I have spent a large part of the day listening, using my shuffle's newfound ability to play podcasts to listen through a whole lot of CocoaCast talk episodes. I've also cooked, made an apple pie, washed up and ... not much else. I've listened on couches, on the balcony, while doing the other things and while walking.
In all, hanging around a few different places and just listening is perhaps the best part of it. When you stand on the balcony in the sun without doing anything at all your brain tends to start thinking about things you could be doing. Something to listen to seems to remove that, at least a bit.
Adjacent thought: more music around our home might be a great overall idea.
Adjacent thought: there are a bunch of video podcasts too. With a touch or iPhone, I could consume these on the balcony as well ...
Adjacent thought: all those hours in a row is possibly not the best way to consume ... anything really. Still need to work on my sometimes frenzied consumption pattern when it comes to media.
But hey
at least I didn't try to do anything else
at the same time.
I seem to have avoided pretty much all Sunday angst. And this without really even getting out of the apartment much. But the whole second half of next week will be full of people and interaction, so any and all socialization quotas will be filled then.
I also feel I got things done on Saturday, that probably also helpedin avoiding Sunday angst. I think we're making good progress with our wallpaper maculation, and all of a sudden we also started having plenty of redecoration ideas and started getting more things out of the way than we need just for the wallpaper work.
So it's all good. Looking forward to the coming week.
