Today's Bible Reading- Psalm Chapters 27-30.
Good morning, my friends. I hope you're well. My eyes are a bit blurry today. Feels like a film of goop all over them. I know. Air quality is good but my sinuses are swollen. I know this because my glasses are super tight on my face, and last night I noticed a sore forming on my nose where the nose pads on my glasses land.
Weatherwise, we are looking at a high of 83°, no rain, and plenty of sunshine. I woke up this morning thinking it was 8:00 because of how sunny it was. Nope. 6:45. Gracie has had one round of nom noms from me. I accidentally spilled some on my sheets, but they needed changed anyways.
I'm in a work mode this morning, but I'm also still trying to wake up. I feel very foggy brained. Oh! At the store yesterday, I found smoothie packs in the frozen fruit section. Only five smoothies in the bag and it was $13 for the bag, but the smoothies are double what I normally make. So, technically, I could put half of one of the bags in. Then I'd have 10 smoothies! It's a tropical mix with dragon fruit in it. I love dragon fruit. There was another mix available that had oatmeal cubes in it. I almost picked that one up, but decided to try the tropical mix instead.
Today's goals are simple: laundry, aquaponics, and picking out a section of my room to do a deep clean on. I really do need a new dresser. The one I have now is meant for children's clothes. I've had this dresser my entire life. Maybe I can search around. Oh! The Habitat ReStore may have one. I've been wanting to go in there.
First things first, though. I need to get around, have some breakfast, and get my youngest niece's birthday box ready to go. The post office is only open for an hour on Saturdays. Pop probably won't be here till later in the afternoon, so the aquaponics will have to wait.
I did visit the music store yesterday. I had gone into Best Buy to find new headphones, but they didn't have what I was looking for. They suggested an extender for the headphones I already am borrowing from Mom, but they were out of stock when they went to look. The guy suggested that I go to the music store, and I've been wanting to go in there. Woo hoo! I guess it was my day to go! Very friendly people. They didn't have an extension. Turns out, during Rona, Amazon bought the backstock of all these places, and now no one can get things ordered because Amazon hoarded it all. Isn't that rude? I'm glad I got rid of my Amazon account. The store did have headphones, though, and they were reasonably priced. I bought a pair, but only after drooling over the piano sheet music and the digital piano they had set up. Either my fingers have stretched out or the keys on the keyboard have gotten thinner, but I could actually reach an octave with my hand! The price for the piano is $2400. It comes with a bench. I now have a price point of what to save up for.
Honestly, though, I think I'll probably be saving up for a car first. Or at least to help my parents get a new car. That I'll be driving. We definitely need either an SUV or a minivan. I'd prefer an SUV. Pop is hooked on a Chevy Equinox. I'm looking at either a Dodge Journey or maybe a Jeep Renegade. I'm thinking about whether Mom can get in and out, can I drive it, gas mileage, things like that. Pop, I think, is more like, it looks just like the Blackberry (his Suzuki XL7). I love my Blueberry (Ford Focus), but it's getting up there! I'm soon going to be over 250,000 miles on it. It's on its second transmission, too, and we were only told it'd add about 50,000 miles to the life of the car. That was as 200,000 miles. Cars are super expensive right now, though. I mean, some of the used ones out there are as pricey as a new car! I saw one yesterday that was used and the sell price was $50,000. Goodness gracious! We bought the Blueberry for $6,000, and it was several years old and had 90,000 miles on it.
Anyhoo. I'm rambling at this point. I need breakfast, a shower, and to get these presents wrapped and ready to go. Today also happens to be my oldest niece's 13th birthday. Happy birthday, my dear! I hope it's a day filled with lots of laughter and good times. I remember my 13th birthday somewhat. That was the year I got my first stereo. My sister was mad because my stereo had a 6-CD disc changer. Hers had one. My parents told her that it was the only one the store had had in stock. They'd gotten her a stereo for her 13th birthday, too. On the flip side, though, I was much more into music than she was. She'd go outside and climb trees and get in the dirt and mud. I was the book reading, music listening introvert. In fact, I used my cd player so much in my radio, that a year later, it wouldn't even recognize cds. Yeah. I also went through a walkman every year on top of that. I loved music. Still do, but don't listen to it nearly as much. Not by choice. Just so busy all the time.
Okay. That's all for now. Time is slipping away. Love you all and until next time, stay safe my friends.
