My eye appointment is at noon. It takes 15 mins to get there by car. It's now 9:15. I just got an email from the building manager that Bay 3's garage door is broken. I'm pretty sure that is the garage door I need ( Read more... )

I have Fitbit Premium. It's a service you pay for that provides more stuff than the Fitbit free version does. Not a whole lot more, but, in my case, a lot of health monitoring stuff that I like to know about. At some point last fall, Fitbit fucked up my Premium subscription. Their website shows I have two Premium accounts and implies I may be ( Read more... )

Today was my appointment at the optometrist. And it was great. I went to get glasses so I can read the computer, pill bottles and the Tivo program descriptions on the TV ( Read more... )

When I was really little, my Dad explained to me one day about what success is, how to spot it and why it is different for everyone. I was really too young to understand but I still had the words when I got old enough ( Read more... )

Today's the day they release the real estate tax numbers and I won! I figured it would be a little lower than recently because the assessment was a little lower than recently. BUT turns out, the amount is smaller than the previous four years! Woot.

There is no way I could care less about the super bowl. But, since most of the world doesn't give a shit about baseball, I get the drift. And it only matters in my world really in my Twitter feed which will today be filled with stuff I don't understand or care about. Yesterday, I was listening to NPR and three rap? artists or hip hop or something ( Read more... )

I got everything I wanted at the dollar store which, of course is now the dollar and a quarter store. It's amazing to me how much of a difference that quarter makes. I used to breeze through there and buy everything I wanted because it was only a buck. Now it's $1.25 and I didn't buy lots of stuff I would have. That's two bits o' mind games right ( Read more... )

I pay big bucks for lots o' internet. I get what I pay for. Except on those really relatively few times when I don't. Yesterday, I was watching TV - Britbox - and no internet. WTF? It's been so long since I've had an outage, it took me a minute to figure out why the interrogation of the suspect was so abruptly interrupted. Plot twist ( Read more... )

But, first, breaking news! After some laser play and some Stickie fun, Mr. King Of It All, retreated to his new nest. He found the level with the heating pad and just settled on end. No birds today so he's watching me instead.

Turns out at least one problem Biggie has with the new perch is the fluffy pillows. I put some treats on the top layer and he finally climbed up and walked carefully around the edge to get them. I took the pillows out and tried the treats again and this time, he got all the way up and off the ledge. Ha. No biggie, I don't like those shaggy pillows ( Read more... )
