What the Junk?!

Sorry about last night's post.  I got to watching Adventure Time on Hulu and it was too late to pull out my Macbook Pro to make a post, so I just typed up a quick one with the Goodyear blimp picture!  It was in my city this weekend.  I saw it go over while on my walk and took several pictures of it.  I've loved seeing it since I was a little girl. My daddy worked at Goodyear when I was growing up. ^_^

Today I woke up and it was hotter than it had been yesterday.  Yesterday's walk was horrid because of the heat.  I decided today that I would just skip it!  I did, too!  The fact that it was well after 4 am when I got to sleep last night probably had a lot to do with it too.  I was just so tired this morning.  I'll get back on track tomorrow.  I just hope it isn't as hot.  I didn't do my workouts today either. ^^;  Yeah, it was a lazy day.  I haven't felt too great lately, so I think a day off of doing nothing might help.  I can't be sick now, I leave for Myrtle Beach on Sunday! ^____________^  I can't wait to -post from the beach.  Yes, the MBP is going with me.  We'll be staying at a place we've never stayed before, so I'll have a new place to explore.  I think there is a coffee shop in the hotel.  Not a Starbucks, but still that is cool!

When I looked out today, the street was wet.  The weather apps all said it was supposed to rain and storm all day.  I decided to chance it and walk anyway.  Good thing I did! The sun came out and there was not a drop of rain!  So much for the weather forecast. :p . I got my walk in and came home and relaxed a bit before doing today's workouts.  I did those and did my French lesson and then relaxed a little before fixing lunch.  That was not great, but  what can you do!  I haven't done a lot since then.  I've mainly just been watching New Detectives on Pluto.  Pluto is a free tv channel that I have on Roku.  I'm sure it's on other platforms too.  It has a Crime network and a New Detectives network.  The ND network plays ND 24/7! lol . It's pretty cool.  I need to explore more on Pluto.  The only thing I don't like about Pluto is the commercials.  They play the same commercials over and over and some of them are annoying as hell!  UGH!  They really need new advertisers! lol

By the way, my blog background came back last night.  I re-applied it to the blog even though in the settings it was showing that it was there.  Weird.  It should still be there today.  At least it was before I started typing this up.  Who knows after I post it. lol

It was pretty cold today on my walk.  Tomorrow it's supposed to be in the 60's!  Two days ago, it snowed.  I think the weather is confused. :p  Who knows what two days from now might be like. 

I finished all the episodes of Who The Bleep Did I Marry? on Hulu..  Now to find something else.  At the moment, I am watching an episode of The FBI Files.  I have probably seen all of these, but this one isn't familiar yet.  I'm sure it will be.  I am almost positive I've seen all the episodes.  

I'm currently reading a book called I Know Coffee: Harvesting, Blending, Roasting, Brewing, Grinding & Tasting Coffee. It's pretty good so far.  After I finish it, I'll probably read another true crime book.  Not sure yet.  

In Pocket Camp, there is currently a campaign going that is a Mario crossover.  I've gotten all the items in the first set, and I'm looking forward to the next set.  I also see that the fishing event is supposed to start tomorrow.  They are doing a lot of events right together.  It's pretty cool.  

Well, this post sucks. LOL  I am totally just typing random stuff to share.  Hopefully tomorrow I'll have more lucid things to share!

Before I go, Happy PI day!

So, we are under a severe wind advisory until tomorrow at about 11 am.  When I first woke up this morning, the power was out.  It was still out when I actually got up.  No power means my Keurig won't work.  OH NO!!!!!!!  I needed a boost, and I waited awhile and still no power.  I dressed and went to Starbucks!  I had a free drink on my card, so I got a venti blonde vanilla latte.  Delicious.  Not as good as my beloved Cascara, but it was good.  I also got a multigrain bagel for my breakfast.  It was a good breakfast.  

I came back home and noticed a utility worker in the neighborhood working on the pole.  I was home a little while and then the power came back.  Yay!  I am hoping it doesn't go out again, but the wind is still crazy, so it might.  The wind was so powerful that when I was driving back from Starbucks, my car actually MOVED to the right a bit.  I decided that even though the sky was  clear and beautiful, I was not walking today!  Too many chances to get hit my falling tree branches or flying debris.  I hate to miss a walk on a pretty day like that, but I'd rather be safe!

