Thursday

I had a hard time getting to the gym late this morning. On Tuesdays and Thursdays there is a class in the pool at 9. So ideally, I'd be finishing up my laps about 8:45. Which means I need to get in the pool no later than 7:40/45. Which means I need to leave for the gym about 7:30. But I was all ready to go and killing time at 7. It's a struggle...

I got in a good swim and then stopped at the grocery. So by the time I got on the bridge to come home, things where a bit better traffic wize.

BECU will not let me log into my account with this Chromebook. "Access Unavailable In order to safeguard your account, we have activated additional security measures. For assistance, please contact us at 800 233 2328 Monday through Friday 7am-7pm and Saturday 9am-1pm. Reference case 14250343549965485731 to help us resolve this issue for you." I get a different case number every time I try. I can log in with my phone, a tablet, my other Chromebook and my Windows PC. I cannot even get in using a different user agent. Their IT scheme is such a mess. They are always playing one weird thing after another.

I will call and they will tell me to clear my cache (which I have done and it doesn't help) and then they will tell me to use another browser which doesn't help and then they will either tell me I'm SOL or to use another computer. And I will be pissed off. I'm already pissed off. And I haven't even called yet! I need to get over that before I call. They won't care so I'll just be grinding myself even more.

EDIT: They told me to use an incognito tab which I should have thought of myself and then I could have those 17 minutes I waited on old while listening to their oh so insulting and annoying hold messages. It's not a good solution but it will work.

I need some different music on my swim iPod Shuffle. I'm going to take everything off and start fresh.

I need to put the groceries away and then I think some sewing. The normal, regular, really nice day.

Saved from ass wiping! Whew!!!

About 18 months ago, I splurged big time and got a bidet toilet seat. And my ass has worn one huge smile ever since. Seriously, it's amazing. Once you bidet, you can't go back.

There used to be a blog article by a guy in Australia that explained it all so convincingly but it's gone. Basically, his point was that if you were covered in mud, you wouldn't grab a roll of toilet paper to clean it off... you'd get into the shower. If your ass is so covered, why scrape if off with paper? Shower it off. It's far more efficient and comfortable.

But, this morning, my bidet wouldn't bidet efficiently. PANIC!! So I wrote a note to the folks I bought it from who sent me to the folks to made it who asked me if I wanted to send it back for fixing. It's under a 100% warranty for another 18 months. So I said YES! And then realized that 1. I tossed out the regular toilet seat last month and 2. I don't wanna wipe!!!

So, off to Home Depot for the cheapest toilet seat they've got. I had asked for how to uninstall instructions and with those came some cleaning and trouble shooting tips and BINGO! I fixed it!!! Whew And yeah. Saved.

I could return the Home Depot toilet seat but I think I'll just hang on to it for insurance - like an umbrella. As long as you have it, you don't need it.

In between all the toilet drama, I made a couple of new dolls. Baseball tonight. There are four games left. I'm going to miss those guys.

Oh Mint, you are so funny

I just logged on to Mint to see this. It cracked me up. I honestly thought I spent more than $2 a month. The $600 is all the shoes I bought from Zappos. The refund for those I sent back hasn't hit yet. The delta was $150 which still gives the $2 a run for its money...
