mushroom risotto rice

 sometimes there is food left on the counter in the breakroom at work. it is often expired or will be soon. i often claim it, especially if it is boxes of cereal. this week it was ben's original rice, mushroom risotto. it tasted fine. i opened the packet and dumped it in a pan and heated it up on the stove top once water was added. i did this in the evening, it was an eventful day. i did some more overtime at work. much like the previous saturday it worked well on doing four hours, again filling a tub an hour. i ran over seven thousand checks through the machine. in fact just eighteen fewer than the previous saturday. i bought two items from the vending machine and ate them during that time, some planters peanuts and some oatmeal raisin cookies, along with a granola bar i brought in my lunch bag. then i had a sandwich and tea from the nearby walgreen once i was done for the day. i drove home and checked email, then i was on the road again. i made it to the water park in eagan. this annual visit had been postponed several times. i looked at the page i put notes on and originally i wanted to do it back in june. well this weekend was the last chance as they are closing for the season soon. i was there for a little over an hour, went on the lazy river on an inner tube first. then i went on most of the water slides after that. when they called a safety break at 5pm i knew my time there had to be ending soon. so i went on one more slide. then i had some pizza and a chocolate eclair ice cream bar and i left. it was likely a thinner crowd than the previous week as i saw more open parking spaces. i am sure the state fair had something to do with it. then i went home and got groceries at aldi. after this was done i turned on the Fox baseball game of the week. i watched about half of it, twins were playing the rangers. but i was tired and laid down and fell asleep. later on i found out the twins lost. during my walks i found 93 cents.
