Productivity and progress.

12/6/19

(Above: The northwest fluorescent light shining on some particularly fresh paint.)

Active Summary: Today began with a yet another frosty beef pasture check*, and was then followed by an assortment of tasks. These tasks included: creative writing (revision) for over an hour, ordering a dehumidifier / coat hooks / freezer room ballast on Amazon, performing Jacobhouse’s weekly cleaning, and venturing down to the farm market where I procured our weekly produce. The morning ended with my putting the fruit and vegetables away at Old-house and removing large garbage bags (presumably filled with their namesake) from the garage.

(7:07 PM Update:) This afternoon I helped with a few cattle-related activities, checked the beef pasture with Padre, and then made my way to the freezer room where I commenced to add a second coat to about half of the remaining ceiling.

TIL: Today, after seeing that there was mildew beginning to grow between the window panes above the front A/C unit, I learned that I could easily clean between them by unfastening and tilting the lower pane backward (the same way that I had to remove the screen). Though not the most interesting lesson, it did/shall make for a much cleaner window.

Commentary: I don’t really have much commentary today other than it was fairly enjoyable with plenty of high-quality food**, productivity, and progress.  Also, I suppose I could mention that I’ve been listening to Tchaikovsky*** as of late. He has only granted me more appreciation for the Russian culture (which has already been vastly improved by Tolstoy’s War and Peace.)

Final Note: Later today and tomorrow morning, I intend to continue painting the freezer room. After I have finished with the ceiling, I will tend to the front doors.

*Ironically, this was the only morning of the past three mornings where there was no frost on the ground.

** For lunch, Padre made a delectable salad from fresh Farm Market vegetables, and I made a shrimp / jalapeno / shallot / Parmesan omelet. Dinner will consist of some homemade lasagna leftovers, and in my opinion, leftover lasagna is often better than when it is first served.

*** Pas de Deux and Hymn of the Cherubim being some of the more noteworthy compositions. The latter piece is especially unique in the way that it uses no other instrument aside from the human voice.
