Dinner for One

WTF?

On Sunday, a Mainstays® fitted mattress pad was purchased for $11 at Walmart® in town. The mattress pad was installed on the Intex® airbed and the Mainstays® foam mattress topper was placed upon it. The rationale for the aforementioned foolishness is left for the outside observer to discern.

A pair of shorts was procured for $16 (with senior citizen discount) at Ross® this morning. At this point in time, any kind of purchase can be made at any moment. Few restrictions apply.

The cold front brought moderate rain from Sunday through this morning. The outside temperature this evening was still a bit chilly. So, the cold front is still lingering over the island. As can easily be ascertained, the evening outings to the International Marketplace have been postponed. The Mainstays® quartz space heater has been unboxed and redeployed at night.

On a side note, one of the other senior citizen gym members, Gaylen, spontaneously brought up the recent “sudden death” of another senior citizen gym member, Jimmy (as reported in Notes recently). “I wonder if he died from COVID,” the fully “vaccinated” and “boostered” fool Gaylen mused. There’s no fool like an old fool.

Addendum: Breakfast (Egg McMuffins using two-for-one survey coupon) has been procured three days per week at the fast food joint in town. With coffee, the total is $8 and some change.

Miscellany: Instead of using the alarm function in the Clock “app” on the iPhone 14 Pro, a shortcut automation has been programmed for a verbose morning greeting with preset time announcement using the text-to-speech action.
