Today’s photo a day entry is the coffee mug I got from Tuesday’s Yankee Swap at work. It was our first holiday get together (in person) since 2019. I wore a mask the whole time. I was the only one.
I added some grain in Lightroom on my iPad. Pretty lame, eh?
I took a few backyard snow pictures with Dad’s camera. Then I took pretty much the same pictures with my DSLR. Yeah, I am a nerd. An obsessed, uber nerd.
To sum up my morning today…
Christmas has exploded all over my cellar. I’m about 20% of the way through all of the wrapping.
By mid-afternoon I was feeling quite a bit better. Jen finished work a few minutes before 5:00 and asked me to take a ride with her. We got home by about 5:20 and as we were approaching the house my stomach started hurting again. Insert the frustrated sigh here.
It’s starting to feel better again and I think I might try to eat something dinner-ish in another 10 minutes or so and see how that goes. I should probably drink something first as I am feeling pretty dehydrated again. That’s what I was doing when the discomfort started coming back again though so… who the fuck knows.
On a totally unrelated note, I worked on the Great Re-Recording Project of 2015 today. Just a little. I edited one song from a past RPM Challenge and redid the bass and drums. That was nice. I still have eight songs from November to work on, but I figured it would be fun to get back into the re-recording stuff too. Fun, right?
On another unrelated note, the contractors did some painting in the bathroom today and the smell is a bit overpowering, even in the bedroom. I think we’re sleeping in the living room tonight. Jen will get the couch, I’ll get the chair. I plan to think of it like a camping trip. Fun, right?
On a final unrelated note, cat:
The cat is very protective of those batteries that will eventually go into the smoke detector in the cellar.
We got into the car at around noon and headed North to Burlington, VT. We were about 20 miles away when the stomach bug hit for reals and we had to turn around. We are home now and everything is okay. Just taking it easy on the ol’ tummy.
In all of that time I took two pictures with the DSLR and two pictures on film. Wanna see ’em? We were stopped at a gas station.
I drove to Cambridge and back tonight. Three hours. I lost count of how many accidents I got stuck behind. Two of them temporarily closed the road I was on. One of those roads was Storrow Drive. Another was route 93. Hooray.
I took pictures from the car while I was stopped. They are kinda funny.
There were more, but they were even more awfuller. Oh well. At least I’m home. It’s 9:23 and now I can eat dinner. Hooray.
The walk in shower is dead. Long live the closet or whatever is going in it’s place.
Unintentional selfie. Ooops.
There is a sink in our bedroom.
Is this the cause of all of the trouble? Probably.
It’s nice when I can get a photo for the day before I’ve even wiped the sleep from my eyes. Today I went to the cellar to take my vitamins and jog in place for 45 minutes and eat my breakfast and wake myself up. I was downstairs for maybe 10 minutes before Patches and I realized we were both there.
She has taken to hanging out on the beanbag foot stool instead of the beanbag chair itself. Not sure when that happened.
Here is the annual Owl-Ornament-is-the-Highest-Ornament-on-the-Tree-Except-for-the-Star pic.
All of the other pics from today that were taken indoors were in auto mode with the flash on. This one is manual with no flash, but I had to up the ISO to get it.
