Here's what I've done since last Monday; on that Memorial Day, where I live was a sweathouse. I tried to make do the best that I could. It was no fun and it made me feel real listless. At least in the evenings I could open the windows and use a box fan that may be almost as old as I am (no kidding) to blow in cool air and that helped a little. That evening I got food from Culver's, and I appreciated the tasty meal. Tuesday, the air was finally fixed in the morning and it was much appreciated. It was not as expensive as I expected, at least; putting in a capacitor is not a difficult task, apparently. In the evening I went to the PDQ up in Sanford and as always I enjoyed the food. I still wish there was one closer to where I live. The reason why I was up there was to make another airport run, this time to pick up both of my parents. On the way back, part of the drive was through a monsoon... sort of like how the weather was supposed to be in this area today, only we have gotten just some wind and some rain and it isn't anything but a random ugly rainy day. I drove more carefully; I don't need to say that there were plenty of people who didn't drive carefully or that the traffic is as bad as ever down here, with there being a time or two where I wonder if someone was impaired or if they really were that stupid.
Wednesday, I had free time so I returned to Walt Disney World. The Magic Kingdom was packed with people but what was a bigger hindrance was it being as hot and humid as the surface of the sun; I was sweating like a Kardashian or Jenner in church! It was a day where at the park several things did not work, and I did not enjoy that. Eh, at least I got some exercise, had lunch there (and a little later, ice cream) and I saw that the place was largely the same as the last time I was there, which was months ago. I will end up going back to a WDW theme park this summer as Epcot has some new attractions opening this month and in August I have to renew my pass (the pricing scheme for the parks is completely different now; I understand that the best option for me is the pass where only a few dates a year are blocked off and they are the busiest dates of the year that I wouldn't want to be at anyway); I tend to try and avoid the parks during the summer, for obvious reasons.
Thursday I did not do anything but Friday I went to a restaurant I hadn't eaten at in months: Uno's. Thankfully aside from one horrible night where a few hours after I had eaten there I got the worst case of food poisoning in my life, I have had little in the way of problems there, aside from the portions not being as large as before. By the way, do not ask why I know for certain why it was the worst case, as you don't want to hear the details! That time there went fine, and an amusing moment was when an older couple asked about a musical act performing before a soccer game and it took multiple people and Google to figure out it was the band Magic! I had heard of them before and I tried to forget about them after hearing the song Rude as it was lame white people trying to do reggae, but then again for I don't know how many years now I don't even pay attention to Top 40 radio and I only hear a small percentage of those songs and I am OK with that. Anyhow, I had no idea that band was still relevant in the middle of 2016. Late that night I heard about Muhammad Ali passing away. Boxing still isn't my favorite sport but it doesn't mean I wasn't saddened by the news.
Sunday, the only thing I did was be ticked off by the incompetence and stupidity of others. I won't go into the details except that people being dumb and not being able to get things working right caused me unneeded stress and frustration. Saturday, as I felt like doing something before the bad weather rolled in, I went to the Total Wine & More up in Altamonte Springs and I got some beverages. I then went to a new grocery store in the area: Safeway. I had heard of them before but I never had been in one before. It's a nice-enough place and there were nice touches like the aisles being named after local streets. I did not go and see that night's UFC PPV, and I am OK with that, despite some surprising results. I was planning on seeing UFC 200 on July 9 even before the shocking announcement that Brock Lesnar is making a one time only return... now I know that will be an insane show and an insane night at Twin Peaks or wherever I go to see it.
When I return a week from today, I do know of some activities I'll be doing, so that is always good and hopefully it will be more relaxing and less taxing for me as well compared to this past week.
