Today was a day where I woke up late, and did almost nothing throughout the day. Did I fold laundry? No. Did I straighten out the apartment? No. But I finally got around to getting a domain name for my co-op's website, and finally have something ready for the world to see.

The day started with me laying in bed shouting at my digital assistant to shut her mouth. It only tries to wake me up on weekdays, and I wanted to sleep. Begrudgingly, I got out of bed only for a bio-break, and then I was awake for the day.
Now that I was awake, I took a few minutes to be brought up to date with the latest news and turned it off when I was getting sick of what I was hearing. (The snowflake's "Big Beautiful Bill" became uglier before the Senate bucked it back to the House.) So, I turned on some mindless, or entertaining, or historical videos, and spent a good part of the day watching TV. Eventually, I did a little bit of cleanup (not much), before deciding to get showered and dressed.
Before I was done getting dressed, my new printer arrived. (I bought a cheap, open box laser printer that I could use while my other one is in the shop for warranty service.) One could easily tell that this is an older printer model, as its control "screen" display is an unlit 2"x1.25" black on gray panel. (I had to tilt the printer so that I could read what was on the screen.) Unfortunately, I couldn't set up a true wireless connection. But I could connect it to my LAN, and I did get things working after 45 minutes.
I put on the above dress knowing that it'd be warm outside, and drove down to Costco to see if there was anything worth buying. As usual, I found some things I could use, but limited myself to things I thought I will likely use. On the way out, I made the mistake of trying a couple of slices of Costco pizza. It took 15 minutes from the time I ordered my pizza to the time I got it. And it was NOT worth my wait. I would have rather spent the time driving to a good pizzeria and spend a little more for better slices.
On the way home, I called DCD. He's sounding good, but I don't want to get too close to him anymore. The only thing he can do is to lean on others, as he will never be capable of taking care of himself again. Yes, he's lonely. At least, he's recuperating somewhere other than his ex-girlfriend's house. As I reached Croton, I noticed that two exits were closed due to repaving on Riverside Avenue..Luckily, I knew to avoid the heart of Croton on my way home, so I arrived without incident.

Tomorrow, it'll be a day spent in Mario mode. (AARGH!) my brother, RQS and I are going out to eat on Long Island. It's just as well. I haven't seen him in a while. My only concern is to make it across the bridge before holiday traffic clogs things up.
