Volume 17 - Day 197/168, 2025 - Wednesday

Once again, I find that I am fiscally out of touch with reality. More about that further into this journal entry. I was up a little bit earlier than usual, I needed to get some things done before I headed in to Austin. I had a series of chores to get done, and I was on a mission. I had a 10:45 appointment to notarize a couple signatures, and that went with no issues. I stopped to pick up prescriptions, and then I was on a mission to make arrangements for a luncheon on Friday. That took a while, but before I could get it done, I had lunch with Holly. She is one of the busiest people I know, and busy people always seem to get everything done. That is always the case with Holly. After lunch, I did get the luncheon details taken care of. and I am happy with that. I got home about 2:30, and took a litle nap, and then this evening, there was an HOA meeting at 6:30. I am pretty sure that takes care of everything on my calendar until Friday, when I have an appointment to donate platelets. That is always fun, and I like the folks there. Oh yeah, the fiscally out of touch with reality piece. While I was working on lunch details, I saw several pieces of carrot cake at one of the places, so I decided to buy one and take it home. EIGHT DOLLARS. $8 for a piece of carrot cake. When did that happen? First I said never mind, then I said what the hell, maybe that is how much a piece of carrot cake costs these days. Is it?
