Sundry annoyances

wombat_sochoWasted three hours yesterday at the Social Security office on Buffalo waiting to see someone so I could pick up the form to tell SSA that I don't want their damn Medicare or the deduction from my SSDI to pay for it. At least I played a bunch of Azur Lane so I wasn't bored to the point of craziness. I left at 1400 so I'd have time to do lunch at CFA (I did) and hit the Sonic for fluids (I didn't.)
The meeting went okay. People found my reports on the LLW forum and the visual observation last month acceptable, we prioritized work plan items for next year, and I was elected vice-chairman by acclamation. Lisa will be covering all the LLW forums next year in my place since I'll have extra work as vice chair. Part of that work will involve a pilgrimage to the holy city of Hanford for an SSAB chairs meeting in February. Brr.
Next time I come to the Strat I'm going to insist on waiting in line to check in, since the robots gave me a room in the ass end of the North Tower; it had a fridge, but the desk lamp didn't work and the bedside outlet plugs were iffy. I managed.
Screwed up my order at Wendy's last night and wound up with two chicken sandwiches, two doubles, and two chilis. One of the chilis is coming home in the cooler bag, but I devoured the rest last night, and while my BG was up this morning, it wasn't out of the normal range. Probably packed on a couple of pounds, though.
The agenda for today is to pick up a late breakfast at Dunkin on Lake Mead, refuel at the Maverik on the other side of the '15, and maybe hit up a Sonic on the way to pick up some groceries at the Walmart on Tropical. I found about $75 worth of stuff that's less expensive there than it is at Raley's, so I'll stuff the meat and dairy products in the insulated bags with the ice and just push straight through to home.
Did blogging this morning instead of last night (because I was too tired by the time I got back from Wendy's and finished eating) and will blog again when I get home. So I'll be all caught up by tomorrow.
Lost two out of three to the A's Tuesday night. The A's were on autopilot and kept using Duke Sims, who was out of at-bats against RHP, which irritated the fuck out of me but probably didn't make that much of a difference.
