Month: August 2019

That was different.

9 Hours, dreamless, uninterrupted sleep.That’s some kind of record for me, at least over the past few years.

I went to bed last night feeling poorly; something sinusy… I was expecting to be up & down all night but as it turned out being asleep was apparently what I needed once my body turned off it stayed off. Nice change!

Just got up, trying to decide what to do today. I need to keep sorting and tossing junk but I’m honestly not much up for it. 

It’s been just about a week since the move was finished. I haven’t accomplished nearly what I wanted to and I’ve got to press on. That doesn’t imply that my heart is in it. 

I’m thinking I might be a little depressed, there are many tasks and each is daunting. I’m having trouble just choosing one to execute on. It’s easier for me to lose myself in little distractions, rather than chip away at the bigger tasks.

Well, off to attempt to get something accomplished.

Finally getting through the mess in my office.

Believe me, it’s a mess! Lots of mail that I just didn’t have time to deal with over the past 3 years. Most of it is shreddable without spending too much time on it. Some of it though is stuff that needs to be really paid attention to or stored.

On the plus side I can play music or watch some of the porn collection while I’m doing this mostly mindless task. Scanning is slow and tedious. Statements and stuff like that isn’t printed in a way that makes for easy conversion to digital storage methods.

But the tedious task is worthwhile because I can reduce the clutter in the office and make things easier for me to concentrate on the things that I need to get taken care of. 

You know, minor things like Job searching, writing and other projects that I want to do. Plus, right now if I were to try to do a video interview I couldn’t because there’s no “Professional” background that doesn’t look like a hoarders home.

So the music or porn keeps me entertained without focusing my entire attentions like a movie would. After all you pretty much know what happening in a porn movie. Most of them aren’t long on plot even if they’re unbelievably long in other ways.

As I’ve stated, I hate moving.

However I’m out of the San Diego area. Getting out was not without its difficulties. But A Great friend helped me out in so many ways.

I haven’t been sleeping well in the run-up to this move but last night was an all time low for me. maybe one hour of solid sleep, and 4 hours of fitful 10 or 15 minute naps.

Then we were up at dawn, disassembling the remaining furniture and packing final items. Yipee!

By the time we were able to start loading the truck it was already getting hot. By the time we were done we were both wet from sweat and tired.

It took a while for me to turn in the keys to the apartment and even longer at Cox cable to turn in the cable modem. 35 minute waits to turn in equipment? Really? Come on Cox get it together!

It took me almost an hour to finally hit the freeway by which time my Friend was within 30 minutes of the storage facility.

I was freaking out. Then a nice calm seem to fall over the San Diego drivers suddenly space opened up and I could fly.

What I didn’t know at the time was that my friend had been taken on a wild goose chase by his phone navigation lady and the storage facility had developed a leak in the storage unit I’d rented.

When I pulled into the facility, my friend had just started unloading stuff into the new unit and all I had to do was sign some paperwork. 1.5 hours later we were locking the door and heading to drop-off the truck.

So that pain is finished. Now I’m planning to do absolutely nothing for at least the next couple of days.

Hell, I might not even get out of bed!

From what my body is telling me right now… I might not have much of a choice.

I’m looking forward to getting at least a few decent hour sleep. If I’m really lucky… I might get a good solid 8 hours. I’m not holding my breath mind you, but the thought has crossed my mind that this, right now is actually the beginning of my off work downtime.
