The last few days have been relatively “plain” by quarantine standards. Although a welcome (nearly distant) visit from Monya & BopOp yesterday was a relief.

But, today, in science class, TheWeeOne and I built an engine with a magnet, a battery, and a long loop of wire!

Look at that blurry thing spin between the copper coils – this was with the flash on.

Even more science…this time magnets from electricity!

I “got to hold the battery” (in a Tom Sawyer sense) just in case it drew an electrical shock.

More science experiments.

Iron filings or caterpillar?

This is getting kinda ridiculous – and so is the pandemic.

In order to paint I had to fix the crumbly drywall beneath a light. #thighBonesConnectedToTheHipBone

Got a special letter in the mail from the Employment office. Hint: I’m not unemployed.

I reported it as fraud immediately.

It’s all a process.

In order to complete our back-hall pantry I need to finish replacing the floor. But, to finish the floor I need to remove the baseboard trim, finish wet-sanding the ceiling, wet-sand the old patches in the walls, fix the bad patch in the skylight, patch old crusty spots outside the bathroom (pictured) probably shellac some sections of the ceiling and skylight, decide what to do with the lame-ass heater vent by the back door, paint the ceiling, replace the outlets, tape-off the trim, and paint the walls. (Optional, replace the bathroom door and install cornice trim).

Now that I’ve written it all down; it’s feels like it is almost done…not. #timeToExecute

Biggest piece of “pork” in my mini-stimulus plan at Home Despot this weekend; a “smart” thermostat.

Turns out I don’t have a “c-wire” (labeled RC). Going back to a select committee for an amendment to my spending bill. #accidentalCongress

Thought I was snapping sunflowers – but a closer look shows intricate fungus managing operations.

Always a subtext. #naturesDevOps
