Yesterday my big accomplishment was finally getting the gate put up to completely enclose my front porch. It's latticed all around now, about five feet high, and looks great, and already two cats have tried and failed to get out of the now-fenced porch. If they spent much time out there, they might learn that they could jump that fence, but they aren't gonna spend time out there. That fence is just to corral them when they slip out past my legs when the door is open. No more chasing escaped cats! No more worrying they're going to get hurt or die if I can't catch them.
Today's accomplishments have been less impressive. Laundry done, dishes washed, plane ticket bought for the upcoming business trip, a couple of fret-inducing decisions made. An excursion on the treadmill is soon to come. I have to ride on a small narrow-seated place in three weeks, and I'd dearly love to drop a dress size by then. Stupid tiny planes. I hate everything about flying except the actual flying.
That sounds delicious, Kat. I should make a plan to see you and return your coat, btw. Right now work + life is kicking my ass, or at least it feels that way. When did I become such a delicate flower? I used to be better at toughing out the rough spots.
FUCK DST. It is not 12:42pm, it is 11:42am, and my body refuses to believe otherwise.
I have emptied the small cabinet that had all my spices and other baking type things. Half of that is packed. Also cleaned my bathroom which is down to just basic hygiene stuff and makeup. I need to do a lot more in the kitchen but my hips are uber unhappy with me. Taking another break instead.
It's fairly spring-like here. I've done a bunch of garden prep work, cleaned the tub, washed the shower curtain, done about half my laundry, started a load of dishes, and gone for a nice walk. While I'm not looking forward to hearing my alarm clock tomorrow, I am looking forward to having more time for walking in the evening.
Oops. Ten minutes late for the afternoon preview of the show I'm designing. I've decided to use act 1 to get lunch. I'll see act 2.
I hate to do a DST whine. But I am going to. DST on both ends really mess up my internal clocks. For years I would have a good sense of time, just from knowing the position of the sun (living in a non-DST state did this). This fucks with all of that and it takes me FOREVER to get used to it. Took me until December to get used to the Fall Back. Will it be July when I am used to the Spring Forward?
All y'all need to move to Arizona! Since Indiana fell, we are the last remaining continental bastion of pure time.
I'm still disappointed in Indiana, even if it does make it easier to remember what time I'm calling my parents at.
Since I'm on vacation I cannot complain about DST in the "springing forward" way, but I can complain that Mexico apparently has a different DST than the US? So I was in Central time but now I'm in Mountain time? Or something? I'm not even sure--I'm just hoping I show up at the right time to the airport on Wednesday!!
(So far today I showered, read the internet, ate breakfast, laid out by the pool, and am now back and eating some lunch. I'm telling myself this evening I should go out to get a real meal, but all the restaurants are horrid tourist traps (which is why I ate street tacos the past two nights--11 pesos/taco, which is about $1). Also I need to either change money or hit the ATM again, and I don't really want to do either, but know I need to...
