Oh So Tired

handful_ofdustToday I picked up my new computer, a rose-gold MacBook Air, to replace the old one I've been hammering at for the last five years or so...the one with a battery so old it had apparently started to swell, cracking the shell apart. The Geek Squad data transfer worked out perfectly, down to synching my bookmarks and browser history; now I have no excuse for not going back to all the stuff I had to put on hold during said transfer, ie the stories I still owe people, the essays, the interviews. I forgot to sign one of my outstanding contracts for so long that they had to send it to me again, which is hardly fucking professional.
But then again, we've also spent the last two days fighting a kitchen sink clog that only finally loosened after we poured four bottles of Draino and god knows how many kettles full of boiling water into it. I was cooking next to it, this double-barrelled load of chemicals: A fairly nice if super-hot chilli bake (too much sriracha), followed by a gluten-free version of Shepherd's Pie. And also I did a sweet potato/heirloom apple tian, which may be the best type of side dish ever eaten as dessert.
I've cut processed sugar out of my diet, yet again. I'm sick of feeling huge and achey. Hopefully this will help. I'm also wearing Steve's Breathe-Right strips at night, because he described my snoring in such a way as to give me the impression that I may have sleep apnea. Being able to breathe more freely while I'm asleep than I can while I'm awake is interesting; the dreams are gloriously odd, but not as vicious as they're sometimes wont to be. I can't wait to be finally over the diarrhea from my second vaccination.
So yeah, tired. Domestic life is sometimes sweet, but also exhausting. Maybe I can actually go out and write somewhere tomorrow.
