Do's and Dont's
Jul. 25th, 2021 06:17 pmDid's or Didnt's, more to the point. After all we did yesterday progressing The Project, we both needed to dial it down, on a day with many opportunities to go to eleven. For the most part, we did- or, rather, didn't- do exactly that.
* Did sleep in. For me, anyway. Made it past eight for the first time in weeks, and achieved that by getting back to sleep after doing the morning feeding around 6. Only down of that was the dreams in those final houry times were intense, weird and unpleasant. Makes waking up easier, though.
* Didn't do anything else to progress the reno. Well, other than cleaning the two mirrors in there which were under tarps, and Eleanor deciding to rearrange furniture in one other room, and me trying to help find her tape measure to assist with that. Compared to yesterday, that was nuthin.
* Did stick to going to a workout. I would never have booked a class for 10:30 this morning if I'd known what we'd been doing the day before.But it was too late to cancel and I’m too cheap to not do something I’ve paid for, so I plodded through. The morning's coach was inspiring as always, and other than me still hating mini-bands with the heat of 1,000 suns, it was a good, fun mix. I will not be taking the "benchmark" opportunity to row 2,000 meters tomorrow, though.
* Didn't go out of town. Friends in Rochester held their 10th almost-annual "deck party" that is probably still going on now. Pepper and I came to the 8th and 9th, in 2018 and 2019, and I had every intention of taking her today as well after last year's needed COVID cancellation. I just couldn't bear the idea of three hours in the car after still being sore from yesterday; the workout didn't make any of it worse, but that drive almost certainly would have. They've been inviting local comics to "pop-up stand-up" in that same yard, and I will try to make one of those instead.
* Did listen to a nice Mets win. Most of it, anyway. Our former hometown Blue Jays are on the road until returning home at the end of this week- all tickets up there have been sold in a Toronto minute- and they began their swing in Queens in front of many friends. It was a tight game, but we pulled it oot.
* Didn't finish the Annie Murphy "Kevin" series. Tried. The penultimate episode suggested an ending that quickly got called into question within moments of the final one beginning. I got about halfway through before realizing that I'm just watching it to watch it. Her performance, and that of her female co-star, are excellent, but just about every male in the cast is playing someone who makes my skin crawl for one reason or another. I will likely knock off the remaining 24 minutes, mainly because I have to cancel the trial of AMC+ before it becomes expensive next week. However, if it doesn't resolve in some really satisfactory way, I will not be returning for another season.
* Did post. Duh.
