Unemployment
Today I find myself unemployed...technically. My last day was yesterday, and I don't start the new job until Monday. I am therefore unemployed for the Day of the Dead holiday, which is today and tomorrow. I recently listened to a podcast about the tradition, and I like it. I do not intend to start practicing it this weekend but I can appreciate the culture and the way they remember their past relatives. Man this paragraph took a total 90 degree turn.
I didn't ride a bike today because my left knee is in a total and complete shit state. It's not unlike it was last year during 1 week of ski season. Last year it just...got better. Earlier this year it was the right knee but at a much lesser severity. This time it's back to the left, and it blows. Instead, we walked the dog, then I spent 3 hours sanding and sealing the new front porch we had put on. That was 4 hours of doing stuff which is enough of not sitting down doing nothing. I fully intend to sit down and do a lot of nothing this evening.
I also got the Brussels kit yesterday so I started that. Might take a while.
The weather isn't very amenable to sitting on the porch, so we won't really take advantage of this until next year. Sixer & Matty and 1 of their helpers put this together and it came out great. We just dumped the sealant on it to help prevent it from rotting, which was the fate of the last porch. This has been a long time in coming. You can probably say the money that was earmarked for Ohio State went into this. I see they beat PSU again today, no surprise.
Anyway, enjoy the porch.
