Thanks for reminding me that I need to save up for a bottle of Sartorial!
 
“Accidentally “ ? Puh-lease start living in reality. You can’t start treating the problem till you identify it. 🤓
Okay so it went like this:
Hey, wasn't there a soap that was going to be released on Monday?
Oh there it is.
Hey, it should have sold out quickly and it's still there!!
It's in my basket now.
Hey, I thought all new items had free shipping at WCS but it says free with $45 purchase.
Well, I can't pay for shipping.
<< Minutes pass by search the site and thinking about taking a flier on a blind buy >>
There, added that soap I just tried.
Oh, I'm 0.01 under free shipping.
I need to get to work!
<< Adds the matching splash >>
There, it'll be okay. I only meant to buy one soap.
 
Finally today!

No video posted because reasons. And the reasons are I was a little behind the schedule I had for myself in my head. I would have thought "M" would be pretty easy, but I only had 2 soaps that fit it and both by Tallow + Steel. It's been a while since I've had a super close shave, so I took the opportunity to chase the dolphin with an excellent razor. What a difference. I could even hear the blade in the head, but had to look after the first pass to assure myself it was in there because I couldn't feel it at all.

Sure was nice not having to get up for work for a while, but were we are again. I mentioned in my last video how coming to work now feels like a game of musical chairs. Who's going to be "it" when the surge hits. We made it through this weekend without things going to all heck. Other than a suspect fleeing from the cops to be shot in one of our clinic parking lots. But luckily no people around as it was on a weekend. In different news the weight loss journey has come to a screeching halt. I can only think of two reasons. One being the move to the new house is over and working in the command center means a lot less body movement vs the little bit I was getting before. The other would be adding in a few full bottles of wine a week and splurging on a nightly snack of pistachios since this whole COVID thing started. I used to mostly do celery at night. Took a few pounds back. As long as I'm bouncing around the same place I guess that's okay until I decide to get back on the wagon fully again.
No stray shots came near the Tesla I hope!

Video posted. I think I might need to try a different blade in the OREN as this one seemed to have petered out before it should have.
