last day of a long weekend
Oct. 6th, 2025 03:26 pmSo nice not to have to get up and work this morning. But then I slept in---which was needed to get to some REM---oh, the REM on days off in a row---but has left me with not a lot of this last outright not October day before I have to go to chorus, which is always a bummer on Mondays I have off. Like, that's like a regular Monday thing, not a I-have-today-off-thing.
Suppose I got a bonus, though, in skipping recovery Saturday, as it was going be a business meeting, and the business has fallen too much to me of late. No meeting should rely too mucn on one person, right? Right. But that meant more sleeping in, and, sure nuff, not only have I not enacted the idea I thought of the other day of seeing every sunset AND sunrise for a fortnight, but I'm much closer to seeing sunrises from still being awake.
TikTok has been showing me a lot of folks opining in the opposite of fandom about the new Taylor Swift record in a way that's a little encouraging. I mean it's a small slice of folks I see there talking class consciousness, but it's hard not to see its not landing as a sign of --- well. I guess I won't start going on about that. Just as good and maybe better are the songs about the record, my favorite beign a collection of guesses of what the songs would be, before it came out, based on the titles.
I also like the announcement of a website by which one can watch TikTok videos without signing in, by putting "see" in front of the URLs, in some way. Not that I've tested it. I just like it. I mean, I've not heard the Taylor Swift record either, and could only sing ya parts of 2 of her songs (the shaking it off one and the one we did in chorus with never ever ever getting back together). I dunno. Shoulda gotten up and moving rather than TikTokking my way awake, but it's a sloggy day, and my stomach kinda hurts.
Got on the computer to write the gardener fence people, which I've been putitng off. If I do that, I can then feel good about going out to clean the car out, including washing the inside of the windshield. Or not doing that. Cuz the writing that person is the only really-wanna-finish-it chore today. Sure, I'd like to get the trash bins in. Knees are getting pretty bad, a few weeks now until the next shot, though, so there's the disincentive of the pain of it. And I want to go to chorus, which always seems like a chore.
Really, I could do with a nap. Ha.
When the sun goes down, though, it'll be another story. And there'll be baseball to watch, while playing baseball on my phone. You know, after chorus.
Grace, grant me the desire to go to bed before everyone else in the neighborhood's been asleep for several hours. But not by doing that brutal sleep deprivation thing the insomnia clinic teaches.
