Biggie 2021

The Flickr album of all the days.

The snowflake state!

The New York Times featured a COVID map on the top front today. The US showing recovery state by state. Most states are fully open. Some are mostly open. Some have plans to be open. A handful are FUCK NO! Washington State is in the FUCK NO! category. No plans right now to ever be fully open again. Sweet. [Edit: The Seattle Times, this morning, published a neighborhood map of who's been vaccinated... Shocking to no one, I'm sure, the wealthy neighborhoods are all 70%. The poor neighborhoods are struggling to get to 40%.]

Meanwhile the Mariners, ever in denial about everything, have created a vaccination section/s where people can crowd in together. I've now gotten several emails on how to get a ticket in the crowded section. I've read through them several times and they are so convoluted that I still don't understand. But, what I really don't understand is why the fuck you would want to??? Your other option is to sit surrounded by empty seats to put your coats on in rows with no other people so no one is crossing across to get to the aisle a million times per game... The whole thing is a massive head scratcher.

I have a few little chores around the house today. Nothing major. I may set up the air conditioner. It's halfway done now and I want to clear out that area where it has been stored.

My scooter is all charged and ready to go if I want to take it out. I was thinking about it last night. I never use it. I should donate it or sell it but having it available is valuable to me. It means that if the shit hits the fan, or my lungs, or a leg or foot or whatever, I could still get around. Get to a grocery store. Get to a drug store. Get what I needed on my own. I'm keeping it. It makes me feel secure. Plus, I'll use it to get to ballgames next year.

Now I need to dig out the touch up paint and hope the lime green is still useable.

Ok Summer, give me your best shot!

The air conditioner is up and operational (and the new app, is actually lovely). It was a bit of a hassle and the wire in the hose bit my finger but it's done and I think it looks as nice as it can be. Way better than former years.

I also give it a thorough going over with my new hand held vac. Inside, the filters, and outside. And I cleared out all the crap that was behind that curtain. I may actually take the curtain and rod down for the Summer.

I think it's going to be several weeks before I actually need the a/c but there were a lot of variables this year and I wanted some Plan B time which, thankfully, now I will not need. I thought I was setting it up earlier in the year than usual. BUT I have records and checked and nope. Right in sync with the last few years. Wild.



I'm glad to have it done and will be delighted when it's time to put it away again.

I also did get my scooter out and went to Uwajimaya. It was lovely, actually. I got a few groceries. Can't carry too many back on the scooter so it's a nice budget minder. And then went to the food court and got some General Tso's Chicken. Very mediocre. Maybe not even that good. This is the year from crap Chinese food. All my old standbys are failing me. Maybe I need to take the scooter out more often and find some new standys up in the international district.

I did stop by the Tous Les Jours Bakery on the way home and scored a couple of delicious pastries.

I completely redid the closet that does double duty as my scooter garage and was surprised and delighted to learn that the new configuration, made for my clothes, is also better for getting the scooter in and out! Parallel parked that puppy right back into the closet on the first try!

I think it's time for some TV and knitting.

Biggie thinks it's time for a nap.
