Ecto cooler isn't a coolant. It's an orange drink flavor. If I remember right, it's FW and I am pretty sure I bought it attempting an orange flavor recipe in the past.
Going to go to one of our favorite beaches, which is all rock and stone, and going to search for agates and any interesting rocks. Agate hunting was/is one of my favorite addictions/hobbies, a healthy one though. I have a rock tumbler and use some of the smaller stones in jewelry making.
After that, a task or two back at the house, and who knows what the day might bring. Saw a hummingbird humming around this morning, so all is right with the world.
Yes it is quite citrus tasting. I could not place orange, kind of thought lemon. I lack a good sense of taste, & no sense of smell.
You saying orange helps me eliminate adding more orange. *chuckles* I might try cinnamon though. Ah, Sweet Cream and Marshmallow, bet that would make something akin to a Push Up (tm) orange cream.
More to play with eventually. For now I'm enjoying as its own thing a bit.
I recall it tasting kind of like Tang orange drink. The FW site says its an orange and tangerine mix.
Hola! No plans yet still waking up. I assume driving and then manual labor will take place at some point. IDK when we are waiting for some final check or whatever.
My 1.5 hours of yoga may have been a mistake. It think mu knees constantly ache because I clean constantly with them. On them. Man I can't fix that sentence, too early

That was a heartfelt "Ugh" @FranC

I'm still waking up also but have been at work for 3 hours. This day can't end soon enough. Even though I have an early dentist appointment tomorrow, I'm looking forward to being off work for a three day weekend.
I am having trouble waking up. In a bit here (Drinking the OJ, I wonder if the sugar in it wakes me up or something? It sure seems to work better than coffee, these days) I am going to have AT my setups that need rewicking and stuff and THAT should wake me up, trust me on this. In a bad way but yeah I will be awake trust me on this. Then I gotta CRUISE the house looking for stuff. No more dead roaches-- yet. This doesn't mean much they really DO swarm the house.. I found I gigantic one on the welcome mat waving its antenna towards the house. I stomped on it.
I am gonna be so happy when my life does not include "what is happening with the roaches." It's weird in Tucson like, I got bit by a brown recluse (twice) and there were those flying roaches, palmetto bugs I believe they are called I encountered a couple times. But not regular non-stop roaches, I wonder if it was too hot?
I am looking forward to fireflies very much can't even begin to say it.

I think I survived one marathon shopping trip. Dd doesn't want to go weekly anymore.
For the first time in years I feel caught up with my work. I’m saying that quietly as things seem to hit the fan daily and I’ll be off and running again before you know it. Working like a dog lately. I need (ok...I want) to make a bcf order to take advantage of the sale but I have so much stuff I’m running out of room. Lemme go look at my wishlist. I’m so excited for the weekend.
So I made a small order at bcf. The coupon covered shipping. My TFA storage box is full so I’m gonna need a bigger box. I need to start using what I’ve got and quit buying more.

Oh, it's this fun thing insurance companies do. I suppose to be fair, there have been thoughts of fleeing to Hawaii. But basically, like, the insurance company sends you out this GIGANTOR check and you like, sign it, and send it to the mortgage company since it is made out to both of you. Then you submit your contractor bid, and they give you like half, or whatever they like deem appropriate. (The mortgage company.) So then they send you this trickle of money where like, you get a check addressed to you AND the contractor and banks all tell you wildly conflicting things. I mean our bank refused to accept it because it was made out to the contractor's COMPANY. So, we had to go to HIS bank, pretty much, and by the end of it you just want to cut yourself.
I think it is part of like, what makes insurance (in AZ anyway) just so much fun. They are SERIOUSLY and hoping you WILL kill yourself so they get the money AND the property.
We are to the final check being doled out. Which like, the fact that we got there is a dang miracle, man. I will also say, it was a COMPLETE miracle we got where we did, but COVID made things a bit SLOWER for the contractors and we got a good one (apart from his dudes covering our house in CRAP and DIRT and also breaking two of our mirrors. Like, if I have a final walk through with the guy, I might say "WHERE ARE THE THREE MIRRORS why are they GONE?" ) But I think the husband might have already said, "Fine" in deep, deep hopes that he does not have to build the steps in concrete by himself.
He is going to have to, which I know he would do almost anything to avoid. Which is why I plan tor remain as his seeing eye dog until he finishes because he is going to HURT. I mean ,*I* freaking hurt in a normal fashion after yoga 1.5 yesterday (still glad I did it) and like, we are sitting here al ready-ish until UPS shows up. It will probably be at 8 pm. At which point I might say to the husband,. "Oh hay let's go anyway." I want this over, but the problem is, the next set of horrible things are going to be to rid ourselves of our furniture that is HUGE and we don't love anyway and be like, "Oh yes this is all cool this feels GREAT." I think I made my mom feel bad when she was like "What is wrong with your back" and I explained to her I had to be the other side of the husband sometimes and I had to bulk up, like she saw it last time.
That's fine though maybe at some point my back will not even hurt because like, I am back in Junior size 1 again. I actually don't weight that much less but I seriously am ALL muscle more or less. But she has seen me lifting the giant plasma TV and whatever into HER moving truck, and we would not allow her do jack as she is 74 years old. But she sounded acutely pained that I was gonna hurt for so long and I was like. "Mom it's gonna get better imagine the husband's NECK?"
So like yeah we will pretty much be suffering until it stops dude. I may actually just say "Can we rent this house forever?" IDK. That is what you do when you move yourself and the fun thing is with every move you are ready to trash more stuff, I mean I told the husband "You could make the giant princess bed even better I bet. Why don't you put it for sale somewhere for 5k (probably less than it's worth, I mean it is solid oak.). He can't do it-- YET. I bet unscrewing a few more times might do the trick. It has two large dressers attached it has reading lights.. You can't move it without unbolting 763 gigantic screws to even MOVE it.
Oy.

