“Remoted – Hybrid” – Day 684 (Wednesday)

The office-office day featured a slice of leftover plain pizza from the home freezer for lunch, and there were cupcakes for a Boss birthday, plus dried fruits and caramel.

There was a spontaneous research project that started with a simple question along the lines of “can you find out ..” It was heaven, looking through records and logging info in a spreadsheet and then sorting said info in said spreadsheet. Maybe it was fun because I’m a dork with a weird sense of entertainment, but the time flew by. The answer to the question that prompted the search was 2014. A few more tasks were tackled, and suddenly, it was 4:00. 

The just past 5:00 light.
It was one of the best work days in ages. And the icing on the day? It was still light out at 5:00. We have turned the corner and the light is noticeably longer, which is nearly as good as the icing on the carrot cake birthday cupcake I had at the office. 

At home, supper was more of the homemade healthy tomato vegetable soup, with a sprinkle of shredded cheddar and a handful of corn chips. It was followed by too many more of the less healthy handfuls of corn chips. Damn you, fresh bag of Fritos.

The current streaming show was “A Discovery of Witches” on Prime which would be more interesting if it wasn’t basically just a giant stupid romantic drama. I need more relatable shows – you know, about cranky middle-aged people. Bonus points if they mutter when trash from the neighbors blows in their yard every day and they yell at other drivers in traffic when said other drivers twice sit through half a green light cycle during the ride home.

Worse, the dumb “contemporary love story” on Prime has a charge to see Seasons 2 and 3. No thanks, I’m good. Had I read the series info in advance I would have been spared some angst about both the plot line (more love story than witch action, ewwww) and the news that only Season 1 is free on Prime.

It’s now onward and upward (or maybe sideways), to “Love Type D,” a movie about hard luck losers in love. Sadly, this I can relate to. At least it’s a lighthearted treatment of the malady.
