this and that
Things I have done today:
1. Long phone chat with Susan from noon to not-quite-2pm. It was good to catch up!
2. Changed linens. Also rotated my mattress, which I think will help my sleep quality. I try to do that every time I swap my summer blankets for my comforter and vice versa, but I forgot to do that in October and the dents in the mattress were getting uncomfy.
3. Laundry. Ugh.
4. Swept leaves off my back porch/deck thingy and checked on my container garden.
5. Cooked salmon and broccoli for dinner. Yum. :D
6. Downloaded the free version of Lightworks and watched several tutorial videos. I still don't feel ready to mess around with anything complicated myself, but I think I can get to "make a basic video from three or four clips" by the end of the week.
7. Some church Board of Trustees stuff.
8. Kept compulsively checking news sites. I don't even know why! I think it's kind of a rebound from determinedly avoiding the news from Tuesday through Saturday morning, and being on a very news-light pattern since... hmm... April-ish? That is, I'd read local news in my local paper, but avoid national stuff as much as possible. And now I think I'm bingeing a little in reaction.
It's like the bends, but metaphorical, you know?
...
Anyway, I'm going to read fanfic for about twenty minutes and then go sleep on my newly rotated mattress. :) If you want to comment on this post, you can do so over here on Dreamwidth, where there are currently (
