So I took Friday and Monday off. I can’t believe how overwhelmed I feel given that work isn’t demanding right now.

I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself! bluesky-map.theo.io I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

Is it time to go home yet!?

Get through today, hit up the super market, then go home and sort through a new diabetic cookbook I found. A couple of the desserts look amazing. Especially the hummingbird cake.

Randomly, I really want a turkey burger.

RIP super cute glass drinking travel cup thing. I put you down to hard and you cracked. But you were only $3 at Aldi’s so it could have been worse.

I knew it was a possibility but awwwww the Artemis 2 launch was delayed a month.

Statue at work. Usually he’s buried in tall grass.

My snow pusher arrived! A week early! Just in time for maybe snow on Wednesday but probably not any at all especially as I want to try out the snow pusher.

If you're in need of some ambient music to beat the winter chill, let us offer you the sounds of mortal souls expiring

The courtyard of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston

Oh bless. The nor’easter this weekend isn’t supposed to bring more snow. I do note that tomorrow night, the low is negative 4 degrees F, which is horrible though. I do love you, winter, but you’re being an ass.

There's an auction going for Minnesota! Loads of publishing-related lots and opportunities: have a look! www.32auctions.com/publishingfo...

I need Taco Bell and to see how my island is doing in animal crossing. Three more hours. You’ve got this, me.

Made it into work but wow am I exhausted. The cold is sapping my energy faster than I can make it. The state of the US isn’t helping any either, but I’ll blame the cold.

Artemis 2 launch date is feb 6th at around 9:45 ish pm. Just in case people wanted to tune in.

Uuugh someone stole my snow shovel. How could you? Now I have to see if Home Depot has any. Maybe Thursday on the way home from work.

Well. Taking the trash out sucked.

Cause some pretti good trouble.

Aaaagh why is it always oranges and wind flowers??? #acnh

Welp work is closed tomorrow. Those who can work remotely are encouraged to do so. Cowards. Give us all snow days.

Storm snacks started. They’re filled with cookie butter.

All set for the weather. As far as I can tell, I got everything I need except for maybe salt for the outside stairs. But by this point, it’s probably completely sold out. So I shan’t bother! Bonus pic of the doggo in his snowflake sweatshirt.

Aaaaaah, a Rival Most Vial has another sequel!

Just gotta get through today. My sinuses are really funky due to the approaching storm so it’ll be fun.

Anywhere from 1 to 10 inches of snow is going to hit this weekend. I am already congested from the storm pressure. Good times. Got your emergency French toast supplies in yet?

Two out of three tasks complete! Really three out of four but one task was weenie.

Sigh.

I feel a lot like I did during the covid lockdowns. The same level of anxiety and the strange feeling of having to pretend everything is fine and be a good worker while the world burns.

Inspired by a friend to start 15 minute walks a day. We’ll see if it helps any.

This is a good lesson, no matter how you come to learn it

Unexpected snow. Someone is enjoying himself.

Can I just say how much I hate that work is pushing ai so hard? “Get ai to write that thing!” I’ve been in my career long enough to know how to write that thing, thanks, but no thanks.

I really want to go home and play animal crossing. I had to start a new island, which is fun, but it means I want to work on it more.

NASA hopes to launch four astronauts on a flight around the moon next month. Artemis II would be the first human trip to the moon since 1972. Why is it so hard to get back there? Dig in with this recent feature

Did not get enough sleep last night and I am feeling it now.

Feeling anxious and avoidant today. Is it overstimulation, tired, hormonal, illness or just weird brain soup? Who knows.

Just a reminder that this psychopath is still here. Get TF off of X #TheAlliedForces

The mornings always zip by and the afternoons always drag at work. I wonder why.

My previous manager is an assface. His feedback for the year is I didn’t communicate enough? My current manager asked “wtf is he talking about?” He’s the assface who told me to not bother him. ASSFACE. I will show you and be AMAZING.

Woke up too early this morning and now I’m dragging through a whole morning’s worth of meetings. Uuuugh.

The lovers as card of the day and the wheel of fortune as clarification. Weirdly, my tarot app isn’t reading that I threw the wheel in the journal even though I got a pic of it. Unseen forces or behind the scenes?

Back in the office. Not the happiest about it but nothing rivals the sad face my dog gave me this morning as I left.

Used a gift card for a cute shirt and some cute loafers. It won’t fix the world, but I feel better and can look cute while advocating for a better world.

And officially? Don’t @ me on this. I tried to get a covid vaccine but the US is the upside down these days.

Hot damn, finally testing negative. I’m officially on the mend.
