Nice cold Monday

 Up at 7:45. I'd gone to bed around 1 or 2, watching videos and drinking too much sake, maybe 450ml. It's still not as bad as the ravages of the vodka, though. 

I'd had that bento and later, for dinner, a "teriyaki chicken leg" which seems to be a holiday thing at Nijiya. 

For some reason, even with a fan blowing on it since I'd hung it up, all of my laundry was still not dry - there are two pairs of socks and a pair of sweat pants still drying. If it's touching the 30's outdoors overnight it's not much warmer in the loft. This is why I sleep downstairs in the office. It's quieter and easier to keep a livable temperature. 

One video I watched last night was about how slums, favelas, whatever you call them, are the future. It showed how in the development of cities, you often had something like a slum first: mining camps, various workers' camps, etc. I'm reminded of the Little House On The Prairie books where they lived in such things as a "dugout" in the dirt. Quite an interesting documentary. 

I did a few exercises, had my tea and natto and almonds, caught up on Ebay stuff, and eventually got a load of laundry started consisting of my towel, one of my knit caps and my beloved orange jacket which was starting to get a bit grubby especially on the cuffs. The towel was at the point where I felt like I was dirtying myself with it rather than cleaning myself with it. 

After some lunch I got out the boxes and boxes of smaller project boxes, about 140 of them all told, sorted and counted them, and moved some heavy shit around to come up with a really good place on the pallet racking to store them. And listed them on Ebay. 

Also while I waited for water to boil I got out the Ebay things I ought to pack today. I didn't pack them, but I have them right at hand, and I did pack one thing that would be "overdue" if I let it go until tomorrow. I also cut up the large boxes they were packed because those were of low-quality cardboard I'd not want to use, stuffed the pieces in one box, and stuck that out in the trash enclosure for now.

Cold and foggy Friday

 I woke up around 11, and even around noon it's foggy and dark.  I should mention that "dead internet theory", the theory that...
