First of Two Saturdays

Even though it was Friday, it felt like Saturday all day. Maybe it was because of my calling yesterday Friday. Maybe it was because the sun was actually shining for much of the day. Who knows. In any case, it was a mixed emotion sort of day.

I woke up early and then went back to sleep. I didn’t wake up again until 9 when the phone rang. I did not answer it. A bit later I checked the messages and it was State Farm. Since the agent hadn’t left a message saying that the crappy shitty stupid charge had been dropped, I was sure that she had called to say that despite her best efforts (hahahaha), she couldn’t get the company to drop the charge. Which was the case. So I just paid it to get them off my back. Makes me want to look into other insurance companies to insure my car. After 20+ years of being with State Farm, both here and in NC. Triple Grrr.

That was not really the way I wanted to start my day. But it is done with. Huzzuh.

Next up, beer club. As I may have mentioned, SM gave me a beer club subscription as a Christmas present. It was a thoughtful gift. And I thought I had set it up. But I hadn’t. So I set it up today. Turns out that the credit was just a credit and I was able to use it any way that I wanted. To purchase individual beers. To sign up for a monthly plan. Whatever. They had three tiers of beer deliveries and I chose the least expensive. To stretch the gift as long as possible – seeing as I am something of a miser where my happiness is concerned. I ought to get my first selection (I got to choose 5 types of beer for inclusion in the shipments) sometime this month. I will take pictures when it comes.

I think this is cute!

Next, I played with scammers a bit. Yes, I am doing more of that. I think I have four or five online right now. But after my playing with them, at least two showed their true colors, asked me to switch platforms. I refused as long as they refused to do a video chat. One just stopped responding. Another one told me that her native language was English – but she said something like The natural Language that I speak is the English Language. But worse. Sigh. I told her that she had lied to me (as she undoubtedly had the whole time we had been communicating) and told her I didn’t want to hear from her any more. Her response: MMLL. No idea what that means. Just looked it up on the Urban dictionary and it means “Suck It.” From India apparently. Sigh.

Next up lunch. Later than normal as I also did some reading in Weyward.

Out into the wild! My first stop was the can place. $2.40 cents worth this trip. I thought I had achieved three dollars. Sigh. Next stop, Salvation Army. Not that I really needed to go, but hope springs eternal. And I was not rewarded with a pleasant exchange. My guess, she knew I would be coming so she took the day off. Oh well. Moving on. Next! (Not that there really are any prospects out there just now.)

Last stop, grocery store. I wanted to get some soda water but I ended up with a container of fruit salad – I really don’t eat enough fruit – maybe this will help. And I also got a piece of chocolate cheesecake. I mean, why not?

At home, after that, all I did was read and check my email. I still have three or four scammers that I am writing with. One more showed her true colors and asked for money. Loser.

And I finished Weyward! Good book. Well written and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in fantasy and in witches and in well written books. Next book in my reading list – the third book in the fairy fantasy series.

Ok, time to do some Duolingo and then cook my steak dinner. Yum city!

Triceratops!

Great first dash, all things considered. I had one weird dash, though. I put the address into the car’s nav system and it sent me to the border of Waterloo and Seneca Falls, no where near the pin that the Dasher app had. So I used the dasher navigation. Which took me to a place outside of Seneca Falls that looked like an abandoned house. So I called the person. Turns out that the address was wrong. I don’t know if it was Wegman’s that got it wrong, or the app just misinterpreted what the people put in, but I had to drive back to Waterloo, about 12 minutes away. But that’s ok. I was paid really well. Catering order! Woo hoo!

During my lunch break, I ran an errand for SM (and a couple for me). First stop, library to drop off a finished book. Then to the Post Office. Boy, some of those boxes were heavy! No wonder SM wanted me to take them to the post office for her. While at the post office, I also mailed off a Juror Information form. Sigh. I wouldn’t mind being on a jury again. Someday. I was shocked that stamps are up to $.73 a piece!

Something went wrong with charging the car during my lunch break. Maybe I stopped it by mistake or something else happened. But when I went to start my second dashing shift, the car had barely charged. Oh well. I will try to ensure that doesn’t happen again. Why am I having all these charging issues? Is it because I am old and silly? It could be – I have a few owies that I have no idea how they got there. And I fell down (gracefully and without damage) on someone’s steps today while dashing. Signs of age?

My favorite type of Dinosaur!

My second dash was cut short because I don’t really like to drive the Tesla around when the charge is less than 20%. I have no idea why. I just don’t. It was a decent dash for the time I spent. There was a server who returned to Denny’s that I was happy to see. And I delivered to the Emergency Room which I haven’t done in a long while. And I saw my favorite type of dinosaur standing by the side of the road. It was placed in the “free to a good home” location. I didn’t take it home, though. It looked like it was actually designed to be ridden by a little person (a child perhaps). Someday I will ride a triceratops. Ok, probably not…

It is almost time for dinner. More yummy tacos. So excited. Oh, I started watching a new Mindy Kaling created series on Netflix called Running Point (or something like that). Starring Kate Hudson. So far, it is fun. And I am enjoying Weyward as my current read.