I just had my afternoon coffee.  The cup I usually have after getting home from my walk.  I am going to do my workouts at some point.  Not sure exactly when.  It's stretch day, so they don't take as long as there are less of them.  I am sitting at my desk looking out my window as I'm posting.  My neighbors wind chimes are going nuts across the street.  I bet it sounds pretty nice out there.  I bet my own wind chimes are moving around on my porch too.

Yeah, this post is all over the place. lol  Sorry.  I woke up tired and with a headache, so I'm seriously considering taking a quick nap!  I probably won't be able to sleep though.  Plus, if I get in a good nap, I won't sleep well tonight.  I guess I'll just watch more episodes of Forensic Factor on Hulu.  I'm almost done with the episodes they have.  

So, the current true crime book I'm reading is about a woman that killed her boyfriend.  In the book, the author, mentions that she was featured on an episode of Deadly Women.  I love that show!  I checked on Hulu and they had the episode with her in it.  It was pretty interesting.  I'm close to being through with the book.  The story was pretty close to what I've read.  They only left out a few unimportant details.  I thought I had seen every episode of Deadly Women up until I got rid of cable, but I don't remember this one at all.  Weird.  I don't know if I just missed any episode or what.  I'll have to check and see if there are more episodes on Hulu that I haven't seen.  That would be great!

I felt pretty lousy when I got up today and I came really close to just staying home and skipping my walk.  I got myself up and out there though.  I'm glad I did.  I came home and did my workouts.  It was ab day. Ouch!  I did those too.  I didn't really do much after that.  I took a bath, I washed a load of clothes, and I played Pocket Camp.  I need to go get those clothes out of the dryer as I'm sure they are done.  I just need to get motivated to get up.  Right now, I'm just sitting here yawning myself silly.  I had a bad night's sleep last night and it's catching up to me!

I've had five cups of coffee today and it still doesn't feel like enough! It's been a really long day.  I got up today and looked out and it was overcast.  The street was wet where it had rained earlier. I was hoping that the rain would hold off for me while I walked, but that was just wishful thinking! It rained for my entire walk.  Phooey!  I hate to walk and have to hold an umbrella.  It always makes my back ache.  I got home and I was so glad to get here. It not only was raining, but it was pretty cool out there too. I think it was upper 40's or mid 50's.  I got home and had to take off my clothes.  My jacket, my shirt and my workout capris were wet. I changed into warm and dry clothes and had some coffee!

I did my workouts, it was ab day.  I was really tempted to skip them today because I was so out of sorts because of the weather, but I didn't.  I did them and then had a few minutes to relax a bit before fixing lunch.  I did that and was going to start NaNo. I ended up watching an episode of Unsolved Mysteries on Hulu!  They added more of the original episodes.  After that, I fell into the rabbit hole that is "Not Always Right"  I also did my French.  I finally said, okay, time to Nano and sat down to write.  Yesterday after I posted here, I ended up with 1856 words.  Tonight I wrote 2116!  I could write more, but I'm at a good point to stop for now.  I downloaded Schrivener as a trial.  If you win NaNo, you can get it for 50% off after NaNo.  I downloaded the manual for it as a pdf and sent it to my Kindle.  I want to see if I like it and if I can figure out how to use it.  If I like it, I might purchase it after Nano.

I had seriously thought about going to Starbucks today.  As you know, Wednesday was always my day to go.  With it being so icky outside, I just decided to stay here.  I may go tomorrow or later this weekend depending on the weather.  Who knows?  I wanted to go and see if they have the new holiday gift cards out so I can add to my collection. I found a set of the 2016 ones on ebay and ordered those yesterday.  I hope our Starbucks has a complete set.  I wish I had known all these years that you didn't have to load them to collect them!

Anyway!  I have rambled on enough. I am going to figure out what I want for dinner after this.  I have everything else that I had on my to do list in my bullet journal done for today.  I have the rest of the evening to do anything I want. I'll probably end up either reading or watching more Unsolved Mysteries! :p

So, I rode with a friend of mine to Greensboro today for her doctor's appointment.  Her son went too.  He has been watching Sailor Moon and it made me want to re-watch it.  I saw that it was on Hulu, so I have started over from the beginning.  The quality is so good.  I'm an old time fan from the fan sub days.  The quality of some of those tapes was SO BAD.  This is such a treat being able to watch it like this!  I am up to the episode before Ami-chan shows up.  I'm waiting on Rei because she is and always has been my favorite.  I'm enjoying watching it.  I had to figure out how to make the subtitles show on Hulu, but I did and now I'm good!

