I did manage to purchase the Abe portrait, and it is now hanging in my little Hellboy shrine opposite the man himself. Really happy with that.
With it now being Standard Time, I'm going to try to start making that 5 AM wake-up actually stick. I've never been a morning person, but parenting has made me also not a night owl, and at least this way I'd be rested for my personal time. That's the theory anyhow.
My father-in-law and I put up a new door in my office; I got materials for a stop and some minor filling, but I need to actually do those now. We'll see when I can fit them in. Only got a third of this week's lawnwork done before the batteries, weather, and plans cut things short - hopefully I can do something about that soon.
Luckily I have some time off on Wednesday to look forward to, as it's my birthday - the wife and I will be going to Mitsuwa. I want some Udon and to finish off some of my manga collections (FMA and Dinosaur Sanctuary). I already got myself some novels, a board game expansion, and STs 18 and 19. Also got myself a new computer dock that purports to support three monitors via HDMI. Hoping to hook that all up tonight, it would be so nice to have a single-cable-switch setup between my work and personal laptops.
All that aside, all I'm really hoping for in the near term is to get the bulk cleaning projects I've had hanging over my head out of the way. Several of the side rooms are just absolutely destroyed, and it'd be nice if those spaces were usable again. Plus we have boxes floating around - decor and some new kitchen stuff my mother-in-law gave us. Just want this cardboard emptied and out of my sight.
