I was delighted to learn that what I thought would be a $5000 job could only be about $500. Ever since we moved in here, I wished we had an identical set of counters and cabinets along the opposite walls because we don't have enough for all we've got. Again, this isn't the 80s when there weren't that many gadgets and tools. Yet we found on Amazon that we could get a couple of portable counter cabinets and a corner unit to put between them.

That way, it wouldn’t look so cluttered and mismatched in here. The counter cabinet I picked out is designed to be a coffee or wine bar. Not only does it have cabinets and drawers we could use, but I could set my coffee maker on it, and there's a rack for wine glasses as well as coffee mugs. Then I found a corner unit that's mostly glass that would be a great place to display my figurines. It lights up too, which would look cool at night.

Forever junior high. That's how I feel this world is a lot of the time. Where so many people in the park are immature and act like they're still in junior high, so do people in general. Take the Republicans going after illegals in blue states just to piss the Democrats off, for example. If that isn’t an example of pure immaturity and junior high behavior, I don't know what is.

Now don't get me wrong. I'm still anti-illegal for the most part. Where it gets tricky are those that were born and raised here that don't even know they're illegal. I can't imagine suddenly learning that I don't belong here and then being shipped to a country I've never been to with a language I've never spoken. But if that was the case, I would have to go and learn the ways of the new country and accept it, thanks to my stupid parents. So I don't think exceptions should be made. Besides, anyone can say they didn't know. Feigning ignorance is a common defense.

The second run to Circle K via the app was a letdown, and I deleted the app. I got a pickle (which I don’t like) and a yogurt drink that was already way expired. I mean, why would they even have items in their possession that expired a month ago? There was also a snack tray with salami that tasted off and bland cheese, though I did enjoy the chocolate-covered cranberries. Lastly, I got a tube of tiny apples that I couldn’t even open, so I got fed up and tossed it.

My coffee incense came yesterday, and it smells great. It's got a hint of chocolate in it.

I went a couple of days without any whooshing, and then I had a little bit the following day. We're not worried about it because we know it's just allergies. Tink, on the other hand, looks horrible. She's wasting away, and the tumor along the mammary gland is getting bigger. On top of that, she has a small one on her shoulder. She's still eating and socializing, though.
