Nosce te ipsum

It turns out that I begin to go slightly mad after a little less than two months of having nothing constructive or stimulating to do. I pace restlessly, change music mid song - perpetually unsatisfied with what's playing, and feel claustrophobic no matter my surroundings. It's more than everyday restlessness. Or maybe not...I need to get out of

I used to feel restless, but I got over it. Now I can pass whole decades without doing much.

Here's what I did today/am doing now:
Wrote applications for my company to win two Techne Awards
Ate salad in the woods near my work while listening to the podcasts, Skeptoid, and Pseudopod.
Skipped out early and drove the scooter home past the rebuilding of the collapsed 35W bridge, which is now almost meeting in the middle.
Cleaned out my clothes closest and did two loads of laundry while listening to the audiobook, "Memo to the President Elect" by Madeline Albright.
Paused to admire my second batch of wine, which is clearing nicely.
Sorted out recycling and ran the dishwasher
Carried up several buckets of gray water
Checked my e-mail
Poured myself a glass of wine
Browsed LJ.

This wine making endeavor of your interests me greatly. Not just because I'm a wino either. Crafting purchasable items is an excellent pursuit of time.

Yes - home brewing is pretty fun. My first batch will be one month old and ready for first tasting next weekend. Here's a link to the kit I bought. My first two batches were from Winexpert juice kits. My plan for this weekend is to get some fresh strawberries and starting another batch of country wine.
