Finally got the expenses I was owed. Doesn't amount to that much, but every little bit these days...
Didn't sleep well, I drank too much yesterday afternoon. Yesterday was just too much. I just couldn't take one more bit of bad, dark, news. I turned everything off, got my book, and a drink, and went back to bed. The weather broke and there was a strong cooling breeze. It's nice today. The humidity is gone. There are some clouds, but it's cool and sunny, no humidity.
I made coffee, caught up with some things, made some breakfast and watched some
Ultra Seven.

And just like that, it's lunch time. I think after lunch I might go out on the porch and read. The electric company is doing some work on the lines, a lot of yelling, and there are lawns being cut, and a masonry wall being repaired...it is noisy, so I might wear some headphones.
I'm in a weird place, as are most people. I have enough to see me through months, if I watch the spending, which I have been doing. There's no work. I haven't worked in five or six weeks now. I've reached out to some folks, but, there's nothing going at the moment, or in the foreseeable future. I've done some training classes. Practiced some drawing and scribing. I supposed I should be disciplined and do more. I should really go back to the video stuff. I feel slightly guilty indulging in books and movies and whatever as much as I have, but...what else can I do? I'm just waiting things out...
Everything is just...on pause. I guess I'm on vacation. Hey, it could be a lot, lot worse, I'm not complaining!
