procrastination
A very slow starting day, I was sleepy when we woke, and stayed tired for hours. Instead of working I found myself procrastinating with useful tasks that have nothingto do with work, like updating GnuCash with the money I spent while travelling.
Eventually, I ate lunch and took a short nap on the couch. When I woke I contemplated just calling it a sick day.
suddenly productive
So I sat at the computer, saw the file my colleague gave me, and started making a report of the terms that appear in the “species” column of the data set, which ones are for plants and animals already in the database, and which are new, and what terms are neither plant nor animal, and we might consider a different column for that info.
Before I knew it, I was 100% focused on working, taking careful notes about what and how. By the time I noticed being tired again I had accomplished 8.5 hours of actual work. (Keldor had gotten home long before, and had bern naping in front of a movie.)
the rest of the evening
After putting down the computer, I helped Keldor unload the four new concrete pillar bases he bought second hand today. That brings us to nine total (the others we bought second hand last year), so we may have enough for the deck now.
Then I took a little time to relax before yoga. The cats helped.
Now it is nearly 23:00, and I had better pack my folk dance stuff and get some slerp, so we can hit the road early tomorrow.
