Marking time, plus a video about death
May. 4th, 2023 12:46 amI seem to have fallen into a rhythm where I'm not sleeping for more than 4-6 hours at a pop, which is not helping the weight but seems to be keeping my BG and BP normal, or close to normal.
Today I ran the dishwasher, emptied the kitchen trash, and posted a rather long video to YouTube about death, and changes in my life, but mostly death and how I've dealt with it and think about it. (Probably more than I should, in the latter case.) I'll edit this later when/if the internet comes back on; it's being wonky at the moment. I also used up the last of the puffed granola and wheat germ to make a loaf of...well, I guess cinnamon soda bread is the best descriptor.
Was going to hit Raley's for a few things today, but I didn't because I got sleepy in the late afternoon and overslept my late afternoon nap. It's not like I really need anything -and in fact I'm trying to avoid spending money on anything until I leave for Vegas on the 16th- but it would be nice to have some more Arizona Diet Green Tea and maybe some margarine.
After being pleasantly warm on Sunday, the temperature took a dive into the low 40s/high 30s Monday and Tuesday; today was a little more temperate and not as windy.
Finished Leigh Brackett's Queen of the Martian Catacombs, the first of the three Illustrated Stark books from Cirsova, and what jumps out at you right away is that despite the Barsoomian setting, this tale has aged very, very well. There is absolutely nothing to indicate that this story was published way back in 1949. Looking forward to finishing the next two before I leave for Balticon.
I guess I was wrong about having to change my play style. The Celts are pulling ahead on points, having maxed Tradition and Patronage and adopted Freedom early, so I think I have a real chance of beating the Iroquois, Mayans, and especially the Huns. I looked into doing mods for Civ5 and decided it was just too much work to plug in Watchtowers and Reforestation.
