One Egg Omelette

Or is it omelet? I don’t know why, but I am old school. Ok, I know why. I am old(ish). And the more letters the better, imho. Dinner last night was pretty tasty. I forgot to add the bacon bits to the inside of the omelet, so I added it to the outside instead. I might have to do this again next weekend.

Cream Cheese on my waffle!

I have no specific idea why I was so depressed today. Here are some possible reasons:

The democrats caved last night. And I can only think that it was leadership that allowed it to happen. There was no reason to cave. Drumpf was losing it, SNAP was going to be paid in full. He was yelling at Air Traffic Controllers. If the silly democrats had stuck it out another week, Drumpf would have thrown all his allies under the bus. But no, Chuckles had to give in. Despite a roaring democratic base who gave them permission to hold out – what else did such a blue wave in the recent elections mean? We have cowards leading the democrats. And that shit doesn’t fly. Grrr.

The weather – I was not expecting winter weather so soon! Yes, we have, when I was younger, gotten winter weather this early before. But for the past few years, we haven’t been getting much in the way of winter until January or February. It was so coldI had to wear long johns. And I couldn’t find my warm hat – beanie. Not really sure what those hats are called. I guess I will have to head to the Dollar Store and buy a few of them and scatter them around. I know I saw one in the house or in the car recently. And I chose to wear boots – just in case I had to troop through snow. Which I did here and there. Grrr.

This ought to be in the Augustus for President section, but I will put it here. My niece got covid so she didn’t do anything on the document I foisted on her. Not one thing. In more than 10 days. Sigh. Hope was springing eternal, not so much where she is concerned now. Oh well. I hope she feels better soon. Grrr.

Dashing in general made me depressed today for some reason. Not really sure why as I did ok on both of my shifts with no major problems. Oh, as I was stopping tonight, Door Dash was offering $2 extra per offer. Which I didn’t get. I got lots of crappy rides though. And the Airplane mode trick a fellow dasher mentioned, didn’t work for me. That sucks. I was all caught up in acceptances, too. Grrr.

I got some not so great mail pieces today. And still no books. The bad mail pieces were two tickets. One was the long awaited bill from my speeding ticket that I took the class for. The fine was an additional $180+ I think, making the whole thing close to $300. I didn’t really absorb the amount as it was so outlandish. And I got an automatic ticket for going too fast in a construction zone near Rochester. Yay. It is only money. I loathe money (except when it is flowing towards me – that can keep happening please). Grrr.

I’m sure there are more reasons. But I am home now. I have done my Duolingo. I am about to finish the my blog post. I have no exciting plans for the evening, though I did get the next book in the Rivers of London series. So that is pretty exciting.

I was going to cook tonight – heat up an empanada, make some rice, maybe a small salad. But I just didn’t feel like cooking. So I went to Phoenix Flavor and got some bbq. Debating the salad…

Augustus for President: The only big thing today was deciding I was tired of waiting for other people to help me out with my thoughts document. People are so disappointing. Maybe I was crazy to even ask the people I did ask. Two of them had no job so I thought they might have plenty of time. The other was a student and she didn’t seem thrilled about helping in any case. Whatever. All my thoughts are in the database now. I just have to continue going through it and assigning types of thoughts and cleaning it up. 600 some records. I have done about 100 of them. I hope there is some pithy stuff in there.

Work, Work, Work

I have spent the bulk of my day working. Go me?

I started with working on communication with some “people” online. I put people in quotes because who the heck really knows anymore unless you are actually speaking to them in person in real life. Anyway, I am again dealing with bunch of scammers and catfish. Of course, nothing real there. Sad really. And then a couple of people who are real, but are just not interested in me, just my money. Not that I have that much. But I made it a rule to not give money to anyone I haven’t met in real life (business websites are of course excluded from this since I am unlikely to meet anyone from Amazon in real life…).

After that, I worked for my lunch. Well, sort of. I saw a roasted red pepper dip online somewhere and decided I had to try it. Of course, I adjusted the recipe a little bit. I think it turned out pretty well. All things considered. But soooo much of it! I am going to freeze a hefty portion of it. Maybe I will freeze two or three pouches of it. We shall see how I feel when I get to that in a little bit. Anyway, it is pretty tasty. I need to break out the pita (or the tortillas) for it for tomorrow’s lunch I think.

Next up on the work parade – doing things for the Geneva Light Opera. As usual, I am being pushed to get the tickest for sale on the web quickly, now, must have them for sale now, now now. Oh wait, the menu isn’t final. The prices changed. What? My phone number is being used somewhere? And I am not, of course, getting answers as quickly as I would like. So I am just muddling through as best I can. I think I have all the show tickets (twelve of them – four for each of three performances) up and ready to go. Items on Square are really data heavy and everything needs to be updated if I start from an existing ticket. Don’t get me started on creating the tickets from scratch. Anyway, those took a really long time.

Next I worked on the tickets for the banquet that happens in MAY!!! (Oh, and the show isn’t until June). I did one batch and they didn’t work. So I recreated them, even more simplified. And I like them. Very straightforward and simple. And if anyone prints them out the ought to use very little ink. I just finished with them around 6. I will double check everything tomorrow before telling GR that the site is ready for business. (I have to remember to change the website so that people can get to the tickets!)

And there we are. All work has made me a dull boy. No wonder no one wants to date me. Their loss.

Our Blue Skies are going away for a while again…

Last night I watched the first three episodes of season 3 of The Wheel of Time series. Or the series that I like to think of as a fantasy series with characters named like characters in the wheel of time book series. At least they are keeping some things. We got to see one scene that was a huge fan favorite, so there’s that. Although the series is really very little like the books, it is a well done fantasy series imho. So go watch it! We want the rest of the seasons please!
