Slimy Sunday

Was up with the sun, six in the morning. Some sleep was recaptured but my day began in earnest at quarter past seven. A showered and dressing proper effort was put forth today after none such a day ago. There was lounging after that. HomeScapes until the battery failed me and then some audiobook whilst enjoying the low light of the early day. The weather turned here as it did elsewhere, showing a crueler, colder side to Mother Nature’s embrace. The warm comfort of the covers beckoned but the guts spoke bolder and louder. Soon I found myself plugging in the air fryer for the first time in several days. Maybe the longest absence of use since it’s utility was discovered. I warmed up the remaining Crescents and Grands from yesterday and touted them up to my office. I knocked out the one day of MSC challenges and got yesterday’s Musing posted publically. I cleaned out my personal email, some surveys that lingered and delivery notices that required filing. My Amazon order that I was told yesterday was severely delayed will apparently now be delivered today. I guess that delay was more acute than chronic. The hint of stress lingers, exacerbated by the short night of slumber. I’m not sure what I’ll do to combat it. It’s here with some depression too, also resultant from the low hours of sleep. It is sapping my will to get things done and I while not problematic currently, it’s not good. As a silver lining hunter, I’ll say that I’m glad that I’m now able to pick it out with my renewed mindfulness. If I can identify it, I can attack it. I lament for the many years from 2010 to 2018 where I didn’t have that power and was often at the mercy of mood. I wonder what I could be if I’d learned my harsh lessons sooner.

That was deeper than usual. Anyways, I incorporated my new stuff into the hordes of old stuff that I’ve accumulated. I can remember moving in here and felt like the house was half full and I was running on a minimal level of towels, linens, etc. now I feel like I’m fully outfitted. I’m probably not but I’ve jammed a heck of a lot of crap into the place. Not much of consequence happened for the middle portion of the day. I listened to my audiobook, the third of the trilogy. At one point I ate the most of a bag of chips on the deck. It was windy and unpleasant. I looked like a weirdo, if you didn’t see my headphones you’d think I was just sitting out eating chips in unpleasant weather. I played more HomeScapes and spent more money on in-app purchases like a fool. When the battery got low again I decided I needed to do something constructive. I took my headphones and went to the boat. I need to remove a lot of foam out of the area I want to put all my electrical. I chose to use my old machete for the task, naturally. I’m sure there are better tools but I wasn’t expecting to do much. I got over halfway done this side. Mostly handling the easy part. It is more difficult under the lips. Whoever put this in did a good job sealing the top but didn’t seal between the blocks and there was water and some rot in there. The garage smells funky now. I’ll try to get back to it this week.

I was pretty gassed after my efforts and after spending a few minutes catching my breath I set about dinner. I pounded the easy button by making some perogies. I dumped an appropriate amount in the air fryer and in ten minutes I was knocking back a healthy bowlful. After eating and cleaning up I made my way upstairs and read some of my new books. I found some really helpful info in there. I played a bit more HomeScapes. It’s safe to say I have an issue with it. I finished the day with some YouTube before falling asleep around half ten. No Sunday cinema night so I got to sleep in my own bed this week.
