I started the day with high energy. Started cleaning the computer room so I could fit the scanner in there (yes, I know I should clean it up more properly, some day). Anyhow, the scanner is in place now.
Before I got to scan anything we headed out to recycle all the bottles and cans Tovah and we had collected this week. Total this week was 50.50 and we continued to Barnens Hus (big toy store) to buy a fart bag (“pruttkudde”), We found the last self inflatable and as it didn’t have any packaging we got it for 19.90 which meant that Tovah paid 10 and I 10. She has 40.50 left in her recycle fund. Here she is testing it in the store.
Back at home I continued installing the scanner and testing which software to use. I decided for Photoshop 7 to correct the color levels. I am now scanning at 1600 DPI and it takes about 4 minutes per photo in just scanning time. I guess I will be finished with all my photos by year 2032.
In the meantime Tovah found a new place for reading, the cabinet underneath the stairway. Close up.
Lunch was Teriyaki Salmon with potatoes baked in the oven.
By the way, I am really stupid. In the computer room there is a window that is divided into two parts that open. A bigger one that I have had opened for ventilation the last 3 years and a smaller one. My problem has been that the window doesn’t stay open or it flies up and hits one of my monitors. So what is stupid with that? Well some of you have already guessed that the other part, the smaller window part stays locked in place when the handle is turned downwards. It just hit Johanna earlier today that that must be the case and we tested. I AM STUPID.
The summer came back to today and currently (19:37) it is 20C/68.1F and max today was 22.9C/73.1F. It is a perfect summer night right now. Lovely. So what am I doing here in front of the computer? I guess I AM STUPID.
I have always liked sleeping long in the morning, but these days Tovah drags me out of bed around 07.30 every day and it actually feels rather good not to sleep away the day. During the night you anyhow just end up in front of the computer or another inhalation of the peoples modern opium (TV).
Catch you all later, I just wanted to say that I feel good!

There is a new virtual GSM operator in Sweden, Pepppar. So what? Well my old nickname is Peppar. Welcome to a brand new day!

It have been a bit quiet here for the last days and the reason is that I have started working again, only on one of my jobs Marratech but still. My work hours are dynamic at Marratech but the target value is 4 hours per day. Just working 4 hours per days is something new to me and I have a hard time relaxing in the afternoon without thinking about work issues. Or not really, I don’t think about the job but I have a hard time relaxing and just being. It only took one day to reach this “normal” state of mind again 🙁
My knee is getting better and now it only feels like a skin wound. Perhaps I can cycle today. That would be good as I feel rather restless and I have to do something physical.
Yesterday the terminator arrived and he found a nest in an old tree stump. He went to work on them with his poison and that should keep them away until the winter.
During the weekend we introduced Tovah to the concept of finding cans and returning them to the store. The first time we bought candy for the received money, but that turned out to be a huge mistake. The next time we went to the store all she wanted was to buy more candy. We convinced her that it might be better to save the can money and buy toys instead. We agreed on that on Saturday we would go to the toy store and see if we can buy a “fart bag” (“pruttkudd”). The deal includes that we double her money if she buys something else than candy. It seems to work. Yesterday afternoon we spent the walk to Björsbyn looking for bottles and cans and found about 10SEK worth.
Yesterday I ordered a scanner so I can scan all my old analog photos as well.
Now it is time for lunch, Chili con Carne. Catch you all later!
