Creative Cooks

Rather than worry about whether our favorite Chinese restaurant is open tomorrow (or, heaven forbid, actually call around and find out) I decided to order tonight and just put it in the refrigerator to be ready for tomorrow. Chinese food is always better the next day.

Tonight will be pork loin in white gravy, grits and whatever green stuff we have lying around.

Just the four of us. I did not get the four legs any treats so I may have to go to the store and remedy that. Poor planning.

PB this morning was OK. Nothing wrong with it but I played mediocre. I really need to get with the ball machine and/or coaching. Maybe this weekend. I'll ask on Friday if there is a time when things will be quiet enough for me to snag a court and the machine. No telling with kids out and families looking for stuff to do.

It is nearly summer around here. Lovely weather to be out and about. I think we'll end up with the AC on by tomorrow. I don't much mind.  This is what the days look like now.  The tree will dump and start regrowing all at once, I suspect.  



We got my pension pay today and it was an extra hundred bucks, less taxes. We've been thrifty so our bank and investment accounts are getting larger and with the USAA mutual dump back to me and now this extra and, I guess, SS will go up a bit. So we're losing out to inflation (which does not, of course, actually exist) but are making it up with thrift. And in a bull market all the investments decisions are brilliant.

All in all a decent end to the year. In six months we'll be ahead of where we were before last summer's crappy dental and car spending spree.

I heard back from Nest support and then remembered a similar response from them last year.  They can't find my account.  And they won't be able to.  And this happened last year and they were never able to fix it.  I had to dispute the charge but the card was fine so I never did cancel it.  Now I no longer need the card and have set it so nothing can be charged.  I guess I'll go through the same dispute and then cancel it altogether once the balance is zero.  If I had left myself a memo on the calendar I'd have already cancelled.  The only way Google will ever find the transaction is when it fails next year, I guess.  Won't be my problem.

I just shot myself with my weekly Semaglutide dose.  I'm still losing weight looking forward to the 180's.  I'm 191 or 192 right now.  Somewhere after 180 I'll start looking seriously at the end game.  Meanwhile it is kind of nice to be losing my stomach.  And downright weird to hug Dana.  We are two different people.
