-- Finally put up the three framed pictures that have been sitting in the office for the last couple of months.
-- Fixed a few small issues in the shower (filled a gap in the caulk in one spot and glued/regrouted a loose tile) (hoping this'll finally do the trick)
-- Slept in until 7 because any later and both of our cats would jump on us demanding breakfast
-- Replaced a few things in our community garden plot
-- Successfully avoided doing any actual writing work BUT caught up with some blogging and journaling, with a vague plan to readjust said writing issues
-- Finally finished the mixtape I've been wanting to finish (still no name yet, other than "Mixtape 2026 I") and started another one tying in with my Walk in Silence project.
-- Caught up with various other house errands and shopping. Things are now well-stocked, cleaned, gassed up, and put away.
-- Realized that I am not dreading heading back to the Day Job this week, even though I'm doing two midshifts today and tomorrow. This is a very good sign!
Did not get to it, but am planning to do on upcoming days off:
-- Rearranging/cleaning up the garage storage room. I bought a puck light to put on the ceiling that should help visibility in there.
-- Related: I have a handful of books in there that can probably be donated.
-- Rearranging/straightening out/labeling my writing bins in the garage for easier access. I'd like to restart the scanning project that I'd begun at the old place to get my longhand work digitized.
Other future plans:
-- Post here more often, partly as a way to get my brain rewired (see previous post) to do things like this purely for the hell of it.
-- Journal more often, same reason.
-- Now that I've learned that my shorter breaks at work are fifteen minutes and not ten, I feel I have a few more minutes to do fun things like map drawing or whatever. Learning how to relax, and rewiring my brain away from passive scrolling. [Playing the daily Squaredle and checking on texts from A is allowed, of course.]
