One thing done, one thing fun, two things run and background sun.

Life is simpler after the war.

My beloved label maker has stopped functioning. Time to say goodbye. Goodbye.

More and more I deal with loss. But gain is there too. Wobbly and uneven, but there.

There's a long weekend coming up and I have no plans. Walking as usual. Maybe breakfast with the boys on Saturday. I really should clean the house a little. Do some yard work. The mundane can be grounding.

I made some pancakes last night. I put in too much milk because I can't read directions so they came out more like crepes. They still tasted good, but they were not what I intended.

It rained and stormed and was generally moody last night. It was pleasant. The bamboo got a little extra water and the pups got to bark at the thunder and then run inside when the thunder barked back.

Sometimes it's hard to figure out if you're growing stronger or weaker. Exercise and then the next day the pain is there. There's a point in which pushing yourself does more harm than good. Not enough recovery time perhaps. Change, adapt, overcome. Or, keep doing the same thing and hope for some internal, previously secret ability manifests at the last moment.

I don't take anything, not even aspirin. Maybe I should take one today.

Everything matters, surely. Not everything matters the same?  Hmm...

There is much to do. Water the bamboo. Walk. Book a flight. Make a sandwich.

Oh dang I forgot to buy garlic at the store. Noooooo...

My life is not hard. I'll just get some later.

I've been feeling very distracted. More so than normal. What am I not doing that I should be doing? 

Probably a few things.

Oh yeah eye exam. 

Need to see to do most things I do. 

Yesterday was good. I walked and talked, and ate a lot of beans and rice. Watered the bamboo, played with the pups. Thought about vacuuming. Didn't.

I dreamed of the family dog, El Guapo, aka The Noobers. He was climbing in a dog-sized hamster tube. Pretty unusual for him, even in dreams. Usually he's just noobing around.

I've got a wedding coming up! Very exciting. Get to wear a tuxedo.

I should practice my impromptu speech-giving.

"Webster's Dictionary defines 'unprepared' as..."

I've been meeting people on Twitch and it's been fun. And yet, I am wary. 

Oh shoot I gotta pay bills. I'll be back.
