- If I just did
this entire week with COVID, I'm either a bigger
badass than I thought or we had a pretty small
exposure which our body is knocking out. I'm in bed at
the moment so I'll just write about what this entry
was supposed to be about and leave the COVID shit
for later. Overview video here...
-
-
- So yeah, call this
the week that I realized, unequivocally, it ain't
2012. First week of December I realized this shit was
kicking my ass and figured I'd just knock out alcohol
and be good to go. I mean, I'm sleeping a bit
better so that had to have helped, but yeeeeeeah, not
so much. I'm fat, old and now no longer posioning
myself each night but that wasn't exactly the solution
to my problems. Seems the overweight/age portion is
the real killer. And attempting to focus on a diet and
workout routine in the midst of abject chaos seems
completely futile. It takes so much brain power to
pull that off and I can't let my family operate
in a construction zone any longer than humanly
necessary. We're taking the kids to the mountains on
the 15th (barring an unforseen 2020s life
interruption) and my first day back (1/18) feels like
when I'll have enough of the heavy construction done
to focus on me just a bit. Progress on the studio and
loft will just have to slow down because I
really need to not be this person anymore. Fuck
this beard. Fuck Volume 2 and 2020 Adam. Fuck fuckity
fuck fuck fuck.
-
- These really are
the doldrums of construction because it's layered...
so you don't really feel a sense of accomplishment.
You put a wall up? Hellz yes. The door? That was an
exciting day... but then it's just day after day of
work that soon gets covered up. Like I'm taking all
the cement and old dry wall that I took out to
put in the door and putting it WITHIN my new wall
for soundproofing purposes. That shit takes so long.
And then you cover it up. Step by step... then I'll
eventually finish all of the insulation, then all of
the drywall... and then acoustic tile on top of
that... but it doesn't have that impact that, say -
the framing did. Because your imagination already saw
that once you framed it. Now you just have to catch up
to your imagination. Ugh.
-
- And as you can see
- it's ALLLLLLLLLLL out of order, and not because I'm
an idiot - but because I'm creating on the fly, and I
wasn't even gonna have a finished ceiling until
I decided to make that loft. Then you sit in the
studio with the kids up there and you go: "Oh
fuck, yeah - I need to do everything in my power
to soundproof that." It's this massive
disorganizational nightmare and I very clearly
want it to be over. LOL. Like - fucking hell.
-
- For now I'm going
back to sleep (just had a 90 minute nod-off) and I
guess we'll need to test the kids? Cam had a weird
smell thing earlier... I mean, no need for me and
Talya to run out to get tested as a positive would
change literally nothing in our lives since we stay
home. Ironically now the kids are on the front
lines... but man they're really symptomless. Talya and
I however are having some very familiar post
vaccine symptoms. Anyway - more once there's something
to report.
-
- Ahhh 2022... you
couldn't be easy could ya.
