I finally dragged my fat ass out to the store to get the eggs and electrolyte water. Grabbed a ranch cobb salad and a borden chocolate milk (chocolate milk is my guilty pleasure). I try to reserve getting it for when I feel I earned it but I decided that since I feel like crap from food poisoning and am exhausted that I would drink it and make myself feel better. It actually makes my stomach feel better for some strange reason.
Mom got up and walked to the living room without problems. She called me around 1pm wanting food. I made oatmeal and she only ate about 1/3 of it. I ate most of the rest but the dog was whining in my ear (she sits on the back of the couch behind me) because she LOVES oatmeal so I gave her some. That dog has ripped open boxes of oatmeal packets and chewed open the packets to eat the oatmeal. LOL. Anyway, mom has been able to focus on playing computer games. She's still tired and not feeling great, but she's doing better and she can keep food down. After the trip to the store I scrambled some eggs for her.
Made me think about how scrambled eggs used to be about the only thing I could cook. LOL. I used to make scrambled eggs with bacon and cheese for my dad. We'd get pre-cooked bacon and I would cut it up with scissors and add it in with the eggs. Now I can make hamburger helper stuff. LOL.
I still have not mastered rice-a-roni though.
Editing to add a pic of my new air fryer:
I should have taken the tape off the front but I wanted it to hold the glass in place securely so I left it on. I did discover that if I put something with parchment paper in the very top rack it will set the paper on fire. LOL. So it has to be on the middle rack.

Try owning a Chevy van (or any vehicle) in the rust belt. We’re lucky to get 5 years rust free on a new vehicle.
Rockers go first, then wheel wells, then doors and hood, & finally the frame….
That's scary. You think with all the treatments they put on car frames these days that wouldn't happen.
So if you bought a new vehicle how many years would it make before it hit the scrap yard because of rust?

Someone posted about losing their airpods. Here is a story that you might think about not finding them or maybe.

Around 10-15 years until it’s a complete rust bucket. Then it gets sold to someone that doesn’t have the money to fix it up. Then it’s one of those dangerous vehicles with a rotted out muffler that makes you wonder how they got it inspected???
I'll have to look at our electric bill. All kinds of extra bs on there.
Daris, yikes. Dude really messed up to cheat on his wife while he's in the military. He can get kicked out for that. Sadly, the story never said whether or not she got her air pods back.
I was exhausted all day. Tried to wake mom up to get her to eat something but she wanted to sleep. She finally got up right before I was about to leave for my appointment. I saw her walk down the hallway and waved at her but she said nothing. I was watching a video tutorial on making a leather hat. I heard thumping from the living room that was in a rhythm so I thought it was the bass from a commercial on the TV. Turns out Mom couldn't find the phone to call me and was thumping her cane. She was enraged when I popped in to see if she wanted toast or something before I left. She said "Leave me here to die!" in a melodramatic tone and called me a bitch for not coming when she thumped her cane. I told her I thought it was the TV and that I couldn't read her mind. I then went and paged the phone so she could find it-- it was exactly where I told her I'd set it last night when I tried to hand it to her but she wouldn't take it. She'd handed it to me to talk to her sister who called to check on her.
Anyway, appointment went well. Doctor told me she was probably dreaming and it was nothing to worry about (when I told him about the incident the night before). My mobility is better and he said to keep up the exercises. My bp was good and my weight was down to 204. It will probably go back up. I've been eating a lot of salads just to fill my stomach so I'm not as hungry. LOL.
Finally got mom to eat some baby food (chicken flavor that I got for a sick cat). I managed to not make fun of her for eating baby food with a baby spoon. She got up later and wanted toast. We have this nice toaster with a digital display that says how long it will take to heat. I'm lazy and butter the bread before putting it in to the toaster.
I'm about to watch some more video tutorials and then take a nap.

What's an inspection?

One of my favorite YouTube channels.

Really!! I never heard of that before. Don't it kind of leave a mess inside the toaster?

You don’t even have emissions there, do you? No inspection in Portland but if your vehicle didn’t pass emissions you were dun fer. The GVW of my van means they put the tube up your exhaust pipe and measure stuff. No more plugging in to the OBD thing and off you go. Here in Phoenix they put my van on a dyno with the exhaust sensors and test it.
My ‘76 Ford I would have to pay $200 to get my van to pass emissions. It passed emissions but was running so poorly the gal doing the test laughed at me and didn’t think my van would make it home. Then I would have to go back to my mechanic and pay another $200 to make my van run right. Now I’m out $400 plus the test and I haven’t even replaced a single part yet.
Cost $12.50 for an inspection here. Some times I even take the vehicle. One legislator wants to do away with them. Insurance statistics show that states with them have as many accidents as states without them.
O2 sensor and some new spark plugs.
Hey, Bob, I just put a new O2 sensor and spark plugs on and my vehicle still won’t pass emissions. Well, CJ, we’ll have to ‘detune’ your vehicle so it will pass emissions then you’ll come back here and you’ll pay me to make it run again. Fast forward to renewal time and I’m not paying for an O2 sensor this go round, just do the adjustment(s).
Back in 71 when I worked for Toyota, all new cars came in set to pass Calif. standards. When would have to turn the timing forward or they would barely run.
That sounds like the good old days in NY. Give your buddy $10 and he goes to his buddy & comes back with a sticker. Miss those days.
Now it’s a freaking **** show.
Vegas, baby!
Are you at the flooring show ? …. Go visit my friends from Bond Products and take some pics.
Surfaces ended Thursday so I didn’t make it for the show this year.
I freaking LOVE Vegas! Haven’t been in a few years (kids throw a wrench in that gear) but I’m dying to get back.
We usually stay at the Luxor but I love going to old Vegas (Fremont st). I love the shady/sketchy people over there. Lol
