What Are You Doing?

That's, like, five meals in one

 

Love shepherd's pie.

 

All the foods!

You're welcome to join!

 

In the wake of a late breakfast (omelet with fake crabmeat and Muenster cheese), I just finished posting a question over in the Settings forum. It's time now to prep the chicken to go into the oven, so I can eat my Thanksgiving meal around 6:00.

Chicken, not turkey, because for the first time in years I'm on my own for the day. But it's a big chicken.

 

Thank you.

Your place cleans up pretty well, CT!

 

Wishing a happy thanksgiving to all or at least a peaceful one. Work went the smoothest i`ve ever seen today. So slow I feel like I got paid for looking pretty today. Came home made a little secondhand dinner and really just been watching MST3K should put my work clothes into the wash. Been taking it easy and chill for the day. Best thing about it being a holiday is no one really expects you to do anything.

Drank up the last of my soda, thought about going to the store to get more but that`s social interaction and I don`t support it. Also it`s really the last thing I need.

May everyones holiday be going well.

 

Holding up at home after spending the day at my mom's.
I think I am safe from the Black Friday Zombie hordes
out here in nowhere. Though it will be interesting to
find out how many get skinned alive for a TV this
year.
(I don't like crowds normally, and even less when they
are viciously fighting over junk they don't need.)

 

Hah! I'm forgoing the whole experience this year. I'm missing out on door-busters, it's true. But I don't have the disposable income I once had for such raw consumerism. Plus, this year, more than most years, I'm too tired for it.

Though I've often spoken about workworking jobs since buying a shitload of precision tools, I haven't done any since the illness hit me.

Spoiler: short rant...

Yesterday I planned to mow, but The Contessa started whining about her potplant signs again, thus I did a few hours of rebuilding and making new roadside signs.

My 2nd hand electric sander started smoking badly after smoothing down the heavy hardwood bases for the metal framed sign, As an ex-apprentice electrician, I could smell and see by the type of smoke, the windings burnt out, so a new one or a decent 2nd handie is on the list, or get cracking and build that bench sander.

The 2nd sign was all wood, gathered from my numerous dump scavenges.
Built a foldable A-frame, the pivot points a simple bolt setup.
Made heavy guage wire hooks for the sheetmetal signs, thus they swing freely in the wind to avoid being blown over.
The feet of the two hardwood legs cut into a point so they can dig into the soft soil for stability

Had to hit the village as my paint pen ran out, and out of three different shops, all I could get was a large permanent marker X 2.
All up, three signs on two frames, all loosely connected via wire hooks. All lettering on original signs redone.

Best part was I finally got to use me new AEG 12V cordless drill set.
I used the impact driver with the smallest battery at 60% charge. I hadn't unpacked the kit or charged any batteries since purchase.
Got some kickass torque and easily drove wood screws into the old hardwood frame.
An actual efficient and useful tool compared to hand screwing, well worth the $$.

Now quite sore, and mowing, though it should've been done a few days ago, grass is getting a tad too long for an efficent 2 hr mow, will have to wait till next tuesdee.

 

Reminded me of The Thing (1985)

Happy Turkadactylicious!

 

Hope everyone had a happy holiday

 

Yummy!

 

Wake up
Grab a brush and put a little makeup

 

I did have a good time. It was a weird holiday, but nice.
It might sound weird, but I'm looking forward to winter now. I've gotten to where I like the cold weather and I miss the snow.

I'm glad you look forward to winter.

Don't understand it...
I think I had mild hypothermia once, so maybe that's why I hate the cold so much now.
I'd been cold all day at work, then standing on a freezing train platform for a while. When I got on, the carriage was so full that it was impossible to move. This is hard to believe, but cold air was being blown from the ceiling

Some of the trains on my route have this crazy system where cold air pours out into one half of the carriage, and hot rises up from the floor in the other end of the carriage.

Stupid designers.

They'd say, Oh but you can just choose which end you'd like to sit.

Firstly, it's hard to tell when you first get on if you are in the hot or cold half. It isn't marked.

Secondly, I have so many delays and cancelled trains that at least once a week, the train is so packed that people are literally shoving their way on.

So there I was, unable to move and with a fierce air conditioning unit blasting cold down onto the top of my head.

I remember I was so mad at myself for forgetting my hat!

Felt weird and ill.

Could not get warm when I arrived home, in spite of lying in front of a radiator covered in blankets!

It was as though something had switched off and I couldn't turn it on again.

It was horrible.

 

That sounds awful. I understand that inability to get warm. My body takes a long time to convert toward or cold, anditreallysticks when it changes temp. If I'm hot, it takes forever to cool and vice versa. The best thing I found for that is water. Usually I take two showers a day in the winter in cold environments to regulate temperature better. I hate getting stuck being hot more than being stuck cold though. I have a strong aversion to sweating that trumps shivers every time.

 

Ah, thanks for the sympathy.

That's interesting. So, hot showers morning and evening. I usually shower in the evenings because it helps me to wash away the workday. It's one of my biggest pleasures in life.

I'm not sure what that says about my life

Sorry you hate to sweat

 

Twice a day, twice the enjoyment!

Not liking sweating was a bit of a difficulty in the military...

Idek anymore. Been a good week so far, but for some reason today just was one of a overtaking melancholy. That smothering feeling of unsatisfacton...sit down Mick Jager...Cured a bit by trying a new restaurant and packing a lunch for tomorrow (since they`ve started serving us spoiled food now). Was planning on writing that first Meduim story i`ve been talking about for ages today, ended up watching more MST3K and just feeling tired. I`ll put in my list of things to write next weekend already moved around my comic book shop visit to tomorrow. One thing I learned from the bullet journal method is you don`t lose a task you just keep migrating until you do. Course don`t I`ll do it tomorrow forever but it`s better then just forgetting about it. Even if I did, fail to keep up with all those bullet journals.

Just gotta get through tomorrow then three days off before two days deep cleaning. That weekend would have been Steel City Comic con but I forgot that and i`m not making the plans that last minute. Gonna try and do a push of creative juices that weekend instead. Unplug and disconnect during it. After that is a few extra days to prep for the holidays before the party at work then a few days before Christmas then it`s pretty much new years then....this is how I get myself overwhelmed.

One at a time. Holidays are what they mean to you.

Was just gonna go to bed, but then mother came in talking about her ascension beliefs stuff. Basically about how we`re in the time of revelations and we have three more years before people ascend and we pretty much all die ....unless we believe...and that she loves me and hopes that I believe in god. I never know what to do with any of that, she believes it so strongly....I don`t but if there`s something making a group of people bleive that

Could it be true?

That doesn`t make it true though

what if it is?

What if it isn`t?

You expect to be gone in three years...what do you do on the fourth year?

Maybe that question won`t matter.

Idk....



What do you do after a conversation like that?

Probably going off to bed, may write something if I can`t sleep.

Of course right after she left youtube recommended me this.



I do lov eBob Dylan.
