 Sooo - Taylor texts me this morning.  Well, breakfast came up.

What? Lol.  She then went into how someone had literally s*** ALL over the restroom in the Chili's she works at. The sink, the floors, the toilet.  Sounds like what one of my Danes of the past did one night lol.  Gross tho, I can see "blowing up", having an episode it happens, but why all over the entire restroom?  Yuck.  This is why I am teaching the 6 year old to put toilet paper down on the toilet seat in public restrooms.  He didn't like it yesterday, tried to move it off the toilet. No, boy, who knows what kind of  - junk - maybe on that toilet seat?  So I put the toilet paper back on and he reluctantly sat down on it.  

It's Thursday.  I'm contemplating whether to take tomorrow off as well. NOt because I need to, I'm feeling much better. Not 100% but enough to go back to work. Just because it's my birthday lol.  Tomorrow that is, not today.  I dunno, but I'm unfortunately likely to be gone while they are having to empty out bedrooms for the carpet installation.  So I started on that yesterday,  continuing on with dumping old papers that are no longer needed into the trash.  Receipts, expired contracts, manuals for things I've bought, papers from work - stuff that is rather useless at this point.  Less to move.  In fact, I may just move some stuff out into the dining area today.  But, they have some stuff in my room from the new floor installation in the main areas of the house.  

And I am not helping with that, I don't know where they want the stuff. I have helped quite a lot with getting things where I do know it goes back into place and cleaning up.  The house looks so much better, really.  

I made a Keto lasagna yesterday for dinner.  The "noodles" are made out of mozzarella cheese with spices and a couple eggs added to it.  The sauce just like any other lasagna sauce - most of that is keto friendly.  It was a roaring success.  I was amazed at how close to real lasagna it tasted! Today I was thinking about it and determined to make it even better, make the noodles a day in advance and dry them out a bit on paper towels to give it a firmer texture.  Still, a lot of the newer keto recipes are getting more and more tasty. 

My dilemma continues.  After reading a lot of sites about cashing out 401k's, it seems almost not worth it to do that now.  They state many companies will deduct 30% of it to pay the 10% penalty and the taxes you will owe beyond the penalty.  2-1/2 years from now, I can cash it out without the 10% penalty.  

But do I wait that long to start a business?  No, is my answer to that.

Met up with Taylor after she was done working. I was hacking away - cough subsided for a couple days and then came back with a vengeance. Chili's was dead, no one to complain.  You know, if you have anything, it's automatically COVID. I've been tested, so there is that.  

It's quite a bit different take with Taylor actually working there and employees opening up about their personal lives.  Nothing horrid, interesting actually.  

 Friday late-morning Typical morning when there is no work.  It was, I should say, until the new guy called.  "There's nothing wron...
