All Things Must Come To An End

All things must come to an end. Including vacations. Now is time for me to retire. And go back to work tonight.

And last night I also decided to go back to Windows 11. For some reason it just looks better than Windows 10…

So I got a text from my brother this morning….

This morning while I was ‘adulting’ in Wally World I got a text from my brother asking what I wanted for dinner tonight. A thought about the matter, and I replied spaghetti. Then I added ‘or spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, baked beans, spam, spam, spam, and spam’ (think the spam sketch). So he came home, and I snuck a peak into his shopping bag and saw spaghetti noodles. So, a while later, and I stick my head into the kitchen and he’s chopping and sauteing. And I noticed something different. He’s making spaghetti. With spam. What started as a gag text went full UNO reverse. Oh well. Live and learn. And it was good. In fact it was even better than his normal spaghetti.

BTW, it was my birthday today. Received lots of well-wishes on Facebook, and I tried to respond to them all.

So tonight is the last night of my vacation. All things must come to an end. But I only have to work 2 nights, and then my regular weekend starts….

Vacation Day 3: Report

Yes, I’m on vacation. But today was also payday, and adulting is something that sometimes you really can’t take off from. So I paid bills. And now I’m back to being broke. Did nothing last night. Aside from the Nap Attack. Weather forecast has it to be slightly cooler today than this past week. So hopefully I can get a full night’s sleep in one sitting….

Vacation: Day 3….

Nothing is on the agenda and I think will be the day that I actually achieve it. Finally got to Wally World this morning (since my circadian rhythm is fucked up, that counts as yesterday). The heat of the day has past and the AC is finally cooling my room down to a livable temperature. Even with both AC’s going, my apartment is still in the 80’s when the heat of the day hits. The AC in my room is generally good for bringing the temperature down about 20 degrees compared to what it is outside. So at about 5-ish when it finally got too hot for me to sleep, and I see that my AC has it down to 78, that tells me that we’re pushing three figures outside. In a semi-related story, I can’t sleep if it’s the mid 70’s or higher…. I think a nap attack will in order later on tonight…

Vacation, Day 2: Update, Yet Again….

After I put my laundry away, and started on the Diet Coke that I had purchased on the grocery store run, at about 11:00, the nap attack hit. So last night I did what most everybody does during nighttime. I slept. Now I’m up again and watching a rerun of a The Premiership match (btw Peacock carries Rugby).

Current Agenda: Another attempt at Wally World. And all the while, downloading all my games again, after wiping my computer on Monday. I’ve already reinstalled all the software I need to by something resembling productive on my computer, but we all know that not why I have a computer….

Vacation Day 2: Update

Got some laundry done. Yes, I’m on vacation,  but I still have to adult. And I now don’t have to worry about it for a while. And I was also able to get to the store today (basically, my usual Tuesday morning errands were done 1/2 day late).

Now to resume sitting on my ass….

Vacation: Day 2…

So after the aborted attempt to shop and Wally World this morning, I then decided to try and sleep off the heat wave. Ended up waking a couple of hours ago, and I couldn’t go back to sleep….

So, right now, I’m chilling in my air-conditioned room, watching the Mariners game. I should try and venture out to the store later….

Vacation Day 1: Final Report...

Didn't do laundry. Went to the local Wally World, and then decided I didn't need anything, so I came back home (the fact that there were no hand baskets, Ave nobody knew where they were at didn't contribute to my effort to stay there either.

Now I'm going to bed early age sleep of the great wave. No plans for 'tomorrow' as it should be on vacation days.... 

Vacation: Day 1 Update...

 Got home about an hour late. Actually even later than that, as I had to take the side trip through Puyallup, and so I got off the bus on Pacific Avenue right when that trip was cancelled. So I walked the final 24 blocks home. Right when it was getting into the '80s (yay heat waves).

So I get home and my first official act of my vacation was to peel off all my clothes and take a shower. And turn on both AC's.

Then I did the stupid. Decided I wanted to run Windows 10 more than Windows 11. And so I nuked it. Again. But on the bright side of this is that there was a recent major update of Mozilla Thunderbird, and I was able to get it to play nice with my google calendar and contacts (again)....

Woke up earlier this evening and ordered pizza. It is currently 2:20 in the morning (still on the work overnights, sleep during the day routine). The remainder of my 'day' will probably be watching TV, and a possible trip to Wally World and laundry run later in the morning....

Vacation: Resume...

Vacation: Commence!

Well, today starts my vacation. Nothing much is planned. I'm fact, doing nothing is my plan.

I just got off work, And my vacation is starting off proper. Both busses that I would normally take have cancelled there trips. So after a Subway break, it's the scenic route through Puyallup....

Vacation: Commence! 

Not Sleeping In Today….

For the past 5 years or so, I’ve worked nights and slept during the days. Today was no exception. Being a day off tonight, I should’ve slept in. But no. I was dreaming about closing at Mrs. Fields. So I got up early. I already know how to close Mrs. Fields, and I don’t need to reenact it in my head. Besides, it’s been over two years since it closed, well over 5 years since I worked a closing shift there, and well over 10 years since I worked there for anything more the 10 in a week. So I got up.

Commence excessive coffee intake. BTW, I got Pumpkin Spice creamer today….

I’m still here….

Yes, it’s been awhile since I’ve written here. Sometimes life just gets in the way. Or more likely I’ve been too busy trying to fuck up my computer, constantly floating between Windows 10 and Windows 11. Windows 11 has won. I just need to remind myself that every time I start this I’m going to end up exactly where I started.

But I’m still here and I’m still wearing pants…
