Kids were home in the afternoon and monopolized the washing machine, or I&#8217;d have gotten some domestic bliss in there too.<\/p>\n<p>I did manage to cook a full dinner, which I&#8217;ve detailed in yesterday&#8217;s comments.

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&#8217;t do for my time and work.<\/p>\n<p>D2 is on a school trip for the rest of the week.  D1 will be rattling around the house and then at a friend&#8217;s for the weekend.  I need to keep moving and keep doing stuff no matter how small.  Movement is good.<\/p>\n<p>Work.  It&#8217;s what you do until you die.  Hopefully, there will be plenty for me to work on for a couple more decades.   I&#8217;d just like to be a bit more in control of what I do.<\/p>\n<p>Always be working.  Always be stacking.<\/p>\n<p>nick<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Warm and moist.
