Saturday - morning
The big day has finally arrived. My involvement is buying taco fixings for the reception. It's not going to be anything fancy, just crunchy tacos with normal fixings for it. Although, it doesn't come with sour cream so I feel a visit to the grocery store for a couple of tubs of it is warranted lol. A chain restaurant nearby is donating their wonderful chips and salsa for the event. Trust me, their chips are awesome. I don't want to say the name of the chain as to eliminate any trolling/doxing that may occur because of it.

Done. Sour cream bought, 4 large red onions chopped up, I saw no reason to pay the high price for those 2 items that the restaurant is charging as an "extra" and it only took a run up to the store and maybe 10 minutes to chop the onions up. The rest of it is coming from Jucy's tacos and the other restaurant, I will be doing a bit of running around right before the wedding, but neither of those places are more than a couple miles away from where the wedding is taking place.
In the perfect world, I'll go to one place, pick it up and leave and to the other, pick all the taco stuff up, leave, get to the wedding hall, unload all of it and put it on whatever tables are provided and be done with it. Taco meat, cheese, lettuce, salsa, jalapenos, onions and sour cream plus a large tin pan full of their delicious refried beans. If it isn't enough, oh well, go home and eat. There should be plenty of tacos to go around tho. Cheap plates, napkins and bringing serving utensils as well. I don't know if the wedding hall supplies any of that and not taking any chances. Not a fan of last minute stuff where you're running to a store when you should be enjoying the festive atmosphere.
Supposedly 46 people showing up, not all of them will eat. I think we have this covered. I called the Jucy's as soon as they opened and they assured me that it's no problem. Good, cause' I gave you 6-1/2 hours advance notice.
A family that "should" be staying another 2 months or so paid up without having to ask. The New Jersy people promised a good amount of money 6 days from now, which makes sense, it coincides with the monthly disability check. I will be on their doorstep on that day firmly asking for money. If they put this off yet again, it's going to be bye-bye. They absolutely must get paid up to the end of the previous month and at least some into the current month, which I flatly told them yesterday. No problem, they said anyway.
I think there's a couple more payments due before the end of the month and then, the beginning of the month where I can only hope beyond hope the 3 people stay and don't decide to find greener pastures elsewhere.
That will screw things up royally for me. Meanwhile, I have renewed one of the Facebook ads and going to remove an older one and write up a new one. We are doing drone footage of the park tomorrow. Taylor's dad brought his drone. In exchange for that, he gets to fire off the AR-15's. I just happen to have a handy-dandy place back in the woods where we can do that for free. It will cost ammo and ammo isn't exactly cheap, but hey, it's a high dollar drone he has with excellent quality cameras His drone allegedly can go a mile away from the controller.
All I need is overhead of the park and hopefully he can take footage of the walking trails.
Other than that, the itching went on last night. Woke me up out of a dead sleep. Put some of the lotion on which helped immensely and went back to sleep - after an hour and a half. Not feeling quite so itchy today, don't know if it's going away or if I just get a reprieve for some reason. I think I'll take a nap to make up for lost sleep. The kids are immersed in their video games so they aren't making a lot of noise, thankfully.
G'day
