a little of this and a little of that

About an hour before I turn out the light, I get ready for bed and get into bed with my audio book and a tablet with a mindless game. While I listen and play, I take off my watch and charge it. Last night, I forgot to put it back on so Fitbit has no opinion about how I slept. We only have my word on it and I say it was good. Really good. I am so going to miss cold nights. I figured we still have a month of really cold ones. Then a couple of months of semi-cold ones. Then it's hot weather sleeping.

My webhosting company made a change. They gave me ample warning and instructions which I only partially paid attention to so starting last night, susandennis.com turned into 404 land. I opened a ticket. And immediately, got a really nice, simple note with all the info I needed in the way I could understand it and I was able to make the fix.

In the early days of websites, web hosting companies were ephemeral at best. You'd go in and set up your website and the company would disappear in two weeks taking your work with them. It was wild. I learned backup, offsite backup, backup to your backup and always register your domain with a company different than your web host.

But then I found TotalChoiceHosting. I just looked and discovered that I found them in 2005. Wow. That's like a million web years ago. They were cheap then and now they are cheaper in that I have about 4 times the bandwidth and data storage for the same price. I keep old stuff there but also build pages for my own use all the time. So it's a nice have. Plus, their support has always been superior.

Susandennis.com should be back tomorrow-ish. (I have backup of my most used pages at blogspot.com - backup/backup/backup.

I have not been very good about getting out of the house. Maybe my once-a-month grocery shopping needs to morph into to an every other day thing. I don't know. What I really need is to just go out and walk and I live in the perfect spot for it and the weather is great for it right now. And I know I won't do it. Sigh. But, today, I'm going to Goodwill. It's seniors day and why not.

Shower time.

Success!

I did go to Goodwill and discovered that they have done a store shuffle and rearrange and made shopping there so much better. They spread stuff out so its far less jumbly. I scored a nice big silpat mat for $2 and a nice pitcher for this summer's iced tea.

Just this week, I found a Dash egg boiler/cooker reduced in the Amazon Warehouse. $16. I was delighted and ordered it right up. Due to get here is weekend.

Today, in Goodwill, I bought the exact same thing for $3! It was missing the little measuring cup with a pin to puncture the eggs. I found the measures, gabbed a sharpie and a pill bottle and made my own. I grabbed a T-pin from my knitting bag. I'm whole and I canceled the Amazon order.

When I got home, I emptied out a shelf over the counter and it is now my Dash shelf. It now contains waffle irons/griddle/grill and the egg cooker. All in one place.

I had canceled a different Amazon order but not in time. They delivered it today. No biggie. Now I have tomorrow's outing! I'll take it to the very nearby return center.

While I was out today, I drove by the gynormous vaccine center down the street. It was busy. It's two long blocks from here and the busy has not really worked it's way up to this end. I was also happy to see Al's Sausage all set up. Al's is one of the best outside-the-stadium hot dog vendors. He's been out there forfreakinever. His dogs are good and his workers are fun. I was tickled to see him taking advantage of a new customer base!

Hahaha just now saw on twitter that there's a line delay because Sue Bird and Megan Rapinoe just showed up to greet and take selfies. How fun.

My car has gotten extremely junky. Someone needs to get in there and clean it out, vacuum and wipe down the seats. The car dealership will do that when I take it in for it's annual checkup but I think that's not til June or July. Somebody needs to get on it before then.
