Mundane little things

 On Friday I forgot my hat. Yeah, I walk out into falling snow without a head covering. It’s a good thing I had a long scarf. I draped it over my head when the snowing picked up on my way home that night

I was off this weekend and I barely got around to touching the third bedroom/office/storage space. I had better luck on Saturday then Sunday. At least I able to move a few things around and found three sets of earbuds. Two of them wireless. I didn’t even make it into the room on Sunday.

And I “cooked” Saturday too. I fried some breaded okra that we have been holding on to for months. Some cauliflower rice that I mixes some red beans into after I steamed it.  And then there was seasoned fish that I steamed/baked in the oven. 

On Sunday night I forgot to put the trash out for pickup because we are still getting use to the schedule. 

Today, I have a dental appointment. It’s for a cleaning, but my sister is trying to wedge in a root canal or two. She has a dentist that is fast. She clams. One time, once, I turned down getting it done when I had a very rare Monday free, he is in office only on Mondays. Because my feet were killing me and I had a long week ahead of me and I just wanted the day to rest and she has not let it go and it’s turned into me dragging my feet to get anything done, dental wise. I will not rant. I will not rant.

So today when I was leaving to catch a bus this morning And I was locking the front door, I realized that I didn’t have my scarf on, Hat yes, scarf no. Guess I don’t get to hangout outside today taking pics. 

Oh well. 

Still playing Hedges everyday. I started to edit this old story of mine and reworked it into a guy telling a story and posting it over on DA for feed back. Which I don’t expect by the way. And as I posted the story I realized that I had given the date a name. I spent the second day dealing with the ending and inserting some needed formatting to separate the story he was telling from what was going on in real time and I missed whee name of the guy so for the rest of the story I just call home ‘dare’. 😆 So I know one thing to fix today when I get home.

It just about time for my cleaning, so that is it for now. 

Later. Take care. 

Good Cold Morning To Ya

I was wondering why I felt so cold. I failed to check the weather today before leaving the house. I was supposed to leave like 15 mins before I actually did. 

I was hoping that the Broadway bus would show up before too long. The transit apps don’t track it so I was just hoping it was before the bus I did know about that wasn’t showing up for like 30 mins. 

And it did. I just forgot to get off at the overpass. I was waiting for the bus to turn like the 81 does, forgetting that it didn’t. So I panicked when I saw that we were driving pass train tracks on the wrong side of the bus. 

I started to get off, when I realized that I could just stay on until we got to the next station. Below you see the station that I ended up at. 

When it’s summertime this open air concept is great. But we live a good deal north of the equator. We should have enclosed options too. But nope. They are all open to the elements. I hope I make it to work on time today and get to order and eat breakfast. 

 

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.
