    So yesterday I was running late for work, turned a corner and put out for hard rubbish was…

    I couldn’t believe my luck; half deflated tyres, rusty as hell but with perfect working brakes and no spiders under the seat, I thought “you’ll do me!” I rode it carefully the rest of the way to work. Well, I’ve kinda fallen in love.

    Today I bought a helmet and lock. She’s perfect: not so grand she’s a target for thieves, grand enough for me to ride to work.

    Today I rode her home to begin a new life with me, and it felt good.

    Edit: please ignore my shitty side way garden.

      That’s a nice find. Mudguards, basket, rear rack and chain guard are all premium additions. Those twist gears are a bit shit in my experience.

    Ugh… I keep tasting bitter traces of detergent because I did a really hurried job of re-rinsing the dishes. Also went back to using paper bowls to feed the cat on difficult days because the mini dishwasher is such a stuff around.

    I think I’m going to hand wash a few cups and her bowls because I’m tired of drinking soap. Hate this damn thing. I need it for the washing part but on the whole it really isn’t making things much simpler.

    Edit: Fuck it, rewashing everything by hand

    Pizza was the better choice. I forget how shit KFC makes me feel the next day despite how tasty it is in the moment.

    In other news, pretty much disconnected from everyone at work. I check the laptop a couple of times a day.

    I really will miss these people but the situation was untenable.

    I feel very unproductive though, which I dislike. Have been doing gym every day, plus guitar etc.

    I think I actually miss work.

    Overcome by yet another overwhelming wave of lethargy and sleep and needed to doze off for an hour there. This isn’t good it’s definitely a slide into the ol depresso funtimes. I can see myself trying to block out the huge cloud of sad/bad by just sleeping instead of doing anything …

    I am going to hit the pavement tomorrow, Saturday and maybe even Sunday if the weather’s right, to get the west side data all collected, especially as now I really can only get data between about 10 and 2. Which is good in a way because fuck traffic and fuck getting overheated/dehydrated again during long days. But it means I might have to redo some my previous data… sigh… anyway I just need to get my head down, bum up, and go for it

    I don’t want to say too much but lately my kid has been helping me obtain cookbooks, movies and tv series 😉 and I am in my glee. Finally she’s earning her keep.

    New season of Daredevil is pretty good. Slow start, but they’re building it up to something big.

    D’onofrio as Fisk is still great.

      That’s good to hear. He was amazing last time. I am really looking forward to seeing the dynamic after all this time.I was planning to wait for a few episodes to drop but I suspect I am going to have to just start watching this weekend to avoid spoilers.

    I’ve not managed to achieve anything since lunchtime because the entire tech ecosystem my job relies on is melting down.

    On the other hand I did manage to make happy noises at a co-worker’s dachshund puppy over webcam…so it is not a complete loss

      Pizza

      . You’re going to feel real bad after KFC as tempting as it is.

      Pizza. You’ve potentially got the five food groups in one delicious serving. As far as “junk food” goes it’s not so bad. I reckon KFC would have a lot more nasties than a pizza. Having an awesome pizza place nearby is gold! Also to feed my family KFC ($70 to $85) costs more than pizza ($51).

      Where’s the pizza from? KFC can be so hit or miss. When it’s good it’s excellent though.

      It’s a bit humid, however nowhere close in temperature.

      Perhaps you’re having a moment?
