Sept 24

Backstory: updated the Official blog, rewatched more Slow Horses, fell asleep in front of Slow Horses, slept most of the night on my cushy gray person-bed in front of the fireplace, zero regrets.

Today: heard back from the concrete replacement people. Person. Whichever. The repair is due to begin tomorrow 8 AM. Which means I have to get up a bit early to move the car off the driveway, so that we will have a vehicle on the OUTside of the repaired patch that won’t be able to support a vehicle for at least 5 days. (weather dependent)

Took a lovely walk around the neighborhood between breakfast (yogurt n crunches again) and lunch (hummus, cashews, pita chips and a 1/4 of a hugeass Cosmis Crisp apple) More trees are coming down. Between the ash borers and the drought, it’s been a bad year for a lot of hardwoods. I suspect we’ll lose even more next year.

I sat down at the desk early, but then got sucked into playing with graphics rather than writing. Which, yes, is A Problem, but also not, because it does need doing, at least to a certain extent. And it’s super hard to focus here at home knowing that (1) I have to go into work 2 hours early and (2) one of those hours will be off-the-clock but still at the ‘brar with my laptop. Which is more or less perfect writing conditions.

I got my puzzle obligations done, I have played with the cat, and I have cleaned some things. And I’ve worked on the grocery list for shopping (probably) tomorrow. That’s a nice amount of checkmarks in the daily chores column. And now it’s time to pack for work.
