there.

The next book of the Dungeon Crawler Carl series won’t be released until the end of September. Sigh. I guess I will have to wait until then to see what happens next in the series. The one I am reading now, The Eye of the Bedlam Bride, happens on the 8th floor and it has been a page turner! Lots of twists and turns. And some drama and pathos. So much fun!

With all this reading, I haven’t been watching anything. Or playing my game. I still am enjoying Hogwarts Legacy and will get back to it once this set of books is on pause. I will also look through the books that SM has given me and see if there is anything that looks especially interesting.

The more I think about that meal last night, the worse it gets. I really ought to have spoken with a manager. The server was just either bad or overwhelmed. I am hoping it was the latter, but that really is still no excuse. She was young, though. Probably early 20s at the oldest. Grrr. I will have to get a new bun when I go to eat the hamburger. And I still don’t know what, if anything, I can do to salvage the way over cooked brussels sprouts. I will try deep frying them first and see how that works…

Yes, I am thinking about food. I had half of a grilled cheese sandwich for lunch – plus sundries. But I am already getting peckish. I am thinking it might be pasta with Chicken Tenders and a salad for dinner.

Yum! I think I like the pomegranate better – but this was good!

So happy with my decision to buy the child size cone on Friday. The perfect amount for me. And the candy eyes. Fun!
