Even with the pillow the gamer chair is too low. :-( 

Spook was in bed with me a couple of times last night.

Had a 1:30 am viewing of 90 Day.

After breakfast & FB, news sites, drove to Target for laundry stuff. They had a few SodaStream syrups but not ones I wanted. Like 6 or 7 containers. All out of Lysol spray. Got some fabric softener and a spray bottle to de-static Heidi's room. Bought a Swiffer to replace my broken one. CVS on the way home to pick up a prescription.

BofA had locked my online access, no idea why. Quicken was asking it to add a new credit card. I had to change my passcode. I hate that. Got the card activated and into Quicken and set as my Amazon default card because it is a cash rewards for online purchases card.

Ordered online what was not on the shelves at Target/CVS.

Paid $27 (donation) to watch a reading of The Princess Bride, featuring almost all the still-living original cast members, director and Whoopie Goldberg plus 98-year-old Norman Lear. It was long, but worth it, and the even longer Q&A at the end was worth full price. Benefit for Wisconsin Democrats, lots of highly political anti-Trump rhetoric during the Q&A.

Made a mix of Downy & water in the spray bottle and sprayed the carpet in Heidi's room. It smells great in there now. Heidi came down from her tree and tried it out, stepping gingerly and favoring her hurt paw a little. The wetness took her by surprise and she did not like it. I'll check it out tomorrow, see if she still gets a shock when I touch her.

Ordered Thai and KFC from GrubHub for 6 pm delivery. Had to do separate orders, they won't let you combine restaurants.  Thai arrived 5 minutes early, left it on the porch, rang the bell and sent a text. KFC messaged they would be 45 minutes late, but showed up on time, left it on the carport steps, did not ring the bell or text me. Also snuck in without using the gate code.

Watched 2 episodes of Love Island. The overly aggressive guy with way too many poorly drawn tattoos was sent home, as was the guy whose partner was sent home earlier when she dumped him for another over-tattooed bozo, who was sent home as well.

Tivo is still artifacting, ordered a 3TB drive for it, which all the experts say will solve the problem. As will rebooting the machine.

TMZ and PTI watched as well. Below Deck is still to be seen.
Streamed at 7:30, good conversations and lurkers came out to play.

Dinner was half of the seafood fried rice, Thai iced tea and mango with sticky rice.

Plans for tomorrow:
Tivo viewing.
KFC? The rest of the Thai food?
Manicure

Nails

Was shopping on the table in bed till noon. Called at 10 for a 1 pm nails appointment, had enough time to do my morning routine have a banana (did not finish the egg) and got there at 12:55. Nails done by Amy, who was very good, and one of the younger staff. She was wearing a cute T-shirt from Japan with what looked like a cartoon bear with a stack of pancakes. I should have written down the name, it ended in Kuma, which I understand is Bear in Japanese. Found it: Rilakkuma, (lazy bear) by http://www.san-x.co.jp/. I don't see the same shirt on their pages but it's the same bear.

Got cobalt blue color. Very intense.

Home, KFC for a late lunch. The rest of the fried rice & mango/sticky rice & Thai tea for dinner. Plus some corn from KFC.

Love Island was messed up. The stripper contest was a sham, only the men stripped. They added two women who have zero to no chance. I hope.

PTI devoted an appropriate amount of time to Gayle Sayers but late in the show. IMHO he was more important than NBA games.

Delivered to the mailbox was a set of 3 anatomically correct underpants. And a lot of spam.

Signed up to interview for a coding dojo. It looks expensive, but I'll see how hard sell they are. I can't see spending 18 weeks to learn to code.

Heidi rejected Spook's friend request. I hope she sees Spook's just trying to play. She has become braver.

Meanwhile her water fountain pump died. Poor design of the fountain. Ordered two large capacity ones to replace hers and Spook's.

Moved the gamer chair to her room, it's a good height for the piano. Ordered a taller chair for the office.

Catfish was intricate. Bottom line is a man was pretending to be a woman and scammed this guy for $500. He admitted it. I'm disappointed that the crew doesn't report the fraud. This scammer should be in jail.

Streamed for an hour, lots of chat. It went quickly.

Plans for tomorrow:
Try on new underpants
2 pm coding dojo interview
RPCV Zoom (?)
If thermostat is delivered make an installation appointment
Lots of Tivo
