Drifting toward normality
Oct. 7th, 2018 09:27 amSome matters I say little about here: for example, ( the past year's principal stressors. ) A side effect has been that sometimes I would not manage to get to sleep before midnight and, more commonly, I would irreversibly awaken after 4am or 5am or so: thinking or worrying about what was going on with troubling matters would wake me right up.
Just lately I seem to be ( sleeping better. )
I am also starting to return to long-postponed computing-related to-do's. The last couple of weekends I have looked at getting NetBSD 8.0 onto a desktop system. It has been fairly painless for remote servers but ( taken rather more time on the desktop. )
Today I shall put NetBSD aside for more urgent to-do's: a bit of investment strategy investigation and returning to trying to fill in my ballot paper for the midterms despite difficulty in researching each option.
I do have backlog from my troubling past year: for example, the crab-apple tree and hedge are well overdue for pruning (however, at least for the former, now is not the time), the outdoor bench has not received any teak oil for ages, the television antenna still remains carefully balanced atop cardboard boxes, etc. Even without those extra to-do's my typical normality is not sufficiently productive on a personal front. I get paid work and sleep and ongoing household management done. However, progress on personal career matters and domestic chores (window cleaning, etc.) and suchlike largely fails to fit into my remaining productive time.
