One Of The Drawbacks…

There is a drawback to having a western facing windows in the spring. While having a graveyard job. There is something about the bright, afternoon sun shining through your window when your trying to sleep.  Fortunately, it’s still my weekend so I can get away with a 3-4 hour nap tonight.

And suprisingly and in a totally unrelated story, it is cheaper to order pizza that it is to Uber Arby’s. And this was 2 specialty pizzas so I don’t have to cook all night long, whereas with Uber, it was only a meal and a half…..

It finally works...

 So last week on my vacation, I started off by wiping my computer and putting Windows 10 back on it. For something stupid. I wanted to run Windows Subsytem for Andriod (with Google Play) on it. I could do it on Windows 11. What happened was 4 hours of frustration, and I ended up back with Windows 11, and I spent the rest of my vacation but my computer back together.

So my weekend started today, and of course I decided to be the idiot and try it again. And this time I got it to work. Which now means that anything that my computer can do in Windows 11 it can do in Windows 10 as well.

Now the problem is I just need to pick an OS and stay with it....

The Last Day….

Thus the last day of my vacation has begun. My cold has hopefully settled down. Fortunately through multiple 4 hour naps, I’ve been able to get enough sleep before the cough woke me up (and kept me awake).

As I mentioned earlier when my vacation started, I f*cked up my computer when my vacation started, so in between napping and watching TV, I’ve been putting my computer back together. My computer pretty much has been on for the past 3 days while I’ve redownloaded all my games from the Epic Games Store, EA Games, GOG, Ubisoft Connect, Amazon Games App, Steam, and Battle.net & Legacy Games. Not to mention the Amazon App Store and now Google Play (Microsoft may have sunsetted Windows Subsystem for Android, but I still have a use for it, and I can make it work).

So tonight’s agenda is finishing putting the computer back together (and hopefully not nuking it form orbit again). And in the background on the TV will be Beat Bobby Flay and whatever is on the Science Channel, and it will end with the opening night of the Indian Premier League…..

Vacation: Day 4….

So this morning, I went to Wally World and got my vial of insulin. Disregarding the lesson I was supposed to learn from the last time I got something from the deli hot case, and I got some jalapeƱo poppers and mozzarella cheese bites. I guess I have to live dangerously.

Tonight’s agenda is Guy’s Grocery Games. And possible Science Channel. Or Netflix. The only important thing for me to do is nothing at all….

Vacation Day 3 Update:

Like I said in a previous post, I wiped my computer on day one. Today I’m now to the point that I installed Open Live Writer so I can write this post….

Woke up this afternoon to an email that Dominos was 50% off this week. After having my groceries delivered this morning. So, of course I ordered pizza. Most if it’s in the fridge, but pizza is just as good cold from the fridge as it is hot.

Tonight’s agenda: do as little as possible. Currently, I’m watching a little NIT action. A trip to Wally World in the morning for insulin and whatever is on the Science channel overnight. That is if I don’t decide to do a 4 hour nap…

Vacation: Status Update....

 Stayed up all 'night' yesterday (since I work overnight, I tend to sleep during the day). But it was worth it. Took a day trip to the Commons Mall, and met up with my old boss from Mrs. Fields. Caught up over a pretzel, and he wants me to work for him in his current venture. I had to hard pass on it over location. This was the first time that I've been to this mall since the cookie store closed. It is essentially a shell of its former self. While I do want to see small businesses succeed, I just don't think that malls are going to cut it anymore....

So I got home, took a 4 hour nap, got up, ate something, and went back to bed. Today is a really late start on my vacation. I had to do a session of adulting this morning, but the 2 bills are paid. And I'm having my Target run delivered.... Otherwise the rest of day's agenda is just sitting on my ass, watching TV until my brains ooze out of my ears....

Vacation: Update

Fucked up my tower again last night. I figured out a way to get Windows Subsystem for Andriod to work on Windows 10. But unfortunately, I couldn't get Google Play to work with it, so I'm back to square 1. But what the heck. It's my computer and I'll wreck it if I want to. So, back to Windows 11. This time with Google Play *and* the Amazon Appstore (and rooted, too). Too bad, Microsoft has decided to sunset this. And this post BTW is being written on the blogger app for Andriod. On my tower....

But for now: L et the vacationing begin!

Pizza gone….

So yes I ordered pizza last night. And it’s now gone. One thing about Dominos is that it’s just as good hot right at delivery and cold straight from the fridge the next day. Growing up, whenever the parental units got pzza, I had to be explicitly told that it was not to be my breakfast the next morning.

There is now sorrow in the house. The pizza is gone.

I Got Better. Finally….

So when we left our hero last week, I had started on the wonderful journey of food poisoning. And that started 4 1/2 days of diarrhea. And that one time when I barfed up my brother’s really good spaghetti. In the parking lot at work. So after nothing but chocolate, gatorade, and ritz crackers for too long a time, my ass stopped acting like a firehose every time I took a dump Sunday morning. Finally.

So last night, I had to test myself. Ordered pizza. And kept the whole pie down. And it was Dominos even….

Lesson learned. Avoid the hot case at the Wally World deli….

Something I Ate….

So I called out from work Sunday night. Felt a little bit under the weather and decided to sleep it off before it got any worse. It looked like that was a success. So, Monday morning, I head down to Wally World to get a vial of insulin, and I then bought some groceries. Swung by the hot case and grabbed a couple of breakfast sandwiches. Caught the bus home, and then I enjoyed them. By then they had cooled off. Big mistake. I’ve been regretting that since earlier this morning. Let’s just say that I’m quite regular now. Oh well. Live and learn. I just have to sweat it out, and let it pass (literally)…

Super Tuesday Today…

So, today is Super Tuesday. If you’re state is having a primary today, then vote for the most qualified candidate. Otherwise, beware the Idiots of March….
