I mislaid my fire tongs last night, I couldn’t for the life of me figure out what I’d done with them and had to resort to a trusty stick to jiggle about the embers in the fire, but on cleaning out the the stove this morning, I realised what I’d done with them:
Oops!
Classic absent-mindedness - my unconscious thinks ‘you’ve been poking around in the fire with these, may as well chuck them on’.
This was immediately followed by my chucking the milk I’d just put in my cup for coffee in the sink - thinking the cup was dirty from the night before and needed cleaning, forgetting it was clean and already milked - it wouldn’t have been so bad but I chucked it right on a sponge which I then needed to rinse out, OK a minor thing, but there was a trend mounting here…
About five minutes later, on coming downstairs via my ladder (I don’t have a staircase, I have a ladder) things got a bit more serious as I stepped off the ladder from rung two, rather than rung one and almost fell over in the process, thankfully I didn’t but I did get a bit of a jarring…
I’m not really sure WHAT was going on this morning, but I soldiered on and out of the house, only to turn back one minute down the road to double check I’d turned off the gas fire - I couldn’t remember doing so, but actually I had done this - although I managed to leave my house keys in the car so had to make two trips there.
I think all of this was just a result of being a bit tired mentally and physically, I’ve been ‘on it’ this year so far, so I decided to take it easy on the land today and just did a bit of general tidying around, certainly no burning.
I also decided today WASN'T a good day to move any serious amounts of crypto around or go exploring new projects - when your brain is a bit all over the place, defo good to leave these sorts of things, you’re more likely to send money to the wrong place or fall for scams.
‘Thankfully’ the markets are saying ‘just hold those stables for now and be patient’ so this isn’t a bad place to be in right now, necessarily.
Sometimes, on days like these, one just has to take it easy which is what I’ve done.
I might even look into taking a holiday, at the very least I'll eat some PIZZA later.
