scrubjayspeaksMore furniture moving at work. Big things are happening, which is prompting a bunch of structural changes. Remodels, equipment moves, repairs. Oh, and the weather caused a bunch of power issues, which fried various pieces of equipment. And in a completely unrelated event, a water pipe got broken and flooded part of the building, so now all that has to be repaired on a tight turnaround. I’m staring down the barrel of Saturday overtime for a while to get things done by the deadline.
Meanwhile, both the vehicles are due for smog tests, so we planned to rotate them through the mechanic’s shop over the next couple of weeks. Only mum’s truck had more issues than expected and wasn’t ready when we planned to pick it up. So she’s spiraling about that, and I’m spiraling about her.
The first flowers (daffodils and wind flowers) are blooming in the castle garden. Between the torrential rain and the freezing nights, spring is sneaking up on us.
Lewisia: 3 new pieces written
Day job: 42.5 hours
Cleaning: tub, bathroom sink, mirrors
Crafting: collected up and measured all prints that need to be framed and hung
Reading: The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy: Hexagonal Phase (the last of the BBC radio productions, more coherent than the last one was at least)
Watching: The X-Files season one, episodes 1 to 7 (why did I feel compelled to try to work through this series from the start for the first time, having only seen scattered episodes from weekend syndication in the 90s and a few streamed in the last decade? idk, man, I’m just trying to cope)
Listening: DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS by Bad Bunny (I am not immune to the occasional Superbowl halftime show, incredibly enjoyable music whether one understands the language or not)
Clock Mouse: 97 minutes of planning work
