So, what did I do on my weekend?

So, what did I do on my weekend? Yes there was some adulting involved. I had to do laundry. And my trip to the store (actually I had that delivered due to the significant amount of frozen items and the whole I take the bus deal…). And then I cleaned my room. Not something I normally do, but after that last bag of Cheetos (and stepping on stale Cheetos hurts like a lego), I needed to vacuum.

So all the adulting was done by about noon yesterday. And then I decided to play around with Linux. Now having just finished my most recent system rebuild, and wanting to not fuck it up, I decided to do it with Vmware Player. And a couple of hours later, I was greeted with a Linux VM that could boot to a desktop. And then I decided that I have an 8 year old laptop that The Anti-Christ will no longer be supporting the only version of Windows 10 on this fall, and so I pulled it out,and now I have a laptop running Linux. Still slower than a turtle with knee problems, but it’ll still be usable….

About last night….

Sorry co-workers. I meant to come to work. My alarm went off on time. I got up. Showered. When I got out of the shower, I started to get dressed. And then I realized I was sweating. Seriously. Turned my AC on (I set it up earlier this week), and my room was still cool enough that the compressor didn’t start. Then I realized my blood sugar was probably low, and I needed to eat something. But I can’t go into the kitchen without wearing pants. And I can’t dress until I’ve stopped sweating….

As you can see confusion is also a symptom of hypoglycemia. Fortunately, during all this I was cognizant enough to realize that perhaps it’s best if I didn’t go to work, and I was able to fire up the work app on my phone and call out.

I did finally get my pants on to get into the kitchen and eat something, and I finally pulled myself together. But yeah, diabetes is no fun….

The End Of The Vacation….

Well, my vacation is over. Shortly, I’ll be going to bed, and then wake up and head back to work. I’ve watch a lot of cricket (by design, as I timed my vacation with the start of the Indian Premier League). Some other programs that I usually DVR’ed I was able to watch when they were originally broadcast.

I really didn’t do much. I only left the house twice. First time was to take a bag of trash out, and the second time was Monday night when I decided I wanted some Arroz con Pollo from El Toro, and it’s far cheaper to just walk in to place your take-out order than use Uber Eats, or even their website.

I did nuke my computer again. I realized that my middle of the night nap attacks could be mitigated by doing something. Although since it is the middle of the night, and I respect my neighbors, I’d like to do something quiet.

Oh, and the one thing I did do on my vacation: I set up my air conditioner. Forecast says we’re due to hit the ‘70s this week, and since my room is facing Pacific Avenue (and all that traffic) and I have to close my window when I sleep…

Vacation Day 3: Report…

Watched Tournament of Champions. Ate Nachos. Took a nap (in spite of 8 hours of shut-eye I got).

And then I decided to F*ck my computer up. And that’s what I’ve been doing ever since 3 this morning. It has occurred to me that in order to stay awake, I need to be doing something. And while I did like one last fling with Windows 10, Windows 11 is where it’s going to be at….

But day 3 has come to an end, and it’s time to call it a night….

Vacation Day 2: Report/ Vacation Day 3:

Yes I should’ve written this post this morning, but I decided to go to bed early an hopefully break the nap attack every 4 hours or so habit. I crashed about 2/3s the way through the Formula 1 race, but I got up just in time for the first IPL match. And I saw Sunrisers Hyderabad almost get a score of 300. Needless to say, they won the match.

Then I went to bed, and had an honest to goodness 8 hours’ of shut-eye.

Now I’m up, and prepared to do another day of sitting on my ass. I DVR’ed the NASCAR and IndyCar races today, but first Tournament of Champions on Food Network. And maybe I’ll stream something else. Perhaps some Flight Simulator….

Vacation Day 2:

Checking the TV listings, the Chinese Grand Prix is at midnight, so I think I’ll watch it live. Then it’s an IPL doubleheader.

The only remaining question is: chili dogs or bachelor nachos?

Commence ass-sitting!

Vacation Day 1: Report…

For trying to do nothing at all, I was very busy. Monday, during my regular weekend, I decided to system wipe. Basically one last time with Windows 10. Anyway, during the day yesterday, I finished downloading the last of my Steam library, so I throughout most of last night, I finished up reinstalling my software. As of right now, I’m at 2158 different programs/games. Some of them I can install automatically, others manually.

Target run was delivered. I had no choice. We were out of toilet paper.

Then opening match of the Indian Premier League was not rained out. And tonight will be a doubleheader…. And there are a few other sports that I’m going to catch…

I think it’s now time to call it a night….

Vacation: Day 1

Yes, I am aware that it rains the hardest on my day off. And even harder when I’m on vacation. But I have the window open, and I’m enjoying it & the fresh air while I still have it. I figure in a month or so, I’ll have to set up the AC in my room (again western facing window and I sleep during the day).

I also had my regular weekend Monday and Tuesday, and so I did my laundry those days, so I can keep the adulting to a minimum. I did make a trip to Wally World this morning on the way home, and I’m thinking a Target run, but such things are unavoidable.

I timed this vacation specifically for the opening weekend of the Indian Premier League, but it appears as though the first match will be a washout. But there’s the first Weekend of March Madness, the Grand Prix of China, and Major League Rugby.

For planning on doing nothing, it looks like I’m going to be busy….

Vacation:Begin!

Commence Vacation Mode! Agenda for the next 5 days: absolutely nothing. Whether or not that actually happens will be a different thing, but one has to try....
