susandennisI decided to skip the pastries this week - pickup or delivery. And, yet, today will be about chasing the sweets. Sometime, semi recently, I box a box of these cookies.
I popped them into my 'sweets' drawer and forgot about them. Last night, I needed a cookie so I went into that drawer and found them and OMG are they ever buttery delicious!! I was two cookies in when the problem dawned on me. I have no idea where I got them! How can I get more???
After very much - an embarrassing amount, really - consideration, I'm thinking it was the Red Apple up on Beacon Hill. It really could have only been there or Trader Joes. And, the box was on top of the candy from Dollar Store. I went to the Dollar Store after I last went to Trader Joes. And the Red Apple most recently at all. Fine, detective work, doncha think?
Regardless, this morning I'm off to the Red Apple to find out. If no, then I actually might circle round to Trader Joe's. We'll see. All that running around, I am going to have to buy gas again. That fill up I got in February is nearly half gone!!
The baseball game starts at 11. TiVo will start it. I just checked. TiVo is having a hard time understanding that I want ALL Mariner games recorded. I seem to recall the same problem last year but there weren't enough games to worry about it. This year, it's already fucked up twice. But, it's set for today. So. Cool.
In other randomocity, I learned from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
trichgal76 that another Amazon Fresh store is going in nearby-ish. After reading that, I looked and saw that there are already about a dozen open and operational but none in Washington State yet.
My treadmill has been operating flawlessly since the stoppages of a couple of weeks ago but its future does not look bright.xinas_island has the same model. She's had hers longer and used it more and now, she reports, it's near death. But, bless her, she's already doing future research for me. She's found a nice little replacement and has it on order. Hopefully, by the time mine does die, she'll have Plan B all sussed out and ready for me to just hit 'buy'.
So our governor, last week outlined the numbers he's now using to set various phases of lock down due to COVID. He warned that any county not making their numbers would roll back to a more restrictive level. A couple of days later, in defense, he warned everyone that he'll announce any rollbacks this coming Monday. "I don't want to roll any county back. It's not me. It's the numbers and numbers don't lie." I like our governor mostly but the pressure is making him stupid. At that time, I said to the TV "Who sets the numbers, silly?? You do!" Sure enough yesterday, he changed the numbers! Now counties have to fail two measurements to get punished. I get the stress. I understand how horrible it all is for everyone but geesh. I guess I'm grateful he's not sexually harassing the women who work for him.
Ok I slept late and now it's even later and I'm not showered or dressed or have the recycling gathered to take on my way downstairs... I need to get this party started!

Date: 2021-04-10 09:30 pm (UTC)P.S. I accidentally got unsalted butter at the grocery store this morning, if I could be there I could make you some butter cookies! I don't know what to do with it otherwise, I have no one here to bake cookies for and I'm not gonna eat a bunch of cookies myself, I've already gained too much weight from not being able to exercise like I used to!
