Latino Cannoli?

My first dash was ok. A bunch of long rides. One really long one, for $14 to downtown Romulus – or maybe even the southern end of Romulus. I checked the payout and it was entirely Door Dash. Not a penny of a tip from the customer. Sigh. Oh, this is big news. One of my favorite dasher’s boyfriend has turned out to be a thief! A couple of pictures of him taking food from a restaurant that…

Called to Duty

So, as some of you may know, I was called for Jury Duty in Ontario County. Today was the day we had to show up and find out if we were going to have to serve or not. I got up and got out in a timely fashion and drove over to Canandaigua. I was thinking it was a fifteen minute drive, but it was closer to 25. I don’t know why I get that wrong consistently. Anyway, I was supposed to arrive half an…

Have DVD will Travel

For some reason the heat is making me really tired today. I have spent most of the afternoon lying around doing next to nothing. Go me? I got up this morning and…did nothing. Well, not really nothing, but nothing worth writing about. Eventually, I spent some time putting together the final Falstaff ticket holders spreadsheet and document for Geneva Light Opera. I did it early because of my…

The Green Mitt was Found!

It looks like my baby steps are moving me forward. I did a baby step by getting a new credit card to which I am transferring a balance, so I can continue to whittle said balance down to 0 before interest kicks in. Woo hoo! Next up, replacing my car. The Federal $$ disappears as of September 30. Tesla is saying that one has to order their car by mid August to be sort of assured that one will get…

Lost and Found

Don’t you hate it when you can’t find something that you know you have. And know that you have seen fairly recently. And for some reason, you just can’t put your finger on it. That is happening to me right now. I know that I have at least 3 lanyards with little card holders attached from having attended various events. But where I put them, I have no idea. I have looked in all the places that…

No Peppers and Onions?!?

Thistles? Well, that was disappointing. I almost left in fact. I went to Char Burrito to pick up a burrito for dinner. My mouth was salivating thinking about what I wanted to have on it. I got there and there were no signs saying they were out of anything. If there had been, I would have left (if the things I wanted were what they were out of). So I ordered. A white tortilla burrito with beef,…

Light is Cool!

Light is cool Not a banner dash for my first dash. It seemed really slow. And I got a few no-tip offers. I asked one of my fellow dashers and he also thought it was unusually slow. He attributed that to too many new dashers – which could have been the reason. But looking at the time that Door Dash said we needed to wait for dashes, I just think that very few people were actually ordering today.…

A Day of This and That

Today was a dashing day. My first dash was how I would like all of my dashes to be: low mileage, high pay, little downtime. My second dash was also decent. I even ended up quitting around 6 instead of 6:30! Then I wasted my time futzing around on my phone instead of writing my blog post. So dinner will be latish. Again. I just thought this was cool! Other than that, not too much exciting to…

Free Milkshake!

Today I was gifted a free teeny vanilla milkshake from McDonald’s. Of course I accepted – even though vanilla milkshakes aren’t my favorite. I ended up drinking about a third of it. Not because it wasn’t good, but because I just didn’t want to drink more of it. Still, free is good! My father always said that when someone offers you something for free, take it. So far that idea has stood me in…

Another Typical Sunday!

I really need to bring snacks with me when I travel by car. Oh well, maybe I will remember next time. If there is a next time. I mean, when I next travel long distance by car. Speaking of cars, I definitely will be buying a new to me car this year. I am really tired of my poor Tesla Model 3 being a standard range vehicle. So far, it has been a quiet day. I got up and did little until heading to…

Pow Wow!

Who here has been to a Pow Wow? Up until yesterday, I would be someone who would say they had never been to a pow wow. This will not, I hope, be my only pow wow. Today, I got out of bed very slowly. I hadn’t slept well for whatever reason. So I was feeling more sluggish than I normally feel in the morning. But I got my morning Duolingo accomplished and headed to the free breakfast. Sadly there…

Darn Dolmaldes!

The Kids are on the road! I had a plan and I somehow didn’t manage to do it. I wonder where I left them. Last night, I only ended up eating one of my dolmades because I had so much food. So, I thought that they would make a good breakfast and good road snacking food. Clever, no? No! Since I forgot them. I think I took them out of the fridge, but somehow they didn’t make it into the car. No idea…

Who Let the Flies Out?

That’s weird. I was going to add today’s first shift dashing numbers – ok pay, terrible amount of driving – but it isn’t showing up in the app. Though the total looks correct. I am guessing it will fix itself at some point in the not too distant future. (It did.) And I did forget to put the corkscrew in the car after all. Sigh. I guess it wasn’t as obvious as I thought it was. Though in my…

Chicken Taco Tuesday!

They turned out decently! Last night I made chicken tacos. I had some left over rotisserie chicken, added a packet of McCormick’s Original Taco seasonings and some water and let that all simmer. While that was happening, I shredded my cheese and ripped up some romaine lettuce leaves. After the chicken had been simmering for a bit, I added about half a can of black beans to the pan. And a bit…

Trying To Harsh My Mellow

The Universe seems to be low key trying to harsh my mellow. And it is succeeding. But all these little bothers are small stuff. And I do my best not to sweat the small stuff. That being said, please allow me to vent a little bit. I guess it started with the Jury Duty note. That definitely came out of left field. Not amusing. I am trying not to manifest a terrible jury experience. But I feel it…

Jury Duty?

I am not amused. Not that I am morally opposed to participating in a jury. But I don’t think our justice system is really all that hot. It generally seems to boil down to who has the most money. In many cases, it is the government who has the most money. The rich rarely have to actually show up to court. And I don’t really like helping to send poor people to prison. But the call isn’t until the…

BBQ!

Yum!! Having lived in the South, three separate times, I have grown to like a lot of different kinds of BBQ. And I will say that Smokin’ Pete’s was pretty good. I got a mixed plate of pulled pork and ribs plus the two sides – beans and macaroni and cheese. Everything was good. They had two or three different sauces one could put on things as well. I am so looking forward to my dinner tonight –…
