I have the worst sinus pressure headache right now. Fuck this weather. Back in the hundreds this week. Of course the hottest day will be when I have to be onsite. Here I thought I might be able to put away the AC units. No such luck. I must melt first.

I decided to focus on physical projects yesterday. Things I could throw myself into and completely distract myself from the world. We now have the cleanest fucking garage ever. I also used the opportunity to throw away parts of the past. I got rid of my ottoman I have been refusing to let go of for 2 years. I got rid of 4 bags of clothing. A lamp. Other stuff. There's a goodwill nearby here that just got some new stuff added. Someone is about to have some very nice shoes and clothes if they know what they're looking at. I don't need any of it. It's been sitting in boxes in a garage. It hasn't impacted my life in anyway. It's just fucking stuff. The less stuff I have the easier it is.

The biggest leap was getting rid of my leather chair. It was way past its prime and I was just holding on to it because I am a fucking idiot. But we didn't just throw it away. No, B is going to use the leather itself. We stripped the leather off the chair and got rid of the frame. Some of the leather isn't any good, but there's enough to make slippers, some pillows, etc. I let go while being able to keep a memory.

Keeping memories isn't a bad thing as long as they don't hold you down.

We ate at a McCormick's last night. I had $25 on my account and we both wanted protein. B had steak. I had salmon. Was acceptable.

Problem news? I have used 90% of my available data plan for this month. Comcast sent me a nastygram telling me I was about to hit my cap and about to start getting billed. Fucking lovely. I have to make it all week with 100gb of data. Yeah, like that's going to happen. I have to hold off on downloading anything until I am onsite at a client this week. How fucked up is that?
