My cold is rather abhorrent, and I'm plowing my way through every kleenex box in the house (of which there are many, because I grew up in a family that doesn't believe in being more than ten feet from one). So, today was rather boring and borderline depressing as a result. I slept until ten, then spent the morning organizing stuff in my kitchen...which mostly meant organizing my tea collection. This was #worthit since I now have a better sense of what delicious teas I have, and what delicious teas I may need to reorder at some point. After all, winter is coming, and since I didn't watch Game of Thrones, I can only assume that that catchphrase actually means "stock up on tea!"
sssanyway. I also took stock of my baking supplies (mostly good, but I need more chocolate chips), made some scrambled eggs and toast, and kept downing emergen-c. I tried to put together my other two barstools - one went together really quickly since I've now figured out a method for it, but the other one was a jhoke because they included the wrong hardware (instead of 4 bolts of one size and 4 bolts of another size, they sent 8 bolts of a completely different size from the other two). Between this and the dented garden stool, there's a reason I'm bougie and don't like to order furniture from cheap online distributors. But I sent an email inquiring about the missing bolts, and the other two stools are really nice, so I'll be happy with this one once I can put it together.
After that, I broke down all the boxes and took them to the garage. Then I meticulously swept the floors, since the silicon desiccant packets helpfully included with the stools had broken and left tiny, foot-impaling spheres of silicon all over my front hall. Somewhere in there I also did several loads of laundry. So, I was thinking of going out at that point since I have barely left the house in three days....but I discovered that I really didn't have the energy for going anywhere.
So, I spent the rest of the late afternoon / evening being completely boring, although I did make some masala chai (since I found some Samovar spices in my tea stash) and journal for a bit, which was good. And now I need to sleep and hope that I am on the road to recovery tomorrow - goodnight!
