Lazy Sunday

So, yesterday at the OC was... slow and steady?  For all of the hubbub of April, May has been... fairly quiet.  One thing that did amuse me was the large number of people who -- despite having been there before with our new format and such -- get out of their cars, try to talk to us, etc.  I realize these people are Hope and Changers, but... oi.  Especially when -- I read online yesterday -- that Slavic Village has a higher number of cases than, say, here.  I am not surprised by this, in honesty, given how people are acting.  At least we are closed next week, when I can perform social justice on my pillow.

Speaking of... last two nights I have been getting up way early; Saturday I woke up at 4:15 and could not get back to bed, and today I woke up at 5:30 with more of the same.  In consequence, I made myself a cup of coffee to plow through the afternoon.  Not sure why this is - stuff is the same as it always is, I guess, in terms of stress and work and whatnot.

I ordered some books from B&N (found a stash of gift cards)... with the libraries closed for a bit, I decided to pick up some paperbacks and try to knock off the ever-expanding book list.  Indeed, the combination of a long weekend, extra off time, a trip to take Mom to the beauty shop, etc., means I might have time to achieve some reading...

Weedwhacked today after lawn-mowing yesterday.  I guess it looks like...more importantly, it looks done, which is a far more important objective.

Read as a first draft, this has...promise?  I am just not sure how doable it is, at the end of the day, from the practical -- Terry Francona's not going to stop with the sunflower seeds -- to the more realistic, like no one eating out or taking a cab or that sort of thing.  Three tiers of club staff?  Interesting.  Fifty -- fifty-- players on the roster?  Oi.  I do believe that is a sop to the union to pull other strings, though they may just take the gambit...
