February 17, 2017

 Good grief, it's late and tomorrow is going to suck due to lack of sleep, so let's get to it.

This morning I slept in, ate breakfast, got ready, loaded up my car, and headed to my Mom's to do laundry. While my laundry was going I watched TV, including episodes of Star Trek: Next Generation and the original Star Trek. There was an episode in the original series were two planets had been at war with each other for five-hundred years. They realized at some point along the way that they couldn't maintain a war that long because of it's damage to infrastructure and just regular horrors of war. Instead they switched to fighting each other via a computer simulation. The twist, however, was that each time the computer calculated the death toll for a given simulated attack, those people in the affected area would have to go into the disintegration machine and actually be killed. I think they said it was over a million people each year were lost to the war. It is interesting given our current world where cyber attacks and terrorism are a real thing.

When my laundry was done I loaded up and went to the grocery store. I need to start going when I get off work after closing because I am not a fan of all the people. There were a lot of people there today, especially in the produce section. Not a fan. Also, when I went to checkout I picked a good lane, and then someone who works there said a register several lanes away was open. I didn't really want to move because I liked my spot but I am apparently too nice to say no. And, as expected, as soon as I left my lane, the other one filled up with several people, and the lane I was in filled up with several people, robbing me of my spot. Brilliant move teenage employee. And me for listening to a teenage employee.

I survived the grocery store and when I got home I washed my food processor. Then I got to use it for the first time. I made an avocado pistachio dip that I found on Pinterest. It was a little rich, and I think I should have used less salt, but it was still pretty tasty. Like what I imagine guacamole is supposed to taste like. Also, fresh cilantro smells amazing.

I spent the rest of the night watching YouTube videos, playing GTAV, and I started watching Riverdale. I never read the comic but the idea of the live-action series intrigued me. And the show has sucked me in. I'm usually not a fan of drama but I'm kind of hooked.


And now I need to stop writing so I can record my audio journal and go to bed. It's going to be a long day with less than six hours of sleep.
