Thursday night

 I was up later than I thought ideal, but I needed the sleep. I studied some Hebrew, did something closer to push-ups, had my breakfast, and finished the load of laundry I had soaking and hung it up. 

I surprised myself by being able to pack all the things in time to get to the post office for the smaller ones and FedEx for the larger ones. 

All I found for packing materials was a set of manuals with a DVD (can sell the DVD on Ebay) that was wrapped in bubble wrap, that was it. A lot of people have this week off so not much business being done. 

I even have this week off in a way, in that I called Ken on Tuesday night and it turns out he has some sort of bug, not covid because he tested negative, but something that had him sounding awful. The last thing I need is him coming over and giving it to me. So I'll see him, and get paid, next week. 

Tomorrow's supposed to rain but on and off so I'm hoping I can just time things. 

New Year's Day

 I should not have been up that late last night, but a bit past 2AM the illegal casino/brothel was shaping up to have a rollicking night, and all seemed normal for them until about 4AM when a police car came roaring in with the siren for a moment and two more police cars showed up. I think they were after one guy (police cars have license plate scanners) which would explain the siren. 

All seemed calm while the police did whatever they were going to do with that guy, then the people in the illegal place starting boiling out like ants out of a nest that's been kicked. It was great. A shoal of them went jogging down the parking lot and to their cars, and once they were out the cops went *into* the place and were there for quite a while. 

I'm thinking they had an undercover guy go in, verify whatever was going on in there, then they went in, not giving the people time to hide casino machines, etc. 

I didn't wake up until about 2 in the afternoon, which is why I don't want to be up all night like that, but I have to admit it was kind of worth it. 

In other news I had pretty much zero headache when I got up. I felt it a little bit when I woke up, but some deep breathing took care of it. Yesterday I'd donated all the various packages of ramen I had, the rest of the big bag of "8 Mate" arare I'd only eaten two packets out of, the rest of the cream crackers and the little tin of corned beef spread. I have to stick to low-carb plus I'm fairly certain there's something extra in the ramen that's not good, maybe just the tons of salt. Plus "IndoMie" brand stuff gives me tons of farts.
