So, I’m Thinking Of A New Life Rule

Posted on by

When I make a “pit stop,” I tend to take my Nexus 7 along with me and spend way too much time “sitting” there catching up on Tumblr. Yep, mostly Tumblr. Way long after I’m finished my “business;” if you know what I mean. I have permanent elbow marks on the tops of my knees.

Then, when I go to bed I’ll spend about half an hour on G+ catching up. Then another half hour on Facebook, catching up. Then finish out with Tumblr again. Just catching up you know. By that time I’m ready to go to sleep. Usually.

I never just read anymore. Which I miss. So I think I’m going to make a rule that I catch up on G+ & FB during my morning absolutions. Then, at bedtime, I can catch up on Tumblr for half an hour  before delving into the latest book I’m reading. Actually doing this is going to be the problem though. I’m a renowned procrastinator.

Not much going on today. Raining out most of the day so we’re pretty much stuck inside unless we want to pile on the clothes and rain gear. Which I don’t. So I’ve been “doing things” around the house and in my room to get ready to spray paint. Need to make a trip to Home Depot for some paint sometime soon. And my counter tops. And some 2X4’s.

Oh, something y’all should remember:

  • A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
  • A robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
  • A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law

Just in case y’all forgot. Too bad we can’t apply these rules to our Politicians. Suitably modified, of course.

Wow! What A Normal Tuesday!

So it’ll be a short post tonight. Lucky You!

Made a run to the bank. Stopped by ACE Hardware on the way back and got some plastic sheeting and painter’s tape to start working on my room. No mail today. Took Dog for a walk around the back 40. Ate another cold turkey sandwich. Covered the windows in my room with plastic.

My day. Ah, my day. Beats the alternative though. And these boring days won’t last much longer if I’d just get off my ass. Getting the plastic on the windows is a start. I really do have a lot of things I can/could do around the house on those rainy or cold days that I don’t want to get outside. I just need to get off my old ass and get it all started.

But, oh my, I like Summer so much better. If I am not going to do anything, I’d so much rather not do it outside on a nice, hot, day.

Made myself a crispy tilapia & bagel sandwich, and some corn, for dinner tonight cause I’m (temporarily!) sick of Turkey. It was good. Watching a Nova show about Landslides where they covered the Oso landslide last year.

Yeah, Pretty Much SSDD. Again.

Damn! How many times have I used that “headline?” How many more times will I use it in the years to come? Could this be one of the reason’s people just click through my blog instead of delving into my in-depth presentation of my normal, every day, boring, life? Who cares! I’m not posting “for them” anyway!

My lovely, young, bride asked me the other day why I post here. My life is more extra ordinary instead of extraordinary.  I mean, the highlight of my day was making a run into town to the Vape Shop for some new atty’s. The Renter’s paying their rent for December. The Cold Turkey sandwich I had for a late lunch. (And will probably have for dinner. Someone needs to eat up all that left over turkey!)

But other than that I just plain could not say why I post here.  Maybe to share how most American’s really live (day to day)? To practice my writing skills? Doubtful. To make y’all as bored as I can be sometimes? Possibly. Doubtful though.

So, I’m just not going to worry on it. IF I was one of those that needs “followers,” someone hanging on every word I utter, people to tell me how “wonderful” I am, then this blog would be a constant bummer. Few “followers.” Very few comments. Few people that really care about my (boring) life beyond SWMBO and my dead parents. And it just doesn’t matter to me. Really.

I do this because I enjoy doing it. That’s all the reason I need.

Not much else going on. Went out and fixed my new antenna. COLD out there! Everything in the shade is still frosty. All free-standing water is free-standing ice. Sucks! I just plain out miss summer.

And that’s it again. I got to pick SWMBO up at the Ferry Landing tonight; two trips to Bremerton in one day is enough. Almost time to take this old guy to bed.
