In one of the weirder side effects of a pandemic, the rule that almost every guy learns through osmosis is no longer a suggestion. Plus I wanted to draw the shining bathroom, toilets are hard and I gave up.
My plan was to be done at 8. Dilly however did not want to go to sleep. It is now 12:30, this is just awesome.
Someday in the future I may feel comfortable just putzin around in Target again. For now I haven’t left the apartment in 3 months. I never realized how much I enjoyed mindless consumerism. I need a hobby that’s not buying new games.
There are a handful of summer movies and shows I re-watch regularly each year. I reserve Maximum Overdrive, Shawshank Redemption, and True Detective for those hottestdays of the year. There are rather a lot of those living in a desert so I just have them on repeat.
As a kid I don’t remember the Dr. Suess books to be all that long. Reading them now to Dilly at night I realized they are entirely as long as the Wheel of Time. Now Dilly just asks if I like green eggs and ham on things all day. She does not however do it in any order pertaining to the book, she just turns her sails to whatever catches her gales of laughter the best.
The biggest downside to living at an apartment is that I have no where to do car repairs. I say that like I would actually do them but I have about as much time to do car repairs as I do to learn how many steps it takes to crabwalk around our building which is precisely, but not quite, zero. This should be noted is a much smaller number than the repair bill actually cost.
During another double booked weekend our vehicle decided to overheat. The coolant looked low so I went into the Walmart I was sitting at while it cooled. I haven’t been anywhere in a month and the first place I go into is a Walmart. I was as pleased as the sack of potatoes thrown into the cabinet to be forgotten about.
Sometimes life gets in the way. Now there is another long weekend ahead of me. Joy.
All the projects came to a head finally. It’s always a weird empty feeling as the stress all disappears like the storm at the end of twister. I think I’m going to watch twister again now. The movie where you recognize everyone but don’t know any names.
Not only is this project taking up time, regular work has picked back up. The covid stress hasn’t gone away so now its just anxiety all the way down.
