228th day sober. After listing 20 things on Ebay last night, I did some practice which didn't go that great. I think it's because I skipped a day or two, and that weird thing where I went to the post office etc at around 9AM and slept afterward.
I woke up at around 3, and had hardly slept - too much coffee is my excuse. I keep forgetting to alternate every cup of coffee with a cup of green tea.
So I didn't feel up to going downtown and putting my check in the bank and do tons of "provisioning" at a number of stores. So instead I packed about 5 or 6 things and went to the post office and FedEx. On the way back I stopped at H Mart for some things, and one of the things I got was a little dish of salmon sashimi which I ate at one of the outdoor tables by the Starbucks. And I was reminded by basically nobody does this after dark. As soon as I'd settled down to eat, a zombie came staggering by. "Wud'ge ye git fer dinner? Sumpin' gud?" the zombie said. I gave it an icy glare and said nothing, and fortunately the zombie just resumed staggering along in the direction it was headed. I'd instantly regretted not having a weapon handy. And if I'd wanted to eat something right away, I should have gotten one of the little chicken and rice things the noodle place inside H Mart had, and eaten that at one of the tables in there.
I got back here and put things away and put some trash into various cans and dumpsters around here, and plunged the toilet which I'm having to do quite a bit. Indoor plumbing is a big high-tech for Silicon Valley. I don't put anything solid down the toilet, not toilet paper or anything, a precaution one does in any third-world country, and it still clogs up somehow.
The main news on the radio today is how everyone's getting coronavirus. Sports events and all sorts of things with crowds all jamming into buildings together keep being held, and no one can figure out why so many people are catching coronavirus. The damned thing is just much smarter than Americans and this is a little particle that many will argue is not even alive.
I did various things like pack things, get a batch of Ebay things ready to list, answer customer questions and problem-solve, and in the end developed a headache that sent me right to bed at 7AM. No practice, sadly.
However, I am considering buying the Cichowitz "Flow Studies" book because I found some being played on YouTube and they look like good exercise and sound nice.
