Yesterday:
Went to church.
Went to lunch, and it was (mostly) free, courtesy of my friend.
Helped daughter get one step closer to becoming employed.
Made dinner that everyone liked.
Didn’t drink.
Watched season 2 of Breaking Bad
did a load of laundry
cleaned kitchen
cleaned my bedroom
sorted through all the papers on the coffee table, wrote a cheque, swore at government websites for being difficult to navigate
made dinner - roast chicken, chips, salad
drove to bus stop 20 minutes away to see if the book my daughter left there was still there, but it wasn’t
Would you mind fixing the whole US political system while you’re at it? That would be super.

Having to do something vaguely work related after 11:00 PM is irritating, and thus justifies the ice cream I’m about to eat, straight out of the container because dammit, that’s the way I roll. However, I just went to my freezer and saw a burrito-ish Samosa wrap, and I’m going to eat that first. Again; I’m a rebel.
HOLY CRAP! THAT WAS MY THOUSANDTH POST!!!
What do I win? Where’s Ed McMahon?

I love a thread like this. 'Cause I’m just nosey, I guess.
Would appreciate some detail on these sandwiches.
“Slept in” til 3 AM? Then went shopping… to a 24-hour Wal-Mart?
Yes, three am. My sleep pattern has changed a lot. I don’t mind though. I just have more time for the dope.
I waited for a decent hour for the shopping. But only because I have to. 
That’s easy, just roll out the guillotines. I suggested this loudly in 2008 but did people listen? Now look at where we are . . . if aren’t going to hold them accountable for what they did in 2008 then we have no one to blame but ourselves for the present situation.
OFF WITH THEIR HEADS! :mad:
Slept in until 8:30 thanks to the new thermal/blackout curtains in the bedroom
Did a load of laundry
Replaced the belt on my vacuum cleaner
Missed the garbage truck, which always comes at 2 pm, escept for the week I sleep in
Went to the mall to pay our Verizon bill, only to find that my husband paid it already (yay!)
Finished listening to “Joyland” on Audible
Ate tasty but bad-for-me stir fry at a Japanese place in the food court
Went to the hospital to visit my husband
Ate tasty and good-for-me grilled chicken sandwich in the hospital café
Pestered hubby’s doctors for information
Came home, loved the dogs & was tolerated by the cats
Roger that.
