shadowkatI woke up earlier than expected, considering I didn't make it to bed until 1, or asleep until 2. I blame the sparkling wine, and the fact that I read about politics two hours earlier - which managed to wire me.
It's a gloomy day today. Overcast. In the upper 30s and low 40s. It started raining now. And is supposed to rain most of the weekend - which will frustrate any efforts on my part to walk and get exercise. I kind of envy the college acquaintance on FB that is swimming every day in the freezing cold waters of the Bay, wherever she lives - its either CT, VT, Maine, or New Hampshire. It may actually be one of the islands off of Mass. Not that I see myself pressing my body into a wetsuit and swimming in freezing cold waters, my face chaffed by the wind. I'd actually prefer to walk to be honest.
The internet bombards me with others opinions, activities, etc - whether I want to see them or not. Sometimes I miss the days in which I was pleasantly oblivious. [Of course I get to bombard people with my own - so..there's that.]
I need to finish binge-watching Bridgerton, before the internet ruthlessly spoils me with its desire to critique it. I got distracted by "The Great Pottery Throw-Down" (which no one else was watching, thankfully) and "His Dark Materials" (which I finished finally).
A spot of good news. My apartment complex is not going to increase my rent to reflect the cost of the kitchen rewiring and new elevator improvement. Apparently their request to increase rent was only for those apartments renting below a certain amount. If you are above it, no problems. This means I don't have to do anything about it. So, 2021 is turning out to be slightly better than 2020 already. Fingers crossed that it continues.
I'm aggravated today for some reason or other. Possibly lack of sleep. Or a period that can't decide if it wants to come or not. So PMS may be involved.
I'll stop now, before I whine about something I'll regret later.
Off to make dinner, watch Bridgerton, and maybe have a cocktail.
