Just finished up the morning's dishes. (Thanks, mom, for making me handwash dishes as a kid.) The stopper fell off the catcher, and I had to fish it out with a knife. That was super fun.
Less of a daily report, more of some general thoughts...
I don't miss some things as much as I expected to. Other than the occasional song off of someone else's computer (mostly Lady Gaga from Kanako and Nikki and Final Countdown from Matt, but even those are uncommon), I haven't listened to any music this whole time. And that's been... fine. Which is weird, considering how twitchy I get without music for long periods of time at home. Especially without MY music. As it is, though, I'm glad I didn't transfer any over to the netbook. It's weird how comfortable I am without the music. Course, there's always some sort of white noise, especially from our heater in the corner, but still. New and different and interesting.
When we were in the library I thought about checking my webcomics briefly, but decided against it. Another thing that I don't miss as much as I expected. Oh, when I get back, I'll definitely spend a few nights digging through 3 months of archives and catching up, and I'll enjoy it, but I'm not too worried about it while I'm here.
One thing I definitely don't miss is waking up to an alarm. I set an alarm once this entire time, and woke up before it anyway. I wake up more naturally here, the noise level outside the room hits a certain point and that's when I get up. Of course it probably helps that 11 PM-8 AM here is 3 AM-noon home time, so I'm not really switching my rhythm that much. It feels great to just wake up when my body wants to, though. I wish I could pull it off at home. I actually feel up and alert right when I get up, and I don't doze nearly as much (though there have been a couple times, don't get me wrong).
The rest of the crowd just got back and EVERYONE immediately commented on the smell of bacon. I am amused.
That's all for now. Hope everyone is doing well. I know you Hiram kids are back at school, so someone toss me an e-mail, eh? Take care, everyone.

We is back at school. I like this entry, alas there is no like button.
ReplyDeleteAlso I amused your phone works in Hawaii.
From a spirituality perspective I really appreciate these insights. I'm glad you've noticed how much noise we surround ourselves with....and how nice it can be when that's stripped away. Remembering this throughout your life will serve you well.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gift!
