today was rather randomish in tasks and results.
skipping the mundane stuff i got some limes out and got them reduced to a mash of pulp and juice. using the stick blender on them after peeling them. the hardest parts of the limes are the skins and bits of pulp attached to the ends. the stick blender has slots which tend to get plugged up by this stuff and i pull it out and chew on it to get all the juice out of it and then swallow it to add to whatever fiber of my being it needs to join.
[spider hunting comes next - skip if you don't like spiders or stories about them]
washing those dishes up then i could get a break of sorts before doing a bit of cleaning and spider hunting (dual tasks combined into one thing i dislike the most, raising dust...). i did not find any spiders in my room at all, the task was to move and dust a small bookcase and look under it for spiders. i saw the webs, and they were the right (or wrong) kind of webs indicating the common house spider that has seemed to take on the dimensions of the spiders in The Hobbit... i got the stuff off and out of the bookcase and dusted it and then moved it and found an egg sac but no spider. this has been the trend lately. the spiders either move on or they have died off. egg sac removed and discarded, book case restored to where it belonged after all webs cleaned up and floor dusted (it was actually pretty good - i'm proud of myself for how well i've done for the 7-10 years that bookcase has been sitting there at how clean it was underneath).
then i went on to check under the futon for any spiders. all clear other than some dust bunnies and a few webs, but nothing that turned out to be an active spider of any kind. this is good, there's a lot of spots for spiders to hide under there.
and then i went on with hunting a spider in Mom's room which i did find and removed and cleaned up the webs, no egg sac for this one so it was either a juvenile or a male.
[spider stuff done]
there was also some spots on the floor that looked too much like mold to me so i bleached them and will look at it tomorrow.
since then i've watched videos about electrons, atoms, the most ancient names that we think we know are names, a star orbiting a black hole and some other things that might have stuck in my brain, but i wouldn't count on it...
i also read two books the past several days and while i was at first not sure i was going to finish the first book, i did and i'm glad i persisted because then i could read the 2nd which i considered an improvement. i like finding stories which can take me away from this simple life to more complicated places. i need things that exercise my imagination and movies don't do that for me as compared to a good book.
so they both (Mom and my brother) think that was me in the red plaid... yes, the brain damage was there before i got into weed...
