Ticket Day
Mar. 20th, 2021 09:31 amToday's the day that season ticket holders can buy tickets to the first 11 Mariner home games. I am only tempted because... free. It's one of the perks of rolling over my ticket refund from 2020 to 2021. But, as they send out a near daily explainer, they are getting more clear. Turns out, the free ticket(s) - I suspect I get only one - code is good all season. And, since I can (and will) roll my refund over again to 2022, I might just hold on to the free ticket for a bit. Or not.
They have assigned times for the rolling ticket buying windows. Mine is 4 pm.
I went out this morning to pick up my pastry. But, Susan, I thought you were taking a week off! Yes, that was the plan but then she added a chocolate bobka to the mix and I caved.
I think I can make this last a good part of the week. It's delicious.
On my way to the pickup place, I noticed the new Amazon Fresh store now has their signs up. This is not an Amazon Go or a Whole Foods but a net new hybrid. They started hiring a while back and now have paper on the windows. It's street level to a new apartment complex and I could not, before today, figure out where in the building it was going to be. Now, at least, I have that answer. It will be fairly convenient for me BUT since I can never find things I want at Amazon Go or Whole Foods, I'm not holding out a big hope this one will be the Goldilocks of Groceries. Looks like we'll find out sooner than later.
I have too many clothes. Chucking out what you haven't worn in a year does not exactly work for me or for these times. I have too many Mariner game day tops which I honestly do not need at all. I have paper sewing patterns for clothes I will never make again (and, if that changes, I an easily recreate the patterns), taking up closet space. I need to clear shit out regain some space so that I can find stuff when I want it.
The above paragraph was brought to you by the beloved sweatshirt it took way too long to find today.
Probably this will not be today's project but soon. Today I want to finish up the yarn stuff I started yesterday. Dig out the rest of that deep drawer where the winder was hiding. And I have a couple of more other little chores around the house that I'd like to get done.
Biggie's roaming around like he's bored which is not good. I'm pretty sure I heard him helping himself to some stuff on the hall shelf a bit ago. Better go find out what he did.

Random because I'm resting
Mar. 20th, 2021 11:46 amI was starving but it was only 11. Too early for even lunch. BUT I was seriously trolling take out ideas and realized that if I didn't eat now it was going to cost me.
Trader Joe's Manderin Orange chicken. I had making this down to a science with my old gynormous toasterovern/air fryer. I've got some kinks to work out with the new smaller one but we'll get there. It was a good lunch.
I've been watching the IRS Where's My Stimulus with great guilt every day. I do not deserve any money from the government. But, still. I look and it says that I'm either not getting any or not getting any yet. Until today. Today it says that it will be in my bank account on Wednesday. I should donate it. I will likely just move it into the account that the IRS takes my quarterly taxes out of. Dust to dust?
This morning I saw the bottom of the yarn drawer. I pulled out everything and sorted. I have every size of knitting needle, most in duplicate. I have every size of crochet hook, all in duplicate and most in triplicate. I have every yarn gizmo or gadget ever made. I wish Amazon had a NEVER LET ME BUY ANOTHER xxx feature.
But at least now it's mostly all in one place so I will know to check there first? I hope.
Rest time is over. I need to clean up the kitchen and take a load o' stuff down to the dumpsters.

Like all things MLB, they didn't make it easy or intuitive or straightforward but... I got a ticket to go to a baseball game! For free. Turns out it actually looks like I might have 2 more free tickets as well which is kind of nice. Sadly, it's not a take-a-friend situation - one ticket per game but ok.
I think, since I have all season to use them, I'll go and try it out before I commit to more games.
No bags allowed but also no food. They are 'selling' that latter as COVID safety. WTF? Your way over priced stuff is more safe than the sandwich I bring from home? I don't think so. Since my usual ticket includes food, buying ballpark food will be a change. OR I could eat before I go... that'll teach 'em.
