Was kind of slow waking up this morning. Slept until almost 9am and even when checking my watch I tried to do mental math to try to convince myself that I, “really didn't need to get going just yet, I still have 'this' amount of time before I have to get ready. Felt kind of strange when I woke up, it kind of felt like I was hungover. I was able to have time to cook the bacon and eggs. I also threw some chicken into the air fryer. I didn't have time before work to clean it, but I cleaned it after work. I was going to put a pork loin in the fryer as I'm pretty sure that would work out fine. However when I looked up how to cook that in the fryer Google said to run it at 350 for 45 minutes. That seems like a REALLY long time for something in the air fryer so I decided to bake it for lunch for the next couple of days.

I didn't get the post done yesterday. I decided to start on the script for the General Update video and I spent a lot of the day writing and when it came time to do the nightly blog I was kind of worn out writing. I still haven't finished it yet. It's going to be a pretty long video...if I ever get around to working on it.

It would be easy to blame video games as the last couple of days I had been playing the game Half Life. But I had stopped playing several hours before I needed to start working on this. I didn't stop because I didn't like the game, I was just starting to get frustrated with some of the platforming in the game. That game came out in 1998, and wow is it rough. It has a notable reputation on line as one of the great games. I had just never gotten around to playing it. It is made by the same company who made the game Portal so I was expecting a similar type of humor in Half Life as Portal does, but there really doesn't feel like it has any life to it. But I should recognize that it is a bit of a miracle that I'm playing a game that is nearly 30 years old and it does still play.

Work today went pretty smoothly. I was a carryout for the first half and worked the desk the second half. At lunch I did debate on getting a container of cottage cheese. Not that I was still hungry, it sounded good. I used the Google coin flip to decide. It landed on tails so I skipped the extra purchase.

I worked 11-7 instead of the usual 11-8 today, but when I got home I kind of shut down. Had hot dogs for dinner while the pork loin cooked in the oven. When the pork loin finished I cut it in to so I can have that for the next couple of days.
