Happenings
Took a few days off work & spent most of it in bed sleeping. I'm feeling much better now. Almost 100%.
Spent some time organizing & cleaning up the home. It's slow-going. (I started the task thinking I'd go ROAR and finish it, but in reality I only mustered a little meow.)
Boxed up & donated a bunch of books to the local library. (I used to feel like I had to finish every book I started, but have since learned that I do not need to give time to things I'm not interested in.2)
Hadn't seen the sister in a bit — so we met up for lattes & conversation. We inevitably discussed work — how different the challenges are now that we are further along in our careers (less about managing projects & more about managing personalities). We're not sure we like it.
Watching, listening
Black Doves — I wasn't invested in the story in the beginning, but ended up staying for Sam.
Thinking
My world has probably become a lot smaller because of the smallness of both my online and offline presences. But part of it is also larger in other ways, because I now have the energy to explore it in ways I can and want to.
The point is not whether small or large is better, but it is important to know which we prefer.
Tinkering
- It turns out my Apricot keyboard was fine & the Trash switches were the issue. Swapped in a new set of Nightshade switches & all is well again. Apparently some factory-lubed switches degrade over time. (I spent way too much time thinking it was a firmware or driver issue.)
