I packed my gloves

 

I just watched "Don't Look Up"

 So, the movie just finished, and I'm mildly impressed. 

It was better than I thought it would be. I put off watching it from the time I heard about it, and today, I decided that the idea of watching it, wasn't such a bad one. 

I went into it thinking that it was going to be a spoof comedy, on past the world is going to end by asteroid movies, but it wasn't. Not really. There was a little, very little, of that. It was more commentary on how Washington DC is and politics in general is being played these days. Which is down right sad. 

Near the end, things got even more somber and then the odd twist at the very end made me and possibly a few other people, question something that had been stated throughout the whole movie. 

I'm not going to give it away. That isn't why I'm writing this. I'm writing this to let you know that it's actually a good movie. You will get feels from this. 

As for the rest of my day. 

I was home today, woke up late, did just about nothing until I made myself go to the laundromat. It's been raining outside for most of the day. It's just gotten heavier now that the sun has set. It's washed away most of what was left of the snow, but if it's in the 20's again tomorrow, I'm looking at sheets of ice. 

Oh yeah. She-ra. Netflix is scrolling titles at me now that the movie is over and I stopped it from showing me previews. One was of She-ra. I started watching that and forgot to continue. I watched their, Netflix, version of He-man first. That was good. It didn't rehash anything. Thank goodness. It just picked up and did a nice little arc of it own and kinda ended things. 

She-ra on the other hand, that is an all new re-write. I'm only 11 eps in, but I like it so far. It's better than the original and I watched the original when it first aired. They meant well, but they didn't have a real clue, was only out to sell girl toys, and were very much a product of the times. 

I have to take out the trash later, like an hour from now. I think. 

Later.

Guess what?

 I was sitting at the cold bus stop waiting for my bus and before it was ready to leave, I got a text from one of my managers. They were opening later today and that I didn’t have to come in today and I could use one of my sick days, so I don’t loose my pay. 

After all, between delays and possible injury that could befall me trying to get to work, it wasn’t worth it. Also, they needed to cut some over head due to poor sales lately. So I took a day and now I’m back fixing myself a bowl of cereal for breakfast. I just tied up some of my clothes first. 

Got more snow pics for you too.

I may post one or two over at DA later. 

My day has started

 Well, it started with my alarm an hour ago, but I didn’t get out of bed right away, which has me sitting at the bus stop instead of boarding the light rail. But I’m still early which is a good thing considering the weather I have to contend with. 

Ok, day is over now.

I got up, around noon. Officially. 

I kept waking up before to use the bathroom. I'm starting to think that laying down is what makes me want to pee so much. Once I'm up, I don't have to run to the bathroom as much. 

So I got up, made some egg salad to have with some bread. I tinkered on line for an hour or so, after I mostly emptied one box. No, two boxes. One was in the kitchen that I emptied as I looked for some pepper for my eggs. I still didn't find it. And another box that I dug out when I realized it held my cardigans for work along with my head set that I gave up looking for the day before and broke out a new set that I had found since the first night here. I'm putting it back in it's box. I wasn't suppose to use it until this one died. Which may not be much longer. It seems to be turning itself off these days and don't even bother letting me know. 

Then I went to get some hair/curl pudding. My hair was so dry, and I made my sister tag along to get her new toilet seat. I wasn't going to get it for her. I would get the one that I thought would be a good fit, and she would find something wrong with it. So, she wanted a new toilet seat, she was going to get it herself. 

I wanted to leave about 4pm to catch the bus, but she took her time and we left closer to 4:30. We then waited for the Broadway bus, and she complained the entire time. I told her I was waiting for this bus since it was going to take me right to the place that I knew I could get my hair stuff. But she was cold and I could understand that. But I told her before we left, that we would be waiting for this bus and why. 

She got a few things from the hair/beauty store herself, and some stuff from the Dollar General store that was in the same area. We then got back on the same bus to go back to the hardware store to get her seat a few more things. Then we walked down to Ave C to another bus home before her bus ticket expired. There are three buses that end at the stop by our house. 

I was then witness for about 20-30 mins as my sister took off the old seat, sanitize the toilet like three times before putting on the new seat, that was wrapped in plastic, that she also sanitized. Yeah. I just kept my mouth shut and handed her Lysol disinfectant wipes one after the other. Why was I there at all? She needed someone to be in the room with her. I told you she wasn't all there, and I meant it. I wasn't being mean or trying to make a bad joke. She knows she's off, but she would freak out doing some things if someone isn't there with her. She freaked out a little just whipping the toilet down and found small evidence that it was used before she got there. 

Now I've stayed up too late and I have to go to bed to make sure I can get up in time, to get to work on time. Just because my boss said that he won't make fuss with me for showing up late, that doesn't mean that I'm going to stop trying to get to work as on time. 

I just have snow to worry about now. Yesterday it was ice, now it's snow. 

I. Hate. Winter.
