What are you doing today?

A bit of snow on the ground, so I plugged in the car's block heater.

This afternoon I'm meeting one of my language partners for Spanish practice. I had taken a break from the group. But this is my only social life, so I figure I should go.

I didn't have time to do my morning exercises, so I'll have to fit them in this afternoon (and then more exercises in the evening).

The days don't even have time for the basics any more.
 
Winterish Fall arrived today, clouds, windy, and chilly. Complex computer work last few days within Excel spread sheets, Command Prompt windows, notepad windows, long exif strings. Updating 2 years of pandemic blamed backlog on records of thousands of image files. Lots of exif and text string manipulations and custom programming. This afternoon after downing a PBJ/milk will take a hot shower, then will be taking a break, as my head has been spinning, even at night while sleeping. Something other programmers will understand. In any case, probably does a senior's brain good refreshing much old technical stuff before it degenerates too far per neural plasticity. What's that you say?

I've done nothing since getting home from work. Zip. Nada. Zed. Zero.

Wait. I lied. I took a nap. Is that "doing" something?

Right now I'm boiling some pasta to mix with sausage and peppers that DD brought home from a restaurant two nights ago.

I was so tired last night that I didn't even eat any ice cream. Can you imagine????

Work tomorrow. Work Monday. I'm tired of it and thiscloseto just taking a hike. The "extra" money is nice, but I'm tired of being a work horse while management sends everybody in the store who wants a change to another department or anybody new to another department. The bakery is a consistent money-maker. Maybe what they need to get their attention is for the bakery to start losing money? Think they'd sit up and take notice?

Time to feed my face. And then eat some ice cream. A lot of ice cream. Maybe three kinds tonight. Or four.

@hollydolly Have fun with your granddogs tomorrow. Oh. And your DD, too, of course.

Maybe it is time. After a certain age, things change quickly. What was worth it a month ago or a year ago might be too much now. Good luck figuring it out!
 
Lots of miscellaneous things today.... ordered a Majestic Palm (actual plant, not silk or plastic) for corner of living room by south-facing window.

Shopped for throw pillows for couch -- came up empty =(

Vacuumed/dusted more in living area, focusing on the fireplace. It has *never* drawn, so a few years ago I put an arrangement of candles in there (pillars, votives, tea lights) in various holders (lots of wrought iron) and I light those in the cooler evenings for the ambience with no mess.

Watched a YouTube video about making Italian Lentil soup (vegetarian), took notes and will try that for next cold snap
 
@hollydolly
How long will your furry family visitors be staying at your house?
And will your DD be staying overnight? Have you planned to prepare the special foods she likes when with you? I hope you enjoy it all! :giggle:

no..she's only here for a few hours... with the dogs.. she has a long drive home, so she;ll want to get back before it gets dark which it does before 6pm.. plus she has work at 7am on Monday morning.. so it's only a short visit, she'll be arriving early in the morning.. and probably leaving early or mid afternoon..
 
It's nice to hear about that, @hollydolly :)
Probably the time will go by very quickly, then, but would be thoroughly exhausting if it was overnight.
I am sure you'll enjoy seeing her, and your furgrandkids.
 
Now 5:59pm PDT or 4:59pm STD time I prefer. Astronomical sunset for San Jose today is 6:23pm PDT so in a few minutes I'll be back outside with my photo daypack/tripod for a half mile walk to an old high school athletic field, now a park, where I've figured out some good potential tree silhouettes for our urban areas. Today potentially has the best cirrus of the month with a cold front pushing east overruning with high altitude moisture condensing vapors. Likely to use my APS-C Sigma 56mm and Sony 85mm lenses. Will report back later maybe tomorrow with some processed images. 6:05 PM, bye.

Did one hour on the stairs machine, level 2, up one from level 1 from last Saturday. Within a couple weeks I should be back at level 4. Then 2 hours of weights. Hoping the pain Sunday and Monday is no more than a 6 on tye 1-10 scale. I have been away from gym for a year. It takes a few weeks for the body to get back into sync.
 
Cirrus was only modestly saturated. But late dusk in west had good color. A6000 56m full image 6000x4000 pixels, downsized here for web by 1/3. Right out of camera without post processing or even brightness adjustments since I am very familiar with results if the preview looks fine.

100% pixels crop shows how sharp it is.

Italian cypress, cupressus sempervirens, favorite of landscapers makes an excellent silhouette.
