I got in a load of laundry and made tomato sauce, so today wasn't a total loss. I also scrubbed down the doors of the kitchen cabinets.
I awoke at the "normal" time of 6:45, but after not all that long it was obvious that my FitBit was lying to me when it said that I had had a good night's sleep. For one thing, I remember waking a few times, and my eyes burned like I'd spent hours in front of a screen. I ended up going back to bed for a couple more hours a bit later, and that helped a lot more.
I did miss Quaker Meeting, but the extra sleep was nice. I could theoretically have attended because I was awake just in time, but I wasn't especially ready, and having the Zoom Meeting "on" while I do things like wrangle the dog and brush my teeth is pretty counterproductive.
Anyway, I got a few things done, but DST messed with me even more than I thought it would, and I ended up chilling with Peggy and the cats most of the day. I watched some Prime Suspect, and decided I didn't want to watch the final chapter of it, because they decided it would be a good idea to turn Tennyson into an alcoholic, and just... no. I can understand wanting to take the character in a different direction, but what I loved about the series was that she was a complicated hard-ass who had to work three times as hard and be twice as brilliant to get ahead in her field, and I'm just not ready to watch them tear her down to give her a "proper retirement" or whatever. I'm not saying it's inherently a bad choice, it's just not something I'm interested in watching at this time.
I started The Good Doctor today, and I am not sure how I feel about it. It doesn't seem like a particularly accurate portrayal of autism or even savant syndrome, and they kill a rabbit in the first episode for emotional effect, I guess? Also there is a LOT of second-hand embarrassment, and I never do well with that.
Now it's time for dinner and then bed.
television: valet parking for the mind,
daylight savings time,
sleep,
domestic stuff
