What's everyone up to right now?

At least he's still alive. I'd hate to find out otherwise with one of my spawn. Hopefully it turns out well for him and you.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Today is my 40th day sober!








Not in a row, or anything.

Watching baseball and drinking Pepsi. I really screwed up my sisters' birthdays this year. I was thinking that I had another week to order their gifts, but Thursday as I lay in bed waiting to fall asleep, I realized we were celebrating this weekend, not next weekend. So I got up and fired off a flurry of orders, the bulk of which didn't arrive until 5 o'clock tonight. Thankfully nothing was damaged in shipment or anything. I did order Visa gift cards which aren't due to arrive until tomorrow sometime, but if those are late, I'll give Target gift cards instead and use the Visa cards myself.

Because I tried and couldn't find any tabs for "Bonaparte's Retreat", particularly the famous William Stepp version that became the basis for Aaron Copland's "Hoedown", I decided to take a transcription from IMSLP and turn it into tab my own damn self. So, on the off chance that anyone else has a mandolin (or any 4-string instruments that can comfortably be tuned to DDAD), here it is:

Watching baseball, cooking sous vide salmon, and trying out my new watt meter. The A/C and rice cooker are both on a 20 amp circuit. The A/C uses 800-1000 watts and the rice cooker is pulling 800 watts.

Allegedly on holidays.  I made the mistake of coming up home for a week. [We need a whip smiley]

Making chili in the Instant Pot. Last time I used ground turkey, which was fine, but beef wasn't much more, so I'm using ground beef this time.

Installing Windows 7 on an old computer that I want to use for testing. It's proving to be a pain in the ass. It's been nine years since I used this computer for anything and I'm tempted to just chuck it in the river.

Trying to calm down as I went sideways on a pastor a couple hours ago.

Second time in about a month this guy and a sidekick has approached me at the gas station wanting me to buy a small loaf of banana bread or something with the money going to a domestic abuse ministry.

I had brought my laptop back to the shop for the repair needed and had time to kill. Picked up some med refills and something to drink after leaving the station and stewing the whole time. Went back and asked Mr. Godperson to explain to me why his god allows domestic abuse so that they have to be out trying to sell loaves of questionable bread to people. I wanted to know why god doesn't just stop the abuse so such begging isn't necessary.

Basically lost my shit on this guy, explaining that I was beaten by my parents from before I could remember and that I had prayed and prayed for it to stop. Then god let my first husband die and gave me breast cancer. Asshole asked if he could pray with me. Lucky I didn't punch him right in the damn mouth.

He had no answer other than he was sorry. I pointed to my car and advised they NEVER approach me again.

I can't recall the last time I was that mad.

These are the days, that luckily don't happen often, when I wish I still drank.

But my laptop is fixed and the boss is paying most the repair cost so now I can move on with my life, such as it is.

Nursing a sore neck. It hurt so bad Tuesday night, I had to sleep in my easy chair. I think I pulled a muscle picking up a heavy bag of groceries. I switched my pain med from Aleve to Tylenol and am feeling somewhat better. I'm going to take a hot shower this afternoon.
