Hey There! It's 7:55 AM EST
I'm up maybe a little early this morning. Did not sleep the best. Sometimes the CPAP machine makes things difficult, and last night I just had too much dry mouth. That creates a bit of restlessness. Also, I got caught having to pee at 7AM, and that puts me in the awkward position of either getting up early to pee and then start the day, or hold it for another 45 minutes or so and try to sleep. Today, I got up.
Yesterday was another very quiet day. I took out the garbage, including all those bags I filled from the campsite, and then I double-checked to make sure everything was completed for the podcast release this morning (I had to edit the show notes because I forgot to cite one piece of media). I drove DW to her massage appointment, and then went for a walk. It was very windy, and a little snow was falling, so I cut it short by about 10 minutes or so. I had breakfast, and picked up DW. There's the morning for you.
I did my laundry, which in my house means using a small apartment stack unit. We do have a larger washer/dryer combo downstairs, but I prefer staying upstairs and taking my time.
Passing time in the afternoon and evening is becoming a challenge. I find I am spending too much time on YouTube, and I have yet to come up with something to break that habit. I find reading these days to be tedious, and I can't quite figure out why that is. I should be a better reader, but I'm not. I could try more podcasts, but somehow the visual stimulation as opposed to the aural stimulation feels better. I think I have to better develop some indoor hobbies to keep myself occupied. DW has so many TV series she watches, but I am not a TV watcher. Just YouTube.
I've actually thought of running a social experiment with a YouTube channel - a channel about nothing. I think I would be perfectly candid and make the channel about trying to earn YouTube money to supplement my income. Nothing more. I wonder if people would subscribe. There are so many YouTube channels out there and they are so bad, but they make money through Adsense. So you know, why not build a channel about nothing but the attempt to make Adsense money?
I spent the evening studying minivan conversions on YouTube. It's something I dream of doing, but I am not sure I'd ever get a chance to do it. Leaving DW alone for weeks at a time doesn't seem feasible, since she's not too mobile and does not like to be where I am not. Maybe I'll venture the topic someday, but I'd probably have to take one of the cars we already own, since I doubt she'd be amenable to trading in one of our cars for a minivan. She always finds problems with every car I buy, but of course she won't car shop herself.
Today I anticipate to be another quiet day. I believe I am going to buy a different insurance for two of the cars, and also discontinue my Wordpress website and move it elsewhere. I have a minimal front-facing website, and it's all I need.This one here is for the writing exercise and to put down things I'm not quite ready to drop on my public site. So it's a computer/WWW transition day, or at least the beginning of such.
'Til We Meet Again!
