Day: October 30, 2025

Thur. Oct. 30, 2025 – Halloween approaches

Cool, soon to be cold. Probably low 60sF to start then warmer later. Not too warm though, I don’t think it even hit 75F yesterday. Clear skies and more wind is probably in the forecast again. It was 55F when I went to bed.

I actually got some stuff done today. I received my IKEA delivery (and later assembled the drawers and doors.) Paid the lawn guy. His industrial strength backpack blower could barely move all the acorns off the walk and into the grass. The concrete is stained with the tannin from where they got crushed and wet. Did four pickups and the thrift store next door to one.

I even made dinner and did a load of laundry. Oh, and there was more domestic bliss in the morning too. I even found a little time to read. All in all a productive day.

Today I’m hoping to do more of the same. I still have shelves to mount in the laundry room, and to replace everything we moved out to paint and reconfigure… and I have more cleaning and organizing to do, as well as more decorating. I might hit a thrift store on my way home from the two pickups I need to do and see if more stuff for my tentative theme jumps out at me. If not, this might be a fairly low key year.

Most of this work is to improve my current situation. Shore up some things, so to speak. I’ve still got a lot of generator work to do, including installing the wheel kit I got yesterday… among other things. The list is long, the time is short, and the motivation is lacking.

Don’t stop stacking.
