Day 397

I work up from the alarm today.  It woke me from a sound sleep, I wasn't happy.  I couldn't go to sleep, though.  The first thing Ellen did was inform me that Trump had won.  That was absolutely fantastic news.  I spent the next hour on the web reading comments from crying liberals.  They are such dumb shits.

I got up, did the pet stuff and had breakfast.  I was setting up to work on the switch board when I remembered that the new blinds were in.  So we left to pick them up instead.  I loaded the old ones in the truck.  Unfortunately it wouldn't start, the batteries are too run down.  Thinking back, it's been over 2 weeks since I've run it.  I can't charge it until it quits raining (it rained all day).  So I moved the blinds to the car.  I had to put half of the back seat down, Lucy was not amused.

When we went to Lowe's to pick up the new blinds we had to wait behind some dumb shit who had read a copy of their Black Friday ad on the web.  He couldn't understand why they wouldn't sell him an item at that price today.  For some reason it took them 10 or 15 minutes to make him go away.

After we got the blinds we went to Best Buy.  I was going to buy an Oculus.  They didn't have any in stock, but there were some at Bee Cave.  As we were driving to the post office Ellen looked up reviews of the Oculus.  Apparently it doesn't work all that well.  So I decided not to buy one. 

We dropped off the old blinds at Goodwill and then ate at Jim's.  It's a cool place.  After that it was go home.

When we got home I started to install the blinds.  It wasn't a hard job, but it did take some effort.  There were four supports per blind, and they had to be positioned carefully.  The new ones look nice.  Unfortunately there are some old blind supports nailed to the wall by one of the windows.  They were covered up by the old blinds, but not the new ones.  I'll have to pull them out and then Ellen will have to paint the walls.

When the blinds were done we had to change Ellen's bag.  Then I sat in the chair, played Minions, and read.

After dinner we watched TV and read.
