This morning I woke up around 8:45AM. Not really sure why it was
that “early” but I rolled with it. I spent most of my morning
watching YouTube videos and figuring out what happened to all the
space on the larger second hard drive in my laptop. Around 900GB was
taken up on the hard drive and I couldn't figure out where all that
space had gone. I did a lot of reading, which helped a little bit,
but then I found a program called SpaceSniffer which scans a drive
and shows you a visual representation of everything on it. So large
files show up as big boxes and small files show up as smaller boxes.
When I did it on my second drive a whole bunch of big boxes showed
up. They ended up being backups going all the way back to 2014.
Seemed a bit unnecessary. After deleting all but the latest backup
and a few other files, I'm back up to 768GB free, and that sounds a
lot more realistic.
I called to schedule an appointment about my eye but it was about
thirty minutes before they closed and the girl who answered the phone
said a nurse or assistant or whatever would need to schedule it
because it was more than just an eye exam. Understandable. So I'm
going to call back before I go to work on Monday. This time led with
the fact that my eye is bothering me, which I think is the way to go
because last time I think they just assumed I wanted a regular eye
exam. I need one of those too but I need to get my eye sorted out
first.
Before I headed to my Mom's house to do laundry, she brought over a
low shelf thing she got for me. We just put it in the middle of the
living room for the moment. I need to stare at it for awhile to
figure out what I want to do with it.
I spent most of the time while my laundry was going watching movies.
I saw the last five minutes of Road To Perdition (which is a
major spoiler and I've never seen the movie before), the last half of
16 Candles, and the first half of Batman v Superman: Dawn
of Justice. I am almost certain there was another movie in there
but it's not coming to me. Oh, it just came to me. I also watched
Deadpool. Or at least most of it. More of it than the other
movies. And the parts I didn't see I listened to because I was
downstairs taking apart an elliptical.
I'm doing somewhat better at eating healthier but I still need to get
better at exercising. My only excuse at the moment is that my
shoulder is still hurt from carrying Tanner a month ago, but that
doesn't really prevent me from doing that much. There are loads of
other things I could be doing. And that is why I wanted to bring the
elliptical over. My excuse for that had been that it wouldn't fit in
my car, but today I decided to just take it apart. That was kind of
a pain, and it still barely fit in my car, but I made it work.
Tomorrow I plan to put it back together.
When I got home I unloaded my laundry, tools, and the elliptical, and
then made dinner. I roasted vegetables, and also made brown rice and
quinoa to go with the vegetables. I decided to try just drizzling
the oil over the vegetables while they were on the pan and I think I
like it better when I mix them all together with the oil and
seasoning in a bowl. The drizzle works for asparagus but I'll stick
with the mixing bowl for my other vegetables.
Tonight I watched YouTube videos and researched minimalist shoes.
They've got an interesting look and I kind of like them. They're all
advertised as running shoes for people who want a back-to-basics
approach to running and for proponents of forefoot running. A lot of
people land heel-first when running and this is apparently bad and
unnatural (according to some people), and I think is caused (or at
least encouraged) by wearing shoes that have more of a heel, which a
lot of shoes do. Minimalist shoes are mostly, if not always,
zero-drop shoes, which means they are completely flat and there is no
drop from the heel of the shoe to the toe. I think Chucks can be
considered pretty minimalist, but I don't know about the zero-drop
thing because they aren't perfectly flat on the inside. Or maybe
they are until you wear them for awhile and they start forming to
your foot. I don't know. Anyway, I looked at a lot of shoes and
watched videos about proper running techniques and how to get your
feet back to how they should be naturally. My knees hate me so I
have no interest in running but it's something to think about.
Right now I am watching Two Door Cinema Club perform at Coachella.
They actually played earlier but I spaced out and only caught the
last two or three songs. But then I discovered I could click back in
the livestream and I'm able to watch the whole performance. Pretty
sweet. Now I'm going to have to pause it, though, because I need to
record my audio journal. It's late and I'm tired. And I'm going to
try and wake up at a decent time. This morning I made eggs for
breakfast but I'm not sure if I am going to make anything tomorrow.
We'll see how I'm feeling.
