Saturday evening

Got up after 1:00 today. (Don't remember what time I went to bed last night, but it can't have been that late.) I must have needed the rest. Was a little achy from the gym.

Did a load of laundry. Took the xerox of the psychopath article to B. this afternoon. (The Hummer was in the parking lot.) Making the gumbo now. Made a two-egg omelette earlier with ham, string cheese, green pepper, basil and hot red pepper. Delicious.

Drove down to CVS to buy a load of Prilosec in order to use up the money in my flex health spending account. Had a problem with the card and had to use another one, but I'll get my money back from my account. I think they try to steal your money at the end of the year, in case you've got a balance. That's probably how they make a good deal of their money. And all year long they bombard me with emails, asking for receipts from the doctor and the pharmacy to prove that the expenses are valid (the same doctor's office and the same pharmacy each time). It used to piss me off, but I no longer let it bother me.

A little later: Gumbo turned out great. Having a bowl now. The shrimp didn't add anything, but maybe their shells added something to the broth. The shrimp themselves taste like mud. :-( That's why they were so cheap. Glad I didn't buy a lot of them. The way they farm shrimp now is a failure. The only way I can enjoy them is to marinate them in chili sauce and horseradish or mayonnaise and relish after they're cooked.
