Meh.
Went all the way out to a Walmart at just-before-midday in an exurb/suburb.
Freeway driving all the way. Which I hate. But, I haven't forgotten how.
I suppose it wasn't fruitless -- I desired a second mattress/boxspring cover to complete phase one of my bedbug-mitigation technique.
Just some cheap vinyl thing — probably have to cover it with lots of duck tape, for the box "spring" part of the bed.
EXCITING news, they had a four-pack of black T-shirts, with pockets, and in size L, they fit great and I can show off my pasty-white biceps without seeming too tacky on the job.
Also some socks — while I was just looking for nylon liner socks, these look thin enough. I didn't pick this up from Ray Jardine, but he and I seem to agree that the best sock+footwear combination is the lightest and thinnest possible. ETA The idea is for doing a lot of work or distance with the feet — I love the thicker socks for around home, but I agree with Jardine that if you're going to be walking twenty or more miles, the thinner socks are more effective.
ALSO it is a goddamned zoo out there. Never get off the boat. Fucking crazy people driving like maniacs, dumbass morons with probably six kids in the car.
AND I think I have three and a half Steel Reserve 211 24-oz cans of beer at home, plus two Totino's "party" pizze, so I can fuck around with my diatomaceous earth and bedspring cover (the shitty vinyl one) and mattress cover (the supposedly good one with the like zillion zipper locks and whatever).
AND whatserface, WareGirl was, as usual, nice to me at work. Not like a Mae West kind of nice, but I think she's coming back to getting warmed up.
Must be the good time of the month, or something.
Good reminder to self! During weekend, get a haircut, and, like, extract some pheromones from various insects and rub them into my scalp.
That's the kind of sugar papa likes.
I'm not giving up on her: she'll take it and she'll like it, just like a stuffed bird.
