Last night I didn't sleep very well. My stomach was upset and it woke me up a couple times. At one point I thought I was going to throw up but I didn't. It made for a long night. I have my suspicions that it was related to my dinner. Although it didn't affect me the first night so I'm not sure. Regardless I don't plan on eating the rest of my pasta, even though it was tasty. It's unfortunate.

Today at work I did things, once again. I worked on the PowerPoint for the Facebook class next week. At one point I got sucked into looking for gifs. That's a black hole if ever there was one. I love the internet. I got some good ones to add into the presentation and hopefully the old people that come to the class will appreciate them.

While originally looking at gifs I came across one that my coworker recognized from an anime she likes, Madoka Magica. On her lunch break she got her blu-rays and let me borrow them. The only problem with that is that I have never gotten around to getting a blu-ray player. I've thought about it for several years but never really had a reason to get one. Well, now I had a reason. I did some research over my lunch break and when I got back I ordered a blu-ray player from Target with in-store pick-up. It was the cheapest one with decent reviews and sounds like it should do the job.

I messed around with the library's website today and tweaked my class pages. I figured out how to add a page but wasn't really paying attention while I did that so I imagine I have already forgotten how. Oh well. It'll be slightly easier the next time.

I finished pulling books for the Inspirational display and got those switched out with the books from last month. It tends to be a fairly popular display and hopefully I don't ruin that record. I don't really read the types of books that go on it but it is an interesting challenge trying to pick them out.

I think that pretty much sums up my day at work. I know there was other stuff in there that I'm forgetting but I'm getting pretty good at forgetting things and I'm trying to embrace that fact.

After work I picked up Chipotle and on my way to my Mom's house I stopped at Target to pick up the blu-ray player. For the first time in quite awhile the Target parking lot looked pretty barren. It was odd. Sadly I didn't get to experience the joy of a nearly empty store because I just had to go to the customer service area because I had already paid online. It was pretty convenient.

My burrito bowl was once again good. I think the corn salsa is still novel enough to make things interesting. After dinner I showed a couple YouTube videos and then my sister showed a couple. Then she gave me a belated Christmas present of pans, muffin tins, and potholders. I am kind of excited about that. Now I really don't have any excuse not to start cooking because I have all the pots and pans I need. I guess the one excuse is having not purchased the food yet. My food box is coming on Thursday so that will give me my first try at cooking something other than pasta. I'm intrigued.

When I got home I unloaded my car. Along with the pans my mom also gave me a couple small rugs she found in a closet because I was wanting one by the door coming in from my garage. She also got me some Christmas ornaments because they were discounted down to like $0.30 or something ridiculous.

Now I am going to fire up Farming Simulator 15 and record the audio version of this. I did some hunting last night and discovered one of the cheaper combine headers that can harvest corn and is compatible with my combine. It is still too rich for my blood right now but it is way cheaper other options. I think there might also be a cheaper option for the beets. It was a bit of an oversight on my part to plant two out of my three fields with stuff I don't have the ability to harvest. Live and learn.
