Good morning. 🌞🌤️🌦️
6 September 2026
I’ve realized that if I’d stop putting off things that don’t actually need doing right away, I’d probably get a lot more done. I’ve become a master procrastinator. The funny thing is that, up until a few years ago, you might’ve thought I had OCD the way I was always in motion. Now I only spring into action when something feels urgent. I still do a better job than some folks though — I think.
These days I’m more interested in doing what I want to do rather than what I need to do, even if what I want to do is absolutely nothing. Somehow “doing nothing” has climbed pretty high on my list of priorities. In fact, as I’m typing this, I’m thinking about me and Charlie heading out to the porch so I can sit in a rocking chair and sip coffee. Charlie doesn’t rock or sip, of course, but he’s perfectly happy just hanging out with me.
I really should deal with the weeds growing in the gravel around the house. Maybe I’ll wait for winter to kill them off, or maybe I’ll hire someone. God, I’m lazy. I did get out and trim the sidewalks and driveway a few days ago, so that’s something. And today would be the perfect day to pull weeds — the rain loosened everything up. But we’ll see. I’ve already prioritized coffee on the porch.
In the back of my mind there’s a small worry about what happens if something takes me out of the picture and I don’t have everything squared away. But honestly, at that point it becomes somebody else’s problem. I’m not there yet, though, and I’m also not ready to spend whatever time I’ve got left obsessing over chores. I’d rather enjoy the morning, the coffee, and Charlie’s company — weeds be damned.

I think I prefer procrastinating on my PC because when I clean/tidy up files, code etc there, it stays that way - very unlike anything I clean/tidy up in the household

Starting #stouturday with light fare, laundry, and wardriving. Reverse order, of course.
#destihlBrewery Moonjumper milk #stout
A basic milk stout, malty chocolate with a bit of sweetness. Silky mouthfeel but a bit thin.

The mister is off to a black tie event tonight, so I have activated my store of knowledge on the arcane arts of ironing. There is something highly pleasing about getting all those little pleats on the front of a tuxedo shirt neatly and tidily and starchily and crisply in line.
A wise friend of mine asserts that ironing is the best chore: starts off clean, ends up clean. I agree.

'Lewis takes up a debate with several Black feminists who have, at various times, questioned the idea of family abolition, whose central argument has been that, very often, Black families have been sites of resistance against racism. Similarly, we could point to many experiences of class struggle in which sectors of working families have played a key role against the attacks of capital: supporting strikes, establishing relations of solidarity between factories and neighborhoods, staging rent strikes, maintaining soup kitchens, creating movements in defense of public services, and many other forms of resistance. The tradition of “women’s commissions” in strikes, for example, has allowed the working class to articulate fighting forces far beyond the workplace.
'To this criticism Lewis responds that, even so, we should not cease working for the abolition of the family, since we would not need its “protective shield” if we managed to build a society without racism. The argument contains a grain of truth, but it stops halfway. It fails to contemplate the role that the family relations within sectors of the working class and oppressed can play in moments of heightened class struggle. On another level, it doesn’t account for the fact that capitalism, while it needs such a “social cell” for its own reproduction, constantly undermines working families’ very conditions of existence. Marx and Engels remarked on this in the mid-19th century, pointing to the length of the working day, the lack of decent housing, and the general precariousness of working class life.'

Most of my porch furniture has been in the family longer than I.

#Composting #Chores #Useful #MakeDo #YardWork
Compost bin chore done today. Whew. That big wheelbarrow was nearly full of "black gold."
I don't have a proper screen, but three layers of chicken wire catches most of the big stuff. Use what ya got, I say!
Next year, those wood pellet pallets will need replacing, though.
