A Productive Day

OMG! Where did August go? I was just talking about the "end of summer" with someone the other day and now it's more like "the beginning of autumn" that we have to start thinking about. A friend of mine in Europe that I was talking to said they'd just finished gathering firewood in preparation for the cold season. They do that in his farming village where many people still use wood to heat their homes. Some of them are lucky enough to have wood on their land. Others have to purchase it.

Anyhow I too have been on my feet all day today. I took the day to clear out my old workspace, which I gave up for my parents to stay in, now that I got it back. It's amazing how much work it takes to move things out, wash everything, move things in and out of storage and set things all up again. I've got about half of it done now, but I'm able to at least use it for work, even though the room is still in a terrible state. The idea is that I've got all the important bits done, and I have my computer set up with my cameras in place, but the rest of the space is full of junk. I will clear those out slowly when I get the time.

I didn't realise that I had been on my feet for more than 6 hours straight with no rest. I started noticing it when I felt a dull ache of fatigue around my calves which forced me to sit down and take a minute. At that point I decided to wrap things up for the day.

Here's the shocking part. I hope you're sitting down. I've had no coffee yet today! I know, it's a scandal. That shall be rectified briefly :)

I'd say it's been a productive day. I didn't go for my regular exercise walk, but I reckon I walked even longer than normal back and forth, up and down stairs today. So, yea, productive day 👍

Peace & Love,
