On vacation….

So a few weeks ago, I put in to take last night and tonight off. And it was approved. And it seems like right after it was approved, the Stay At Home orders were issues. So, I’m spending 4 nights Netflixing and Chilling. Initially I took this weekend off for the opening weekend of the Indian Premier League. But again, that went out the window since India is now on a 3 week lockdown. But still, there is a chance to sleep in and stream where I would otherwise work.

Btw, I was able to find toilet paper today while I was in the store (Wally World). But I decided that Taco Tuesday would be on a Sunday, and so I was procuring ingredients for said tacos, and they were out of tortillas. So, it was Nachos instead. And did I mention my brother is a really good cook?…

Another night on lockdown….

Technically it’s not a lockdown, as you can go out to get some air, as long as you’re 6 feet away from people. Earlier this evening I headed out to the local 7-11 (knowing and convenience stores and corner markets are exempt), and was greeted by a sign that it was closed. My brother’s employer has made the decision to close for now (they could’ve stayed open since they offer take-out), but there is a concern there own health. Mrs. Fields has closed for the duration. So, I’m at home for the second night of my weekend. Another night of Netflix and chill. Or Hulu. Or Amazon Prime. Or Disney+…

Who knew?…

So, last night, I got up from bed (work overnight, sleep during the day), and I told my brother (rommate) that I was going to order pizza, and if he wanted something. Normally he declines, bought last night he wanted a chicken parmesan sandwich. That sounded good, so I ordered one, too. Add wings, a salad, and a diet coke, and it was delivered.

But who new you can order dinner from Dominos without even getting one pizza?

I think I was productive last night….

I think I was productive last night. I did laundry. Filled out the survey for the Census online. Now I just need to put the laundry away…

On lockdown….

So Governor Insley has now issued a stay at home order to fight the spread of the Covid 19 pandemic. Basically, unless you really need to, stay at home. Not me. Where I work is considered ‘essential infrastructure’ so I have to go to work. But such is life. So for my weekend, the task at hand is Netflix and chill. Or do laundry. Or both…

I did have to take a sick Saturday night. What happened was I went to sit on the throne (at about 7 pm) before getting dressed for work, and I realized I was ‘stuck up’. And it wasn’t going to end easily for me. Unfortunately this was one of those times where I would get in less trouble for calling out in the first place than spend half the night on the throne trying to pass a cork (which I was finally able to at 4 am). And I get yelled at enough at work. So, it was barely mentioned last night when I returned to work, and we got on with the task at hand.

I think I need more fiber…

In other news...

Apparently, Tom Brady has left the Patriots. It still doesn't change the fact that wherever he plays, he will still have to wear a Tom Brady jersey... 

EVERYBODY PANIC!

So, apparently the best protection against the corona virus is to build a toilet paper fort… All the stores are apparently out of it. So on my weekend, the agenda to go storm someone’s tp fort. Not really, but you need to use common sense here. In Washington, they’ve closed bars and restaurants, but takeout and delivery are still viable (even Dominos has a great sale going on).

So this is pretty much a Netflix and chill type weekend. I’m not going to go anywhere (I’m still trying to recover from whatever I caught two weeks ago). But I’m feeling better enough that I’ve weaned myself off the cold medication (which people are panic buying unnecessarily now, too). Even, then I notice that when I took it, it would work for 3 hours and then the symptoms would rebound, coming back even worse than before I took it. But beyond the occaisional cough drop, I’m now running natural…

Super Tuesday 2.0

Another round of primaries today. Including Washington State. The Democrat field has thinned down considerably since last week. It’s now basically Bernie vs. Biden.

Once again, beware the Idiots of March…

Feeling like crap…

I was scheduled to work tonight. But last week, at least two co-workers had colds. And by the time I had gotten off work Monday morning, at least one of them gave it to me. It’s not the Corona Virus (the symptoms just don’t match up). But I did spend my weekend feeling like crap. Woke up this afternoon, and I decided I’m in no shape to go to work, and so in compliance with the memo posted by the breakroom door, which said if you feel sick then don’t go to work, I called out. I have enough sick time to cover this tonight, so I’m going to spend the night drinking tea and watching cricket, and hope I feel better tomorrow….

Beware the Idiots of March

It's Super Tuesday today. We may know who the Democratic candidate may be tonight. This past weekend, Buttigieg, Klobachar, and Steyer all threw in the towel on their respective candidacies, with the former two endorsing Joe Biden. While Sanders and Warren do have really good ideas, especially with regards to health care, my main concern is getting President Cheetos-Face out, and going all the way to the left isn't going to help. So my vote in the primary is going for Biden. But even if he doesn't get the nomination, just remember all the Democratic candidates are more qualified for the White House than the current incumbent....

I know that Super Tuesday isn't on March 15 (the Ides of March), but still beware the Idiots of March...
