No Gumption

I was awake before seven but didn’t have the drive to get moving. I didn’t want to crush the day under my stress so I forced myself to rise and wander to the computer. I worked on my MSC challenges. I hadn’t looked at them since I conquered April a week ago. I got about half of them knocked out before I felt like my guts were needing attention. I wandered down to the kitchen and started working on breakfast. I cooked the four strips of bacon, then the two uncased chorizo before adding them together with four scrambled egg and eventually a pittance of cheese. With the filling created, I rolled out the vessels. I had a tube of Pilsbury Grands and original crescents. I also needed a couple wraps to contain everything. I baked the filled dough as instructed and pressed the wraps. In the end I ate one of each and drained a flagon of raspberry lemonade. The blueberry version is no longer available at my store. The rest went in the fridge for later enjoyment. By the time I was done cooking, eating, washing, and drinking it was closing in on ten.

I went downstairs to play FS19, planning to mature, harvest, then plant a crop. I got part way through the planting of the next crop when I lost interest and shut it off. My audiobook was heating up so I wanted to keep going on it. I took it upstairs and played some HomeScapes while listening before just listening to the final chapters. When it ended I immediately went and purchased extra credits on Audible.ca (three for $39) to get the next two installments of the story. I’m literally invested now. By this time it was getting well into the afternoon and I felt like I could/should eat again. I grabbed a couple mini rolls from breakfast (reheated in air fryer), a bag of Miss Vickies Spicy Dill Pickle chips, and a king can of Dr Pepper before returning to my computer. I did some reading and played some more MSC challenge before reverting to YouTube. I meant to go cut the lawn and clean some toilets but I found that I couldn’t bring myself to do it. I was a little alarmed to realize that I wasn’t able to bring myself to do it, it is a bad omen. I don’t often watch it on a larger screen but today I worked through several days of piled up videos from the channels I subscribe to. Lots of nonsense and some fishing videos. If I’d have plugged in my wireless mouse and moved to my comfy chair I might have spent the night there. As it happened, I didn’t so I went back to my room and whiled away the rest of the night watching the Leafs on the Mini and doing some research for my next D&D character. I want it to have a rich and defined lore about it. The story I used for my current one I had been thinking about for years, I’ll follow the same process for this one. The Chef called at one point with a question, we only chatted briefly. By then the Leafs had secured the win over the Habs and I’d answered the questions I had. It was time for sleep. I made a bookmark and set the timer on the audiobook (book 2 now) and faded into the abyss of my dreams. The day was essentially wasted but I was feeling better by bed time.
