So my plan of staying in today/Saturday has blown up, but hey, I am getting beaucoup overtime this week, so I'm not too upset. Still, I wondered what I would do once I got home (on-time, which I did not expect) yesterday/Friday. I thought I would be awake enough to start on the leftover pizza that I had decided I would eat, but the setting sun convinced me to take a nap first. If I wasn't tired, I'd pop up early, and work on the pizza before the sports Games I wanted to watch would start at 7.
I crawled into bed before 6. I woke up a couple minutes past 9. Didn't expect to do that. I thought I didn't have time to eat pizza and should pivot to spaghetti, which I planned to eat today/Saturday, but I am getting Pizza Hut to watch for the Super Bowl, so I went through with the pizza.
Yeah, nothing exciting. So, in my bored state, I was reading up on the latest on how these assholes continue to plague and besiege our state. One person believes that the announcement earlier this week that they're withdrawing troops was just a way to get people in the state and the national news media off their backs. Then, the next step is for the remaining pricks to go hard not necessarily after non-Whites but observers that have made their loud objections to what is going on here a state-wide issue. Intriguing, and I can see that that works, and is working now.
And then I clicked on a link recommending the best gas masks to buy. If I have to physically commit to this struggle, I'll probably get tear-gassed, so I might as well prepare, right? I looked through not one but two websites dedicated to the best gas masks, and me being a thoroughly-researching consumer, I think I settled upon one. And, to make things even more tantalizing, the gas mask is on sale. (I'm not going to link the websites that reviewed the masks or the company that sells the one that appears to be the top-rated one, just in case they're snooping around here.) I think maybe I'm sounding too paranoid, but dammit, the thing's on sale. I'll wait till tomorrow/Sunday; if I remember, and if it's still on sale then, I think I'll buy one.
What I did pull the trigger on is a new robe. After seeing the two website review gas masks, I went to the website that does nothing but review consumer products (to think gas masks are a consumer product -- what a world we live in), The Wirecutter. And bored me went down another rabbit hole, to their review of robes. Now, I have thought about buying a robe for the past, oh, few years. On the one hand I didn't think I needed one; either I would wrap myself in a towel and just hang out on my bed in the nude, or, if I'm alone in the house, I'd just waltz around naked. But there is a limbo state where you are not totally dry but still want to putz around in the house without your man bits hanging out -- well, unless you want to open up your robe to thrust out your dick. I'd reserve that occasion when I want to surprise one of my stripper girlfriends.
Anyway, the main obstacle to buying a robe, believe it or not, is price. The ones The Wirecutter recommends are routinely in the triple digits. One hundred dollars for a damn robe?! I may have seen one for $90, but even that's expensive. However, when I am bored, I am weak. And thus I was ripe for the picking when I saw one of the recommended robes being sold for about 30% off if I use a promo code tied in with the website. At $65 ... well, it's still expensive, but it'll be as cheap as these robes will ever get. Also, I didn't plan on spending any money tonight, but the company said I could pay through PayPal, and my stupid brain has convinced myself into thinking that is not real money, so I bought it under the illusion that I haven't really paid anything today.
So I threw my sleep pattern off last night, I bought a robe, and tomorrow/Sunday I think I'll be buying a gas mask. This is what bored me does. Now, off to bed.
