Oh, how we look forward to weekends around this house. I love my job, love my job, but yeah, I'd rather not be working and just relaxing. Of course, like anyone else, I would rather be reading a book, sleeping, eating donuts, just being a slug. Being a slug sometimes is the best thing to be.
I've incorporated a lot of things into my life recently, which have allowed or assisted me in becoming he slug that I so hope to become. I work from home, so I can stay in my pajamas when working. Actually, I do have to dress in my pajamas because I sleep in a big tee shirt and panties; I know, too much information, but the fact is, I wear my jammies to work.
My groceries are delivered now because I can't stand dealing with people. I do, however, force myself to get out there into the big, bad world sometimes. I did it today, and as soon as I pulled into my driveway, I felt like kissing the concrete of my carport. It's just not worth it being out there where people roam these days. Not for me anyway, and I'm an extrovert! I'm supposed to love people. I do. I just don't want to see them in person now. (If that rings a bell, let me know)
I drove to the post office to drop off 3 books that I am sending to people. Luckily, I was able to just slide the books into the outside boxes because there was an endless line in the post office itself, and there were no parking spaces left. There were two cars trying to get into the parking lot, but they had to wait for others to leave first. No, thank you! I am forever grateful to have bought stamps online and have them delivered, and then I can take the package to the boxes- easy!
I went to UPS to have a label printed so I can have a box picked up. The box didn't fit in my car. Because the box won't fit in my car, I have to pay $15 for the 3rd party seller to pick up the box using UPS - if I could get it to the store to have sent back it would have cost 1/2 that, but the thing is, I have PRIME so it shouldn't cost anything. That service isn't guaranteed with 3rd party shippers. (Note to self) Then, I walked out of the UPS store to find an OKC Fire Engine parked directly behind me. No fire...they were rescuing a man in a car who was drugged up, and yes, I waited. What else can I do? I could have parked in the back of the lot and walked in, but no, I didn't know there would be an emergency.
Turns out the man was resting in another person's car. She left the door open while she went into the nail salon. Yeah, don't leave your car unlocked. It's incredibly sad that you can't, but don't do that. He urinated in her car, threw up in her car, and no, she will not be assisted with that - she will have to deal with that. DO NOT leave your car unlocked in public places! (Note to self)
I drove about a mile to a certain Whole Foods store about one mile away because it sells something I can't get at the online store. I walked in and noticed that I was probably the only person in the store with a slight weight issue. I am also the only person in that store who probably voted for Trump. I am also probably the only person who would allow someone with only one item to go ahead of me -- I waited for them to pay, complain, and try to get a coupon that didn't go with what they bought, to be honored. I waited. This is WHY I DON'T DO PEOPLE!!
When I got to the parking lot - I kid you not, another OKC Fire Engine was parked behind me. I shook my head. This can't be happening. The good news is that I could pull forward as no one was parked in front of me. I was the only car that could do that; the others would have had to wait -- just crazy! Crazy people doing crazy things. If it's happening here, it's happening everywhere. The parking lot was a maze. I got through it, pulled up to turn right BEHIND an idiot who was trying to turn left at NOON on a SATURDAY on a major street. WHAT THE HECK, PEOPLE - show respect, please.
I drove home. I drove straight home. I texted my daughter to let her know I had been through quite a bit and was ready to just eat some pulled pork sandwiches. She agreed, and when I walked through the door she handed me one; and on the plate with the pulled pork sandwich were cheddar goldfish crackers, and grapes...but my favorite part was the 3 Vienna Finger vanilla cookies -- awwwww, my daughter loves me.
I will write today. I will watch videos. I will watch 3 or 4 more Law and Order shows, read the Bible, pray, brush my teeth, and go to bed. That is the plan for the first day of the weekend. I hope tomorrow is even less PEOPLE-FILLED. We decided to buy a new TV using the money I get back from the desk I'm sending back to Amazon. For the same cost of the desk, I can get a good 4K smart TV (43" I think). We watch TV 3 or 4 times a year -- mostly during this time of the year. We watch one channel -- News 9 ...for the weather. I live in Oklahoma. The only other time the TV is turned on is for a few OU games -- maybe two. I should watch more, but I don't. (I'm told I can turn the "smart" part off and I'll have a dumb tv)
That's my weekend so far. I'm pretty sure my car is being pooped on by the birds I insist on feeding. They aren't aware of how annoying they are. I pull the car out, park it in the driveway, and let God wash it -- I figure if I can feed His birds, He can wash my car -- it's been a thing for years. I am quite grateful for His blessings. He can keep all those people He made. I have very little use for them in person -- I love talking to them otherwise. There are some really good ones out there if you know how to find them.
