Who knows why or what or who, but some people looked at a lot of my blog posts. It is making my average views per day look like nothing. I wonder how people who get that much traffic all the time handle it. If anyone has a clue why my blog was viewed so much in the last couple of days, please enlighten me. I may check with google and see if it has thoughts on why…

Today was a quiet day. Nothing on the docket. Except I wanted to go see what Teslas EV Corner in Farmington had. They didn’t have many. Three I think. And one of those had already been sold. The one I liked and looked at was a new arrival. It is a 2023 with HW/AI3. That is one drawback. It is a little more expensive than I would like, too. But other than that, it seems like a good option. I am torn between that car and the one in Albany. I will keep thinking on it. And maybe SM will have an opinion tomorrow when I see her.

On the way home, I stopped at the Wegman’s in Canandaigua. It is so huge compared to the teeny one we have here in Geneva. I was sure they would have coleslaw. And they did! Huzzuh! I bought some. I toyed with the idea of buying some veggies, but I really want to use up my asparagus(tus) first. I think I will get Brussels sprouts or green beans for my next veggie option. I bought a nice piece of cake for dessert tonight. And I thought I might get some wasabi peas. But they only had a small container. So I passed. I have other salty things to eat when the body requests salty.

When I got home, I made myself some lunch. I know, it sounds pretty boring. But I enjoyed it. Chicken, olives, mac salad, coleslaw and some salt and vinegar chips. (See, I’ve got salty covered.)

After lunch, I looked at cars some more. And I sat and thought deep thoughts. One thought I had was that I hate having to type out my insanely long URL for my presidential site. Something prompted me to ask google if I could use the built in apple shortcuts app to build something that would let me replace text. Turns out that text replacement is built into iOS. It might be built into other OS’s too. Anyone? Anyway, I made a short cut that changes four characters into the URL. I have tried it out and it works like a dream. So exciting!

Eventually, my boarder came and took the rest of her stuff. I had given her permission to do it after her work, rather than trying to do it before she headed to work in the morning. A life chapter finished. I wonder if I will ever hear from her again.

After she left, I checked out the bathroom and the bedroom. In the bathroom, there were just a couple of hand towels to be laundered. I can also, finally, put in the replacement bidet I bought when the one in there gave up the ghost. I had asked her if she wanted it installed and she said no. Most people who don’t use bidets don’t know how great they are. Her loss.

In the bedroom, there was very little left. A nickel, so I am now rich. And a couple of socks. One of which was mine. I am guessing she found it in a load of laundry and never gave it to me. And it was a really good sock. One I had wondered about when it didn’t turn up in my sock drawer. Mystery solved! I stripped and made the bed. Turned off the heat, turned off the light and closed the door.

Empty Room!

In the kitchen, she had left a bunch of sauces that she had collected over the past few months. I threw many of them away and saved a few that were packaged for longevity.

She filled up my outdoor trash, so I guess I will put that out this weekend. I don’t think Monday is a holiday, is it? It isn’t.

I know it is going to take a few days for me to adjust to not having her in the house. But for right now, I am pretty darn happy to have the house to myself again after a year or so! Woo freaking hoo!!!

Augustus for President: I am thinking I will just buy an inexpensive windows machine to get all of the Presidential Socials up and running. Completely divorced from my own socials. Maybe I will do that tomorrow. I really have to get cracking on doing all the things I would like to do before hitting the road next month. And I really have to get a handle on my 50+1 Capitals Tour Steps Speech. Threading that needle of informing, entertaining and keeping it short.
