Pointless Plans and a Hello
Considering what’s going on outside my window, I ended up spending quite a lot of time this week making plans for things that’ll almost certainly never become reality, such as the house I’d like to live in and the garden I’d like to have. Of course, I regularly spend a good part of my time making impossible plans and it’s hardly the first time I focus on these particular ones either, but this time I was particularly thorough, looking up information about plants and planting and actually getting around to drawing the house plans. Good thing, actually, seeing as that made me aware of some serious problems my last stable plan had, which I had somehow missed while I was only relying on mental images, and I came up with something that’s definitely better. Unfortunately, it’s also 25% bigger, taking it from just below what I’d consider optimal for two people to the top of that range, but it doesn’t exceed it, so it’s still fine.
There are some more immediate plans as well, still related to what’s going on outside, but since they’d require getting out there and doing things I’ll be seen doing and asked about, they’re extremely unlikely to become reality as well. Unlike the house and garden ones, they’re not entirely impossible, but I’ll be very surprised if any of them will come to fruition, whether I have anything to do with it or, most probably, not. Most likely, nothing good will happen this year either, what was nice about this place continuing to degrade, which has been steadily happening for the past few years.
Otherwise, I seem to only be capable of writing serious non-personal posts if they stem from an argument on an important issue, and I didn’t exactly have any of those this week, so I’m not entirely sure what I’ll be writing about over the weekend. I had some things to add to the previous post, had actually been ready to write a second part to it on Monday, but my Internet access was down a good part of the day then, the people from the network I’m now in saying they suspect RDS had a hand in it, so I put the idea away then and didn’t get back to it since, seeing as it wasn’t a current argument anymore. It’s still the best chance I have to actually write something, however, so unless something else happens to pop up once again, that may well be what I’ll end up doing, albeit knowing it’ll end up worse than what I’d have written then.
Yes, I know I still have that post about the computer upgrade plans pending, but quite frankly there’s too little to say about it now that I largely switched next year’s plans to this year and pushed what was originally planned for this year to the next. And that’d just be another personal post anyway, and I don’t want to have two of those in the same week. I have plenty of “slots” left for it, sure, but I’d rather not use them up unless there’s no other way.
And last but not least, judging by the logs, somebody sure seems to have found me yesterday, so hello there. Saw anything particularly interesting? Is it safe to assume we used to know each other?
