Thursday 26 December

Was up early this morning after a good sleep at the shoebox. Got cleaned okay. Worked out and drank some water. Unable to get FreeBSD to boot. Heading out to breakfast soon.

Back to the shoebox with more of our stuff. I now have my Kepma acoustic guitar over and it’s sounding good. The mindspace is unsettled -there is war in and out now. Thought of writing a new Medium story to pass the time.

Back from shopping at IKEA. I bought a 10RM wall clock for the shoebox -now called home. Folks bought a roast chicken from Lotus’s for dinner. It’s very convenient and tasty. Brought over an Ella Fitzgerald album and the house feels jazzy and lively now. Also wearing my Seiko diver for tomorrow’s planned outing with my cousin. I only see him once a year for a day.

Mom is taking up the most room with her accumulated pack rat stuff. I need to take a shower. Drank some residual prune juice in case tomorrow is constipated. Bought mayo, ketchup, and gherkins. Jazz music is actually quite neutral and ambient.

Back from the last errand of the day. I hung our 10RM IKEA designer clock on a cable tie round a coffee stirring stick, stuck into a pipe bracket. MacGyver would have been proud. It’s the one with perforated Arabics and no seconds hand. Quite readable altho it’s white on white. Took a much-needed shower and am changed into comfy clothes. Will take my meds in half an hour. Brush and turn in by 11pm. Now to write more of Inexact Science.

Am prepping chp.5 now for lack of something to do. Charging my Nokia ahead of tomorrow’s outing. Feeling a little sleepy from the half sedative I took over an hour ago. Joy riders passed by our house but it was a one off, probably.
