A change of pace?
Jan. 29th, 2001 07:54 amI don't know whether it is the altitude or the new enterprise, but I increasingly feel strangely listless in my "spare" time. The reading is accumulating around my desk downstairs - things that need to be read, not just recreational reading.
An indicator of just how brain-dead I've become is the fact that I sat through most of the Super Bowl yesterday, along with Drew and Shannon. Those poor Giants, they could never get anything really going. Their hapless quarterback, when he wasn't being sacked, kept throwing the ball to players wearing the wrong jerseys. I have to assume he was having a bad day - as was the rest of the team - since you don't generally get to the Super Bowl on looks alone.
I ate way too much last night, too. I made some fried rice with pork while a 15-bean soup was simmering on a back burner. Drew taught me the trick of saving vegetable peelings for the previous few days and using the resulting mass to create a vegetable stock. I'd done that with beef and chicken and fish, but never vegetables, until yesterday. The pork fried rice was preceded with some tabouli, and afterward, I had a small cup of the soup (the beans were not fully cooked) and a cup of ice cream with chocolate syrup.
Eeeaahhhh!
The lights in the distance were visible last night when I went to sleep, and again this morning when I arose. I have taken to rising at 5 am, since it gives me almost two hours of uninterrupted time in which to do various things. Today, I got caught up in my LJ search engine, updating the data files to finish off last year and get a start on this one. I'm not at all sure this is a good use of my time, since there are so many other things to do that are, objectively speaking, more important.
This week, the emphasis in the store will be on dealing with claims. This item, perhaps, grates upon my psyche with the most effect. Galina will be showing up near the end of the week, and it may be that I'll have to face the lawyer who will be helping establish a corporation to run the store without her (even though she will be the principal owner of the corporation).
I'm off to get ready for the day.
Cheers...
