Please tip the writer. Whatever amount you like-every little bit helps, and I’ll do a shoutout. We are always short of cash, especially with a big mortgage. Let me know if you or someone you know needs web design/development-my rates aren’t bad, and I’m more than pretty good at it. Java/database/AWS/UI too. ThankYouVeryMuch!
It’s fall, and very much fall here-trees losing their leaves, rain, chilly. We all like this weather-reminds me of growing up in Cleveland. I’ve been daydreaming about alternate life paths, one of which is not getting a job in London, getting one in Cleveland, buying my parents’ house when they left for L.A., and how that would play out. All sorts of dreams to remodel the house and property…marrying Judy… Anyways, a good way to fall asleep, daydreaming about that sort of stuff, and the things. Life goes on, day after day. Politics and global events are certainly fun-I’ve been reading articles from Foreign Affairs, much like I used to read Stratfor. I’m also getting daily emails from NY Times and Oregon Live so I’m keeping up, but trying not to let it infect my life-been there, blogged about it. I should pepper this with links, just because-done.
Weds., mid-morning. Got one thing done-woo-hoo! Light w/o yesterday-my shoulder is bothering me, so just bike, legs, stretch and t’ai chi. We’re trying to slow down our legs in t’ai chi. And one push move really makes my shoulder pop, plus any reaching. Gonna message the doctor-no response-just not doing arms.
Thursday morning. I’ve been waking up early, going back to sleep, and waking up to the alarm. This is hard. I retired one of my hats-a kippah from a Jewish store in Costa Mesa-had it for many years. Not much else-watched the new South Park. Otherwise, the usual…tidy, kitchen, dinner, laundry, TV.
And it’s Friday! Woo-hoo! Nothing planned, but it’s nice to not have to get up early. Time to write down weekend tasks. I should set aside time for practice and thinking/writing. Like it’ll happen. If I don’t veg out in front of the TV, it might. Starting back on cold weather weekend breakfasts-bagels in the summer, crock pot oatmeal and Japanese style rice with veg & bonito flakes in the winter. Almost lunch-got the task writing done-I love this pocket-sized notebook-trying to figure out what to do with all the notebook type bits I have. S is going to Opal Creek next week for outdoor school, so I think we’ll spend the weekend getting prepped for that. Time to go.
Monday, noon. Busy weekend, got stuff done, and S prepared for outdoor camp. Still doing light workouts. Watched Avengers: Endgame-a fine ending to Phase 3. Picked up C & J from separate shows(!) And it’s been cold, so winter breakfasts were nice. And we made Cincinnati chili from a package. Not enough spaghetti, and we thickened the sauce, so not the real thing. It was a pumpkin spice chili package-we dropped the pumpkin, but it worked great for Cinci…
Thursday, late afternoon, I think I’m cooked. The usual sort of week, but quieter because S is gone. Skipped w/o on Tues., had an MSG loaded lunch and snack, felt odd and ill. Got a few things done. Busy at work. Need to reload my phone with music-deleted everything to put IOS 13 on there-iTunes was a bastard. Reading a pretty good SF book.
Friday morning-in a meeting. I think I’ll call this. S got back yesterday, was very tired. Everything else is going fine. M is back at school, C is driving more.
Trying to stay away from politics, but this: “A Category Error”.
Links/viddys-brighter side: nothing-didn’t really look hard. Not so bright: don’t even want to go there.
