I wasn't able to get to sleep last night. So, all my plans for the day were fouled up before noon. Originally, I was supposed to go out for an exercise walk while it was cool outside, contact an electrolysis operator for a consultation, contact my sleep doctor's office to find out when I should expect a call from the people setting up my sleep test, call the lab to set up the brain scan for a study I'll be participating in, and then get around to both laundry and food shopping. It's not as much to do as it sounds. But when one has no energy until mid afternoon, one can only do so much during daytime hours.
The first thing I took care of was to make the brain scan appointment. It's a larger study than I might think, as it is being coordinated from a site in California. Next, I tried to contact an electrolysis operator for a consultation, but both of the local operators were on vacation. Finally, after getting showered, dressed and made up, I was out the door and off to Trader Joe's. $35 later, I was returning home in time to get a load of laundry in before the soft deadline of 9:00 pm (start) / 10:00 pm (finish). So, I carted my laundry downstairs, and got it done in time for RQS's arrival tomorrow.

While I write this, I have MSNBC on in the background. Earlier, I had our former president's news conference on for a while. As much as MSNBC panders to an educated elite, the ex president panders to an uninformed audience, an audience who lets authority figures feed them misinformation to be ingested without critical analysis. Sadly, a significant part of our population believes his nonsense, as he is the leader of a political cult. I can tolerate the left's talking heads, as they aren't feeding their audience the message that "White America is being overrun by illegal aliens that have come to take our jobs." But I have to turn off Fox News' propaganda, as they have targeted people who are afraid of any cultural and economic changes that put "White Privilege" at risk.
After sitting down to write this entry, I opened up a letter from one of my credit card banks. Seems like $3,700+ was credited to my card in error. Next time I'm out as Mario, I'll visit the bank to see what's up. If this was a debit, I'd take off my nail polish and visit the branch before picking up RQS at the train station. Hopefully, I can get this error fixed AND have the service charge removed.
