Learning to relax

[cjsmith]

After I'd been twelve hours in the queue for a scarce resource at work, the whole queue imploded as the last one went offline this morning. So for the rest of the weekend... I get to... relax?

Decluttered a bit. Wow, is there ever a lot of cruft in this place.

Did a donations run, mostly old clothes that my chest will never fit into again. That felt good.

Did some weeding. Ahhh, gardening! My tomato plant overwintered pretty well (!! California!) so I merely gave it a good pruning. I have some cilantro coming up, both indoors (sprouting from last year's seeds) and outdoors (two tiny hardy souls that survived outdoors somehow). I've got some jwala peppers in seed trays by the window; they'll get transplanted in a month or so if they germinate. Not bad.

Cooked a batch of meals for the week. I love my instant pot.

I am pleased to report that after some six years or so, two of my elderly cats have learned to use the cat flap out to the little catio. That means I don't have to tape it open all the time. Awesome!

Now what? What do people DO with themselves when they're blocked at work? Am I joining the set of people who are able to have a hobby?
