After midnight.

After breakfast, email, facebork and twitch it was off to Walmart again. $350 or so for 90 days of non-formulary pills. Then to the plumbing section where all the chemicals said not to use them in a toilet. But they had a new design plunger especially made for my low-water thrones.

Next, looking for men's briefs, all the shelves were empty.

To the grocery side, found cube facial tissue boxes, windex anti-bacterial all purpose spray,   iceberg salad mix. The electronics area had a couple of no name web cams, nothing worth $$.

Home, first activity was to use the new plunger - it worked! and then use the facilities. Then I put stuff away. Salad and cold cuts for lunch. Tuned into Nancie's FB Live cooking show, she was making wokked veggies.  When she saw me in  the chat she took out the mango corer I had sent her and demonstrated it. She made mango pie wednesday, but I missed the live feed.

Put a motion sensor closet light in the very dark hallway. The two above the cat food station work well.

The new morning drug is working, I'm drinking a lot of soda and making frequent trips to the john.

Birkenstocks were delivered. They are going back - too narrow. :-(

Also delivered were two sharps containers. I need to find out where to deposit my almost full one.

Watched half of Andy Cohen. Real Housewives are boring. TMZ.

No storm chasers today.

Launched the Amazon Fire and watched the first episode of Going Postal. Well done. Looking forward to the second (and final) part.

Plans for tomorrow:
Drive to the Veteran's Memorial Park in Boulder City. They have a fishing pond and a stream. Bringing the Nikon.
Maybe clean up the guest room a bit.

Up with the alarm, usual morning, then grabbed the Birkenstock box and camera and drove to the UPS store. Just my luck the one couple ahead of me was filling out a complex form to be notarized, and there was only one employee working up front. She seemed to have someone in the back, not dealing with customers. 10 minutes later I was able to drop off the box and get a receipt, and now there were 5 people lined up behind me.

Punched the Veteran's Memorial park into the GPS and headed down Boulder City Hwy. In theory even with only a 75% charge I had enough juice to get there and back, but 10 miles from the destination the road switched from 45 to 55 mph and my battery was being sucked dry. At 50% I did a U turn and went home. Since most of the trip home was 45 mph I had 40% left when I pulled in, but I needed a bathroom immediately. The new diuretic is very effective, I actually lost 4 lbs yesterday and my leg edema has gone down a little.

Plugged the car in, and was alarmed that the app said it would take 6.5 hours when it should have taken 4. I kept checking and getting the same answer until suddenly at 3.5 hours it was done.

Watched many storm chaser streams, two actually found storms to watch.

On Tivo, there was TMZ and an "Alaska Triangle" show claiming there are many prehistoric mammals of Loch Ness Monster size in the biggest lake there. And one bigfoot sighting.

On Amazon Fire, the second half of Going Postal did not disappoint. Phenomenal performances by Claire Foy as Ms. Dearheart, and John Henshaw as the very human and understated engineer Mr. Pony. Foy had played QEII in The Crown and won many awards for it, as well as her role in The Girl in the Spider's Web. The camera loves her, and it's mutual.

4-7 pm napped. Needed it.

I watched about half of The Zoo, until I got disgusted with their addiction to training the animals to make it easier to feed them. They claim to be all about natural environments but they have mostly stopped putting out food for the animals to find.

Streamed for an hour, but no chatters. A few lurkers and two trolls with the same MO.

Nothing delivered. Ordered a Logitech webcam on eBay.

Epic Games advertised on Twitch a free copy of Civilization IV. Many hoops to jump through to get it, but it's running in the background and  looks/sounds very good. May play with it tomorrow.

Lunch: salad and duck with rye bread. Cantaloupe
Dinner: salad and Lean Cuisine spaghetti & meatballs & way too much bread pudding with hard sauce.

Master bathroom rugs are in the dryer. Moved stuff from around the sink. Took out the recycleds.

Plans for tomorrow:
Up on time.
Plumber due at 9
He will re-pipe under the sink and install a new (undivided) sink & new garbage disposal. And install a new ADA toilet.
And slurp about $2k from my credit card.
That will take all day, he said.
So I'll watch storm chasers and play Civilization.
And take out the garbage at night.
