Another one bites the dust

Plant, that is. Julio seemed to have given up on plants. I thought. So I moved one back to the top of the big cabinet. And this morning came in to find it knocked over and the planter shards and dirt all over. It's all in the trash now. Lesson learned. Who wants plants anyway.

So last week I got those expensive and delicious breakfast burritos. I divided them up and put half in the freezer and half in the fridge. The fridge group worked out great. I had one of the freezer ones today. Not great. So we won't be doing a lot of expensive delicious breakfast burritos in the future. We'll save them for special treats.

And speaking of special treats. I got myself one yesterday. I'v been using bluetooth keyboards for a while. I need a keyboard/touchpad combo and have tried several. They are light weight and small and handy. BUT they suck to type on. I mean really suck. And they are narcoleptic. They go to sleep every 5 mins. And the wake up lag time is very annoying. So I ordered a serious, wired keyboard made for rack mounted servers. It has gynormous keys and a tiny touch pad but oh does it type. Sooooo easy. and it's wired so no sleeping/waking. And it has all the keys plus a number pad. I'd like it to be smaller and I don't need all the keys but, hey, it's fabulous to be able to touch type error free again.

Why oh why oh why do all these places offer you the electronic "paper free!!! SAVE a tree" option for billing and statements and then send you shit via USPS????? I can only imagine how much crap I'd get if I hadn't signed up for the electronic option. I just got the morning 'what's in your post today' email and there are three pieces of mail from places I have specifically requested NO MAIL-electronic only from. grrrrrr

I'm probably not going anywhere today. Or maybe out for a quick errand. No have to's.

There's an HOA meeting tonight. Still zoom, thankfully. This particular board is so bad that these meetings have pretty much gone from frustrating to hilarious. Plus it's easy to just mute and snark.

I love this keyboard sooooooo much.

My credit union has no money

I want $5 bills. I use them a lot lately, mainly for tips. I use them in Summer to tip the staff at the ballpark. When I get them in change, I save them. BUT, I don't use cash any more and so my supply is drying up.

I went to the BECU website chat to ask about getting more. I got a list of ATM's that have five dollar bills (none are near me). I said, no problem, I'll go to a branch. There are a million BECU branches around here. Turns out these days NONE of them have cash. There's a headquarters about 20 minutes from here that has cash and maybe they would have some. WTF?????

What a major PIA. I suspect, if I were really nice about it, I maybe could talk a real bank into exchanging twenties for fives even if I don't have an account but seriously. Branches all over town with no cash? I should not be surprised but I am.

I stopped at the fancy bakery this morning to get a loaf of bread. They didn't really have what I wanted but they had a nice brioche loaf so I asked for a loaf of brioche slicked, please. "I don't have a slicer." was the reply. Not 'sorry, our slicer is out of commission or would you mind if we sliced it by hand?'

I left and went to the Franz outlet. Franz is our local bread for the masses baker/distributor and their outlet store is about 4 blocks from the fancy bakery. They had lots of good bread and it was sliced.

I'll bet Goodwill would be willing to trade me 5s for 20s...

I love this keyboard sooooo much!

and in horrible news

The Announcer That I Hate has withdrawn from the St. Louis deal. BUGGERS. I hope it's for a better deal somewhere else - far away from here.

The Mariners are playing Red Light Green Light with me this off season and it's exhausting.
