So much for plans

 I can't justify going out today. I was going to go to Lowe's and buy stuff to make a holder for all my flutes, and probably more paper towels and such things. 

I had 15 things all ready to list and the next thing I knew it was 5AM and I needed to get settled down to sleep. I watched stuff on YouTube and then went to sleep, and woke up around noon and got up, had some diet 7-Up and some Parmesan cheese and went back to bed until about 5. My throat is feeling a bit better and it's moving into my chest now. And I still feel like crap. 

So no going out, not today. 

I have a really big thing to pack, one I actually saved a box especially for, but I'm going to put that off until the last minute, giving myself the most chance to get better. I almost feel like I over-did it yesterday, going out twice. 

I came up with the bright idea to do a search on Reddit on the backpack I plan to buy, and I'm even more enthused about that particular one now. The only problems seem to be no external water bottle holder (big whoop) and the zippers can be hard to work - this last because they're "heavy duty" according to the maker, and according to me, from photos, because they're trying to jam too much in there and have not mastered the squeeze-and-zip technique. 

That being decided, and it having cooled down a bit, I left here at about 7:30. I got rid of some trash, dropped off this month's pledge at the temple, and put a lot of food in the little free library on 6th.  I also did some shopping at Cardenas Market, and then got back here. The zombies were very much out and about, but with little in the way of normal people to bother, they seemed to settle for being in groups and arguing with each other. Unpleasant to hear but easy to avoid. The heat makes them lethargic. 

So I've spent but I'm pretty sure still underspent, and am thinking maybe sticking with a good keto diet is going to be cheaper than doing otherwise after all. 

Dinner was some veggies cooked in "white curry" which has a white broth but comes with spicy oily stuff so it's pretty spicy, with some shrimp and a couple of fried eggs to top it off.
