1 AM and airing at the airport to pick up my brother. #lateflights #family #toooldforthis

#toooldforthis

[2/2] means a LOT of rewriting. Stumbling through the first draft was easy compared to this. I keep telling myself I’m learning a lot and it will get easier. . .

Oh, and then there’s the #impostersyndrome, the #toooldforthis fear. . .

More images of my newly renovated apartment. Still a few odds and ends, but mostly the bathroom has a couple weekends, maybe three weekends of work left...

Plus, later the foyer area will have shelves, counter and cabinets for a pseudo-kitchen and half-closet.

Originally, approx 100 yrs ago, this building was built as a hotel. Apartments are small but it's also an expensive high-density area a block to the park, then the lakefront, beaches, etc...

What it used to look like before the renovation.

Everything was ripped out. The loft platform, the shelves, the wood trim, the ceiling fan, the windows, most of the electrical... everything is new now.

Almost there...

Floors were installed improperly, and the planks spread out leaving gaps. If that were not the case I would have had them sanded and refinished. But most will be covered by a rug anyway so not worth the hassle of fixing...

Another 4.5 hours of scraping and steel wooling 20 years of paint of wood floors, and mopping 30+ times, oy vey iz mir, tell ya!

Just laying on the floor after that workout. Holy crap that kicked my arse.

Saw Beyoncé in Sunderland last night and the ringing in my ears is only just starting to let up. #Over40 #TooOldForThis

Resolution :
I shan't go out on a school night again 😅

Stood outside in 0 degree weather for several hours in a south side parking lot this morning making soil logs and sampling soil because I scheduled field work weeks ago before we knew that today would be the last cold day for awhile. Fortunately, we did not encounter any groundwater so we didn't have to figure out how to keep all of our tubing from freezing. #geologist #TooOldForThis

Mongrel day here

Cleaning ASMR?!

At forty years old, I might be too old to jump from a swing.

I may have hurt my knee a bit.

So I switched instances (my previous instance was going through some policy changes with which I was uncomfortable). It seems, and perhaps I'm just ignorant, that I've lost my posts from there. I have an archive, but I don't know if there is anything usual in there.

Oh, well, I'll just have to dazzle afresh over here.

Unless somebody else knows something....

Is Instagram just ads? Does anyone post anything there that isn't selling?
It seems a major hurdle that every post must have an image, or better yet, a video

These #pac12afterdark are brutal when you don’t live on the West Coast. Trying to stay up to watch but probably not going to make it through the whole game. #GoDucks #TooOldForThis

Starting to find my way around here a bit now. Definitely feeling more at home than on Instagram (I just don't get it 🙈) #TooOldForThis

I’m never going to get used to using hashtags on here.

Four days of partying with friends. Age 54. If anyone needs me, I'll be doing a brown rice and fermented yak's milk cleanse for the next six weeks. #toooldforthis
