Tonight we watched Summer of Soul for my monthly Monday music movie night. So good, so good. // I’ve been wanting to reengage with this community again! This is a start ☺️

The Drama was great! The ability to go to bed tonight? Less so, but I'm trying!

Up too late after multiple waves of internet-aided reminiscing. There are worse reasons for not getting enough sleep!

It’s been so long since I checked status.lol; my last four or five posts on it really tell a story. Kinda hard to read them.

Feeling strong. I’m making big life decisions and I’m doing it confidently and with growth in mind. ☺️

One of those days where I can see the work, working. It’s nice to see that light.

Listening to the rain outside while lying in bed, lazily internetting on my phone. There was a lot of beautiful, lazy calm today, and I’m so glad! I’ve been needing that.

I sent a lot of 💙s today. Gnight!

When it rains, it pours

It was a hard day, until it wasn’t.

Good to remember. Because this will be a hard year, until it isn’t.

Time to listen to some Jeff Parker.

Today was a weird one. I never really knew what it was.

Back to working on the new version my personal site/blog! Implementing Tailwind CSS meant troubleshooting some stuff; it felt so good to use the part of my brain that I’m dying to get paid again to use!

Accomplished a lot today - home stuff, job search stuff…and even some more Outer Worlds! I’m tired and have just Read Too Much Phone, so…gnight!

Nice to see Northwestern play today, even tho they weren’t good! A good day out in the world is nice. ☺️

A day full of hobbies, laughing, coffee, and planning adventures. More of that, please.

Sleepy end to a lovely evening

Coffee on the patio, reading good internet while listening to jazz. Cold enough my hands are cold. Autumn is the best!

Today really ran the gamut of emotions. I’ll take it.

Watched the Holdovers tonight. What a film! And discovered “Crying Laughing Loving Lying” by Labi Siffre along the way and holy shit that song

Didn’t go to sleep, and then couldn’t once I tried. 2am aw awake isn’t gonna help me heal my first ever bout of COVID. Sigh.

Fell asleep while playing a game on my Odin Pro. Time for bed!😂

Sleepily iPad-ing later than I’d like but today was a lot.

Too many neighbors with too many fireworks. I'm tired y'all.

Falling asleep while reading; today was full and I’m into it!

I've got that huge rush of energy that comes from doing a new writing /blogging/website thing. I'm excited to keep it going. ☺️

Truly regretting settling in to my hotel room before realizing i should go on a snack run. Conference!

Until today, I don’t think I’ve ever walked out of a movie as an adult. Sasquatch Sunset changed that. 😂

Ending a weekend full of resting - a ton of Dragon’s Dogma 2, a bit of LAD: Infinite Wealth, so much basketball watching, some Vampire Diaries, and even watched a movie. Felt good, y’all.

Reading a bunch of nerdy Chris Coyier stuff tonight, especially about CSS (see link). It’s good to think about playing with this stuff soon. ☺️

Finally updated my /now page again, and just having a nice, relaxing day.

I'm taking a poetry class now, and that meant a morning of rapid journaling, a writing exercise, and then transcribing the exercise. Love it.

Just finished my first poetry class since 2011 or so. I'm feeling contemplative and excited to write again.

It's been far too long.

Tonight’s “up too late” game was Brotato. That game has grabbed me in a big big way.

Played some Starfield and some Forza Horizon 5 in bed, thru Game Pass, on my Retroid Pocket Flip tonight. What a world!

Managed to get Starfield (mostly) working on the Steam Deck, docked, through Game Pass…which is why I’m awake at 12:15am. Good day, and a mostly good week!

Morgan is out of town and so I stayed up until, so far, almost 5am. Oof.

Another weird one. Happy to put the last couple work days behind me. To the weekend!

One of those nothing days. Got some evening gaming in tho, which was nice. ☺️

Inspired, feeling my creativity kicking in as fall comes knocking. I love Autumn. Can’t. WAIT.

Absolutely ready for a three day weekend.

Weirdly kinda resilient and productive even on hard days lately. I’ll take it!

Solid day again. Almost like sleeping more means better days. Weird.

