Executive Stress

Desmond79

I was still sleepy, at 9 am, whenever my electrician called. He was coming to remove the wiring and socket from my fireplace. In the end I had to get up, to unlock the door for him, then head back to bed. He'll square me up for cost once he sorts me out with a generator.

Then my uncle came, around 2 pm, to do measurements for the hearth; to be installed tomorrow. He said that a professional is required to install the woodburner I have, in the shed, as a certificate is required; Re. Carbon Monoxide. More stress. The Chap who can do that, locally, won't be free until after Christmas. More stress.

Now, I'm listening to a Patreon stream of a Spacerock album's Side A is premiered; by a Chap from Nottingham who has released s**tloads of material, via Bandcamp and Kickstarter, since 2020. He was my soundtrack to the Era of Stupidity.

Nothing's ever simple.

  • I get overwhelmed trying to juggle home stuff on top of work stress too. What helped a bit was offloading things I kept putting off—like house maintenance. I used https://emersonproservices.com/carrollton/ for some repairs, and just having that off my plate made a surprising difference. It freed up a bit of brain space so I wasn't constantly burned out trying to remember every little task on top of everything else.

  • So I'm thinking "What is this spacerock"?

    I go to youtube,and view an exposition on the subject thinking I know, I've heard that term before. 

    First thing I hear is the opening bars of "Brainstorm" by Hawkwind! (but played by someone else, not as well IMHO)  

    The first time I ever smoked pot in company they were playing Hawkwind's "hall of the mountain grill" if my memory serves  me correctly.

    Been a fan ever since, and they are STILL worth seeing as  live band a couple of years ago.

  • Life is rarely simple. They say it means a more interesting life... Personally, I would rather have the simple life lol.

    I hope you enjoyed your stream and were able to relax after such a busy day Blush
