Very pretty day today with an AQI of 103/Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups. Sad thing is, I don’t know if that is still wildfire remnants or if that is just normal for my area at this time of year. I’m embarrassed at how little attention I pay to the AQI on a day to day basis – we have a handful of orange/red days any given summer and they are good about announcing it on the radio and I just think “well, no running for me today!” (I do not run anymore.) So I really have no idea what is normal or not.

My lord, this has been a barrage of a news week. TFG indicted, bunch of assholes kicked the bucket, I’m sure a bunch of other stuff I missed or have already forgotten, and just now – Nicola Sturgeon taken into custody for questioning with regards to SNP finances. And for every right winger who was screaming the past 4 days “WHAT IF IT WAS A LEFTY?” Well, if she fucked around with SNP money, it’s time to find out.

Got a bunch of little things I need to tend to around the house today, and I am in full “don’t wanna” mode. BUT I WILL AT LEAST GET ALL THE LITTLE THINGS DONE, DAMMIT! I have split my Tody list into two parts – one for daily/critical little things and then another for all the deep cleaning type stuff. Cause the deep cleaning list is miles and miles long and I found when I had it all in one list, I’d get completely overwhelmed and just shut down and not get anything done at all.

I’m still shit at housekeeping, but by splitting it out, I can actually get the daily/critical stuff done on a fairly consistent basis. And since the Big Clear Out, I’ve actually been maintaining things well enough that if we need a repair person in the house, THEY CAN JUST COME ON IN. Depending on what they’d have to work on, I’d need maybe 15 minutes to make sure the area is clear for them to work. AND THAT IS FREAKING AMAZING FOR ME.

And no small part of that is the Roombas. Gotta keep crap up off the floor so they can run and I AM DOING THAT EVERY DAMN DAY!!

So, today’s plan is work through the daily list and then depending on how much “go” I still have left, hit up something on the long list. And now that work is calming down again, I need to make a more concerted effort to hit one or two things on the long list after work, too. But that is a challenge for tomorrow.

You have a wonderful Sunday and I hope you have nice weather with a good AQI.
