Memorial Day was yesterday….

So, yesterday was Memorial Day. The day when we pay our respects to those who served and didn’t get to come home (Armed Forces Day was for those who currently serve, and Veterans’ Day was for those who served previously).

But it was also a day that I ran out of insulin, and I realized that the pharmacy and the bus system were both running on a Sunday schedule. As irritating as that was (especially since I didn’t realize it when I planned my trip), one has to remember that again there are those who served and won’t be coming home, just to get po’ed at the fates because the pharmacy wasn’t open. Or the bus wasn’t running every 15 minutes….

So I gave some stuff up….

The economy is bad. prices are going up. Last week, I made a pit stop at Denny’s on the way home from work, and I decided that it was too expensive for my taste. McDonald’s was the same thing (over $5 for a cheeseburger….). And Jack(ing off) In The Box. And most of all was delivery. Most restaurants automatically raise their prices on the delivery apps, and then you add delivery charge’s on top of that, and a tip to the driver (hey, I have enough respect for those in the gig economy that I will always tip), and a simple Big Mac combo is now almost $30+.

And yes, I’m writing right after I had Denny’s delivered via Uber Eats. Maybe once in a while. McDonalds can be a treat. But, gasp, I think I may need to learn to cook more than macaroni and cheese and bachelor nachos.

Now if you’ll excuse, I need to clutch my pearls….

Ok, so I took a month off….

Ok, so I took a month off from blogging. Sorry, guys but sometimes there is a real life out there, and things have to be attended to….

Rebuilt my system. Decided to give Windows 10 one last try on my tower. And that lasted all of about 48 hours until the Epic Games Store decided to take a dump on me while downloading. So it was back to Windows 11. Fortunately, I had figured this out, and I had also downloaded the Win11 drivers when I downloaded the Win10 drivers.

100+ days in. Cheetos-Face is still corrupt. The best thing that could happen to this country is for him to be lawfully removed from office….

We lost Pope Francis. Habemus Papum: Pope Leo XIV. The first American Pope.

I had been writing an email off and on since September of last year. Last night, I finished it and sent it off. Didn’t want to do it, but I had no choice….
