I don’t even have a ton of photos I took or anything so who knows how I got 3.45 GB of shit onto this computer in the last 34 days. It’s probably porn
anyway i’m home in buffalo, and they installed a new furnace before i got here yesterday, and boy do we need to clean our cold air return vents because the new fan is strong and makes a constant whistling noise in there so that’s today’s project for me.
Also there’s a sink full of dishes, most of which I was not here for the dirtying of, so I started in on those and also I had collected and dried a lot of thyme, some oregano, and some sage, and now I have those safely stowed on my spice rack– I’d had to purchase dried thyme over the winter, that’s how bad things got around here, so I’m glad to have new stuff from the farm. It’s not the same!
Maybe I’ll have some time for writing today but I’m not holding my breath.
My cat claims not to have missed me. She spent a couple hours last night curled up partly on my face but is being aloof in daylight. she also doesn’t understand the concept of central air and wants us to let her out on the back porch because she likes it hot out, which, fair enough.
Our basement is so spotless, it’s astonishing. There’s a guy down there now doing some work on the vents and installing the whole-house humidifier that came with the furnace, so. That’s cool. It’s supposed to be hot today but isn’t yet, so we don’t have the new central air on yet.
I’m also supposed to be cleaning the cold air return vents so we’ll see how far i get on that today. i’m also-also supposed to be making grown-up phone calls but a lot of those issues have been working themselves out slowly from the panicked emails I sent a while back, so I sort of need to re-evaluate and take stock there, and I just don’t have the attention span for it at the moment. I’m on Menial Tasks today, not Decisions, because the latter are Not Happening. (Like, I keep thinking oh yeah sure I’m gonna, but then they… don’t… work, so. Best to delay, there.)
Also Dude very thoroughly re-did the little brick area between our sunporch and the fence to the neighbor’s house– like, dug out all the dirt, laid down sand and gravel and edging stuff, and laid bricks into a tight pattern so there’d be a place for the air conditioner thingy to go, and that all looks astonishingly nice and tidy…
and there’s a four-foot pile of dirt in the center of the lawn because he seems to have decided that’s where that ought to go. “there’s some rhizomes in there, you want those plants?” well, if they’ve been lying in that dirt pile for a week or two now, they’re probably dead, so even if I did want those plants it’s too late now, thanks for asking! I guess that there’ll be a four-foot pile of dirt in the center of the lawn until I decide that I need to put it somewhere else, because he’s not going to do it, so like… that’s great but also fucking awful, if it gets rained on it’s going to just.
well maybe it’ll just spread itself out over the lawn. I don’t care. I don’t do anything with the lawn. I don’t care about the lawn. So whatever, man.

Date: 2020-06-30 05:03 pm (UTC)So far I'm not super sold on the central air, I'd almost rather just have the windows open and a fan on, but it's going to be brutally hot this week and now that I've cleaned the cold air returns (which were clogged so bad as to be whistling, and somehow, cleaning them was 100% my problem again even though I only live here occasionally and haven't spent any significant time here in most of 2020??) the a/c does actually seem to be doing something, so it's worth a shot.
Probably I'd feel more strongly about it if it were humid but it's so dry here, it hardly matters.
