What Could Go Wrong?

I kinda felt like I asked that yesterday when I woke up to a storm today.

Said storm lasted until about 2-ish. I'm not really sure. I just know that there was rain and strong wind gusts for a long time.

So now it's been quiet for a while and I'm thinking great. It may be or may not be drizzling, but it's calmed down a lot and I can go do my wash and there shouldn't be that many people there.

Well, I was right as in it had calmed down. The sky is clear and blue. Nothing is falling, and there weren't many people at the laundromat. There was no one at the laundromat. Not even the owner. It was closed.

A laundromat in Brooklyn would have been open. (grumbling)

As I was leaving the house, the lady next door saw me coming down my steps with everything slowly and decided to let me know that she believed that it was closed. She saw someone else trying to get in and the door was closed. So she offered to look after my stuff while I went to check.

None of the signs said anything about being closed that day, but the door was locked and the inside was dark. Just great. I'm very happy that I have something I can wear to work tomorrow.

Speaking of tomorrow, my package might be delayed into arriving tomorrow also. They said the same thing about the TV, so I'm waiting to see if it shows up tonight anyway. They did give themselves a wide window up until 9 pm for delivery today originally.

If not, I'll just have to remind myself to leave the front door to the building open.

Wasn't all this rain suppose to happen tomorrow? I was expecting to actually put on my new rain boots to go to work.

Oh well. 

I got out, didn't get everything I wanted done, but I got out.

I got up and had simple breakfast.

I got dressed and tied up the trash.

I went out, taking the trash to drop off in the bin outside before walking up the street.

I took the same route that I do to take the bus to work, but when I got the bus stop I kept walking.

My first stop was the Walgreens. I hoped to find the same drinks that I saw on sale at the other Walgreens about 60 blocks, if not, more away. They didn't, so I was on to my next stop. An ATM from by bank. That turned out to be inside a CVS. I've never been in one before believe it or not. If I did, I don't remember.

Then I walked across the street to ShopRite. Yeah. It only took me what? A month? It was weird. I haven't had to doge so many people in a while. This one lady was nice. She wanted to know about something she saw me pick up, but ended up showing some something that saved me a dollar on something that I was trying out for the first time. We both learned something.

I didn't get my apple sauce. I finished off the chips last night, so nothing to dip into it. Not that I don't eat the applesauce by itself, but I didn't feel it at the moment. At least not with everything else I was bringing back with me.

I got my big container of oats. I got restock of two spices. I got some tuna because I saw some quick tuna Asian recipes. There was ice cream on sale, so I got one for me and one for my sister. Oh, and I got some tomatoes and cucumbers. :) And the sausages. I was just under $30. And then there was the $20 I took out of the ATM to do my laundry.

Laundry that I had planed on doing today until I started to walk home in the heat that had me sweating so much. My poor shoulder. When I was nearing home, I realized that I could just do my wash tomorrow. I didn't have to do it today.

Dinner was lamb chops with french fries. Dispite my sister saying she didn't like french fries, she's been eating her share since she got me the bag.

I was asked if I could come into work today, but by the time I work up to read the text, it wasn't in a position to show up on time or anytime soon. Then at 10 pm some one texted to ask if I could cover them on Wednesday. I said sure. Now I'm up to three days of work this week. If I was asked on Sunday to some in today, I would have had 4. Oh well.

So,... I think I'll go taste my ice cream. I didn't open it or anything. I got home and it went right into the freezer. It's not as warm as it was earlier. Around 11 pm I think, a nice little thunder storm broke out and lasted for about two-ish hours. I had to close my windows when it got really heavy.

I got slightly side tracked with my photo post over at DA. So that went up at midnight EST. But it was a nice clean shot from my new cam.

Ok. It's 2:43 am. I'm turning in now. I'm still getting the ice cream. Just a little.

Later. 

Near Perfect Day

I've got so much energy compared to how I normally feel. I'm playing music on YouTube and dancing in my chair. Reminds me of when I use to go out dancing.

I got to work 5 mins late, but that was out of my control and I'm normally on time and I let them know that I was running late so it was ok.

