I’ll be honest, this week’s been kind of a foggy blur, interrupted by periodic explosions of flatulence. I haven’t been sleeping well for reasons that elude me, and I’ve been having all kinds of interesting lower GI issues (to the point of sore abdominal muscles!) for reasons that sort of also elude me, but were probably helped along by a big pot of absolutely delicious curried lentils I made on Monday and had been eating all week.

So yeah, I’ve been putting all my effort into fighting through the fragrant fecund fog to get done the stuff I need to get done between hours of lying wide awake in bed.

At least I’m getting some reading done. Now, if only I could harness what’s coming out of me to generate power to feed back to the grid like I do with the energy generated from my solar panels…I’d be much more well off financially.

Apart from those significant elements, I did manage to get a little more holiday shopping done, including scheduling an upgrade to the aforementioned solar array; an upgrade to the outdated gateway device that came with the house, which will provide better functionality and system information so I can get better data about how things are working.

If we get the installation done before the end of the year, I’ll be looking at a very nice tax credit, especially after figuring in what I’ve already got coming thanks to the new windows earlier this year.

The rest of it’s been stuff I’m not going to mention in case certain individuals stumble up on this post.

Given how I’ve been feeling as described above, along with the cold and rainy forecast, I don’t expect I’ll be doing much this weekend apart from the usual chores and spending a little time working through career mode in Planet Zoo.

And oh yeah, last post about how I was hoping President Biden would keep dropping social justice and policy bombs through the end of his term? Yesterday’s record-setting pardon and clemency action is exactly the kind of thing I was talking about. Let’s go, Dark Brandon.

Anyway, tunes. Bunch of indie and americana, which is exactly what one would expect, unless I’m in another one of my KISS and hair metal phases that I’m not feeding via Hair Nation on SiriusXM channel 39….
