Yesterday was a longer day, I had to run to the bank, to the warehouse, go to work and stock.
I had to listen to a delusional and poorly educated left-winger raving about politics. His companions kept pointing me out to him and he said I "didn't matter". He is lucky I did not make a video the way he was talking about white people he would have been disciplined. In addition to "not mattering" I was 'business" and "business is out to get you".
Funny. I thought it was my job to get you a nice fresh honeybun and a can of Coke on your break. Boy they would scream if we left the building. I did have a couple of people shouting at me but I explained as simply as possible:
1. It is a $50 round trip every time I go to work.
2. I made $300 last week. After paying for my rides I had very limited funds for inventory so I am ONLY buying the MOST popular selections.
Sorry, you will have to live without your Baked Cheetos. So I did what I could, took out what money we did make (less than $300 this time) and noted the "asset number" of the broken soda machine for Dr Pepper.
They (Dr Pepper) have been abysmal about getting me the inventory I need but they have been good about repairing machines for free (part of our contract). So we will hopefully see the guy Monday.
Ron has asked, and I am taking him into work. He can stock the bottled vendor and run change. I came home but I was pretty beat.
It is hard adjusting my sleep schedule to the medication routine. I went to bed early after I fed Ron.
I woke up at 3. I stayed busy, got a Walmart delivery, but some things were missing. I gave Ron his pills on time (I am diligent about that). I took my pills, also diligent about that.
It was a pretty quiet day until I got the text from my cell phone provider reminding me they would be doing the auto pay tomorrow. And for the first time since I GOT a cell phone I didn't have enough money in the account.
Crap. So I had to go to Walmart, I was able to pick up the stuff we missed on the order or plain forgot to order. It was busier than I liked but I was able to do my banking.
I got a roast chicken for Ron - he had said he would eat it and he is. I love the roast chicken, I got the 2 pound bird and that is a lot of meat. Ron can eat for days, I can finally stop worrying about him getting enough protein, etc.
He also asked me to get some hamburger helper beef stroganoff. Actually, I had to speak head injury. He asked for "The dish, you know the one the lady in Canada put the recipe in the book and I called her to thank her". I immediately knew it was stroganoff. So I got a box and some hamburger, a frozen chub. I like the frozen better, better food safety for the ride home AND I can cook it when I want with no deadline. Ron is going to be busy with that chicken for a few days.
I also got some fancy decaf teas, with my gift card. That will keep me occupied for a while. I came home.
Ron was very sweet and cuddly today. It was very endearing. He just thinks I am the best wife ever.
I called in the repair request for Monday so we can go early. That weirdo at work is on the afternoon shift so I can avoid him. I need to keep Ron away from him, too, as Ron is liable to tell him off.
I don't care if someone is a liberal. I do care when someone says I am a POS for being a conservative, that I am out to use, abuse, and exploit people of other races. Nothing could be farther from the truth as I caretake a black man! Well, that's what it says on the birth certificate "Negro" although I don't see race when I look at Ron. But is offensive at best.
If I talked about black people, and liberals, the way this guy was going on I would be thrown out of, and banned, from the building. But there is a double standard.
I will only say I am not mailing my ballot. Although I did mail the insurance renewal (flood insurance, at the bargain price of only $1648).
I really try to keep clear of politics. Although I do have one family member involved in politics.
So I am good for food for a little bit, more if I have to hunker down. Everything I am hearing says the virus, the election, is going to cause problems for everyone the next month or two so I want to stay home as much as I can, while still getting stocked up. I could use more cat litter which I will get when I can, I have enough for a couple weeks though.
Ron felt bad I had to ask him for money to pay the cell phone and was very glad I used "his" money to buy the groceries. Normally I use mine.
It should be a pretty quiet weekend. Ron is doing well on the seizure drugs and blood pressure medication so I feel good about taking him out Monday. Ideally I would keep him home but we cannot afford the rides to work.
The only person who might have given me a ride (one way) to work got very pissy when I refused to make change for a $100 bill he had. 1. I don't know if it's real. 2. I can't get rid of it easily. 3. I need small bills for my own transactions. 3. You were at the bank getting the $100 you could have gotten some smaller bills instead. 4. He never buys anything.
He got very nasty about it but "God doesn't get change for a $50 (or anything larger)" direct quote from Ron. Anyway that ride is out.
But he's not a customer and it is not even in our contract to provide change. I will do $20's all day long I like getting them but not larger bills and Ron, THE BOSS agrees.
But there is work for Ron to do Monday, but not too much, and I think the other vendor needs to get "a look" (so to speak) at him and see he is still OK.
That was it for today. Thanks again for the tea!
