Friday once again
Made it through the day yesterday without killing anyone but only just.
Went to a local thrift store and picked up a few books. Like we really need more. 🙄 Did lunch at a local Chinese restaurant but due to the high level of MSG that the food had will most likely not be eating there again. Then went to another thrift store and got a lot more books ( > 50) and then came home. After getting the books out and looking at the prices marked in them felt like going back and getting arrested returning them to the arsehat that gave us a real good deal on them by force feeding them to him. Rectally. 😯 👿
Part of (possibly most) of my anger was due to the MSG and assorted smells (stinks) we encountered during our outing. And part of it was him telling Cat that all the hardbacks were $3 when over half of them were marked $1. I do not plan to return. Will travel further and spend my book $$$ elsewhere.
Got settled down a bit and started trying to shelve the new books and then got back on finishing the alphabetizing of the newest shelves. Time came and ate supper and returned to the project and had almost finished it when my back went out at the point that affects my gut. Started hurting and belching so had to call it a night. Gut is still hurting so will have to get on the floor and try to realign the back sometime later today after breakfast has settled a bit.
Hoping to get a few of the books from the old trailer moved up today too. Will have to see how the back does first. Arms are giving me fits so will quit typing for now. Hope to post again later tonight. Will see how it goes. Till then… 😕

So far Friday has been OK, about to make a walkabout and check a few things. We’ll see how it goes then….
Will have to find out from you which thrift store and which restaurant those were. You really can’t trust the hired (volunteer?) help ANYPLACE any more, “customer service” is all too often another way of saying “I don’t care, what the hell are you bothering ME, for? I’m just marking time until I get home.” I have gotten more likely to call people on the obvious stuff in the last few years; if they don’t do like I feel like they should, I am MUCH more likely to say something about it. In a nice, but not that nice way. Self-defense. I see the “I work at Wal Mart FU” syndrome in a lot of places. Indicative of the times, I guess. I have been thinking about what RAH wrote/said about the signs of a sick society, and I think he is right. Still good folks out there, don’t get me wrong, but there are a lot of people whom a good slap/kick would help along. Well, it wouldn’t do any harm, anyway…
Did I mention that today was kinda, well, kinda? Going, but not without a kick here and there. I’ll go out and check out some stuff, and things will improve. At least I have gotten so I can type, earlier my error rate was outrageous. Even for me.
Later…
