Another lazy Sunday

Daughter and I didn't do much at all today. She still likes having Sundays to lay back from the pace of the rest of the week. Guess I do too, for the most part.

I'll admit I didn't feel too energetic today, any way. Exacerbated my medical condition yesterday and suffered through some fairly severe pain last night, then the aftermath today. Slowly getting past it now.

However, another part of that is just the weather. As spring arrives (eventually), I do want to get out and do more. I think we both need it.

It is funny. As she gets older and has reached the age where she is developing more abstract thought, the more similarities there are between us. So many things I see in her now which reflect myself at the same age. She reads beyond her cohort. To say she understands abstract thought is an advancement because she has had low level abstract thought for years. My favorite books at the same age were mostly science fiction and fantasy. Now that is her favorite. She tries to make sense of things and people. You would need a calculator to count the number of times the exact same words come out of our mouths at the same time in one day. 

There is a difference but that's related to upbringing. I was very religious at her age. 

Not getting the bedroom ceiling done tonight. Do that tomorrow night, most likely. Not going to the gym on Monday. May go get my hair cut, though. Got the dishes all done and that was quite a pile.

Picked up some lumber on the way home from dropping daughter off. Much of that was marked down lumber. Learned they usually put out the marked down lumber on Sun night or Mon morning. So I got what would usually be over $40 of lumber for $12. (Not everything I got was marked down.) The marked down lumber is good for anything not visible or that will be painted. 

I'm going to try something a bit atypical. I'm still not used to my bottom dentures. So, going to try sleeping with dentures in. I do take them out for at least an hour or two a day. Maybe if I sleep with them in place I can use subliminal conditioning to get used to them better. My gums are healed up. Not filled in very well yet. I still seem to have small tooth shards working their way out from the bottom gums, part of why I'm not adjusting very quickly. Getting there. 

My usual source for electronic cigarette supplies is still out of menthol liquid. Been at least two weeks now. So much for migrating to electronic cigarettes more fully any time soon. 

I still have multiple problems with the kitchen sink. Sometime soon I'm going to completely dismantle the plumbing to the sink and replace all of it at one time. 

Finally got some tomato seeds started today. Just starting right off with fewer containers but large ones. Need to look around and find more large (like 1 gal) containers to start some more soon. Using larger containers from the start will help decrease transfer shock later on. So I hope it means the plant will gain size faster. I've gone through it several times that growth was retarded because I let plants stay in small containers too long. Want to avoid that this year.
