FRI 03/13/26: Activity Log (AND NOTES...)

• cleaned bath and vacuumed, mopped housewide floors

• Organized waiting Quickbooks work

• JOEL trip to Bay City to stay with surfing friend through weekend; surfing and also necessary distance in light of TOMMY recent claims of possibly "breaking down the door" when I was unresponsive to his knocking at my office door for a few minutes. NOTE: the TOMMY/JOEL personal space topic is something that I suspect will become more acute as HTIRE business slows down and he is at the house more. In light of this, I've returned to my typical habit of rigorously keeping our sleeping schedules inverted which is a practice I've employed with great success over the past few years as a means of gauranteeing myself a definite, unmolested 5 to 8 hours every day to see to personal business without always having to expect banging on my door. I'll be writing a proper page/article about this topic and others that are becoming notable of late as he is spending more time here at the house. But simply returning to my legacy/regular habit of working from 9PM to 4am each day is immediatley the most effective at locking in the vital personal time I need (and he needs for other reasons). He has also been bringing up marijuana a lot lately. Any time there's an article or news piece on the subject, he's very quick to hollar out to me to come watch and then begin espousing the dangers and damage that smoking weed can cause. The call outs to me are very targeted and of note and of course, it indicates some odd suspiscioun on his part. As I've discussed all over this blog and my main site jbhfile.com, one thing is a constant with my father and in regards to our relationship: he is always in need of mental stimulation and at the same time, has zero hobbies or subjects of interest with which to engage so he invariably falls back to age old habits and suspiciouns around myself and such are never positive. In short, he constantly thinks I'm "on drugs" ... "drinking again!" or "smoking weed". It's like something that is engrained and a carry over from child hood years. Personally, I love the whole legal marijuana scene and follow it closely. I think it's a good thing that the use of the material/substance is becoming less offensive in a cultural regard but I myself do not partake of the substance either for recreation or for therapeutic means as it's not a productive option for me (too strong). So I have not partaken of "the dank!" for over three or four years now. Add to that the complications around possibly having to do a drug test for any (HOPEFULLY) new job opportunities and abstaining from such is even more wise in my opinion. But the fact remains, whenever he is here and I am here, the only thing his mind has to gravitate to is me so the more I am out of sight or otherwise engaged elsewhere, the better. My recent trip to Bay City over the weekend was an example of the various means I employ to keep distance between us during our mutual waking hours. And the hard inverted schedule method is even more useful as it squarely puts my work hours within the time that he is sleeping. Furthermore, my hope is to be employed /somewhere/ soon and during the same evening/early morning hours if possible.
