The last side

Last night after work I installed a Ring camera on my north property line between my house and the neighbors. I have every other side of the property monitored. Recent history has made this hole in my coverage more apparent so it was good to get that addressed. Installation took all of five minutes. I have installed so many Ring cameras in my lifetime I can practically do them in my sleep.

Despite technically being limited in what I am supposed to be doing activity-wise since I had the procedure last week I have started doing more regular things. At the gym yesterday I did my full stretching/bodyweight routine as well as lifting some light weights. My body at this point is feeling pretty normal which I am happy about. I felt good enough to get a 100 pound plus wheel back into it’s shipping box last night but that is part of a story for another day.

Yesterday FB showed me a “memory” of a picture of the last TV I bought for the old house, a monster 70 inch LG that was in the living room. Having a huge TV was always important to me as I used to watch a lot of it. However since I have moved things have changed. The TV I have in the main living space of my place is only 50 inches and is not viewed often. Nowadays if I am watching anything at length it almost exclusively happens in my bedroom where I actually have a slightly larger 55 inch unit.

I used to DVR all sorts of programming and I felt obligated to make sure I consumed it all. With modern day streaming I can pull whatever shows I want whenever I want so it the urgency to watch shows has faded away. I watch next to no conventional network programming at this point outside of sports. My life has been just fine without it.

It’s one of many changes in behavior, habits, and thinking that have transpired in the last couple years…
