Outside, the them is 12 (F). We are heading into a week of cold weather with only one day matching the bone chilling cold we had all of last week. After that, warmer air will move into the area. Will it be a February thaw? I somehow doubt that. I suspect our temps will not be climbing into the upper 40s (F) and low 50s (F) until the end of February.
Yesterday was productive. The two aquariums were taken care of, loads of laundry done, and decent little workout. I only left the house once, and that was to go pick up a nice bottle of wine. In a way I was celebrating. The first draft of The Body in 4:4 Time will be wrapped up today. And, most importantly, my Income Tax refund was deposited into my bank account. That alone was reason to celebrate. Not that I'm going to buy something extravagant. Nope, most of it's going to be big, lump some payment on the principal of my car loan. I'm going to see if I can pay that sucker off in a year. That will be a Woo Hoo! moment.
I also signed up for Amazon Prime TV for a month, no commercials. I like the Fallout TV series, and unfortunately that's on a Bezos owned streamer. After I watch the 8 episodes, I will cancel. For those of you who don't know, this is how you do it nowadays. Subscribe for a month and then cancel, especially something like Prime, which now wants you to rent just about everything they stream. As for the commercial free? I'd rather pay that $3 than sit through 10 minutes of commercials per episode. I can think of better things to waste my time on than have to watch or listen to advertisements for products I'm never going to buy.
And the Washington Post continues to rapidly decline. This was one of their headlines this morning.


I had an argument with a friend because I called his MAGat friend an idiot. How can they be friends??? I'm questioning MY friendship with him. The Repugs are willfully ignorant and I put that on them.
ReplyDeleteI have done the subscribe-for-a-while strategy. It got me Heated Rivalry. And Amazon is now charging for most everything? On brand.
And Xtianists will do anything for power. Anything. Even kiss the orange ring.
XOXO
I Know one or too cultists and they do choose to remain ignorant. There's something wrong with their brains. Yes, Amazon used to have lots of free old movies, and now it's either rent or buy for almost eveything.
Delete12°F outside and somehow the tax refund still feels like a heat wave. Congrats on almost killing that car loan—‘Woo Hoo!’ is absolutely on the way. and you’re not binge‑watching; you’re doing precision‑strike streaming. Subscribe, watch, cancel, repeat. It’s like a heist movie, but with TV.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that refund was nice. And I like that, precision strike streaming. Why pay for a service you only use once every other week?
DeleteI don't buy from Amazon EVER ... was what I used to say, but then I wanted Mitchell's husband's book and searched and searched for a place to buy it and it was only on Amazon.
ReplyDeleteI bought it. But that is all.
The only thing I do is Prime TV, and then only for a month. There are other places to buy online, and I prefer using them.
