Did not leave the house except to bring packages inside. Today's haul:

Another Jensen USB cassette player, from Staples, which they said would take a week but didn't.
B complex vitamins
A 4-pack of Old Spice Body Wash (very heavy package)
Replacement handle for fridge door
Pet cooling mat

A delivery from Jokey was sent by mistake to my old address! USPS did the delivery 7/17, they ought to have forwarded it by now.

Ordered some syrups from SodaStream, they are out of all the diet ones except cola. Also some from Amazon, I think.

All the cats I saw recently are off of th adoptable list. No new calicoes.

Did not hear from the body shop or the plumber. :-(

No storm chasers.  Late night Portland protest streams but nothing during the day.

Tivo had TMZ, PTI, NFL Live

No scanner yet, but I digitized all the cassette tapes. The Jensen works great, but the Israeli tapes were very low volume. Had to massage them a lot.

Napped from 4-5:30

Removed the broken fridge handle and installed the new one. Had to order the part which hides the screws (I didn't know one of them was broken). Cosmetic only, the handle works fine.

Streamed 8:30-9:30, no troll but a few regulars.

NYC cousin sent some childhood pix of me and my sisters from his late mother's collection, some were not in my parents' pile.

There's an episode of Love Resort to watch tomorrow.And one more NFL Live.

Spook has not taken to the cooling mat. Yet. She still prefers the too-small cat bed and the duffel bag cover. Go figure. Give her time, though, She is major matted, groomer is not due till the 30th.
 
For lunch, spaghetti & meatballs. Buddy Boy's chocolate answer to It'sIt.  Salisbury steak & mashed for dinner. Mint chip ice cream.

Plans for tomorrow:
Hopefully the car will be done
If not, call Enterprise and ask for a Kicks instead of the Sentra, because I'll be in the rental all weekend.
Take a brush to the passenger seat of the Sentra, where a Snickers bar left a smudge.
Break down several boxes and put recycle stuff into the bin

Unusual breakfast - out of bananas so hb egg and grapes.

Here and there I've been finding chunks of Spook's matted hair - on the floor and on the cat trees. That's good, she's trying. She still won't lie on the cooler mat, she prefers the duffel bag cover. Actually it is a carrying bag for a canopy. She did spend some time on the cat tree, curled up in the little house. And on the top of the platform on the porch side of the front room.

Delivered to the storage box at the mailboxes was a pair of bottles of organic ginger ale syrup, which SodaStream has been pushing, but it doesn't taste like ginger ale. Did not get to scanning photos because the scanner didn't arrive till 8 pm.

Another notice from Met Life -- my rates stay the same next year.

Spent an hour on the phone with Express Scripts moving all my prescriptions out of Walmart to them. Sent email to PCP with the new pharmacy info and asking for prescriptions for my diabetes supplies. Got a response to both those saying it'll be ordered next week. Also updated the pharmacy on the cardiologist site.

There are still some duplicate prescriptions on Walmart, I'll leave them there for now. They don't do home delivery, express scripts does. Walmart has restructured their store entrances to make it too much of a chore to get to the pharmacy.

No storm chasers, but lots of protest action around the country.

I only left the house once to get the mail.

Tivo had TMZ and NFL Live, the latter of which I will nuke because they don't have any news anymore. And then they have 4 people each analyze the non-news, one at a time.

PTI was pre-empted by a baseball game. No fans in the stands, but unlike the other sports, fans in the stands doesn't matter in baseball. They are too far from the players and are mostly there to drink beer and eat overpriced alleged food. And wander around. Baseball is 90% pitching, 1% base hits/homers and the rest is waiting for the next batter/pitcher/change of sides.

Ordered groceries from Von's - Albertson's doesn't deliver. Due here around noon tomorrow. Bananas + $75 of stuff.

Plumber called, we scheduled for Tuesday 12-2 window.

Edit add
My Roborok vacuum has gone insane. Instead of spot cleaning where I sent it, it wanders off well out of the zone. Then it says it can't find the dock, which is line of sight 10 feet away. I picked it up and moved it directly in front of the dock, 3 feet away and told it to dock, but insead it went the other direction, So I tried again and this time it made love to the sheepskin rug.
I've ordered a Roomba i7                       .

Plans for tomorrow:
Set up the scanner and scan
Wait for Von's delivery
Maybe call for a nail appointment
Continue the cat search. Boots is back on the adoptable page. Hmmm.
There should be storm chasers and protests to watch.
