Weight went back up to 388, BG was close to normal, and BP was good, as I expected it would be after moving the meter to the bedroom and taking the reading while prone.
Had a cup of coffee and some yogurt before going over to the Stage Stop for breakfast and a certain black Sportage, only to find it had been sold last month. I suppose it's just as well - the mileage would have been worse than the Forte, and God knows what other mechanical issues might have cropped up. So I'll be rejecting the offer from Driveway.com and having a little work done on the Forte while I'm in DC, if Pep Boys on Sahara is okay with me leaving it in their parking lot while I'm out of town. Or maybe I'll just leave it in the ramp at the Stratosphere.
Called USAA and updated the insurance; switching to liability with roadside assistance will save me about $50 a month, so having the Forte paid off will give me an extra $320/month to get by on. I think I'll wait to file unemployment after I get back from the Non-Balticon Excursion, if I do it at all...I have a lot of CE to do and all the coursework to keep my certification, though I suppose I could just drive up to Reno and take the exam.
Made a loaf of Irish cake in the robot. It turned out weirdly colored but tasted okay; maybe I should have soaked the raisins a little longer? Anyway, it tastes fine, and I'll be sure to finish it off before I head down the road on Tuesday next week.
Noticed while flipping through Twitter (or maybe it was Instapundit, I don't remember) that the interest on I-bonds is 9.62% right now, which is a hell of a lot better than the yield on savings accounts, whether they're at CCCU, PFCU, or (LOL) NSB. So I think I may sink some of that extra $320/month into some I-bonds. Of course, they'll be worthless of the economy collapses, but if that happens I'll have bigger problems than unpaid interest on bonds.
