last week i didn't get much done. so today i will try to be productive. worked 6 hours yesterday.
today i made a list, washed dishes took a bath did laundry went to the bank and hardware store. deposited $638. paid $100 on my electric bill.
next i need to clean the van, clean the stairs, clean the front steps, make a better list.
look for my phone, try to find a usb cable to see if i can charge my old laptop that way. work on memos.
so instead of working the list i'm gonna head downtown to see oppenheimer on the big screen.
paid around $300 on my credit cards, including lawyer dues for the year.

wednesday i didn't do my zoom meeting, or finish cleaning the van, or check on the pt cruiser, or take the bike or the lawnmower to the shop, or do any memos.
but i went to a meeting at work, and did plasma +100, took out the trash, went to church but no one there, got groceries, cleaned the van slightly, looked at a couple properties,
picked up trash along the sidewalk outside work, which i've been meaning to do, got a coffee at mcdonalds
it's hot and i'm lazy so i'm not cleaning the van or the stairs or the kitchen. but today felt productive.
thursday i didn't get out of bed except to go to the comedy show as a customer. the ventrilloquist came over and said hi; we haven't really talked before. but the club owner backed up her manager's
decision to ban me. it was one of the politest arguments i've had in a long time. $28.

a week later. i've gotten almost nothing done. wednesday i bought some stuff at an auction, $54, thursday and friday i picked it up. friday i made a scrap run, $29.
i've been having some medical issues. urine was pink, then orange, hurts when i pee, which is often. i just realized these little orange drinks i have have turmeric, which explains the orange color.
so no more of those. if i wake up today i'll go to gencon. i got to the state fair after 8 pm so they wouldn't let me in, then i lost my car and walked around a while till i found it.
no progress on cases or memos this week. i did a slight bit of van cleaning. i have a bucket of water heated up so i could take a bath, or i might just sleep.
saturday i did plasma, +50, bought gas, $48, bought misc stuff $65. gencon tickets were sold out. looked at a church for sale for $80k. bad neighborhood, bad condition, has potential.
my plans for the tesyt of the night are to take a bath, do laundry, maybe clean the yard or the stairs. we'll see how that goes.

another week later. sunday. worked 6.5 hours, busy all night. then i took the trash out 3 times, did a load of laundry, washed dishes, watered plants fed the fish, found a tent. swept the stairs,
washed dishes. but it's already 4 am so it'll be hard to get much done on tomorrow's list.
i just have to do a scrap run, plasma, clean the yard, fix or buy a lawnmower, mow the lawn, get my bike tuned up, bank, email fred's tree service, a few other such oitems, look for my phone, kill
some ants put out mousetraps get an oil change. and that's just the start and i'm already overwhelmed. some days i don't get out of bed.
this week i paid the new york toll, paid an overdue credit card, need to pay the internet bill again, went to the state fair,
emails with tommy, emailed an oil company about a lost check, etc., looked at some properties.

because i didnt get to sleep till dawn, i didn't get much done today
but i did plasma, got an oil change, found a houseplant so big i could hardly lift it, got some eggs which i could fix for dinner, paid a bill.
email from an old friend was nice. and my mom's estate's lawyers are finally getting ready to send the first big check.
i forgot to check my email this morning, but i didn't get the lawyer temp gig anyway.
i emptied out some containers mosquitos were trying to breed in, but i'll need to check the whole yard if it stops raining.
so i just need to clean the stairs, the yard, the house, the van, etc. and look for my phone.

today was productive, but the past two weeks sure haven't been. scotty and kevin came over, and i gave mark a ride, and i had a lawyer zoom, so lots of human interaction.
i made a list and bought a phone and coffee and went to the po box and the bank and the BMV and paid the electric bill and picked up trash on my block and put out the trash can.
i have a few minutes before church if i end up going tonight. i found some scrap metal and food and cleaning supplies, but have not cleaned the van yet. the smell is pretty bad.
i found a little pot; it's about 3 gallons. needs cleaning, but i found oven cleaner.
i might have found cocounsel to do a sign case in washington state. we'll see.
i paid the chase bill and referred a client to a lawyer friend who needs work. the list of what i didnt do is longer.

i'm on the front steps of the downtown library in order to get internet. i billed about 7 hours today on some sign cases, did the lawyer zoom from taco bell,
took out the trash, swept the stairs, etc. did not sleep last night so was woozy today at times.
nothing really finished today but a lot of progress.
$1 tacos and burritoes from taco bell were pretty good. i'm living large now
internet repair guy comes tomorrow. all for now.

last night after making a comic i wandered around looking for wifi and stopped by the yuppie gay bar i never go to, ran into a guy who knew me from the bars 30 years ago, and we chatted for an hour.
today i didnt get much done. my main task was waiting for the internet repair guy to come so now i have internet again. a little cleaning. po box. brought the wrong ID to the bank and when i went back
it was closed so i couldn't get money so i didnt go to michigan tonight.
i had a tea party with my stuffed animals, that was fun. the soup kitchen didnt want my boxes of food; the health department has been hassling them. i might drop them off at a hobo camp.
heavy rain today and minor frustrations but first world problems. i actually have it pretty good here.
no rent, no car payment, no child support or garnishments. utilities gas taxes coffee are about my only expenses.

haven't done one of these in a while. side effect of drugged stupor. michigan is a short drive away.
today i hauled 10 bags of trash from the first floor. it's not all done, but a good start.
i went to kokomo twice this week, and i still work tuesdays and sundays.
i want to get to terre haute to look at this church building i want to buy.
