I just got back from my day’s outing. I went to SM’s house to take in her mail and packages. And put away her recycling bin. Woo hoo!
Next and final stop was Wegmans. I had three things on my shopping list and came away with only one of them. I wanted to buy some kiwis. They had two different packages of kiwis but neither had a price, which was worrisome. One set looked green on the outside still, instead of the rich brown color I associate with kiwis. The other package contained golden kiwis, the fruit flesh is golden apparently, but it was a huge package and I wasn’t in the mood to try a different sort of kiwi. The second item was easier to find – I bought a container of guacamole. It was surprisingly expensive. And the third item, Tang, I knew that this Wegman’s doesn’t carry it. I will have to go to Walmart (ick) at some point and get some. So, not a very successful shopping outing.
At home, it has been a quiet day. I did do one thing – well, it was passive, but it happened. More on that below in the Augustus for President section. I also did a load of laundry. There’s excitement for you. And I had lunch. Oh, and I postponed the moving company’s walkthrough to Wednesday. EC was worried about it fo some reason. I tried to tell them that it was so the moving company wouldn’t be too surprised the day of the move that, oh yes, we forgot to tell you about the grand piano, full sized pool table and the universal gym machine that all needed to be moved. Luckily, they have no such things to surprise anyone. Just books and furniture for the most part. Easy Peasy. We have an appointment to meet for lunch together in Geneva, and then head to their house for the walkthrough.
No big plans for tonight. More books and more scanning I think. And I will fold the laundry and sort of put it away.
I have done my Duolingo. Italian today. I am in quest with a decent partner – though it is a tough quest – 60 lessons. Which means 6 each for five days I think. I did 10 today. I will probably do 10 tomorrow, too.
Dinner tonight is going to be a BLA – bacon lettuce and avocado sandwich. I checked and I do have sandwich bread. And I have some romaine. And of course bacon. I think I will add a side salad and some curly fries. Yes, I bought curly fries the other day. Woo hoo!
Augustus for President: I didn’t really do anything, except to check to see if Stripe was set-up and if the site was ready to accept donations. It took me a bit to figure out the log-in process (I need to use a secondary authenticator – which Apple has) but I got there eventually. And yes, I can now accept money. I can’t wait to see my coffers begin to fill. Hahahahaha. I didn’t realize that individuals could contribute up to $3300 each. Per election, not per year. But I bet those limits go up in the next couple of years. Not that I think anyone is going to donate anything to me or the campaign. But, hope springs eternal.
I also thought more about the other two things I want to accomplish this week. The first is becoming an official candidate with the FEC. And the second is getting a business credit card. Thinking is good, right? Also on the list is getting a business phone. I don’t want people calling me for the candidacy on my personal number.
