Shiny

Well, it's Tuesday, my 2nd day off in a row.  I'm loving it.  Of course, the price will be having to work for 4 days straight followed by two 40 hours weeks.  Shit.
Being that it is Tuesday, February 5, you should all be aware that the Idiot Jerk in the White House is going to be farting his way through another series of lies this evening on National Television.  I'm wondering if, perhaps, Stacey Abrams, who will be giving the Democratic rebuttal will get higher ratings.  In case you didn't know, that happened the last time he chose to spew his racism on National Television. 
And the first thing this morning I had to do some changes to my Google account.  I like Google as a browser, however, they want you to sign up for all of these other things... like Google Drive.  A long time ago I had a problem an old Dell PC.  I called their Help Desk and the woman, who was very nice, told me how to fix it... the wrong way, and my hard drive was wiped clean... Oops.  So I got Google Drive mostly for their Backup and Sync app.  Everything was now going to be save.  Everything.  Every picture, every video, every note... is saved in my computer and in Google Drive.  Deleting things from my computer, like pics of the Idiot Jerk I use in my blog, does not delete them from the drive, however.  Deleting things from the Drive takes them out of both places.  Of course, I started running out of space in the Drive and Google wanted me to buy more space.  You know?  Pay money to store shit I'm never going to use?  Right.  So, this morning I uninstalled the 'Back up and Sync' app.  I like using cloud storage, but only for those things I want to save, you know?  Like dog pictures.
Anyway, I finished shining up the silver candelabra for my desk (which arrives tomorrow, supposedly).  This is what it looks like all polished up and shiny.

What else is new?

Friday.  For some of you this is the end of the work week.  For me?  Tomorrow is the end of my week.  Then I have 3 (count them) 3 days off!
And I did order a new coffee maker.  Light turquoise color.

That color should coordinate with the indoor shutters I have in my kitchen.  What would you call it?  Sea foam greenish blue?
At some point, I set up an automatic sync to my Google Drive.  One of those off the cuff moments.  The funny thing is I never use Google Drive.  Yet every save I do, whether playing a game, or downloading a picture, watching a video... everything is getting saved.  So I turned off the auto-sync, and started deleting the shit out of everything on the drive.  All my writing goes to Microsoft's One Drive and I save all of my photos to Nikon.  Sorry Google Drive, I really don't need you.
On the car buying scene:  The 'numbers' guy from Faulkner Subaru in Mechanicsburg was supposed to "reach out to me" yesterday... and didn't.  That's rather unprofessional.  Someone did call me at work, the originating number had a 697 prefix, however no voice mail was left.  This means my 'sales professional' is going to get another email this morning.  I may cc the General Manager, as well.  What ever price they originally quoted me is no longer on the table.  Will I still get my new car on Monday?  Right now, I would say yes.  As long as they drop their asking price.
And I saw where the Idiot Jerk in the White House said body slamming reporters is Okay.  So, what else is new?  The fact that Republicans are so drunk with power they fail to see how he's rapidly shredding their party is interesting.  Didn't anyone ever tell them 'power' is the corrupting force in the Universe?  Evidently not.
