I went to VA Union to vote. In the cold. On a dying mobility scooter. Had to drive around the entire block to find the place. Uphill on the dying scooter in the cold. Crowded as hell. I can't cope. Turned around and froze my way home. I'll have to go back later in an Uber with my walker. Hopefully, the line will be shorter later.

Not to get everyone down on this Sunday but there are two firms currently raising at least 100 mil between them in an effort to pay cash for single family homes priced between 275k and 450k.

It isn’t just black rock, local folks are doing it too.

Ran out to Wegmans at O' Dark 30 to get cat food and tonic water. Pick up some things to make stuffed mushroom caps tonight. Set up two jars for spawning pink oyster mushrooms and waiting on another set of grain spawn for giant oyster mushrooms. Got a bonus pack of seeds with this one but I have no use for them.

Went to the headphone meetup yesterday and was pleasantly surprised by just how well it went. Decent group size and a diverse array of gear to try.

I haven't bought near gear in like 8 years cause I was just content with my LCD-2 cans, and I went home and spent two hours looking at electrostatics...

Double grocery day. We've started doing our shopping at Aldi and it's reduced our grocery bill significantly but there's random stuff they don't have (today it's soy sauce) or what they have is no good (bubbly water) so we've gotta hit another grocery store too.

Trying to pay off some CC debt so we've been super low-key lately. Thinking about opening another card with a 0% apr promotion while we pay it off, but not sure that's a good idea.

You're looking at this the wrong way - rationality for normal people isn't a factor here.

Sure, you could wait a few weeks for normal shipping or use regular air freight, but instead you have the biggest cargo plane in the world filled with cigarettes straight from the biggest American manufacturer flown directly to your billionaire playhouse for the orgy. You do it because you can.

I have nothing I have to do. Sure I’ve got loads of stuff I could do, but I’m thinking that I’ll just not… Maybe a late brunch.

Have to find a time to walk over to VUU to vote, hoping the walk will allow me to discern who the heck I'm voting for. Unsure why the Democrats gave us such a small amount of time to decide!

Getting tattooed! On some real estate I've been saving. I always get so stoked the days weeks leading up to a tattoo and then the day of I'm so nervous.

I am watching basketball, voting, going to the gym, dropping off some flowers at my mom's place at Hollywood Cemetery. She left seven weeks ago and I miss her so much.

Just took the dog for a walk, multiple compliments from the other walkers on his manners which always feels nice!

…then proceeds to bring muddy stick into the house while I was checking the mail from yesterday