A fully good day this time, feeling like I’m changing routines in a positive way. Love that, and love clean air again (finally!). And rain!

Turned around a tough day. Tonight felt like the best kind of mellow, and now I'm even in bed early. Beautiful.

Managed to stay up later…and later…oops. But sleeping time is now, and I get to pick up my g/f at the airport tomorrow morning! 🎉

This week…I truly can’t believe I’ve gotten work done this week. I’m so, so tired

Rolled the credits on Fire Emblem: Three Houses tonight! Excited to have played the story through, and will likely play New Game+…but before that I’m excited to play something else, too. ☺️

What a great day! I love when I see how possible it is to adventure on a random Tuesday. Conference turns out to be a great way to reset my brain towards work, post-vacation.

Really happy to be at a conference again! I wish I felt ok to be maskless; it's cramping my extrovert style, but so it goes! #SeattleJSConf

Back to work was a no good Monday; now can't sleep before getting up very early for Seattle JS Conf.

Two weeks off is nearly done; trying hard to stay present and not just be bummed out!

Felt good to play baseball again today! And I’m ready for our road trip adventure, tomorrow!

Worked hard this week, in a good way. And now? Vacation time until Aug 7! I’m a fortunate man!

Wrapping up a very calm, restful weekend with Morgan, our cats, and Fire Emblem. Happy and content. ☺️

Deep diving into the Miyoo Mini Plus and OnionOS installation in preparation for arriving this week. Can’t wait to bring it on vacation with me!

Was tired all day, but had a good day of work and a great night with Morgan. I’ll take it!

Truly exhausted. Growth times, busy times, sleepy time.

Great day of learning, resting, talking, hammocking. Sometimes a random Wednesday is wonderful.

Up too late because I’m in Portland again and it’s delightful

Morgan is home again, snoring next to me, tomorrow is both record store day and my first baseball practice since the 90’s, and I’m just feeling so nice.

Felt weird most of the day, but finished some hard work, listened to my body and stayed home, and didn’t do much in the best way. Only regret is that I’m still awake at nearly 1 AM!

Wrapping up a satisfying day: got good work done, talked to mom, did some middle man help with familial spat, saw some great baseball!

Today was amazing! Good brain, good work, got asked to join an adult baseball team/ league! Wow!

Lovely night catching up on Survivor while my sweet old cat sleeps on my legs. Time for sleep, soon!

Had my sleepy time tea while listening to Laraaji after a nice night at the ballpark. Lovely.

Stayed up late setting up my online league baseball team for the season we started a few days ago; wow does my hyperfocus love that task

Early to bed after another half day sick day. Hope to have a weekend mend!

Back to the routine of showers at night! (And tonight I’m also trying to check the status.lol/mastodon integration)

Watching That 90s Show; feels like maybe the perfect sick day activity

Staying up too late planning my online baseball team. But hey I’ve got Monday off!

Accomplished a lot in service of a planned no-guilt all-rest-and-fun Sunday. Felt good!

Today had a lot of Fire Emblem, some Big Star, and a sleep-deprived sense of dread

Falling asleep after a truly satisfying day.

This front-end dev is unbelievably tired of dealing with backend garbage.

Pushed too hard at work today, now stuck on my iPad. Elated to finish an important thing, but short term, it was too much!

Today was up, it was down, it was all around. But overall, I took good care of myself. I’ll take it!

Unfun brain day. It wants me to not do any work.

Realizing how quickly I got used to living with another person again. My girlfriend is out of town and everything feels weird!

Staying up too late, but kinda in a planned way?

Today I did a good job worrying less about worrying ☺️

Brutally detailed/involved meeting for the first meeting after a three day weekend

Reshelving some records instead of writing some code

Content, but tired. Today had a lot of day.

Just relearned: Vampire Survivors, in bed, means playing very late 😂😅

The week between is glorious so far

Day of cleaning, listening to all the Christmas vinyl, and prep for tomorrow. More of these days, please!

Watched as my g/f finished playing Tinykin today. Marathon session. Yay holiday work break!

Freezing rain = frozen ice rink streets = definitely no last minute shopping today!

Hello omg.lol! I'm enjoying kicking the tires here!
