Why do people give 4 star ratings (out of 5? (5 being good))? I just don’t understand it. Did I not leave the food in precisely the place you wanted? Was one french fry too cold? I don’t get it. But two people have given me four star ratings recently. Weird. People are just so strange!
The other day, I came to a construction stoppage. In place of a couple of people flipping signs around, yet another technological device was in play. This one showed a large stop sign. And then, it changed to a huge slow sign – but with a weird rotating display that I couldn’t figure out as I was driving past. Cool, though.
Yesterday, my Facebook post titled “Welcome Home” got removed for some reason. The title didn’t match the content maybe? Which is weird. I was welcoming home my Tesla. Which I wrote about in the post. Who knows. I complained and I hope to hear something eventually. I might have to stop posting to Facebook too, if they do things like this frequently. Since this is the first time, I will give their AI the benefit of the doubt. Still boggles my brain.
Today was a one dash day. And it went decently. Yay. We like that. All in all a decent week. Next week I will dash again. How thrilling.
I had a lot of things planned for the afternoon. And they sort of came to fruition. I wanted to order a couple of things online. I managed to order one of them. The other I am still debating. It is luggage. I can’t decide if I like the item or not. I did just get an email offer of 15% off so there’s that. I also called REI because Amazon thought they might have one – they didn’t. The person who answered the phone was, oddly, called REI. Though maybe she was just giving me the name of the store in hindsight…
Next up, getting the tires rotated on the Tesla. It has been another 5000 miles already. Yesterday Nick said I could pop in and he would get me taken care of. I popped in, Nick wasn’t there and Joey said it would be an hour’s wait. Nope. Not interested in waiting an hour for a wheel rotation. I will check back tomorrow.
Off to the Salvation Army to look for slippers. And…I found none. Sigh. There was a pair of my favorite slocks there – too small for me though. And my current pair is still holding up pretty well. I want more sets of slippers for the other doors that I occasionally step out of. I have slippers at two doors and at the foot of the attic stairs. I would like three more pairs. Someday.
Last stop, grocery store. I had a list. And I got most of what was on it. I did not get Utz caramel corn. (I looked online and it sells for $15 now! I thought it was around $6. Inflation? Or was I hallucinating?) Wegmans no longer carries it. I also wanted to get store brand oreo type cookies with chocolate innards. But they didn’t have those either. So I got Oreos with a new “toffee” flavored filling. Wish me luck.
All in all, not a very effective shopping experience today.
Tonight, my plan was to get some Mexican food. But, at my friend’s suggestion, I bought some pastrami to build a Reuben with that. And so, tonight, it will be a pastrami reuben instead of Mexican Food. Maybe Mexican on Sunday. We shall see.
One thing I did accomplish was to set up parking for my upcoming trip. Yay.
Speaking of trips, I have no plans for Christmas. So I might travel over that time. I don’t know if it is more expensive or less. I might go to England. Or just go someplace warm. Trips I would like to make are so numerous, I am not going to go into them here. For now, though, I am trying to keep my outflow of money low so I can catch up a bit. Best laid plans…
Ok, time to do some Duolingo and then make the pastrami Reuben.
