Yesterday was frustrating. I need a suit, a don’t have much money, so I decided to go to Goodwill. I went to the Goodwill website and found their closest store in the Bronx. It wasn’t that easy to get to, a 38-minute two-train trip. I made the trip and what did I find? The store wasn’t there. It wasn’t that it was closed, there was no indication that the address had anything to do with Goodwill. It must have shut down ages ago and somehow Goodwill did not think to update their website. I was not happy.
The trip wasn’t a total waste, there was a Wendy’s there and Wendy’s has a sale, 50¢ Frosties. I couldn’t resist that. I’m a sucker for that kind of thing. I loved the summer that McDonald’s had $1 iced coffee.
I did not eat at Wendy’s; fast food is only for emergencies. I made myself a dinner with a very high pleasure:effort ratio, Buffalo wings and roasted potatoes. It really isn’t fair that you can buy frozen wings cheaply, run them under the faucet to get rid of the frozen broth that keeps them separate, put them on a baking pan for 30 minutes and get something that tastes amazing. When it’s done you just put it in Tupperware add hot sauce and olive oil and shake it. You don’t even have to season the chicken. I do season the roasted potatoes which also put in Tupperware, add olive oil, garlic salt, black pepper, MSG, and this time some turmeric. Then I cooked them in the same pan as the chicken so they gain flavor from the chicken fat.
I watched the Mets; they won again in a comeback! The Mets are mediocre, not bad. The sad part is that this is a team that sacrificed the future to win this season and just achieved mediocrity. They are not willing to spend the money it would take to be good. They depend on everything breaking the right way.
My sleep still isn’t right. I didn’t nap when I got home last night. I figured I’d get to sleep before midnight and wake up around eight and be well-rested. That’s not what happened. At first I couldn’t sleep. Then, every time I fell asleep I’d wake up a few hours later. At 6:30 I gave up and got out of bed. I’m not in pain but I suspect that the reason I can’t sleep through the night is discomfort from the surgery.
I miss writing more substantial entries but right now I’m not up to that. I’ll get there. The thoughts still run through my head. I’m confident in regression to the mean.
