ok. late, again. my dad always wants to watch the flash after everyone else goes asleep so I end up doing that with him and stay up late. but oh well, today was all around pretty good. I woke up to my alarm at 9:20 and got ready, then went to meet my friend at the diner (the one that we spent countless hours at when we were performing at the theatre down the street). We spent basically the whole time dishing about law school becasue she just finished her first semester, and first year is always hell, so there was plenty to talk about. but it was good stuff and I’m glad I got to see her and catch up. afterwards I went to stop at Target to get two prescriptions filled, but they didn’t have one of them in stock, and since it’s a holiday weekend, they wouldn’t have it in stock till Tuesday.....and I was fairly sure I didn’t have enough left to last till Tuesday. so they filled the other one for me while I wandered a bit, and they gave me the addresses of two other CVS’ that supposedly had it in stock (because Target pharmacy is run by CVS, so it’s the same system). So I went to the first one, which was fairly crowded and harried, had to wait a while, and they tried to process it, only to be told that they also did not have it in stock, and that their inventory had been messed up and wasn’t accurate. WONDERFUL. but they also said the other store the first one told me about had it in stock, so I ventured there, which was a fair distance further away, but I got there and they were also rather busy, but they took the prescription and had to do quite a bit of processing different elements, but were finally able to tell me that they could fill it, but they were busy so it was gonna be at least an hour, so I said I’d come back later, because there was no way I’m hanging around for an hour when I’ve already spent 2 hours trying to get this damn thing filled. So I got home, and I didn’t mention this yet but it was REALLY cold today, like 13 degrees, so once I got home I didn’t really want to go back out into the cold, although the house was no bargain either. apparently our heating system is insufficient, and because my house has a lot of vaulted ceilings and big open areas, when it’s so cold outside it’s not able to sufficiently provide heat, like I literally looked at the thermostat that was set to 77 but the temperature still read 67, and it just felt like it was getting colder. ugh. we’ve had a fire going pretty much the whole day for a few days now, but idk how much it actually helps. In some afternoon adventures, we had decided to make ribs for dinner tonight, and so they were gonna cook them a bit on the grill first, and then cook them in the oven, so my aunt is outside tending to the grill, and all of a sudden something happens and the grill just BURSTS into flames, like ones that were a good foot or two above the grill level, and she’s trying to get a bbq fork, like a big one, so she could get them off, but we didn’t have one, so my brother ended up pulling them off with a regular fork, and it was all very dramatic and really kind of hilarious, I laughed quite a bit, so that was fun. My dad agreed to go pick up my prescription so I didn’t have to go back out, which was nice. so they were finishing cooking the ribs, which I had a feeling I wouldn’t be able to eat because they used several types of bbq sauce, one of which was supposedly “spicy” so I tried them and immediately was like YEAH NOPE this ain’t happening, so I had pizza rolls for dinner instead, which I suppose is an acceptable alternative, lol. After dinner we just kind og hung out, tried to find something to watch but didn’t really find much, we watched a few episodes of “The Good Place” which I hadn’t seen before but was somewhat familiar with based on @agentmarymargaretskitz‘s posting about it, and that was enjoyable, so I may continue watching that. then eventually everyone went to bed and I watched three episodes of the flash (the lucky/unlucky metahuman girl one, the ralph one, and the girls night out) and he wanted to watch a 4th but it was already past midnight and I’d been feeling quite tired all day really (and one of my eyes is doing this weird stinging thing and I don’t know what that’s about, but not like in an infection of any sort of way) so I set him up with another episode and headed upstairs. I’ve been kind of meh on the flash this season so I was somewhat indifferent to the episodes we watched. I want to get him started on Legends, starting on season 2 to avoid the crappy Vandal Savage storyline and the whole hawks thing which he finds vaguely occultist (old world Christianity thinking, I guess), but I know he’s already a little irritated with all the “gay stuff” (believe me, if I thought there was any possibility of him changing his mind on any of this I would’ve already have done it many years ago) and 2x01 starts off with Sara wooing the queen of France, lol, so maybe we’ll do some more mostly straight Flash before trying that (between Alex/Sara and Leo/Ray, the crossover was a lot for him). So we’ll see how that goes. but yeah, good day. we’ll see whats doing tomorrow, but right now I’m just looking forward to getting some sleep, because I am way tired, so I will be doing that now. Goodnight my dearies. Sweet dreams.
