August 9, 2015

 I did things today. I should have done more, like any work on the basement, but that didn't really happen. This morning I fixed the fence. It is completely overgrown behind the fence and it was a bit of a struggle getting past a cedar tree in the beginning but after that it was mainly stamping down the giant weeds and trying not to slip in the mud. The boards I needed to fix were on opposite sides of the yard but I ended up having to go all the way around through the jungle because the neighbors built their fence against ours on one side. Kind of annoying. I knew there were at least three boards to fix but luckily I bought some extra screws because I ended up needing all of the extra. I imagine I'll need more after the next big storm but for now the fence is doing alright.

It was ridiculously humid today and the whole time I was working on the fence it was a struggle to keep my glasses on my face because I was sweating so much. I embraced it a little while longer and hung a few things outside for my mom. Coming back in to the air conditioning was almost unbearable because it was so cold. I also took the opportunity of feeling gross to run on the elliptical before taking a shower.

Other than assembling some plastic shelves and moving a chair, I didn't really accomplish anything downstairs. The fence thing kind of took it out of me. And that is really just an excuse but it's too late to do anything about it now.

Tonight I watched episodes of Arrow and spent a little time working on a new version of the first letter in my name after watching a couple videos on penmanship. Awhile ago I came up with a new way of writing it which I really liked but I didn't keep up with it and it wasn't long before I reverted back to the old way. Maybe this time will be different.


Tomorrow, basement stuff. And maybe laundry. But mostly basement stuff. The clock is ticking.
