Month: March 2024

Fri. Mar. 1, 2024 – I have a birthday this month, among other things…

Cool, damp or even wet, and windy today. We did get a bit of rain late in the day yesterday, but it really depended on where you were in town. I got some at the secondary, but not at home.

I was still sore, and stiff, and it’s surprisingly hard to be productive under those conditions. I did get a pickup done, a visit to the chiropractor, and my kid chauffeur duties taken care of. I feel like that was very little, but it was something and got me out of the house. Obviously my plan for the week went to heII early on.

Getting old, 3 of 5 stars, cannot recommend.

It’s been a while since I was this busted up for this long and I don’t like it. No sir, I don’t. I guess I’ll have to start actively fighting the entropy instead of thinking normal life activities are enough. Like I need more to do…

Speaking of which, we’ll see what I get done today, but tomorrow’s hamfest might be less than I had hoped. If I move some of this stuff it’ll be a win, but I’ll still feel like I could have done more. Can’t do everything, and sometimes real life gets in the way of hobbies. And it is a hobby, not life or death.

Speaking of hobbies, I’m fumbling my way around wordpress, and I have more admiration for Rick than ever. F-me, I really don’t like feeling this new and out of my depth. Meatspace. Obligations. Volunteering for my fellow enthusiasts. Joy. I thank a merciful deity that Rick is here to do the ‘under the hood’ stuff. Yapping is easy. Keeping the lights on is harder. Thank you Rick. And also thanks to Barbara, who continues to see value in it.

I’m out in the world today and tomorrow, and doing battle on more than one front. Both of which are HOBBIES. Need to remind myself of that. Valuable nonetheless, but still secondary to family and self.

Stretch out some mental or actual muscles. You might regret it, but you will learn some things.

(and stack, the world isn’t getting any less crazy.)
