Almost…

10.23.24

Good morning. We are midway through the week, it is nearly the October end. Not yet though! I still have a few spooky looks to bring to life. Pretty good sleep, can’t complain, dreams haven’t been as exxxciting this year, but I have had a few. I had one mushroom coffee followed by one regular coffee so far. I think that is the way to drink it. The mushrooms balance the acidity of the regular coffee when consumed first, or at least I think, so with that I’ll say yes order of drinks matter. I can tell I had a good dose of caffeine because my sentences are flying out of my brain on to the screen. Through my fingers though, I haven’t figured out how to cast thoughts to paper yet without typing or saying them out loud 🤪, YET. ‘Insert internal giggle’

I said that and now my mind went blank. WTF. Well, here’s a photo of yesterday’s dinner, we all like food pics here, yes?!

Spaghetti and chicken parm

I’m planning on Qdoba today and this weeks cookie at Crumbl. This weeks lineup isn’t very exciting but I‘ll still pick one. Pretty sure I’m going with pink velvet cake cookie. You’ll see it later and I’ll give you the score.

Well I should really start the day it’s noon 😵‍💫…fuck. Later.

5pm

Well…scratch those plans. Dead car battery. lol. Could order from DoorDash. That happened once when I first moved here in the blizzard 🥶 and then it started again the next day and ran for a whole year, until now. Strange, but yes it is definitely time for a new one, this is still the first battery this car has ever had it is a 2019. So, not sure if it will get fixed today. AAA‘s is going to switch it out in the parking lot, but not sure if they have time today. Probably tomorrow.

Well , while I wait for someone to return a message from AAA, I did get cool mail today, yes I purchase all my music…I’m a longtime supporter of an handful of artists. Besides my 2 Patreon artists, I have a few other people I always try to find the means to support. Ashton is one of those people. Lovely person and music. Funny but true he was one of the deciding factors of why I have this ridiculously expensive habit of vinyl collecting. I’ve been buying music on CD for decades, as I feel like you should always pay for your favorite music once in the hard copy form to show appreciation for the effort put into creation. A few years ago everyone seemed to start putting out vinyl again. It really has made a comeback, and I think it might stay. I was contemplating starting a collection but I needed to buy a player first, and I didn’t know if I really wanted to do all that. I also have few old vinyls given to me from a friend I put on the wall I had never played. So for a few weeks I sat on that thought, and Ashton had posted something on social media asking what was everyone‘s music purchasing preference digital, cd, or vinyl, I think it was so he could get an idea for future merch. I had said cd, but also mentioned thinking about starting collecting vinyl but it was expensive. He jokingly said, it’s not a bad habit to start, or something like that and added a few pros outweighing the cons. Then about four hours later, I decided, I was like ”okay, you talked me into it.” lol! So I bought ‘Waiting for a Voice’ from his solo collection. So that was my very first vinyl purchase ever. The next day I bought, ‘Out of Chaos Comes’ from Beauty in Chaos, and on and on. I honestly don’t know how many vinyls I have now, maybe 40? In four years. That’s expensive, and for that reason I have cut way down this year, and there is so much new music out I want! My will is strong 😂.

I think there are some artists that put out music and just cannot afford to get vinyl made, that makes me sad. I understand it though, you have to buy a set amount (I think at a minimum of 100!) and prepay some amount, and wait months, then hope your test run vinyl sounds good or restart the whole thing. That is a lot to dish out, especially if you don’t know if you’re going to make it all back what you put into it. Not an easy decision to make I’m sure.

I’m going to go again and continue to wait on this AAA call. I may be back later…

8pm

What a pain, so tomorrow not today. I had Chick-fil-a delivered. I’m calling it a day here. So goodnight all.

12:31am we just had an X flare. X 3.3! That is all. Goodnight again
