Worms and Guitar Strings
Now that I'm retired (as if) Friday's are my free days. That'll likely change, as I get more hours with the production company and hopefully another job, but for now I have Fridays off. Its pretty great. Last Friday I was super productive, did loads of laundry and cleaning. Today, less so. I've read, I checked out an e-book from Montgomery County library, I read some more, I fed the worms, I washed some dishes, did a load of laundry, read some more... I've spent a lot of today on the couch, is what I'm getting at, and its been pretty great. I guess I feel a little guilty for not going to the gym, but whatever. I can miss a day.
So let's see. Keeping mostly up with my book a week goal. Trying to, at least. On the plus side, I'm reading a lot more. On the minus side, finding new stuff to read has been a bit difficult. But I got a lot of good recs today, put some of those recs on hold through the e-book library, and managed to borrow a book called "Enchantment" which is a fictional story about Rasputin's daughters after his death. Good so far. We'll see how it goes!
GOT THE WORMS! They came yesterday, we had everything ready for them, just had to wet down their bedding so they could burrow and be all happy. I've put some food scraps in there, strawberries and bread and coffee grinds. Hope they like them! I need to leave them alone for a day or two, then give them more food. And basically rotate where I put the food so that they spread all over the container. Then when I'm ready to collect the castings, push all the current bedding to one side, put fresh stuff on the other along with fresh food, and they'll all move over there! Leaving lovely nutrient rich worm poo for me to put on my plants.
Restrung my guitar today. Broke a string over the winter, and hadn't gotten around to replacing it. So I did today, restrung it and tuned it up properly. And then practiced. Oh man. I need to not abandon the guitar for months, because when I go back to it, my fingers KILL me. They're gonna be sore and red for a day or two, and then I'll do it all again. Hooray!
Tomorrow doing a volunteer thing in the morning, the Rock Creek Extreme CleanUp. Then brunch with my love, then shopping for bridesmaid dresses with my M.O.H. Yeah, I've been on some wedding websites. Whatever. I just want to see the colors in person, pick one or two, and tell the ladies to buy a dress in one of those colors that makes them happy. And then there'll be one more thing I can check off the ludicrous list!
And that's it!
