04-18-24 The 22280th Day
Or so Google tells me that the day I was born was that many days ago. Heck of a way to spend the last day of being 60… hungover from a lack of sleep. I didn’t go right to sleep last night and the last I saw it was heading towards 2 in the morning. I woke up with a start sometime after 5, took a long time to get back to sleep and then at 7 am my Roomba, James II woke me with a cheery tone as he set about cleaning under my bed. By that point I was so annoyed, I just got up and sat in my chair with drivel on the TV as I drank coffee, had a smoothie and crocheted. I finally felt awake enough to shower and leave. I dropped my recycling, stopped at the office to check my email and then headed to Rotary lunch. I didn’t want to miss it as Jordan Nering was giving a talk about AI. He showed us the live workings of several versions of software. I admit it was pretty informative and scary in the same breath.
Back at the office I worked on free and flat rate work so I could go slow and concentrate more carefully. I got enough done to not feel the day was a right off. Actually, Trudy had supported and encouraged me, last night, to just enjoy and have a slack day, that I deserved it. It wasn’t long into the day that I remembered tomorrow I will be 61. It made me laugh with any of the energy I had left that I may have finally aged out of fun into the wee hours unless I let myself sleep as long as I need to afterward.
I came home and made a good meal with turkey meatballs, and roasted potatoes. It was good comfort food and I have been watching my Apple + shows. First was the most recent episodes of Palm Royale and Loot, now I have started watching For All Mankind. It is a very interesting what if scenario about the Space Race.
I shall head to bed very soon.
