Good morning. ☕☕☕
12 March 2026
Yesterday morning, Charlie and I got our walk in, but once we came home, the motivation evaporated. I didn’t feel like doing anything else, so I didn’t. I spent most of the day in my chair getting my “recline workout,” which is a routine I’ve been trying to curb because I can think of plenty of things that actually need doing. But it was a rainy afternoon—thunder, lightning, and all the accoutrements—so the chair won that round.
I did manage to mop the kitchen floor, which should count for something… although “mop” might be generous. I dropped the Braava Jet in the middle of the room, pressed the clean button, and returned to my chair. It’s not a miracle worker, but it did wipe up Charlie’s muddy paw prints.
When Charlie comes in from the rain, I usually tell him to get in his bed so he can blot off the wet before roaming the house. Yesterday, though, he decided he had more pressing business at his food station. I wasn’t in the mo

Yesterday morning, Charlie and I got our walk in, but once we came home, the motivation evaporated. I didn’t feel like doing anything else, so I didn’t. I spent most of the day in my chair getting my “recline workout,” which is a routine I’ve been trying to curb because I can think of plenty of things that actually need doing. But it was a rainy afternoon—thunder, lightning, and all the accoutrements—so the chair won that round.
I did manage to mop the kitchen floor, which should count for something… although “mop” might be generous. I dropped the Braava Jet in the middle of the room, pressed the clean button, and returned to my chair. It’s not a miracle worker, but it did wipe up Charlie’s muddy paw prints.
When Charlie comes in from the rain, I usually tell him to get in his bed so he can blot off the wet before roaming the house. Yesterday, though, he decided he had more pressing business at his food station. I wasn’t in the mood for a showdown, so I let him have his way.
Today I actually have to leave the house, which is probably for the best. It forces me out among the masses and reminds me that other humans exist. I don’t think my car has moved since our trip to Arkansas a couple of weeks ago. It’s not that I don’t want to go anywhere—I just can’t think of anywhere I need to go. Modern delivery services have spoiled me; if I need something, I just have it brought to the door.
I do need to make a Goodwill run. There’s a large box in the laundry room where we toss things we no longer use, and it’s full. The problem is getting it to the truck. The box is unwieldy, so I’ll have to break it down into manageable loads. But the recliner usually gets in the way of that plan.
“The best thing one can do when it’s raining is to let it rain.” — Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
