Shaky start, things got better with good cheese & malt balls

[howeird]

Spook absolutely loves the bedspread. It's microfiber and a light kind of plush, deep purple. She claimed it, and stayed all night.

Lots of trips to the toilet, I think thanks to adding the beta blocker Tamsulosin to my bedtime routine. Spook saved my place.

8 am wake-up routine woke me up enough the turn the lights and music off. When I finally got out of bed at 9:30 I went right back to bed. Off balance, and wondering if my blood pressure had gone low. Finally showered and dressed a little before 11 and Hgl was way low. So breakfast was my last piece of cake (red velvet).

The weather was mocking me. I had wanted to put a sunset photo in the calendar, but there were no clouds all last week. Today there were plenty.

Now that I had the good sheep milk cheese, I needed water crackers and a sourdough baguette. Also on my list was malted milk balls, nyquil, dayquil. One place which had them all was Winco, which I usually avoid except for small purchases because it really takes two people shopping together - you have to bag your own items, and they send them down the ramp as quick as possible. It's also a huge place, and the bakery is at opposite ends from the bulk items, and there are row upon row of bulk items, so finding malt balls took some time.

Stopped at the mailbox on the way out, there was something from Amazon I didn't need, the weekly shopper, plus spam from Humana and BofA.

Sliced up the baguette, bagged and froze 2/3 of it and put the rest on a plate and opened one of the packets of my very favorite soft cheese: Brebirousse D'Argental. I thank susandennis for the addiction. Long ago she mentioned it during a period when she had a cheese of the month club membership. It used to be easy for find in my local deli, but over the years it has become harder and harder to find, so now I spend too much $$ ordering it fromMurray's Cheese in NY. So that was lunch.

Not much online, or on Tivo until football. Wasted some time on Bravo, Real Housewives was visiting Iceland. Hard to follow their drama thanks to horribly inept editing, lots of needless flashbacks, and not a lot of continuity.

Urology called, the doctor has scheduled a procedure before my appointment, so can I show up an hour later? Sure, you already delayed this a month. :-(

GoDaddy has pulled the plug on their free email. $30 a year per address to use Microsoft 365. Boo hiss. Support showed me how to use the web server as a (slower) email server. I had to "repair" my Outlook and android email accounts.

Tomorrow:
More cheese
More malt balls
Urology appointment
TGIF
