Left over from yesterday:
1. The IRS was a letter telling me not to forget to declare the $400 they paid me in interest as income. Bite me.
2. The screaming shelter in place thing turned out to be a test or mistake or something. After about an hour of radio silence, we got an email that didn't really explain it or give instructions. Turns out only 2 floors got the warning. The End. Lordhelpus if there ever really is a disaster.
Also I recently heard of several people who live here and currently have working guns in their apartment. It is against the rules and when you ask specifically (which I did) you are told there are none. So old people shooting rampage. Could be a thing.
I got up this morning and had some oatmeal and internet and then went and had a wonderful swim. No one but me and my music was excellent.
I need to go out today. Safeway - oatmeal and I forgetwhatelse but I have a list. And Hobby Lobby - Martha says some of my bunnies need to be brown, not white. Plus the current crop is eating up all my white yarn at an alarming rate. And I need a frame and a small shadow box.
I have a Wyze scale. I step on it in the morning and it measures everything. My weight, my BMI, my body fat, my muscle mass, body water, bone mass, etc, fuck, it probably measures the weight over everyone I talk to in a day and their attitude. BUT, at the bottom of the list, it gives me my metabolic age. I will be 77 in March of this year but Wyze tells me my metabolic age is 74. Wyze had 3 scales, I bought the middle one. Wonder if I had gone for the top of the line, they would have shaved another year or two off. I also wonder what age I'd be if I were not 100 pounds overweight and grossly out of shape. 50? or 40?
I started reading a book last night that had the most annoying character in it. I decided to give it one night before I gave up. And then, glory be! The annoying character went missing which seems to be the plot of the book so if she says gone the whole time, then maybe? But, what if I don't want her to be found will that kill the plot for me? I think I'll give it another night.
Endurance auto shit. And Endurance life insurance. I get 3 to 4 emails of these a day - they are so clearly spam - they don't even have alpha characters in their feakin' title. I mark them as spam every time and yet, Google still thinks they are not. I keep hoping they will go away and they keep not going away.
The Mariners announced their TV deal yesterday. There will be a cable channel and it will, likely, cost a fortune. There will be a channel add on for the streaming service - also no cost announced. BUT if all you want is Mariners - $20 a month or $100 a year. Since I paid $70 a month for the stupid add on and one year it was $100 a month, I think this is a heck of deal even if I will have to watch it on mute. And it is unclear how much more I will have to pay to get other games. I haven't decided if I'm still a Phillies fan or not :) I guess it depends on the price.

Ugh. That sounds awful.
I don't know who in my neighborhood owns guns. I've never heard one fired, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. Most of the people on my street are immigrants of one form or another, and don't seem the type to be packing heat, but I do worry, nonetheless. I never have ever felt safe in the presence of a gun.
