Thursday
It's a federal holiday, because of President Carter's funeral. I went back to sleep after I first woke, then flopped around doing nothing until around 10am. Then T and I started putting away Christmas, and went beyond that, organizing and semi-refurbishing the crawl space under the house so we could put some of T's "second household" stuff under there, along with all the Christmas stuff. We made great progress! We agreed that next weekend (I'll be going to MAL tomorrow through Monday) we'll take a bunch of books and board games to Friends of the Library. We're also starting to gather another bunch of unneeded pet supplies to take to the animal shelter.
Over time we'll whittle down all this stuff and the Media Cave will become presentable again.
I'm happy that T is tackling this stuff, along with deferred maintenance that was just too much for me to handle living here alone while doing all the supervisor stuff.
After I get back from MAL and get back into working each day again, next on my list is getting new tires and brakes for my car. T is helping me to figure out the best place to have that work done instead of just going to the dealer which has been my (expensive) default.
I'd thought I'd both walk and lift weights today, but after doing all those chores I'm putting off the weights until tomorrow morning. I'll need to head out by 10:30am tomorrow because I scheduled a Noon haircut before I head to MAL sometime Friday afternoon.
I've warned Ben that I'm not really in an MAL mood this year, but that I'll be happy to see him and play with him. I'm just not feeling like I want to be around crowds of sexy guys and trying to get some of them to notice me. Hanging out with Ben will be fun, but I may spend more time at the condo than I do at the MAL hotel. We'll see. Ben is flexible, as he always is. He'll fit me into his schedule as much as I want, and then he'll look for fun with other people when I'm done.
We think we've tracked down the cause of my crampy diarrhea -- two different Blue Apron recipes that included raw carrots. Raw carrots have some complex carbohydrates that are simpler to digest when carrots are grilled or cooked, it seems my intestines do not like those raw carrot carbs. From now on when Blue Apron calls for raw carrots in a meal, I'll have to roast or cook them instead.
I have Friday and Monday off, but I have to do one work chore today or tomorrow before I disappear. Technically was due COB yesterday, but nobody will care if it is finished by tomorrow morning.
I finished setting up the Frostpunk board game and now want to try playing it for a while today. T is interested in playing it with me, but I need to learn it myself first.
