Done Since 2024-12-08

It feels as though I didn't get much done this wee, but I think that's only partly true. I didn't do nrarly as much music practice as I intended, and I had several episodes of decision paralysis, where I spent as much as an hour not deciding what to do next. Not sure how to deal with that. And falling asleep in the yellow chair downstairs, wrapped in a fuzzy blanket, a couple of times. Somewhat related to the decision paralysis.

On the other hand, I got the cardboard recycling dealt with (with some help from G this time), N and I went out and bought a scootmobile (3-wheeled enclosed mobility "scooter" thing) on Tuesday, and we put together quite a lot of flat-pack furniture, and we arranged for the couch we ordered a couple of weeks ago to be delivered (tomorrow), Paying for the scootmobile and arranging for the couch delivery required a lot of messing around phone apps, which I'm no good at. But they got done.

I should rephrase that: "I did them." I.e., I should use active voiced. I should work on my self-talk. I shouldn't "should" myself. I should break out of this self-referential self-talk loop. I think this was meant to be amusing, or ironic, but I think it fails at both.

Yesterday my brother emailed me to say that I have a new grand-nephew. So there's that.
