Day 534 Large and larger

23rd January 2019

Had a brunch with Dave, and went to the International house of pancakes (IHOP) I think this is the first time I have been to one of these places ever. I resisted the “ All the pancakes you can eat for $4.99” as I didn’t wish to be found dead in the place. There were quite a few “ large” people who live there because they are, A) Jammed in the seat, or B) Not able to squeeze through the door to leave.

Whilst we were out I had the pleasure of walking round Meijers as Dave had to buy some supplies. As I waited, I noticed just how many plastic carrier bags were used. The carousels spun dispensing hundreds of them while I was watching, but worst of all there is no charge for using them. This is contrary to other items that are collected or recycling.

I attempted to stain the top of the low dresser with a walnut stain the I got from Meijers.

This was not my regular brand, and as soon as i applied it I knew it was a mistake. The top ended up much too red, and not like any walnut I’ve seen. So I mixed in some black stain and redid it.
