From Morning to Night: How I Made the Most of Yesterday and Today

Yesterday, I woke up around 8 Am to handle some "business". When I say handling "business", I'm not referring to anything illegal, I'm just referring to different personal errands that I don't want to disclose. 

After that, I took my dog to the park and then picked up some fresh dog treats from the dog bakery. Then I brought a 200 ml bottle of Svedka from the liquor store. Yes, I know it's cheap, but according to Google, people still drink it, especially at budget friendly parties. I saved the bottle for later that night around 9:30 PM and then went to a local pub for some Friday night action. Now this local pub I'm referring to, I haven't been to in 5 years. There was live music playing and it was kinda full in the main area so I went to a different room inside the bar where there was another bar. I set up my tripod stand and realized that I didn't have my SD card inside my camcorder, so I decided to use my camera phone instead.

One thing I hate about my new phone is that the footage from my 4K camera won't play once I transfer it with the SD card reader. My old phone, which I still have, plays 4K footage. I just don't want to use it because it's too old. The footage on my new phone has to be in 1080p in order to play. I'm forced to get another phone after only having it for a month. It's not even paid for. I'm still making payments on it and the screen is still cracked but that's another story. I'm not going to buy another one until I pay it off. I think I'm going to go back to Apple. I haven't had an iPhone in 3 years. I've been using Android. 

Today, I cooked spicy spaghetti with toast. I had one more vodka tonic and a straight shot. I have one more shot left before the bottle is finished. I was going to go out after drinking, but these Uber and Lyft prices skyrocket at certain times of the day- especially on Fridays and Saturdays. Around 3-7 pm, today and yesterday, I looked up a ride to a tattoo shop that's only 25 minutes away and it was $98 for one way and that was with a 50% off two rides promo code. 

Now you know I have to complain about something. Nothing's ever perfect. There's no way in hell I'm paying that much for a damn ride. That's insane. I decided not to get a tattoo. I can't get a tattoo sober. It's too painful. I have to have a drink to numb the pain. Tonight around 9:30 pm, when I looked up the prices on Uber and Lyft, they were much cheaper than they were earlier. The cost was actually $30 one way. A far cry from the $98 prices earlier. The prices always vary and can be shocking if you don't carefully plan your trip. Unfortunately, 9:30 pm is too late in the evening for a tattoo shop, as most of them close at 10 pm.
