Day: January 5, 2024

Fri. Jan. 5, 2024 – Friday comes awfully early when the week starts on Wednesday…

Cold and clear, with overcast and a small chance of rain… says me. Dunno what the weather liars say. Couldn’t be bothered to check. It was cold yesterday and stayed cold all day. 50s. Yuck.

So I stayed in and did ‘in the house’ stuff. Payed taxes. Sorted bills. Filed. Cleaned and put away things. Fixed things. Got my soldering setup out and fixed 4 things that had been waiting for a while. I like fixing stuff, and it’s a valuable skill. I’ve got other stuff that needs solder repair and troubleshooting, but ran out of time.

Today I’ll do some more inside stuff, then leave the house and do a pickup or two. Time to get the stuff I won earlier in the week. It would be nice if it wasn’t raining, just to make the driving easier.

We’re also taking down inside Christmas stuff. I’d leave it for another week but someone else wants to clean the house. Oh well, Grinch wins this round. I’ll just leave the lights up for an extra week 😉 Can’t put them away if they’re wet, after all…

Seriously though, I should get some of the Christmas stuff put away, and the Halloween stuff too. I held it out so I could re-stack the stuff in chronological need order… but it means that some fake pumpkins are in the driveway still.

Can’t believe it’s already Friday. Kids are still out of school until Tuesday so they are keeping everyone up late at night. That’s what holiday breaks are for though, staying up reading, playing games, watching movies, sleeping late. Makes it harder to return to the school schedule though.

In the old days, you life revolved around the daylight, animals, and the seasons. Now our life revolves around school and the school schedule. Wonder if we’ll end up with something else to order our days in the not too distant future… like patrol schedules, watch rotations, AND the needs of the garden and animals.

Hope not, but I’m still stacking…
