I received the last of my birthday gifts today… I'm stuffed. Remember, a couple weeks ago at my birthday – – Groundhog Day – – I was going to cook me a steak dinner, a T-bone steak dinner for my birthday. I had already baked a cake and visited with some well-wishers via the phone and my son and family stop by. And Dianne gave me a gift of an extravaganza domino pizza with chicken wings! Because of the gifts of my family and self it seemed I was overflowing with birthday food. So, we decided to hold off on the pizza dinner until at work my way through this unexpected pile of calories.
I didn't think it would take two weeks but we decided on today, Saturday prelude to a snowstorm.
The local weather guys I've been promising the storm for some time. And once again I took action and did my market run yesterday for the weekend laying in burritos, bananas fresh grapes, items needed for holding up through the storm. I still hold out little hope of the major wideout but just to be on the safe side. I decided I wanted the pizza come late afternoon so I could have so this evening and then put the rest of my fridge for the rest of the week. I love cold pizza I even like dried out old pizza, I can enjoy pizza almost any condition the pizza wishes to present itself.
I'm a little embarrassed to say I have never ordered a pizza by myself that I can remember. And I did not order it today but Dianne did and sent to the apartment. There is a host of reasons I've never ordered the biggest being how to tip, the whole process intimidates me the same reason I won't play blackjack, roulette or any other of the casino games where you have to play in front of people and risk looking stupid. This pizza was the first pizza brought to my door during the Covid. What a weird process. I think it took four or five text messages to get the pizza here being notified almost every step of the way – – it was kind of cool. Then there is the whole process of putting something out in front of the door for the driver to put the pizza on. I had to wrangle one of my table chairs out in front of my unit.
Finally, the pizza and chicken wings arrived with a bottle of DP. Amazing. I've never had the chicken wings that I can remember which are pretty good. I opened the pizza box and was a bit chagrined to find half extravaganza and have I'm not sure what possibly cheese pizza. I took pictures and sent to Dianne to let her know I had gotten the goods and she was concerned that I had not gotten a whole extravaganza called Domino's who made it right! How exciting? Less than 20 minutes Dustin, the pizza driver, returned to the apartment with a new pizza done the right way. And now have two pizzas happy birthday to me twice I'm such a lucky duck sometimes I can hardly believe it…
