On my way back from shopping yesterday I noticed the lunch truck that stops in front of the complex was there so I got a half burrito for another $2 and came in here and ate it with hot sauce. I'm not sure which food item I got from there disagreed with me, but felt kind of crappy and had to blow my nose a lot.
I was up until close to 6 in the morning between packing a ton of packages to stay ahead of shipping, and finding and listing 10 things on Ebay. Dinner was short neck clams I'd bought a bag of at H Mart, with some fresh green beans and garlic, simmered in a broth using sake, a little shoyu and a little mirin. It was pretty good.
Because I was up until almost 6AM and because I'd drank a bit less than the night before, I woke up around 9 then went back to sleep until noon. I had a headache and a cough and very cautiously had some tea, coffee, aspirin, and some raw sunflower seeds.
I loaded up the bike and got on the road at 2. Actually being out in the sun and the wind seemed to make me feel better. The going was very slow due to the wind. The drop-offs went smoothly and I found a fair amount of packing materials too.
Back here, I nibbled on things like natto, more seeds, raw peanuts, etc. I got my stuff together and actually did a haircut. The trouble's been, I've waited too long between cuts. I need to make it a streamlined process that I do every few weeks, because I've been letting my hair get long enough that I have to "clear the underbrush" using a longer clipper shoe before getting down to business with the #2 and #1. And then I need to shave my neck, because for some reason the hairs that grow there are clipper-proof. But I got it done and it's a great feeling.
I also vacuumed the shop and cleaned the bathroom, and got stuff out of the warehouse that had sold, plus cooking up a bowl of clam and green bean miso soup and eating that for dinner and did the dishes before Ken was due to show up - in case he was showing to tonight. But he didn't. This is exactly the right way to do things, though. Clean the office and bathroom, take a thorough bath, which I had right after the haircut, and then things are optimal if Ken shows up Tuesday or Wednesday.
Hell, I even found time to put all the Motorola stuff, radios and walkie-talkies and mics, etc., in one area in one of the cabinets with some motors. Motors, Motorolas; it all makes sense.
