tamarind

 drank tamarind as a snack at midday. it was in jarritos soda in a bottle, at walgreen in the closeout aisle. this soda brand has name recognition as i had drank it at one of the venues i had performed at- the place didn't serve beer. it rang up as just fifty cents. also had oscar mayer lunchables and a twix ice cream candy bar. had to look it up on wikipedia about this fruit, had never heard of it. this is tropical, and can be used as traditional medicine as well as metal polish. the wood can be used for woodworking. it tasted fine. at work there was a temporary solution found on the envelope stuffer. there was two techs that arrived just before midday and re-wired the unit. the part ordered was apparently stuck in memphis, but should still be arriving soon. my colleague ran through something like eight thousand checks by the end of the day and we should be caught up by midday friday. my boss hoped that we would be far enough along that my colleague could go back to working from home but the main variable is the part installation, along with any more checks that are printed friday. i went on a walk in the evening and found 70 cents. the 'big bang theory' reruns were when sheldon got cats after things ended with amy, and his mom was called in. sheldon re-started his relationship with amy and got rid of the cats. it was followed by the one where howard takes sheldon's class. thanks to youtube videos i have another bio-pic to look up, 'beyond the sea' about musician bobby darin. john goodman is in it. i recall wanting to see it at theaters many years ago, but i think it was in limited release. looks like it is available on DVD at amazon, and i do have some gift card money to use.
