Lizet's Place

But I have wine.

I was going to drink it tonight, but it's a "fancy" one with a cork, so I had to buy a corkscrew and that doesn't arrive until Tuesday, so I'll probably have wine with either my chicken or pork chops while I write and try not to dispare over the election

Also, I haven't used my Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet in a while (like maybe 18 months or so), but now it needs to be used...only it can't be used.

See, in the process of me checking that it was all up to date, it somehow got reset to factory settings! But that's okay, I didn't lose anything of importance, HOWEVER! now I can't get it to set up!

I tried 4 times, with 1 of those times while I was on the phone with B&N customer service. They've forwarded my problem to tech support and I was told to try again in 24-48 hours.

I've had this tablet since at least 2013 (feels like longer). I likely bought it with my tax refund that year.

If they can't figure out why it can't go through the with set up, then oh well. I didn't use it much and I guess 7 years is a long time for a Nook? I don't know.

I'm not going to lie and say I'm going to try to post more. In fact, I really didn't want to post this, but felt like a had to?

Until next time...

There's sort of a financial upheaval at my job. I think I mentioned it last week some time, if not the week before that. But my bosses know this is the only job I have so they're going to do their best to keep paying me. Once I find a job that I can support myself on, I'm going to tell the bosses that they no longer have to pay me, but I'll continue to do that I do because they need someone to do it.

On the way to lunch today, my dad was all "how are you going to get from your sister's to downey (to get the mail)?" In my head I was like "umm driving?" and he was all "because you aren't on our insurance and if you get pulled over, that's a big ticket. but we can work out days that you can drive the car" Then I was like there's buses around, I can take them. and he was like, "okay, that's what I wanted to know." That just put me in a right foul mood. I've been using the bus for 12 years, I know how to figure out bus systems to get me where I need to go. but also, I've been telling my dad since like August or September to tell me how much it would be to add me to their car insurance and I'd pay it so that I can be insured. Then today, when I went to the bathroom, I guess my mom talked to him because when I came back, he asked me if I'd have the $380-$400 to pay to add me to their insurance (my part over all would be $40-$50 when they go to pay ever 6 months or whatever it is) and I said yes. So he said Monday he'd call AAA to get more information. Seriously, way to wait until the last minute! They leave on Friday!

and OMG the people at my church were acting like it was the end of the world because my parents were going on (a month long) vacation. They were saying goodbye to me like they weren't going to see me for a month. (If I had my way, there would be quite a few of them I'd never want to see again). I guess they assumed that since I was staying with my sister, I'd be going to church with her. Umm pass on that. I mean, if they have some sort of special service, I'll go to that because I'd still have enough time to get to my own church, but other than that, I won't be going to her church. They're too vocal and touch/feely for my taste.

Monday I'm pretty sure we're going to be packing and moving from 7am-7pm *sighs* we get the moving truck for the furniture on Wednesday and Thursday we turn in the keys.

Tuesday is Election day (in the US) so I hope that everyone goes out and votes (if they haven't done so already). I'll be working at my local polling place from 6 am-930pm

eta: forgot that I spoke with my sister about what she wanted me to contribute while I was with her. She said that I basically needed to keep "my area" clean (which is a given), wash the dishes (I would assume that would be dishes that I dirty because I really don't like cleaning up after other people who are capable of cleaning up after themselves), wash my clothes (again, that's a given) and help with buying the food (which was my initial thought until my mom told me that my sister gets public assistance for stuff like that but I'll still help out so she won't have to spend more).
