Pretty good.
The solid parts of lunch were shredded smoked beef and pasteurized process American cheese on two onion buns.
Chelsea and I discussed part of my next grocery trip. We're expected to have a dry but overcast day Friday and sun Easter weekend.
Chelsea and I discussed the dishwasher. She's used to washing dishes by hand. I'm used to using a dishwasher. Never had an apartment without a dishwasher. Never had a house without a dishwasher, except for a while post-Harvey.
Our front yard could use a good rain. AJ seeded it before we went on vacation, and he's having to water it with a sprinkler.
For me, today was Social Security Retirement payday. I got my payment around 4:00 AM. All you working people keep on working so I can get money. It's three months into 2018 and they're still withholding at the 2017 rate. I've submitted an update. Of course, being overwithheld now will result a bigger refund next February.
There's a number of people around the houses to the right of mine (looking out the window). It looks like they are taking pictures of them.
The stuff that I was thinking about getting from Walmart I ended out mail ordering. Thereby averting a trip to the most disagreeable store in America except possibly Kmart. They closed all the Kmart stores here years ago, couldn't compete with Target and Walmart. I wanted some more Sodastream carbonating bottles, and to get my order over $50 (which qualifies for free shipping) I ordered some flavor concentrates. Including some of that elusive Diet Dr Pete (Walmart needs to stock more of it).
CNBC was just live from the White House. Sarah Sanders is commenting about positive economic indicators. Also, North Korea's leader is going to China. Hopefully, cooler heads will prevail.

Hi Patty,
It was a good day. Even though it was overcast, it never rained. Forecast for tomorrow has a higher chance of rain though. Oh well, at least the grass will be green. Hope you have a wonderful Wednesday evening! {{Hugs}}

Rain here has mostly been elsewhere in Southeast Texas. Around the time the UPS truck pulled up, you had to use the wipers on your vehicle.
Got packages from FedEx, the letter carrier, and USPS today. The only one for me was a pair of dark gray Under Armour Fat Tire (with a Michelin designed outsole, hence the name) sport sandals. I've been wearing them around the house ever since.
I went over to that other site, read the stories, commented about them, and racked up 625 points from reading news articles and commenting about them. Their programmers apparently didn't do as good of a removal job as they should have.
We got estimates for new blinds. They were either $59 or $69 each.
Watched the usual things on the business room TV. Although, right now, I'm watching the FOX 26 9:00 PM news. Lots of talking about the weather.
AJ had to go to court tonight. He got cited for expired paper plates on the F-150. That dealer took a long time to get the permanent plates, but we have them now.
Chelsea made supper. Spaghetti and tomato sauce with meatballs, salad (iceberg lettuce, red cabbage, and carrots) with Kraft Catalina dressing, garlic bread, and a fruit bowl (cantaloupe, Fuji apple sections, grapes, and navel orange sections) for supper. I washed it down with Sodastream Diet Root Beer, then when the root beer ran out I made a liter of Sodastream Diet Cola. Chelsea commented, "You sure like that machine!" I said, "How else can you get pop for $0.41/liter?" The only bad thing is that we can't get Isaiah to drink their version of Dr Pepper. He drinks huge quantities of Dr Pepper.
I looked on the Social Security Retirement Web site. My April payment will have less tax taken out thanks to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Something you would never get from Crooked Hillary Clinton!

Hi: Sneakers: Your spaghetti dinner sounded delicious. As far as blinds go, you get what you pay for. From my experience, you need to pay a few bucks for good blinds to last. Just like everything else. Thanks for stopping by.  Jim: Welcome Jim. So nice to see that you posted. Just like old times. I am trying to get used to being over here too. You are not alone with the avatar. I will be a shadow head until I can figure it out. Have a great Thursday. WaWanderer: Hope it was a good day for you, Mike. Thanks again for stopping by. Steve: How are you? Glad to see you here. What is your thread? I will look around. Hope to see you post again.  ))))))))))))))))))))))))) BGJam: The weather is getting warmer here too. Thanks for posting. God Bless. SUVFan: I hate the site from the other place. I went in there last night and it was so depressing. I am liking it here. I just need to come in more often - maybe this weekend. Oh, I need help with my avatar. I hate the shadow head. See ya. Thanks so much too for stopping by. Luv it. Oh it is great to see all of you here on my thread. Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a safe and healthy Thursday. |

Hello Waubeek - I am sorry that I missed your post. I am not used to the most recent post being at the bottom. It is so nice of you to stop by. I love your avatar. It is awesome. I have to figure out how to get an avatar started. Post again. It is great to see you. |

Pretty good.
Went to bed right after the 10:00 PM ABC 13 news was over.
Woke up to some spectacular lightning displays to the east. We now have puddles outside, we got some rain. The official city rain gauge (I suspect it's over to the west of here) got 1.1 inches.
Up for good about 8:30 AM. Decided what shoes to wear today, and I grabbed my black and gray Nike Hyperdunk 2015 hightops. They are about the highest hightops that I've seen. I've only worn them a couple of times. They were high enough on my shoe rack that they weren't lost in Harvey. I had a pair of blue, white, and black ones that didn't fare so well.
Watched the FOX 26 morning news until 9:00 PM, then switched to CNBC.
President Trump is complaining about amazon.com; I'd assure him that you get to pay sales tax on amazon.com purchases in Texas. They have big distribution centers on the west side of Metro Houston and on the north side of Metro Houston.
I went over to that other site and found that they're still handing out valuable points for reading and commenting on news articles. So, I got my first 625 points and went to GBO to chew the rag.
Major stock market indexes are doing well on the last trading day of a holiday-shortened week (Passover and Good Friday).
AJ is banging around in the house, Chelsea is talking to AJ, and Isaiah is home sick with a cold. It must be bad because he's not on his video game.
I just made a pint of pop in the Sodastream. I did the partially sugar sweetened Dr Pete. Just as well use it up because I couldn't convince Isaiah to drink it. It's only 45 calories an eight-ounce serving. UPS is scheduled to deliver my additional flavor mixes tomorrow. I look forward to trying the Diet Ginger Ale.
