Helter skelter, Mind F

Man it felt like the weekend was a big disjointed mess, a feeling I never enjoy.  On Saturday morning after doing some chores running errands I headed to my accountants place.  She had been asking me for several months if I could stop out to look at stuff for her.  I felt badly that I had forgotten about it, especially since her husband had died so unexpectedly a couple years ago.  I wound up walking out of there with a bunch of old equipment she no longer needed or wanted, most of it I will recycle but there is a printer that we will be giving to Katie.  I was able to address the issues she had, I wish I would have done it sooner.

So by the time I got home it was after three but I had it in my head that I needed to get the weed whacking done.  It had not been done for weeks and it showed.  I didn’t get out in the yard until probably closer to 4:15.  I worked straight into darkness to finish up.  The session was very annoying because of some issues I am having with my grass trimmer, it only wants to stay running in the choked position.  I got sick of f’ing with it and switched to the electric trimmer which I had to refill twice with trimmer line and swap out batteries twice as well.  When I whacked the last weed I was very frustrated.

So Saturday night I looked forward to relaxing while watching a movie we rented, Tenet.  This movie made headlines as being one of the first to go into theaters after covid started.  I recalled hearing/reading positive things about it.  It didn’t take long for me to question these positive statements. I found the movie utterly stupid.  I had a very hard time understanding much of the dialogue because of the accents of some of the main characters.  The plot whipped back and forth nonsensically, at least to me.  I would love to hear someone explain how/why they liked the film.  It seemed confusing just for the sake of being confusing.  I don’t give out many D ratings but Tenet went there for me.

On Sunday I wanted to try to get some of my things in order. I had stuff haphazardly laying around various spots in the house which bugs the hell out of me.  I got stuff sorted, organized and put away, at least to some degree.  During the afternoon we met up with Deb to do a little ride around at the school, which was fun despite the rather chilly, by Florida standards, temperatures.

I also shot a video talking about my first year with the whole house solar system.  The cliff notes version is I did not break even from a power perspective like I hoped.  In total I wound up paying for about 5000KWH of usage, a far cry from what I used to pay but still, a bit annoying.

I spent a good portion of Sunday evening editing the two above videos as well as binge watching a few Cobra Kai episodes with Cindy.  This week is looking rather busy, I feel like I have a lot of balls in the air.
