While I appreciate the day off, Im among the minority who actually like their job, and their co-workers.
Of course, some republican will read this, and try to get me fired because I said I was happy.
“There will be no events that lead to smiles, laughter, or happiness of any kind. That’s “woke” and we wont have it. Real Americans are always unhappy about something.”
Message sent in Signal chat, probably.
I just realized I’m off today.
Typically such realizations go the other way.
Yay!
“Still Lovin’ You” MIGHT be the greatest ballad/love song of all time.
Fight me.
MANNNNN what a morning.
Man I feel like I should be at the coast right now. I just looked up from my desk and saw a print of a coffeehouse we go to when we’re down there, and just for a second, I could feel that breeze.
Unlimited demands.
Limited resources.
Life.
This fella knows what’s up.
I remember one time being told by an 11 year old girl “I think everyone has a Kashmir phase, but I’ve moved on.” I pushed her down the stairs.
I’m going to pretend (as I drink my coffee on my porch) that today is a nice blustery day in October.
Rather than a mildly breezy 80 degree day in March.
Ugh internally routed cables can
SUCK IT
But this TIME Alpe D’ Huez is soooooo lovely it just might be worth the hassle.
The fool who chooses not to read is more illiterate than the man who is unable.
I picked a hell of a time to stop sniffing glue…
I’ve said this so many times before, but dang if it isn’t true.
Sometimes things live up to the hype.

I hate (H A T E) dealing withh parking at venues.
To the point where I would almost rather just not go.
I think I’m reaching my capacity for human interaction for a while.
My “peers” have begun to wear on me.

Man I just had the best Club Sandwich I’ve had in literal years. I ordered it on a whim from a place called “Jim’s” which is like a better version of your typically diner fare. It’s maybe a mile from my house but I never go there.
That has now changed.
This is a shelf where I keep things that have caused me a large amount of pain, discomfort, or bled me of money.
Yesterday I added this breaker, which partially failed in the middle of the winter storm. This caused a “dead-leg” in my power and rendered my HVAC unusable, among other affronts.
SOOOO Bob Uecker, and David Lynch so far today.
Just waiting on the “third” I suppose…
Well, it’s the 9th of January, and I’ve fallen behind on my journaling.
At least I acknowledged this early enough to remedy it. I have daily notes and thoughts, just not cohesive journal entries.
And just like that, the holidays are over, and conference calls are back on with people talking work priorities again, like it all never happened.
Every year is more surreal than the last.
Fellow central Texans, how is everyone’s PTSD this morning?
Genuinely still kinda trippin' that it’s 2025.
I have been feeling a bit “off” the last few days til yesterday, I had a stitch and some cramps, and I realized I was dehydrated. So today, I started my day with some intentional hydration in the form of a glass of water and Skratch Labs cucumber lime. It has made ALL the difference.
