Warm and moist. Chance of rain. Chance of sun too for that matter. It got sunny and warm later in the day yesterday, and actual was a bit uncomfortable. Sure doesn’t feel like winter any more. I think Spring is firmly here.
Did a bunch of piddly stuff around the house yesterday. Put handles on a cabinet. Installed some of the changes to my networking. Fixed a couple of things. Sorted and put away some stuff. Kids were home in the afternoon and monopolized the washing machine, or I’d have gotten some domestic bliss in there too.
I did manage to cook a full dinner, which I’ve detailed in yesterday’s comments. I would like to be back at a point where I can cook more often. With the kids’ activities, and ours, I don’t see much of that coming up though.
Today I’ve got a couple of auction pickups. I need to go by my rent house too. Tenant called about the garage door not opening and getting jammed so I need to take a look at that. It might be something I can fix, and it might be something better left to a pro. At least we can deduct money we spend on hires, which we can’t do for my time and work.
D2 is on a school trip for the rest of the week. D1 will be rattling around the house and then at a friend’s for the weekend. I need to keep moving and keep doing stuff no matter how small. Movement is good.
Work. It’s what you do until you die. Hopefully, there will be plenty for me to work on for a couple more decades. I’d just like to be a bit more in control of what I do.
Always be working. Always be stacking.

After working pretty much all night Tuesday* and consequently going to sleep very early Wednesday night and consequently waking up around 0300 today, I read some Aeneid and then wondered what I should do. And the answer came to me and I wondered why I even had to wonder.
Hey, Denis! Why are you still asleep? What are you, some kind of snoooooozer?
Oh, and also: Frsit pots!!!!!!11!!!
* Something needed to be completed before 0700 and the customer was paying enough to make it worthwhile to work on it through the night
Good morning, dear SteveF!
Yes, this morning I am indeed a snooooozer. For reasons unknown to man or beast, I was awake a long time in the night, and when I eventually did conk out, I slept until nearly 10 am. Fortunately, I am on leave from work, so slugabed is OK, even desirable.
I wasn’t quite as polymath as SteveF, reading Virgil (in the Latin, or translated?), but I did read one of the Science Fiction Megapacks from Wildside Press, which are just right for insomnia – short stories, not dull, and not too much thinking required. Recommended, not just for sleepless nights.
I do have an inkling why I couldn’t sleep. The nasty pollen time has reached the BOL; my eyes started itching around bedtime, and my sinuses are stuffy. On top of that, yesterday was the anniversary of my dear father’s death. He would have been 99 this year. I miss him.
It is a beautiful spring day here; blue skies and sunshine. Too bad about the pollen, though. The RAV4 is at the car doctor’s for a service (just over 200000km), so I will take a walk later and pick it up.
Have a lovely day!
