😔🫂🤖

…March 31st it is!

All the good thoughts 🫂💙💙💙

Eughhh 😬😞 There's writing time on my work calendar for this morning once I log in, but I've just remembered Worst Project blew up on Friday and I should probably pivot to dealing with that mess instead. Suddenly second coffee sounds like an excellent idea.

Yeah, that's a rough equation to balance for sure :(

The last 24 hours have been the right temp range to mean I woke up early in a too cold bedroom for things like morning stretches so now I'm downstairs with coffee before food... and probably another one after. I'm sure this will have no consequences.

Greetings, your highness!

oh NO

Me too!! It sometimes feels weird that stories are usually static, like it flies in the face of the oral tradition of our human roots

Started re-reading (We Could Be) Something Great yesterday from the beginning and realized at some point that parts of it have been revised in ways that make it *even better* so now I extra can't put it down. There's a few things I have to do today, but re-reading is definitely today's best feature

Perhaps predictably, I myself have been best described as somewhere between agnostic and atheist since I was a teenager

*My existence has blown up the weirdest shit in my extended family. Somehow I was the catalyst for a religious schism that led to one half taking voluntary disfellowship but I'm not entirely clear how.

It is occurring to me this morning that having started life as a Witness, then later* attending Sunday school with the Mormons (reorganized flavor), to Sunday school with the Methodists, to marrying a Catholic is, perhaps, not the most common sequence of religious experience

Some days are just bed days

Ooof 😬

If you do not make time for system maintenance etc

Home and in sweat pants. As you might guess from that statement, I will not be making it out for excursion number 3

Dying bad. The stress part is 100% a thing - stress chemicals and the way you hold yourself and maybe less self-care...

First of 3 trips out today is done, which means provisions have been acquired. It's another weekend of going holy JESUS what are the price of groceries and I don't just mean food. Next up: Haircut (more $$! 🙃) then an art thing that I'm 90% going to make it to. 85% make it to. Maybe 75%?

yeah, it was really clear in HR when that first flush - when the tags were still a good time - was over and it was time to step back

This requires conquering both time anxiety (I'll need AN HOUR to do this 10 minute task or I'll be LATE to the next thing!!!) and productivity guilt (I always rest for HOURS on weekends! Isn't laziness a SIN?!). Fortunately, I have the Newton's laws on my side, primarily inertia and it's inverse.

This weekend has many things in it to be done and I'm debating the most optimal sequence for today around the two things with specific times. The ideal scenario will include the morning still spent on the couch while it's gray and rainy outside.

I've achieved upstairs reading in bed and it's the perfect thing

Oh yeah, there we go, that's it exactly

yeah that'd do it

I'm staying up a little longer for the pups' sakes, especially since it's going to be a lot of rain tomorrow, but it's not gonna be THAT much longer

Went outside after work and did some weeding, then came in and ate too much dinner (albeit healthy for my purposes). Now I'm ready to go to bed but it's only 7 pm.

I know I just said it’s full but we’ve passed over to the other side. It’s so full it’s empty. Or something.

Brain is empty. Send weekend.

😍 still cute as a button
