now we are sixty-three
Oct. 9th, 2022 11:59 pmWeight ticked up slightly this morning, but BG and BP were normal.
Didn't sleep very well last night and finally gave up trying around 0600; fixed a batch of buckwheat pancakes, ate them with sugar-free syrup and coffee, and within ten minutes of finishing them, body indicated that it was nap time. So I slept for about six hours. Since things were falling apart for my White Russians in April 1945, I started again, and this time succeeded quite well in the setup phase. Had majority support from the military and adequate popular support, controlled just about everything west of the Urals, and I have cavalry armies busy crushing the Stalinist holdouts in northern Siberia. There really ought to be a game mechanic that gives you manpower boosts for freeing prisoners from the GULAG.
Around 1930 I shaved, ran out to Raley's to get a few things that were on sale (and in some cases free/drastically reduced thanks to birthday and SE deals) before packing up the laundry and heading over to Tonopah Station.
I treated myself to a steak dinner for my birthday; it wasn't as huge as the one I had last year at the Pittman Room, but it was just as tasty. Then instead of fiddling with Ingress or some other mobile game, I yammered at the phone and made a video which I am loading to YouTube. I had thought that uploading videos from my phone was faster than uploading videos from the desktop (or its predecessor laptops) but nope.
It's Monday already, and I am disinclined either to throw one of the cake mixes into the robot or open the ice cream, so I think I'll just have one of the fruit bowls, drink a can of tea, play some Hearts of Iron, and call it a night.
EDIT: the video finally finished uploading.
