18 in Summer 2017

As the morning progresses, I get to spend the day dealing with the Virginia Employment Commission who’ve, for whatever reason, frozen my account with them. Probably going to have to make a trip to the office in near-triple-digit heat.

It’s frustrating.

And this is where I start retelling something I’d already bitched about.

Only one NFL preseason game tonight. I don’t know if I can see it here in my involuntarily-imposed regular TV-free environment.

UPDATE

That’s sorta straightened-out now, and I don’t have to go out in the heat.

Guilty food pleasure

I don’t really know?

Even though I’m not nauseated all the time these days, there’s nothing I really want to ever gorge myself on. I can’t imagine eating more than about a scoop of ice cream.

I really don’t want a huge overcooked piece of meat. Give me a smaller one that’s well-seasoned, and properly-cooked.

I really appreciate quality over quantity.

Nice cocktail to start, amazing food with wine for the meal, and maybe a beer with desert.

Doing those things, though, is really affected by my health and finances. Even if I was feeling up to going out to get something good to eat, I don’t have the money to do it.

So, go work in the restaurant industry?

Yeah, I don’t have the stamina or dexterity to do that, either.

All that said, even hitting the more-affordable options so often results in better finds.

When I was working for the company at the behest of the criminal GS-14, my wife and I took a trip. When we got into town, I was pretty exhausted. Instead of going out to eat somewhere, we ordered delivery to the hotel.

We ended up ordering from some middle-eastern place. I think the whole order ran us about $25, but it was way more food than we could eat. And the food was amazing.
