Jerzei Collie's journal

Colorado Springs will have snow today and tomorrow. Hopefully this is the last appearance of Winter for several months.

I'll wait until Sunday to do some grocery shopping. I got an 8-box pack of macaroni and cheese, and I need to get milk to mix with the powdered cheese.

I forgot I had run out of postage stamps. I bought some more today. I have two bills I need to mail on Monday.

I've resumed signing up for meetups since I have a car again.

I plan to get a haircut tomorrow then go to Costco. My dad had asked me to get a loaf of Italian bread that Costco sells. I made a list of other items to buy for myself as well.

It actually got up to 43 degrees today. That's a relief after Monday's high of only 5 degrees.

I got some more paper for my printer since I ran out over the weekend. I had been reusing some pages that already had printing on one side, including some of my drawings.

I woke up a bit earlier than planned today. One of my delivery apps notified me about an available catering order this morning. After delivering the order, I got a haircut then bought some THC edibles. Sometime tomorrow or Thursday, I'll take more of my aluminum cans to a recycling center.

I thought I was going to miss FoxTrot's annual Howl-O-Ween party this year due to my cruise. A poster just released says Howl-O-Ween will be on October 19th, which is one week before I leave for the cruise. Now I just hope I don't catch a cold or anything worse at the party.

Dad and I had dinner with my brother's friend tonight. Tomorrow, the friend and I will go to Costco while Dad is at church. I thought I would only get a couple items on my list, but the shopping trip will include groceries. I cleared some extra space in my refrigerator.

I picked up one of my medications at CVS today, then drove to Costco to sign up for a membership and do some food shopping. I only bought four frozen food packages, but they're taking up more than half of my freezer space. 

Looks like I picked the right time to go shopping. It started raining about an hour after I got home.

"You're listening to KDMP, The Dump in Pahrump!"

In addition to a Costco shopping trip with my brother's friend, I was given a card to purchase a Costco membership. I looked over the store's clothing selection and saw they use a different method of sizing. I'm a 3X Tall, but I don't know how that translates to Costco's sizes. I don't really need anything else like more kitchen appliances since my small kitchen is already jam packed. I did see that Costco offers discounts on travel, so that might come in handy in the future.

Articles about this week's eclipse say one of the next eclipses in the United States will happen in 2045. Colorado will be in the path of totality for this one. I just hope I'll be alive to see it since I'll be 74 then.

I did some grocery shopping earlier today. Sometimes what I want for dinner isn't in sync with what I have for dinner.

I completed the playlist for Sunday's Rabbit Hole* show. I put more rock and Hot AC tracks into the playlist since that seemed to get a good reaction from some listeners last weekend.

I found a Saturday Night Live sketch that had eluded me two years ago. The season 12 episode hosted by Joe Montana and Walter Payton started with a parody of the "Super Bowl Shuffle" called "We Are the Kickers." This sketch and others were cut out of the episode on the streaming services I browsed. I was able to find the complete episode today on the Internet Archive.

I'm almost halfway packed for the trip to Furry Fiesta. I need to pick up a few more items today.
