And we start cool, but end up hot. National map has us clearing today and tomorrow, so sunny and all the moisture in the environment will make it humid. Well, even more humid than usual. It was 85F and stifling when I went out last night but a cool breeze snuck in and dropped the temp to the 70sF by midnight. That should be our starting point today.
Did mostly small things around the house yesterday. It’s supposed to be a sort of holiday for dads, so I thought I wouldn’t work too hard. I hung pictures that had been sitting on the floor for at least 6 weeks, and some that had been sitting in my bedroom for a year? maybe more. Picked up and put away stuff, cleaned some pipe stuff and got it ready for sale, moved some stuff in my office… and watched a few auctions play out.
I did win the ebay auction for my replacement suitcase. It should be here in a few days. It feels … weird to be replacing the old one. It was my anchor, and continuity in my life for decades of work travel. Decades of different hotel rooms but the same suitcase and arrangement of clothes and the stuff I needed to be comfortable. Weird to be getting rid of it. Of course the new one is the same as the old, just not beat to h3ll. I guess I’ll learn if that makes it weirder or helps.
I’m most comfortable when surrounded by familiar stuff.
Today I’ve got several auction pickups, and a bunch of office stuff to do. And all the rest of the list, with additional car stuff for D1 scheduled for Tuesday. The list just gets longer.
But I plug away at it. I can grind, even if it’s not as effective as it was. And I can still stack, although the stuff that needs stacking is a lot less than when I started. And that’s a good thing.
