It's been very very hot as of late, incredibly unbelievably so actually, going out in the afternoon is hard, even to cook means I'm sweating litres and liters of liquid out of my body every hour, my appetite has died at this point and without the air conditioning I'm a slowcooking hunk of meet, no doubt.
There's a solution. If I go to my office more regularly, that means I'll get air conditioning. I'll get free teas and nice working environment. Means I won't get opportunity to waste time in random shit at my house. Won't get time to nap. Won't get time to 'work' but actually just watch youtube etcetera. No matter what, I'll get my order in place, and that's going to be worth the effort of walking the distance carrying two laptops. In the afternoon I can go from their straight to the library, do my readings and other writing work, head out for a walk, and come back int he evening, to cook dinner, and breakfast/lunch for the next day, only to start the whole cycle again.
That sounds wonderful actually.
The sisyphean tale is a misdirect, would Sisyphus have complained if his boulder-pusher was an automated machine with air conditioning? Would he not have had a remarkably rewarding life if at the end of every work day he came home to write his new novel, or poem or make a vlog, knowing fully that tomorrow was just as predictable as today, and just as miserably, not much more? Would life not be simpler? How is it torture for him, and how is that even an existential question. It's about the circumstances, you could give his terrible circumstances to the happiest, most exciting occupation in the world and their existence would be no less miserable. My circumstances are great, and therefore I must leverage them into happiness.
In the winter I get heater during the chilly mornings and early noons, since afternoon is already warm I can come hope to enjoy the awesome weather.
