I keep getting notified that I have new subscribers. Hi!

Today was a dashing day – two dashes. And my Friday! Woo hoo! Tomorrow is July 4th and I am not sure if a lot of places are going to be closed. So I might find my day of errands pushed back to Saturday. I am guessing government offices will be closed at least. Maybe? Who knows?

I had to stop watching Being Erika. I liked the first few episodes. But I was watching one last night and I just couldn’t stomach how obviously inconsiderate the lead character was being. Sure, she may redeem herself eventually, but I didn’t want to stick around for that to happen. Next! I flipped around, watched pieces of a few shows and wasn’t all that impressed. So, I started to watch Ted Lasso again. For the fourth time. Sigh.

Anyway, back to the exciting world of dashing. My first dash was, overall, quite pleasant. I didn’t have to drive that much. I declined a bad ride. And unassigned from a ride that I accepted before it registered in my pea (not pee) brain that $3 for an 8 mile trip was not a good thing. What’s funny is that after I declined the one and unassigned from the other, both times I was offered a much better ride next. I have no clue what the hell Door Dash’s algorithm is doing. And I have decided that I just don’t care. And it seems that acceptance is way less important to Door Dash than completion is. Which is weird to me, but ok. Note to self (and any other dashers): better to decline than to unassign!

Second dash was, well, lots of driving. Almost 100 miles in one shift! Decent money, but not enough to cover that many miles. Damn door dash stuck it to me, once again. I was offered $13 for two orders – one nearby, the other far away – I thought maybe Phelps. But the distance was, sadly, measured as the crow flies, and not on actual roads. So what was supposed to be a total of 14 miles was actually more like 18. The second delivery was to Clifton Springs!!! But it took me to a decent amount $ wise. My next two rides were also long. But I survived and did ok for the week. Yay!

My mom used to say my brother’s head was too small for his body. I hadn’t really noticed it myself. The other day, though, I either saw myself somewhere or maybe it was a dream, but it looked like my head was teeny compared to my body. Thoughts? Do I have a teeny head?

Since the worst bill in history just was passed (WTF!!!) that means the EV incentives will end on September 30th. Hopefully by then the new Tesla models will be ready for primetime. And I can decide whether to buy another model 3 or wait until the new models are actually for sale. It’s a money thing. Who knows how Tesla will respond to this change? I certainly don’t. So, I will wait and see what happens. Plans are good. And better when they are flexible!

I am home. I have done my Duolingo (bunch of freakin’ tryhards again), and am finishing up my blog post. I have done some grocery shopping and have all the ingredients I need to try and make a lemon blueberry trifle. And lots of other semi-frivolous stuff. Yes, I bought some swedish fish. Sue me.

Oh, and I have pretty much decided that I am going to at least seriously consider running for President in the 2028 election – if there is one. Even if someone as potentially good as AOC runs, I will still run. I don’t trust anyone to not kowtow to the money people and the powerful. Or to the GD DNC. If only they had run Bernie instead of Hillary, we might not have had to deal with all this crap from Drumpf. IMHO of course.
