I skipped PB today having played Friday, Saturday and Sunday. My brain says yes but my shoulder and knee and hand say a rest day might be a good idea. The rest of the week is full finishing off with a longish four hours at the Ranch for 'Barksgiving'. Open house. I volunteered for four hours of dog walking and, presumably, interacting with visitors. That is something that I specifically said I would not do. But there I will be.

So today is a quiet nothing day. It is supposed to rain but I don't think that will happen. The drought continues. I miss a good rain and miss cool weather. It is going to be over 80 and humid today. It is already 77 and humid at 10:30, just when the morning PB is done. Just as glad I didn't play.

It is supposed to cool down starting tomorrow but I see in another week it will be back in the 80s again. Mid November. Nope, no climate change to see here.

Having said that I do remember sitting outside drinking Margaritas at a restaurant in Jacksonville, FL on Christmas Eve.

I cashed out my Crypto. Nine months or so ago I bought a couple of hundred bucks of Ethereum using money from Prolific. It has gone down and stayed there. I ended up losing about $41 in fake money. I decided to convert it to real money today. With our latest $2200 invoice from the car repair place I'm scraping up pennies to keep from having to take out any more money from our IRA. The rule is we don't pay Chase any credit card interest. I mostly like to pay off everything every Friday but this might wait a bit until next week's SS payment to finish off the debt. Still no interest, though and we've still got a bit in savings that I have earmarked for other things and could always redirect.

We were supposed to be putting more money in savings but the financial hits just seem to continue. If things would settle down a bit we could rebuild the savings account.

Meanwhile, I'm making a few bucks on Prolific. The election has generated innumerable studies who are willing to pay more than usual. It is not quite like working but close.

Since I'm skipping over all the election stuff, the news (on my phone, in my email, and on TV) is a lot shorter. I kind of like it.
