I have no idea why so many people visited this blog site the other day. About 400 views on a large number of pages. I wonder if it was some sort of bot doing a download of my blogs. It sure has messed up my stats, though. Luckily, the large spike will move off in a week and I can get back to the two or three views on each blog post that I have come to expect. Woo hoo

Scary!

Today was sort of a two dash day.

First dash was not great. Not many offers, a bit of distance (one offer was crazy long) but a decent amount of money. It could have been better. But I quit when I quit with no regrets. I am really happy that I don’t rely solely on Door Dash and Dashing for income! Phew even.

At home, I got a little bit accomplished. I did some of the reminders, like measuring how tall the doorway on the side porch is. Hmm. Maybe I will split that into two pieces, so that I can do the door and the transom sort of thing separately. I will look into curtains when I got to Walmart (ick) on Friday to buy curtain rods. I guess I could buy two curtain rods. I mean, why not?

I also cleaned up the sink in the kitchen. Tomorrow, glassware. I don’t think that there will be a huge influx of dishes tonight. I took out the wet trash from the kitchen, only to discover that my boarder had tossed a lot of redeemables into the trash. At least 6 of them. That’s $.30. Which, to me in my ingrained depression era (from my mom) brain, is a lot of money to just throw away.

Second dash, well, it started to rain. The dash got off to a slow start with me sitting around and reading for at least twenty minutes. I eventually got a few rides, but then it started to rain. And I just don’t like dashing in the rain. Especially in the dark. So I stopped at around 5 pm and came back home.

Here, I read. I am really enjoying the Rivers of Soho series by Ben Aaronovitch. I read somewhere that the BBC might be making a television series from the books. After the terrible job that Amazon did with the Wheel of Time series with its incredibly loose and horrible adaptation, I am not holding out much hope that this one will be any good. Yes, one bad apple DOES spoil the whole bunch…

I have done my Duolingo and the blog is mostly done. Time to eat dinner. I am having leftover lasagna, with a piece of garlic cheese toast and a salad. So excited…ok, not really. It is more like fodder tonight. Oh, and pool was canceled because the host is sick. Poo.

Augustus for President: I tried the SQL script that I found on YouTube that was supposed to add dates created to my table. It did the ones that existed. But new ones aren’t automatically populated. And when I went to run the script again, it threw out an error. Poo.

I have another survey idea I would like to put up on the campaign website. It is really sad that people aren’t doing the surveys. Oh well. I will survive.

And speaking of surveys, the web company that I have the campaign website with doesn’t have an in app table building function. Or the ability to create columns. Eric to the rescue though and gave me two work arounds. I might get to them tonight. Or over the weekend.

And it is sad that an acquaintance of mine didn’t win their city council race. Grrr. Loser voters.