As for Starbucks, my friend who had to go to Greensboro asked me yesterday if I'd go.  I said yes, if I got to go to a Starbucks. LOL  I went to one I've been to before but it's been a long time.  I will be able to add it to my tracker.  They also had stickers!  The barista give me eight of them. :D  These are a lot smaller than the one I got at the beach and they are clear around the Siren.  I put four on my Macbook. :P  I'll use the others for bullet journalling.  Speaking of my bujo, I didn't get around to making my beach trip page last night.  I think I'm going to wait until I get some ink for my printer so I can put some of the pictures I took on my trip in there.  I think that would be cool.

While in Greensboro, we went to P.F. Chang's for lunch.  I had an email that had, 'buy one entree, get one free' so we did that.  I was broke, so that was the only way I could have eaten.  Well, she was going to get my lunch for going with her, but I told her about the deal I had to save her some money. ^_^ I told her since I saved her money on lunch she should have bought my Starbucks! LOL!

It was a full day.  I came home and watched some Night Court and then I looked for Sailor Moon and found it on Hulu.  They have all 200 episodes. I just hope they don't take them off before I can re-watch the entire show.  It's been a lot of years since I've seen it all.  It's still good, but there are some things that annoy me.  They translate Mamo saying "bun head" instead of "dumpling head".  Dumpling head just sounds better! LOL  Other than that, it's been great.  I know the translations are going to be different as the ones I watched were all fan done.  The quality of the episodes makes up for it.  After I finish the original Sailor Moon, I'll watch Crystal!

BTW, here is a picture of my Macbook with all it's goodies!

No, I didn't make it four days in a row at Starbucks. lol  I will get back over there eventually.  I have two free drinks loaded to my card at the moment. I love Star Dashes!  I also will get a free birthday drink this month as it's my birthday month. Yay!  Today I was so totally sleepy. I DID NOT want to get out of bed! I also didn't want to do my workouts.  I did both!  I got out of bed and took the linens off to wash them.  I always do this on Sunday, but it also kept me from climbing back in! :P

I got my workouts done.  I usually open Youtube on my tablet and then cast the videos to my Roku box.  It was being snarky today and I had to do the first three videos on my laptop.  The tablet screen is just too small!  I finally got the casting to work and did the last two on the television screen.  That is much easier as it's much easier to see and the sound is a lot better!  After doing those, I rested for a few minutes and then was working on my bullet journal.  I got up to fix lunch and then came back to my bujo.  I spent some time on the porch this afternoon with some coffee.  That was nice!

I was one day seven of a Pokemon Go streak.  If you have a seven day streak of hitting Pokestops, you get extra goodies.  I went out long enough to do that and I went to Dollar General while out and picked up a few things I needed.  I was enjoying Unsolved Mysteries and went to watch yet another episode when I found out that I was done! :(  All the original ones with Robert Stack have been watched.  Hopefully they'll add more soon.  I was really loving watching it.  

In other news, my bed linen is freshly laundered and back on the bed.  My hair is washed and drying at the moment.  All I have to do now is relax until bedtime.  I may do some more work on my bujo after typing this.  I did my French lesson while on the porch. :)

I did get to ride a bike last night.  My butt didn't like it one bit. :p  My hands went numb from holding the handlebars.  It was fun to ride though.  I ended up riding a bit over 4 miles.  I tracked my ride with Endomondo!  It was pretty fun. I might do it again sometime.  I prefer walking, though!

Today, my workouts were all cardio. YIKES!  Well, four were cardio and one was a new video that wasn't cardio. Thank goodness. :P  I got those done at the regular time.  I then relaxed a bit before fixing lunch.  I found out that Hulu is now showing the original Unsolved Mysteries!  Yes, the ones with Robert Stack! :D  I LOVE the original show.  I've been watching for the last few days since I found out. So cool!  I love the way that do the updates at the end of the segments if there have been resolutions.  It's cool.  I really loved the show and I'm loving re-watching it!
