Back With A Bang

wombat_sochoI wound up not going out for groceries until yesterday, which was just as well since I got the 5% Seasoned Citizens discount. Picked up tea, eggs, half & half in lieu of cream, a 3/4 half-gallon of pistachio almond, and a bottle of Gatorade just in case.
Before that, I stopped in at NSB to stop the bleeding from my checking account, and the manager talked me into keeping it by refunding one of the overdraft charges that vexed me. When I got home, I moved my Substack subscription and USPS charges to the credit card to avoid more problems like this in the future. Scanned in all the groceries, put them away, ate most of the ice cream, and passed out around 1900.
Woke up at 0100, had some cottage cheese with nuts & sugar-free syrup, knocked out the daily blogging that I hadn't done Tuesday night, and went back to bed around 0600.
Woke up at 1130 today, had a brief chat with James on Telegram, did breakfast, shaved and sat down for a Teams meeting with my Block goddess, the DM. She was pretty happy with me: jacked my hourly pay up to $27 and change, recommended a few CE for me to take, and implied that I'd be working from home more this season but would still be coming up to Reno for a couple of weeks. A lot depends on how they manage to staff the Damonte Ranch office, I think; they need another TPA to help support Jerry and myself, and a couple more tax pros. We'll see how it all works out.
Weight was down, BG was normal, and so was BP. Maybe I should be doing the ice cream thing more often.
Later this afternoon I get to sign in for an NSSAB meeting, which is in Beatty but considering my current cash flow I'm not much interested in doing the 180-mile round trip when I can just chillax in my living room and attend via video.
