valkryorSo. Let's see. Some things:
- today is a Weather Impacted Learning Day on account of freezing rain. So, that's something. I mean, I get it, freezing rain is NASTY, but I was hoping to have a nice, quiet day today and that's not going to happen. I do feel a little guilty for ordering some stuff from Amazon last night, because driving in this weather is hot garbage.
- I pulled the plug and purchased a waffle iron. I've wanted one for a while, have a place to store it (which is key), and it wasn't a billionty dollars. Before my dental appointment yesterday, I stopped into a drugstore to pick up a few things. There were five items, and the bill was $35 and change. Everything, save one, was a sale item, and the regular prices were STUPID expensive for what they are. I was suffering some sticker shock, especially as I went in for a bamboo toothbrush, only found models that were imbued with charcoal (?) and cost $9. So, yeah, I bought more from Amazon, because two extra soft brushes for $12 without charcoal (which seems so fucking scammy to me) is a much better deal.
- I always feel guilty when I buy something from Amazon. I hate their business model and how exploitative it is. I try to limit my spending through there as much as possible for that reason.
- dental anxiety always hits me, even if I'm not feeling it at the time. It's why I needed the afternoon nap, that's for damn sure.
- the books I've been reading have been...meh. Maybe I'm picking the wrong ones? I dunno. Reading lack lustre novels is so draining because it makes me not WANT to read. Gonna see if I can get my mojo back with my next one. *fingers crossed*
- even though we are no longer under any kind of mask mandate (aside from post secondary institutions and medical places), I did notice a lot of people still wearing one (me, included). When I was out on Saturday, I was strongly reminded of this: if someone can't or won't wear a mask properly, then that person is going to lie about a zombie bite.

I feel you on the Amazon thing... but it's a bit like Walmart for me. I'm more than happy to give my business to other folks, that have the thing I want. Sadly the George brand at Walmart meets my requirements (plain, black, dresses, in soft materials) when no one else will, so they get my business.
The book thing is a real feel... I often keep at least two on the go, so I can alternate, if they don't move me. Life is too short for books that don't move you!
