It took a while for the Instant Pot to get up to pressure, and that was after the rushing around to get it in the pot itself. The plan was to get the instant pot chili set up for the lunch for the week. Well, I was going to do that yesterday, but I needed to do laundry yesterday. And as it only takes 35 minutes at pressure to cook this chili and I was scheduled to work at 11:30 instead of 11am I figured that it would be fine to get that pot done before work. It was taking so long for it to get to pressure I looked it up on Reddit, and apparently the larger recipes take longer to pressurize because the entire pot has to get up to boiling ...

I didn't get up early enough to buy the new scale or belt. I ran by Walmart during lunch and grabbed a belt, but forgot the scale. The scale seemed to be pretty stable this morning.

A bit annoyed that the weight is up this morning. It's within the realm of “daily fluctuations” so I'm not too worried about that, but today is the first day of the month so it kind of messes up the average for the month. Still amazing progress for the year, heck even compared to the average over last month.

I was kind of shocked by the eggs this morning. I cooked the bacon like normal, but when I went to crack open the eggs they were slightly frozen. I was kind of freaked out because the egg whites were all jelled up and there were crystal like formations inside of them. I calmed down a bit when I realized that the crystals were water ice. But it still kind of freaked me out that the eggs were freezing in the fridge. I defrosted the freezer on Tuesday and the cardboard tray that was holding the eggs was still wet from the melt water. Maybe the cold water from melting out the freezer and then turning on the fridge again was enough to freeze the eggs?

I started taking notes over the day, but I forgot the note in my supervisor vest. And I didn't have much to write down today. It was a pretty standard, boring day. As a supervisor, I shouldn't complain about boring days. But those are the days when I question what I'm doing with my life. (That's seems a bit more dramatic than I'm aiming for) It would be nice to have a job to be working TOWARDS something. Something that I could look back on and say that I DID THAT. But working at a grocery store, yesterday was last week, which was six months ago, which will be two weeks from now. There's really no sense of progression, no sense of doing anything I'm just going back to work the next day. Perhaps when Roommate goes back to work I can start working on my videos again. 

I forgot the rent check this morning. I wrote it out this morning and I'll leave it with my wallet so I can get it sent tomorrow morning. It is kind of ironic that Roommate sent me his half of the rent and it landed in my account on the first, but I forgot to send it. It'll be sent tomorrow when I go to work. But I had to catch myself spending money today. I had a payday and I started buying energy shots and drinks, and the Savage Slim Jim. But I caught myself I think it'd be a bit dramatic if Roommate sent me his half of the rent and it ended up being snacked up before the rent check came through.

Grilled up some hamburger patties. And they were rather excitable on the grill. I had a couple of moments when the grill fire blazed up pretty high. I had bought a cheaper brand of hamburger patties back on Tuesday so maybe there was a bit more grease in those patties. I'm just kind of glad that I don't have any bangs to worry about with that grill going up like that.
