Disappointments and Bemusements
Here I am, well past my bedtime, and not asleep, at least not yet. Honestly, my evening was somewhat...troublesome. I had a late zoom meeting/call for SVDP, which was fine, and then I got a text from our ops manager -- the order I submitted for the OC was rejected, so no food tomorrow. This raised hackles, as not only did I place the order, but I had -- mercifully -- a pic of the order registered as submitted. I took some pictures of the produce order so the volunteers would know what I actually ordered, and conveniently... well, I went over the order with the ops manager and she couldn't find anything wrong with the order, so... we will see. I submitted it early Monday (5 am or so) but as far as I know there is nothing that says we can't. Oi. Yet another thing I have to do tomorrow, in addition to work and Matt stuff, like track down bills and prescriptions. Ugh. At least I caught up on some back episodes of J! that I have Tivo'ed, which is...convenient.
I went to Giant Eagle today to buy pop before it went off sale and discovered that they had 5-pound bags of potatoes for 99 cents, which was cheap, so I bought one. Then I discovered that Aldi had a 10-pound bag for $3.49... so I now have 15 pounds of russet potatoes to eat. To be sure, baked potatoes with peanut butter are a new favorite (and healthy) but the whole thing amused me.

This story also amuses me; as a matter of fact, it is a story of continuing amusement, from the creationism to the counseling business of his wife and now this. I cannot imagine what tomorrow will bring. The man also got a short-term extension of the government funded, which eluded his predecessor. For now. Quite frankly, I think he can take the sniping while this limps along. I would like to think that someone over there could explain to the House that the more dysfunctional they are, the harder it is for the nominee -- especially if Trump -- to win.
Dare I say it? I feel badly -- almost for DeShaun Watson. I mean, I am not totally sold on his sincerity (and who would be) but it did seem that he, too, was excited about this season and the fact that the team -- despite his injuries -- was winning and being competitive. This year...well, not so much now, and of course everyone is ripping --with justification -- the contract and the trade. At work today there had been quite a bit of hopeful talk about the Steelers game, and when the news broke... well, it was like waking up on Christmas morning with nary a present in sight.
