I am. As I said I just started watching it but I like his character.

Out for my walk in a bit on a holiday Monday. Couple of things to do. Temp is down to 16C which is 52F. Need a jacket today.

Yeah. It actually has been.
They didn't actually make it over here today though, so that was kind of a bummer. I'm glad my aunt isn't retiring for a few years because I don't think she does very well without something to do. She's had several nights on her time off that she didn't sleep well at all and last night was one of them. I know how easy it is to fall in that trap if I let the projects I need to do go for a while, and I'm assuming that we've got some of that same stray gene in both of us.
Physically, I haven't gotten anything but some minor cleanup done today, but I have spent a lot of time with the digital media re-org and backup. It's just such a daunting task though, and I feel like it's going to take forever for me to chip away at it. I've got to find a way to have background processes running in the background while I do the projects in the house and stop hyper-focusing on one thing at a time.

Sometimes hyperfocusing on one thing at a time is the only way I get an onerous task done.
Well, whatever works best for you!

Yeah. Well given all of the countless hours of work I've put into the project, this digital re-org and backup should have happened a LONG time ago. Although I did feel safe that it was backed up in several places, it was rather piecemeal because I didn't have large enough drives before. Now that I do, and because Windows 10 is cancer compared to WindowsXP, I've got to do a TON of hash verification to make sure every single thing transferred over without error before I do anything with the smaller drives. It will likely take WEEKS to do this verification with the tech I'm running.
Once I get things situated right though, there's a lot of downtime between getting that going before I have to move on to the next thing to verify, so I won't have to hyper focus on it as long as I check it once or twice a day and get the next part going whenever I find the last part is done.

Well... that IS what I've been doing with the outside work with very little time off in between. I only put so much time into the digital stuff yesterday because it was a complete rain out.
Crappy SAD day outside today, but no rain. I did manage to excavate the slab that is up against my back porch and my house, clean it off with wire brush attachments on my drill, vac it and wash it down and make repairs to the cinder block wall where I needed it. I absolutely had to get that done today no matter what since I need 72 hours drying time before I can tar over that. Hopefully by this weekend I have both of the exterior slabs sealed in with the self-leveling caulk and I'll be one more step closer to a leak proof foundation.

Off to the dentist I go and a couple of other things to do before I get there.

Back from the dentist and this was a rough one. One root was in so deep that I had to ask for extra freezing. Also have some antibiotics to take. Just 5 days.

It was extractions. Two broken teeth then a whole one that is breaking slowly. Dentist removed one root that belonged to a missing tooth then the other roots to the one that was breaking.

Sorry to hear that, Brenda. I imagine even though I got 13 out at one time and it was super quick and easy and nearly painless, a lot of that had to do with much of the jawbone missing. Yours were probably packed in there a lot tighter than mine were.
Are those your first removed teeth? I'm just wondering because if they are know that you'll get used to not having them in there fairly quickly and down the line you won't even really give it any thought anymore.
