Shelter-in-Place Journal, Day 147

We keep both of our cars in the garage – they fit, but there’s not a lot of room to move around in there. The last time I drove my car, I happened to park it a bit farther from the wall than usual – nearly three feet between the car and the shelves I’ve been planning to organize forever.

This morning, we had to leave Diane’s car outside when we got home from our trainer because our landscaper was working on the sprinkler system. After he left, I took advantage of having easy access to the sides of the garage and got to work.

I got rid of a lot of old plant labels and the temporary pots the plants came in, boxed up my collection of water-saving shower heads and aerators, as well as corralling all of our miscellaneous irrigation parts. I did some other consolidation, too.

I only spent about an hour on it before the garage got too hot to work in, but I feel like I made great progress, and I haven’t even started to use the containers I bought at the Container Store last year!

In other news, a spammer tried to comment on the blog today, with a comment that said nothing but looked plausible; the goal was to get me to link to their website. I used to get a lot of such spam attempts; this is the first one that’s gotten as far as my inbox in quite a while. I guess writing steadily builds an audience!

Shelter-in-Place Journal, Day 146

We watched one of our saved National Theatre broadcasts this afternoon – Amadeus. It was excellent and makes me want to see the movie again; we haven’t seen it since it was first released in 1984. The details have faded from my memory; in fact, I remember more about the theatre where we saw it than about the film!
