susandennisI was born and lived in the eastern timezone for the first 40 years of my life. For most of those years, I stayed up til at least midnight on 12/31 to ring in the New Year in one way or another. Then I moved to Minnesota and discovered that the Time Square ball drops there at 11 pm. WTF?? My world was rocked. If Minnesota can play fast and lose with midnight, what's to stop me from moving it to 9 pm? Turns out, nothing. So that's when I went to sleep last night.
Last month, I bought 3 tickets to each of 3 Mariner games in June. Since they don't do paper tickets, you don't have anything but bytes, a hope and a prayer that you will get into the game. For some reason, it struck me this morning that I should go check and make sure that at least the bytes are still there and I can get to them. Two are at Ticketmaster and one is at SeatGeek. I found them all, got order numbers and screen shots and am now feeling as confident as is possible that we will be bitching about the cold hot dogs in June.
I have no plans for today. I did all the laundry yesterday. I also made what I intended to be a quick run to the grocery store but, apparently also every other person in Issaquah had the same exact idea at the same exact time. AND QFC knew about it cause they had every check stand open and long lines at each. My leg and hip bugs me if I stand for a long time but other than that, it was fine. Good people watching and only a couple of people were not gracious.
I forgot to get milk for my brother's coffee next week BUT I did finally remember to get some fake milk to try on my oatmeal. I got oat milk - extra rich. It's good til mid-February so I have time to work up the nerve to try it.
There's a new puzzle out in the elbow so I might do some of that. The old puzzle needs to be torn down. I like to put the edge pieces in a baggie. If the next person who does the puzzle doesn't want that, they can just empty the baggie and mix them in with the other pieces. But, I know, I appreciate having all the edges isolated. It's kind of a pain but if they puzzle is good - like this last one - I'll do it.
I think the cats are settling into their new food. They don't love it but they are no longer sitting around waiting for their Fancy Feast. I can no longer tell the difference between Julio's pee clump and Biggie's which is the best sign. That tofu litter continues to be a giver.
I should go down to the gym today and I might but if you are betting - hedge yours.
