Now I wouldn’t say “going strong”, but rather – still going. Not with a cheer but under a groan. Almost 1/3 of a year extra over and above my writing every day challenge. More of a compulsion now than a desire to leave any type of wisdom with the world at large. I did think that Covid might stop me in my tracks and end this writing streak, but I managed. Even when my brain was screaming in pain, and my eyes felt as though they both went out of round, I persisted. Not for fanfare or acclaim, but to remind myself how terrible it was if I should ever feel the need to want to eat indoors anywhere anytime soon. In red flaming, blazing letters it reads- Covid sucks, don’t fucking do it! A love letter to myself written in pain and neurological anguish & distress. I fear to know the true extent of the internal damage. A five day headache, with eye pain, brain fog and such can not be good for the human brain, especially not this particular humans brain at that. I shiver at the thought of the damage left behind.
Is it any wonder that car accidents, and general behavioural issues are on the rise? Scrambled brains, and repeat infections is doing more than we care to think about with any kind of critical eye. Astounding. But I digress. Eleven days of this, and I’m bored. New topics!!!
Made it to Friday. All in all a fulfilling week with new projects, and a few older ones that resurfaced. It’s all good. I have put some effort into getting my tax details in order. I have it all gathered up, and now I just need to put excel to work, and get those columns filled in – again.
The children have birthday parties to attend this weekend. So will I get some time to putter around outdoors to begin the long process of spring clean up? No. Doubtful. They are calling for freezing rain, so it’ll be me walking the kids to & from these local events to avoid all the crazies on the roads. Would be my guess for how everything is going to go.
Oh right. I managed to pick up my latest Mo Hayder book “Ritual”, and start reading again. Had nearly two full weeks off while my brain was melting. I do enjoy her stuff. Very creepy. Very atmospheric. British too. That will make eleven of twelve completed. And then back to one more Richard Morgan book, called “The steel remains”, and that gives me all twelve, cover to cover, and my reading challenge for the year completed successfully. I will add more once I finish these last two books. I have been eyeing up the newest Don Winslow release, and also a book called “The Terraformers”. They both sounds really enjoyable. For very different reasons at that.
Went to Canadian tire today for water softener salt, and to look around. Saw an ad yesterday saying they had a 26G air compressor for $299.00 but when I got there, all the 26G compressors were $400.00 or more. I want an increased capacity compressor but not for that much. Plus I would need a new 50′ hose, quick connect adapters, and a hose reel, and possibly a spray gun, and before you know it that’s like several additional hundreds of dollars. Perhaps after tax time if I don’t get raked over the coals. Or if I pick up some additional work this summer. Anyway. Take care. All the best out there. Ciao Bella!
