random thoughts - Day 2,022 (Monday) - more of the same

It's a lot of more of the same -- aka "MOTS." Mostly anyway. 

Time is flying (still). It's Monday (again). The weather is crazy and we're back to summer temperatures (annual New England thing). The trash went to the curb with the usual one barely full kitchen bag and the empty bin came back to the top of the driveway (weekly event). I looked for a job (ongoing daily activity). 

In newer events, lidocaine gel patches were ordered from Amazon on Sunday because the system said they would deliver on Monday, but word was received today they are delayed until Tuesday. Or maybe Wednesday. Delivery dates shifting beyond the promised date (which is often the reason for ordering a specific item) are now the case more often than not. The value of the Prime membership seems to diminish daily. I grudgingly went to WalMart and bought some gel patches and they cost less (good to know). Amazon will be receiving theirs back.

The hunt for costume parts in the mess of moving was conducted in earnest today. Many costumes and parts were consolidated in the move, but several are missing in action, including a tan suede skirt that would be perfect for the Halloween events (maybe). That led to an online rabbit hole of costume parts shopping, too many new ideas, and a dozen new items in the Amazon cart to be revisited tomorrow (typical procedure). 

A message was sent to my primary care doctor about the totally jacked up shoulder area and the response was to "see Orthopedics." The primary office can set it up, but I'd rather not travel an hour for an office visit in their geography and they don't know any offices out here, so I'm now on my own finding one (fun times). It wasn't too hard to find a list of local orthopedics, but the phone number is a central number for what seems like a large practice and after sitting on hold for way too long with no messages or music to confirm the call is even still connected, I got testy and hung up. Maybe I'll have better luck with it tomorrow (delusions continue).

Frito pie. Sort of.

I ate breakfast, lunch, and dinner because I love food. Lunch was veggie and cheese leftovers from Sunday's kitchen project. Supper was a version of the Frito Pie dish I had in Austin, Texas a million years ago at a marketing conference. I can't remember exactly what was in the restaurant version, but today I used rice, black beans, mushrooms, chopped broccoli, protein crumbles, hot salsa, and queso. There are leftovers. Life is good (still).
