Transparent denials
When I went to bed last evening, I knew that I’d forgotten some household task. When I awoke, long before daylight (thank you dog; who needs a rooster). I remembered. Put the waste bin to the curb. Not an irregular thing, as it happens every week on or about Thursday, but sometimes a bit of procrastination kicks in. And so, when I figured the hour was at hand, I dressed against the weather and pushed the cart to the side of the road. Interesting task: with the lane alternating between heavy drifts and clear patches of sheer ice, I imagined myself competing in some insane winter sport. Take note that I did not fail, or fall.
I have lowered my expectations. That was sufficient physical effort for a day in January. Check back when summer arrives, to see if my output increases as a function of light and temperature.
I have to start putting “necessary” patch cords away in a known place. My intention to install those firmware upgrades did not advance beyond “I Should!” because I never found the needed cabling. Maybe tomorrow.
As we await the next round of elections, the various political teams (a party is a stretch) are trying to field a list of candidates. And find a new leader, in one instance. Pity that the internal squabbles find them missing important functions (like an debate on land use) because certain candidates claim that they had “no idea there as a debate”. When there are multiple copies of emails with mention that you will attend, or not, or would if only… Sure, you knew about the debate, and sure the rest of us know that you knew.
