Removing the black substance…
Not much going on, just doing the work, workout, read, procrastinate about writing thing over and over…
Tomorrow, my store has its annual inventory, which runs from 8:15 p.m. to 4:30 a.m. And, just for the sake of comparison, it is almost 11:30p now and I’m deciding that it’s probably too late to put a movie on, because I won’t be awake for the end of it. Not a good sign for tomorrow. But I don’t think it’s unreasonable for me to be walking around dead at three in the morning, is it? I mean, that’s when we would all normally be asleep. I’m just not joining the overcaffeinate yourself crowd to pull through it. I will be asleep by 4:45 a.m. tomorrow.
In WHYDT news, I wrote a letter to my landlord/property management company complaining about this mysterious black substance that loves to trickle out of my bathrtub and bathroom sink hot water faucets. They have tried fixing it several times now, all with their internal handyman and, he is in over his head, and I’m sick of swimming with whatever black, creepy, possibly carcinogenic substance that happens to join me in the tub every so often, so hopefully that will resolve itself.
Hmm, not sure I should feel "proud" about this, although it did make me happy. Every year, the local hippie grocery store where I buy a lot of my bulk foods, organic produce and such puts coupons in the yellow pages for 20 percent off. But they are one-time-use coupons with various restrictions, some are only good for certain months, etc. Well, on my way home from the gym this morning (which always ranks as a good thing in WHYDT), I saw volunteers distributing new yellow pages in my area.
So, I did what anyone with my mindset would do, I swiped one on my way home to see if the store had coupons this year. They did! So, well… suffice it to say that many of my neighbors will not be finding page 12 of their yellow pages coupons, and I have a nice stack of them here. So, again, it’s a positive thing, in that I’m sort of taking my finances seriously enough to actually stop in front of random houses, openup the bag containing their yellow pages, flip to page 12, rip it out, put the book back in the bag, and return it into place… but, at the same time, I can’t quite say it makes me proud to have done it. Although seeing that fat stack of 20 percent offs does make me smile.
