Spiderweb of Flourish

ismoI'm just having a series of unsatisfactory days. Which would be unsurprising, based on the news alone, which I'm trying to avoid. This weather . . . I just can't enjoy it. Last night I observed that the remaining dregs of popcorn in the container in the pantry had outlived their official usefulness in 2019. So I decided to cook all the rest of it and eat most of it while watching "Sense and Sensibility" again. This wasn't particularly helpful, but at least I didn't get any worse and more cranky. Tonight I suggested using up the corned beef that had been in the freezer by chopping it up and serving it with the bag of frozen hash browns that had also been in there during the last round of dubiously starting to unfreeze. They cooked up okay, thanks to the Sparrowhawk who decided he would do it. Also some scrambled eggs. There seems to be a theme here, of consuming dubious edibles before they actually go over the cliff. Much like my mood.
Last night I woke up at 4 and couldn't go back to sleep, for the first time in awhile. Ugh, misery. After it got light, I took another nap, but it wasn't very restful. I dreamed I was at a small, not very satisfactory con, where I didn't see anyone I know, lost my phone, and was late for work. And then the very loud lawnmowing crew next door started up, so end of nap. I tried to read various books but couldn't get interested. We had a nice Zoom with friends. Later I cleaned the kitchen, partially cleaned the bathroom, packed up some hiking boots that Tron wants to take off my hands, and edited another chapter of the OCR version of the novel I'm digitizing. Better than nothing, I guess, but I can't care very much.
