Monday Weekend Ender

It was a very nice weekend. Friday, quiet at home, Saturday, Street Food Fest, which was very nice, better than previous years. Sunday morning was rainy, and I had breakfast with Miriam, one of my favorite people on earth.

Above is “Toast” with bananas and strawberries, blueberries and chocolate.

It was sunny in the early afternoon and I got a lot of pressure washing done before it started majorly thunderstorming. It’s quite busy out there…

Happy Monday and have a good week!

Writing Prompt

Found this on Twitter. It might be fun to write about! 5 pages by hand in pen?

Stayed up late last night, tired this morning. Late leaving home for work, late posting my post.

Very happy and content.

Have a great day!

WiFi Without Internet

on my phone, and probably yours, there’s a Wi-Fi connection and a cellular data connection of your internet service.

What grinds my gears, is that if my phone is connected to a Wi-Fi signal, and there’s no internet on that Wi-Fi, then my phone won’t automatically use the cellular data connection to access the internet. The internetless Wi-Fi effectively prevents internet access.

I have to turn off the Wi-Fi to access the internet, and then remember to turn wi-fi back on again. Pain in thee butt.

And that’s my daily whining and moa ING for today!

Have a Wonderful Wednesday!

Fairy Tale

I’m currently reading Fairy Tale, by Stephen King. It’s in the “I can’t put it down” category.

Charlie Reade, high school jock, saves an old man and ends up caring for him and his dog. Discovers gateway to another world.

I’m about one third of the way through, it’s recommended reading by me. Quite good.

Have a great day!

Monday Upload

Another Monday today. It was a productive weekend. I did a LOT of pressure washing on my sundeck-roof. Had a contractor come and he’s giving me a quote to tile. So hopefully no more pressure washing and painting. Less maintenance. It’s a lot more work than I expected. I’m just over half way.

i did go diving yesterday morning, as you can deduce from the photos!

Have a great week!

Morning Toothbrushing

Morning toothbrushing, when do you do it? It seems hard for me to find the correct time, logically. Do I do it when I first wake up? I just brushed my teeth before bed, I haven’t eaten or drank anything since I brushed my teeth. I’m ready to go eat breakfast and drink coffee.

Do I do it before I leave for work? Halfway through my first cup of coffee? And then go to work and drink more coffee?

There seems to be no really good time for morning toothbrushing.

When do you brush your teeth in the morning? These things keep me awake at night.

Have a fantastic day!

Cotton Bedsheets

I’ve been a world class insomniac for a few years now. I lay in bed thinking “this is incredibly uncomfortable*, but at the same time, unable to pinpoint any discomfort.

After a while, I realized I was burning up and freezing at the same time. I was hot, and clammy with sweat, but the sweat felt like a thin layer of ice over my whole body. Under a sheet, melting hot, no sheet, icy freezingness.

It occurred to me to check my sheets. I thought all sheets (except silk) were 100% cotton. No, mine were part plastic, some material I can’t remember the name of now. So I got some 100% cotton sheets, and it seems to make a difference. No more frozen fire sensation. Of course, we’re still in the testing phase.

Now if I could just get these dawgs to let me sleep!

Happy Hump Day!

Zoom Workers, Back To The Office!

Zoom, the company that makes it possible for you to work from home, has just now ordered its staff back to the office. Read the article here.

I find it amazing that people are still working from home, leftover from the covid days. I think I missed three days waiting for my letter stating that I was an essential employee, and never got to work from home. It would be nice to be able to work from home, but the concept still seems alien to me.

In fact, I’m heading out to work right now, in person!
