Random bits
I have to write up our wonderful quick trip up to around Mt Baker. Camped one night, some great hiking, some gorgeous views, even if the weather wasn't completely cooperative. Tomorrow.
-- Niece and nephew are coming Saturday. SeaTac was hacked a few weeks ago and the visitor pass program isn't up and running. How am I supposed to pick them up? Well, says the airport, talk to the airline. Hello? The airline? The people who've make check-in 100% automatic and don't have live human beings anywhere any longer? Ugh. I'll figure it out, but my visitor pass plan is a no-go and that sucks.
-- That debate. OMG. Harris wiped the floor with him. Ultimately it means nothing, only the votes in a handful of states matter, which really really REALLY sucks, but it was still nice to see. Biden's last chess game was his most masterful, sacrificing himself to set up his replacement. Because most of the (white men) people calling for him to step down? Wanted Newsome or Whitmer (because it's always 'a woman is fine, just not that woman' with them), certainly not Harris. We'll see. Fingers crossed.
-- After the debate, I commented that I needed to make a donation (I did), and dh said, "Yeah, we need to pay for the 90 minutes of pure entertainment."
-- I had to euthanize a mouse today. I'm upset that I didn't notice she was in distress when I checked cages this morning, she was towards the back and while the mice usually come to the front of the cage to check me out, they don't always so I didn't think much of it. Anyhow, that was no fun at all. She was very sick, and I think was in the process of dying even before I turned on the CO2. I hate hate hate doing this. HATE. I whine to dh over text and his response was "Twisp says he'll subcontract for a nominal fee." Ha. As if. One more reason to start looking for another job, though realistically I should stay at this one at least a year if I want to have a prayer in hell of finding anything else.
-- I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed by life right now.
-- Trader Joe's no longer sells any fat free milk. Neither does Costco. Safeway doesn't have any left by the afternoon, same with Target. Whole milk is always plentiful on the shelf. WTF, retailers?