Yay you! I need to make lots of progress finishing many of my juices too. Maybe I'll figure out how to rehab the not so good ones while I am vaping them. I've already decided to add sweetener and cream to the Blue Pom Plum King juice. Maybe that will do it? If not, I think I'll just dump it down the drain.
Meh it is what it is, honestly. I don't think the husband even LIKED the idea of remaining in AZ at all. A little suffering is good for the soul. LOL we lay there at the end of every night massaging each other, and groaning to sleep.
OMG the husband JUST told me the whole check business. It's kind of annoying honestly, because when I pack up it's sort of an ordeal and like, he JUST told me this whole business with the final check and how it might, or might not appear, and whatever. I swear.
If he had told me that, I would not have packed because I am going to have to unpack half of it, and I hate that.
Oh well I did just freaking rewick or recoil all of my vapes. If the check doesn't come well, I might just go to Walmart and get some work shoes. Oh I love my Danscos but they are totally NOT suited for like the sort o things I will have to be doing. Etc.
He's an idiot. Pretty much. If you pay for next day UPS shipping you should get a damn tracking number but he says up and down he didn't. I checked my UPS and nothing is showing up at all. Sigh.
Shoes. Yep. I think that will be today because he say "We cannot leave without it' and etc. I might make him attack the garage or start to if it does not arrive today, but I am worried he will like, kill me. Etc. Because of this whole 4th thing which I am completely "Whatever" about because I have not been to work except that extremely unpleasant time where I was treated like a criminal when I picked up my stuff.
Man. I just got more information out of him and like he is an IDIOT for even THINKING we would get this check today. It is going to be Monday at the EARLIEST. I swear-- he did not even GET anything from UPS, it was from our mortgage company saying it was going to be "sent out soon." I was like OMG. I tried to call mortgage lady but of course she is gone.
I am somewhat irritated. No, EXTEREMLY irritated. I hate going places at the best of times, let alone NOW. GRRRR.
I told the husband he was an idiot for not explaining this AT ALL (I swear to God he didn't although he also said "You are ......ed for not asking the right questions.") I was like, Jesus Christ, the RIGHT QUESTIONS"?? I am supposed to be a MIND READER NOW? Gah. A billion times gah. I guess I just have to be ready to bolt any time the check shows up. He left to go smoke I SWEAR sometimes. Oh well Autism strikes again. OR he was lying because he wanted me all ready to leave the SECOND the check arrived today and have me pack up ALL my things.
LOL life with Asperger's/Narcissism
He was mad-- because I wanted to see the email, because I tried to call the PERSON.
This sucks. Oh well. ;I'm The bad guy from like thinking we would definitely be leaving today. I am definitely gonna say when he returns, "Oh honey, let's grab some boxes from the garage then and use our time wisely," when he comes back in, only one of us might die if I said that.

Interesting! I plan to buy the FA Apple pie the next time I order. The nice thing about the Chemnovatic Lemons is it is not supposed to fade. I haven't had mine long enough to know how true this is. I have thought about using a lemon Meringue Pie in addition to the recipe I am using, but I am pretty happy with it so far. I do want to up the Lemon factor a bit though.
