What Are You Doing?

I'm reading posts on here and nursing a painful back.

How's everyone else's day going so far?

 

Day's going well so far. Very quiet. Little one is binge watching Brave Wilderness while eating red grapes and my lazy ass is riding the rocking chair. Just staring out the window while the spread open book on my knee begs to be read.

Keep begging, book. Two squirrels are fighting each other on the treetops and damn it's amazing. The balance these two have. I would've died four times over.

Dunno what is for dinner, but apart of me wants pastrami, cheese, rye bread and bacon. Maybe some sauteed onions, too.

 

I cracked my knee on something and sore from moving
appliances, does that count?

My day is good so far. Got chapter 9 up to about 1830
words so far since last night.

 

Same.

 

Wondering why after a few days of being back on track I`m back to not be able to sleep. Could have something to do with not doing anything today, not tiring myself out. Debating if I can take another melatonin now and wake up at six-thirty still. Or if it matters ether way.

 

Trying desperately to motivate myself enough to go do some grocery shopping.

Back to work tomorrow. I'm so depressed!

 

Debating on whether I want to get up yet or stay lying down a little while longer. I switched the mattresses so now I'm using the better one in my room and I love my bed now. So comfy and happy.

 

I am writing again. A character driven story, but I'm trying to spread the writing elements pretty evenly this time. Use more of the setting and description in an advantageous manner rather than letting it fall far behind.

 

There's a couple of blackbirds that live somewhere in my garden. Today three magpies tried killing Mrs.Blackbird as her husband sat on the fence and shouted at them, helpless. I shooed them off but she was pretty beaten up, so i put her in an open box with some birdfeed and water, and put her in the garage to see if she recovers. I just checked on her after 5-6 hours, and she's actually still alive and sat upright in her box. She even twitched her head - so good sign!

I knew magpies liked scavenging and eating the corpses of other birds, as if they were vultures, but I never knew they out and out grouped up and tried to kill smaller birds for food before. They were pretty effing vicious, so much so Mrs.Blackbird still might not recover, but at least if she does die she'll die peacefully and quietly. The sad thing is seeing Mr.Blackbird looking around the garden for her. I can't leave the garage door open, because the magpies have also been intermittently popping by and trying to find her.

I've still got hope. I remember once, aaaaages ago, when I was a kid, my canary got out, and my little cat leapt a full meter and a half into the air and caught him mid-flight in his mouth, I had to strangle the little bugger to the bone of his throat before he let the canary go (i swear, his eyes were rolling, he was ready to pass out rather than let go! Catching the canary had been his life-long dream.) I thought the canary was dead for sure, I couldn't feel any signs of life but a shiver. So I put him back in his cage. He stayed rigid for a full 6-7 hours, not moving, so we went to bed and thought he'd be cold when we woke up in the morning. Next morning? Sing sing sing, up on his perch like nothing had happened.
Birds seem to go into a coma when scared out of their wits, so I'm hoping Mrs.Blackbird is just still suffering from shock, rather than being unable to move due to any injury.

 

Trying to teach my mother how YouTube works. Give me patience....

Least the sofa is comfy. Just need a blanket.

 

Me & @arron been busy during the banning order. ‘Can’t touch me, copper,’ he motioned. And I too, & I & I we three captured him on film during his subsequent glorious leap of faith.


text post. Damn ‘video unavailable.’ It’s a Durdle Door leap from year 2000 set to music.

 

Waking up edging towards the afternoon after my sleep routine got thrown off again and getting distracted by music once again. My mental health has been edging onto a better spot, been having a little more routine lately and getting the mundane things done now. Still, nothing other then that is getting done, and with everything going on in the world just feeling...restless...among other things. We`re in July already, I don't even know mine...just gonna try...for something. Should get up, pick up, and see what I cant get done today. Just get started.

Good luck my friend, we go into green this week but the hotels still shut for lack of business.

 

Looking at savings accounts. What I have learnt so far is that all the Northern Ireland savings rate are so small, they're almost invisible. Less than 1%, in fact. I just wish I was joking.

 

I almost regretted posting about my bird story, thinking what a downer it would be to report back on Mrs.Blackbird if she died.
But, HAPPY ENDING, time!
Just like my canary all those years ago, I opened the garage door this morning to find her not only up, but sitting on my workbench looking out of the window. It didn't take her long to fly out, either. Considering how utterly destroyed some of her feathers looked, how ruffled the rest were, and how half-dead she looked yesterday, I was dreading opening the door to check on her. But she had cleaned herself up, all the feathers were back in place, not a drop of blood in the box and she was off; flying so well that at least now she'll have a chance fleeing those magpies in future.

I can safely call that my good deed for the week, nay, the month!
*Pats himself on the back*

 

Feeling on top of the fucking world. Hell yeah! Finally did what I needed to do. Might write a blog post on it cause that last one was rather gloomy.

That aside, the apparent Lord and Savior, the NYC Gov, is going to force a curfew. The dumb fuck. Let's oppress a group of angry individuals with more policing. That's going to be perfect...

But ya know what? To hell with that right now. I'm feeling like my old self again, woot!

 

Fixed a box fan, and how glorious it is to have a working fan in 90+ degree heat.

 

Mine just broke last night. Had the plastic shit for three years though, so that's something else. Hopefully an electronics store of some kind opens up round here....

On topic: Woke up before the sun. Gonna be a great day.

Had coffee for the first time in a long time and even went on a slow jog around the local park. Leg hurts a tiny bit, but all is well. Speaking of hurt, my face is sore from yesterdays brawl, but the lack of swelling shows how weak my little cousin really is, heh.

On the menu today is.....part 2 of yesterdays plan. Have to shave off this muskrat on my face beforehand.

I know times are hard right now, but have a good day, folks.

 

Finishing off my take away pizza from last night whilst watching The Bourne Ultimatum. Good times.

 

I was going to wash dishes this morning but it's primary election day so I'm going to go see about voting. Who knows if I actually matter? I just want it to be better for everyone.

 

Looking behind to see if I can spot the point of no return. We were going so fast, I missed it.

 

I can't comment here.

 

Glad to hear you're feeling like yourself again friend. Stay safe out there in the city.

Same....just same....


The only elections here for my party that has more than one person running is auditor general.... I`m torn between two people there....out of six.

 

trying not to fall into depression....
