Well that’s not great. Disappointed, but not as surprised as I thought I’d be.

Very tired but not going anywhere.

Reminding myself this morning

In the world that’s been built around us

taking care of yourself is resistance

taking care of those you love is rebellion

taking care of those you don’t know is revolution

participate to the best of your ability

It’s all working towards a collective good, because anything healthier than clocking in is heresy

Looking at the last eight years/ quarter century / four-decades-since-Reagan / five-since-Watergate of my life, and @drwho is singing the Gen-X song.

Inspection team spent a week carefully identifying invasive plants in our neighborhood.

Landscapers spent a few days absolutely brutalizing those plants with powered hedge trimmers, until there was nothing left but stubs. But they didn’t dig them up.

Twenty four hours since landscapers passed our house, the stubs are showing fresh green shoots.

Feel free to use this for the metaphor of your choice.

Drinking one of her energy drinks.

Desperate times, desperate measures.

This was a terrible grievous error considering that I was so tired because I’d been at peak anxious for the entire day and then some.

Got so wobbly I had to lay down for 20 minutes. Feeling better now.

why the hell do I get my good idea at 9:30pm

My idea does what I expected it to. I had fun.

At least I know I can write good code.

Feeling the need for the #drawing stim, or meditative doodling, whatever you want to call it.
