Fall is upon us….

Last night at work, it was my turn to go out and clean up the parking lot. Usually when I go outside it rains. This was no exception. It was just a light misting, but still moisture was coming out of the sky, and I had to be out in it. Temperatures are cooling off to the point that my AC compressor is now cycling off (and in fact, I’m routinely turning it off). And in addition to the sh*t-load of pumpkin spice k-pods I got a couple of weeks ago, 3 liters of pumpkin spice coffeemate arrived today.

Fall must be here. Bring on the No Fun League.

So, my birthday was yesterday...

 It was my birthday yesterday. Got lots of well-wishes on Facebook (the high point of my birthday). Bought my own present (the new Flight Simulator. See the previous post). And my brother was going to make me a birthday dinner (or at least he said he was when I said I was ordering pizza). So I woke up last night (I sleep during the days because I work overnights), and was greeted by a stack of Domino's gift cards. You might have your opinion about them, but they deliver, and I hardly have a problem with them. More importantly, unlike grubhub, doordash, or uber eats, when they deliver, they know which driveway to go up. I can't tell you how many times I've had to go running after delivery drivers... And Domino's pizza is also cheaper than even McDonalds...

New Flight Stimulator is out...

 Finally. After over a decade, they released a new Flight Simulator yesterday. And it was my birthday. So I went over to Steam and bought it. And then spent three+ hours downloading it. So far there are issues with my joystick controller, but I'm impressed with the graphics. While troubleshooting the controller, I ended up messing the software installation up so much that I decided a rebuild was warranted. I know what's going to happen. I'm going to end up getting the new Airbus controller. But given that price, and the $132+ that I just shelled out, that's not going to happen for a while. And then there's the video card I've been eyeballing. The card I put in a year ago is now the bare minimum for FS 2020.

Yesterday was also the first day of the Caribbean Premier League. Hooray West Indies (which is also the cheer I give whenever Pakistan plays)...

OK, about last night…

It was most likely dehydration, caffeine withdrawal, and something I ate. Headache and nausea eventually went away on their own after a cup of tea. So, I’m going to cut back on my coffee (note: sleep is suitable substitute for caffeine, especially on a day off). And I should probably watch my overindulging…

Ugh…

Woke up with a headache. And nausea. Figuring caffeine withdrawal I fixed myself a cup of coffee and drank it. And 10 minutes later, it tried to come back up. I don’t need to be barfing on the bus to work, or while at work, so I called out (applying the mantra to stay home if you’re sick).

I actually wanted to go to work tonight, but I also don’t need to be tossing my lunch on the job either….