We had a new guy today and we were rather well staffed so I was stuck in kids and I got to take my time organizing and refolding the polos in women. I helped customers, I kept kids good and even wondered a bit more into women's when I thought I was keeping myself too isolated in the back.

I covered the register for one person so they could go on break. Come closing, we all got to leave at 6. We kept the store in order and no last minutes shoppers to not care and toss things around.

I came straight home. Well, until I was a block away. When I got off the last bus I got click happy and took a bunch of photos. I even took a block detour to see something different and see if that street got closer to the water than my street did.

Ok. I got home with only one mosquito bite and now I have a pasta bowl from my sister for dinner.

Later.

Oh... if you like Daft Punk you may like this. :wave:

True To My Word.

I did next to nothing today. 

So much nothing, that I haven't anything to write. Sure I ate something. Made fries in the oven. Got some chili from my sister. Watched news and other things on youtube. played my dragon merge game and I read a lot of stuff on line. 

And that is it. And I ate some more of those coconut cookies. I think I'll buy another set and put two in a little snack ziplocks for work. My boss would welcome them even though she keeps saying she wants to loose weight. She's already small. She can have two little cookies.

Since I have work tomorrow, I have to get my DA post up then make my way back to bed. 

And FYI, I've been out of my bed since like noon. 

Only God Knows Why I'm still Up

Hey, (typing with my eyes half open)

I got home just before 10 pm even though I left work at 7. Granted, my bus didn't show up for about 20 mins, but that is normal.

I took three buses home today and I did what I wanted to do yesterday. One, I got off in what I'm calling 'little India' to go to that supermarket. They didn't really have what I wanted. But I got three things for stopping by. If my arms weren't going to take revenge on me, I would have gotten a box of mangoes. Instead, I have a container of coconut cookies. A bag of sweet thai chili photo chips and some garlic. I've been feeling odd just sprinkling the powered stuff when I'm cooking.

I then walked down to Journal Square and into Walgreens to see if they had any apple sauce to go with my chips. Yes, I dip my chips in apple sauce. Unsweetened or Cinnamon. The normal kind comes off too sweet to me.

Then I walked towards the buses to just watch mine ride away without me. So I decided to take the 80 again and this time get some lamb over rice for dinner while I waited for the 10 or the 119 to show up. And that worked out very well. That guy does business. At 9:30 at night people were pulling up in cars to get food. I guess it helped that most other places had already closed. But I'm sure a few of them normally came there anyway.

Oh. There was no apple sauce, at least not the jar. Just those cups and I think for the price they were asking I would just wait until I dragged my ass to ShopRite next week. I'm going to sleep most of tomorrow away then go to work on Sunday. Then I will be free for a few days unless someone calls for me to cover their shift. Which I will do since I only have two days of work this week. But I hope they won't call for me to cover a Monday shift.

So I'm nearing my house and I see that there is a notice up from the police department saying that no one can park around this tree because it's suppose to be trimmed. I kinda feel like that should be its own agency or the department of parks should expand to cover that. Just at first glance it doesn't seem like something the police should be doing. Oh well.

So I'm home with my warm drink and even hotter food. It tasted good. The cucumber was nice. I miss eating cucumbers. I ate a lot of them growing up and only when I taste it unexpectedly do I remember how much I like it.

After I ate that, I tried the coconut short bread type cookies. Good. I didn't expect them to crumble as much as they did. Then I tried a chip or two. Literally. They had the texture of crisps. Then I found the ice cream in the bag that I got from Walgreens. I had only been home an hour, but the travel time wasn't kind. I guess the hot food didn't help either. It was too soft for me to eat. It was completely melted all the way through. I was over charged for that, but I didn't notice until I was waiting for the bus and I didn't think going back there to make a fuss was worth $2.

So It's been two hours since I've placed it in the freezer. So I'll go see if I can eat it now.

Oh, I'm also rendering out a fractal as I type. I posted a very old one that I made and tagged back in 2017. Yeah. I was holding on to that one longer than I thought.

Oh. One last thing. I took a pic of my lunch. It's the same as the one I got yesterday.

Guess I should have opened the wrapper. Oh well.

Later.
