dirty power in california

liminal_spaceevery day around 3ish, we have had power issues. not brown outs, but the draw is too much for sensitive electronics, so UPS things go nuts. because of that, we shut things down and just chill...which isn't necessarily a horrible thing. BUT i have boards to do, so it messes with my "do them whenever" mindset. little mister dog woke up at 5 and i should have just started boards then, but there was a dead mouse in the office and i just didn't want to deal. instead, i went in the living room and watched youtube videos (today i learned how to make a squid and clam pancake, thanks to my korean youtuber bff).
before mister got up, i made coffee, and made a breakfast using my $9 tomato (i figure that's the price after i factor in water, soil, fertilizer, and the plant lol) of medium egg, kewpie mayo, whole grain toast, and the tomato. i'm going to say this: that tomato may have cost a fortune, but it was D>E>L>I>C>I>O>U>S. seriously.

the melatonin i'm taking is working wonders for me. i am on about 3mg a night and it not only helps me fall asleep, but it helps me STAY asleep. praise the lort. i'm also taking a bevy of vitamins and herbs (today is my 11 day streak!), so that may factor in, too. i don't care...i just am happy things are the way they are. i think if i tossed some CBD in the mix, it would be even better...but i really only move that into the equation when i'm super stressed or my shoulder hurts to the point i can't get comfortable. neither of those things have been factors in over a month now. woot.
speaking of cbd (and its friend, thc), getting weed in HS was always so fucking hard -- and what we got was always sketchy at best (one time i swear to you, there was catnip in it). anyway, up here in the mountains? all my friends have prescription cards and get pretty good stuff and talk about the different strains with a connoisseur's knowledge.

today is not a super busy day in the scheme of things:
[ ] i need to make up what i didn't engrave yesterday and TRY and get 10 additional ones finished.
[ ] wash and dry the bedding (we are not allowed to dry things on clothes lines here due to HOAs, but i wish i could -- save electricity + the smell of sun-dried sheets...heaven) (i could probably get away with drying things a bit at a time outside, if i could figure out how to do it -- we dry horse blankets outside every year)
[ ] 1500ish words on the manuscript
still too hot to really cook, so mister bought premade mashed potatoes and as a treat, i'm making us hot roast beef sandwiches tonight. i'm already over the roast, so once they're made, the rest goes in the freezer. bye bye roast!

yoti the rescue dog needs to gain weight and i have not been able to make it happen. i can fatten a pet up super fast, so i see this as a personal failure. she doesnt' have worms, she is just greyhound thin and ACTIVE like a parkour marathon runner. weirdo dog.

& today's music is from an album that has a title which would never fly today....
