. Oh, yes I am! Thanks for asking

I had a good,long night's sleep for a change and I'm just going to motor thru the various daily chores at my pace, without stressing about the list of things that need doing.

I hope you're having a good day too,BRENDA.

That happens to me all the time. I tell everyone I'm a scheduling dyslexic. I try, I really do, to stay organized. I make lists, and I have a diary and we have a family calendar AND a white board where people put up whatever they think we're running short of, whether it's meds or supplies or food.

And I STILL manage to double up appointments on some days, and forget to get what I'm supposed to get

Sigh

Bad memory and bad scheduling. I'm also really bad at visualizing

Well I've been telling people since it came out that they need to watch Utopia. Glad you finally found it because as far as I know nobody else watched it.

Unfortunately, it did not get a 2nd season.

Quote:

---

It kind of blows my mind that they even released the 1st season when they did, right at the beginning of the Plandemic.

It's still worth watching to the end even though you're going to be left as empty as you were when watching Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.

---

There is a UK version of the show that came out first. I've never looked into it to see if they actually finished that show or not.

You're right about the gore though. My old man told me I should watch it and after maybe just the first or second episode I told him that I might not finish it. He told me that he thought the same thing, but that he stuck with it and that I should too. He was right. But that was all before the lockdowns started happening and I knew that there was no chance they were going to tell any more of that particular story.

They blame the cancellation on low viewership, but if you watch it all you'll know why that's bullshit.

We got some early rain last night. It was unpredicted so I didn't set out my "rain gage" and don't know how much it was. When I start weeding I'll be able to see how far it penetrated the soil.

Seems like we both made it thru the fire season in one piece.

Now all I need help with from my friend's dad tomorrow is casing out the 3 remaining windows.



Gotta get to bed at a reasonable hour today. I've obligated myself to help my neighbor move furniture again but didn't know until a few hours ago that it starts at 8AM. I didn't even wake up today until 9AM.

That was the one with the multiple time loops, wasn't it? That one left me mostly confused. I lost track of who was from what time loop.

There were two (three, actually) predictive points to the story. Four, depending on how conspiracy-minded you are.

The first is the nature of the virus itself. The virus that's in the drop of rain in the frame with the little girl with the T-shaped rash on her face? The spherical virus with the spikes sticking out of it? That's a corona virus. A lot of viruses have distinctive shapes, and that's one of them. (Ebola is another one. It's rod-shaped with a curl, crook, or loop on one end, kind of like a shepherd's crook.)

The second is the bat as the ostensible source of the virus.

The third is that the virus was deliberately manufactured.

The fourth is the evil pharma genius who spreads a virus in order to promote a vaccine, sidestepping the FDA in order to get an EUA. (I don't know what's with the vaccine yet, but it's not looking good.)

A fifth, I suppose, is more descriptive thn predictive, but it's USA's (and China's) continuation of biowarfare research.

I was just as surprised watching it as I was re-watching "The Lone Gunmen" (an X-Files spinoff.) Their VERY FIRST episode was about a USA government plot to get terrorists to fly a commercial passenger jet into one of the twin towers. Aired BEFORE 9-11.

It's one of those shows that, at least for me, once I started watching I couldn't stop (despite the gore) bc I wanted to see what would happen next. It's a gripping, unpredictable story.

Two winters ago I managed to work nearly every day on my kitchen despite the terrible cold weather that year, but then last year was a lot more mild and there were about 3 months there I didn't do anything but watch YouTube and play video games.

Getting a huge backlog of to-do on the DONE list is a great motivator though too. When I first started working on my house again it all seemed so insurmountable. But now that I'm a few years into it and I've been able to cash in some of my favors to get things done I couldn't on my own it's really all coming together.

Well, that's the downside, innit? Too bad you can't just turn it on and off when you need to.

Yeah... well my mom and my brother are both Bi-Polar. I had an uncle who was OCD really bad and it appears that my youngest brother, despite being "treated" for it at a much earlier age is also going to struggle with it really hard in adulthood.

I'm sure I'm somewhere in that mix myself. The hoarding. The ups and downs in productivity. The addiction tenancies. The ability to eat the same thing every day. The impossible standards I put on other people after I've put them on myself. The quickness to anger.

Fortunately the worst of my addictions are behind me, as well as the hoarding tenancies. I still have a hoard, but it's a digital hoard and for the most part it's extremely well organized and backed up. That is why I have to stay away from "modern" video games made after the early 2000's because I can play a game from the Fallout series and pick up every dented tin can I find and have a locker back home for all of them.

Part of the reason I've chosen the lifestyle that I have is to cope with my deficiencies and not burden anybody else with them. When I'm on point, I'm on point, but I can fall off that horse and have a real hard time getting back up on it.

I'm confident that whoever said "strike while the iron is hot" was Bi-Polar/OCD.

I'd love to see some of those "to dos" crossed off my list, that would be a big motivator. Maybe i should start with something small but what ive been hesitant to fo. Sheer relief alone would be a kickstart!

Unlike you, I work better in cold weather. I was never a big fan of summer to begin with, since our bedrooms were stiflimg and too hot to sleep well.

The weather really changed around here. Some nights have gotten to the low 60s and we had early rain, so its been an unusually cool wet fall. Not turned on the heat, yet, but I put extra blankets/ comforters on the beds and am making soups and stews ... no more salad!

Anyway, like I said, thanks for the pep talk. Im gonna get going now!

Primer is very forgiving. The high-gloss paint will not be. I may need to think about a smaller brush and doing both coats in stages.

Yeah, I do vaguely.

My province has voted to get rid of it. The problem now is that we are waiting on Washington state, Oregon and California along with DC to get their acts together so we can do it.

Nobody wants it anymore it is outdated.

I always need a reminder about it or I will forget. Stupid pain in the backside.
