It began at 5:00am, and ended with the kids going to bed around 11:00pm after the town fireworks were delayed beginning until almost 10:00pm. It was hot, and sweaty, and expensive, and disjointed. A bit too hard going to be a manageable pace to maintain all summer long. It was Canada Day, so a bit of grace shall be given. Next up, after lazy sunday, is Domestic Duties Monday, with laundry, dishes, grocery shopping, sweeping, vacuuming & mopping the floors, cleaning the sink and kitchen counters, cleaning the bathrooms, and a general tidy up of our main living spaces (work schedule permitting). They can either help me, or go find something to do for 2-3 hours so as not to interfere with my progress.
Which reminds me, I need to run a few errands today. I think some places will make Monday a holiday since July 1st was a Saturday. Might have to bump some items to Tuesday if that is the case. Either way, I’m sure that today is Sunday. I was under the impression the weather was to turn stormy today, and I was going to kill some time this afternoon taking the kids to a movie. But if it’s not raining we can be outside instead.
The humidity settled in from out of nowhere yesterday. While we sat in the grass watching a formerly famous clown, the sweat was just rolling down my back, and soaking through my t-shirt. No shade was provided near the children’s programming section. Could have done with getting hosed down every do often. The grass made me itch, and the sticky heat didn’t make me very receptive to the comedy stylings of Doo-Doo the clown, “The clown from Billy Madison”. That’s his claim to fame apparently. He was ok. Needs a better sound tech, as his mic’s eq levels were ear splittingly loud.
Part of the errands I need to run are picking up a new desk calendar for 2023, and a new day planner, printer ink for my Canon, and possibly a new office chair, as my current one gives me leg cramps for some reason. I can’t blame it, the chair was free. I dug it out of the trash pile at the Guelph Mercury sometime around 2007/2008, so it doesn’t owe me anything. Except for the whole leg cramp thing, that sucks, and I hate sitting for long periods of time. Makes doing precision work that much more challenging. Would prefer to eliminate that particular obstacle. I guess it will depend on how expensive the office chairs are. I do tend towards cheapskatedness when confronted with spending more than I had been planning on. Is that a moral failing, or an adherence to my budget requirements? Hard to tell.
