I&#8217;ll feed Myka, wash a few dishes, fill the ice tray.  I&#8217;ll finish off the tub of brisket chili on a couple of spuds.  I&#8217;ll play with Myka using the carbon fiber wand and brush her facial fur.  I&#8217;ll follow the news, check Ytube, watch a movie or two.  Pretty much SOP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br \/>I won&#8217;t start the truck.  I won&#8217;t start a project.  I won&#8217;t spend money.  I won&#8217;t stand up unless it enhances my existence.  I won&#8217;t stay awake.  I won&#8217;t do anything that taxes my energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br \/>Today is a lumper, a day dedicated to entirely nonessential slothfulness.  To rest and store energy simply for the sake of resting and storing energy.  All too often it&#8217;s done out of necessity, recovering from a physical issue, a massive exertion, a traumatic event, etc.  Lumping, by comparison, is a luxury, physiologically frugalness, gravitative infusion.   It is the ultimate state of zen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br \/>Back to lumpin&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8230;<br \/>&#8230;<br \/><br \/>Still lumpin&#8217;.  Trash bins are back in place.  Myka&#8217;s been fed.  I&#8217;ll be filling the ice bin soon.  Horde treated.  That&#8217;s about it.  Napping often.  Mid 80s.  Fans running.  No dishes that aren&#8217;t rinsed (one fork, one spoon).  Rib eye half in the sink to thaw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br \/>Thinking about sweet potato fries and popcorn shrimp.  Chili cheese spud tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8230;<br \/>&#8230;<br \/><br \/>I had the shrimp and fries for a late lunch, a full plate that finished the bag of shrimp. Now I can reload it from the store bag in the top loader. The rib eye is in the fridge.  The ice bin is full. The rinsed flatware still needs washing, I&#8217;m still in no hurry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br \/>I finished a movie, I haven&#8217;t started a new one.  Not in a movie mood.  I&#8217;m more in an LZB mood.  Today is truly a lumper.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There isn&#8217;t much going to happen today.
