Energy Level

Work on the next OP release is moving along, although slowly. The last bits of that cold are taking a long time to fully work their way through and the weather has likely been keeping my energy level down (well, that and the news being consistently [...]

Re: Can I recover yet?

Probably some kind of cold.

I suspect that the difference in how late this came on, and how the symptoms played out, is likely due to it being a different kind of cold virus (since there are several).

Sinuses are still a little odd but I have [...]

Re: Part 2

This is a good picture. I hope that you are doing ok.

Can I recover yet?

I don't know what this illness is but, despite feeling better 2 days ago, yesterday was pretty rough. Today is seeming better, but we will see how this goes since I am no longer sure.

At least it was nice to get that OctoberProject release done. [...]

Re: House and babies.

I didn't realize gender reveal parties were still a thing or were all that common when that fad was in full swing (back before that one sparked a huge wildfire).

Good to hear that the house is on the market. Hopefully you guys get a serious offer [...]

Re: Is this aging?

Today seemed to be better. Just a bit of a headache by this point, really. My mass seemed to jump back up to the normal range, today, too.

I usually consider myself "sick" if I have a fever (unless I just received a vaccine) so that is my once [...]

Is this aging?

This winter has been odd in that I keep getting sick. This is probably the 3rd or 4th time I have been sick since the new year and, historically, I would only get sick 0-1 times per year.

I don't even know where I caught whatever this is since it [...]

Re: Unsettled

I think that our minds going to old connections is pretty common. It isn't bad unless it becomes a fixation or something which prevents you from properly living in the now.

I also think that more people than want to admit it are in a similar boat, [...]

Fear and Powerlessness

Looking at the news and the state of the world, I see a lot of fear. The fear isn't so much fear, itself, but a fear which comes from powerlessness. The idea that we are all so far from the means to control our own lives that all we know is fear [...]

Re: Take this moment, you deserve it.

This kind of thing is always a good idea. I once heard that the only verified way to improve your sense of well-being is to be sure to periodically think about what makes you feel grateful.

I wonder how the asteroid would be "gone". I know that [...]

Re: Testing my key.

Finally seeing this now. Sorry about that but it looked like a bizarre IPFS ism where sometimes some nodes just won't get to see some pieces of data. I think it is how they try to distribution the index where you essentially can end up putting [...]

Re: Walking in the Snow

The Expanse?

I am not sure about "better". Season 1 was very good. By this point, I have watched seasons 1-5 and they are all good. For reasons I can't remember, I think season 3 was my favourite and 5 was probably the most tense (yet strangely [...]

Re: When you're polyamorous on Valentine's Day

I haven't seen family in a while but I have been in touch over text and calls, recently.

Good to hear that the house is getting sorted out. I hope that replacing that ID from your wallet isn't too rough. I always find things like that leaving me [...]

Walking in the Snow

I got a call that my blu-rays for The Expanse came in, today. Realizing I didn't have any other afternoon plans, aside from connecting and testing the OctoberProject fire logic, I decided to take the walk.

The walk to Bay Video is roughly 40 [...]

Re: Ill Again

I definitely find less excitement in wanting to watch it. I watched the first episode and thought it looked pretty good. I should continue but my mind doesn't settle on it. With Lexx, that was never an issue as it was something I found I could [...]

Something to look forward to

I really feel like a big problem I have is that I have nothing to look forward to.

On the work front, I don't think I have real prospects. Combine that with the lack of in-person work going on, the lack of problems worth solving, and how so many [...]

Re: New Draft - 1798108309

While I always thought the world could use more melodramatic wording (I am a goth, after all), I know that I tend to be very to the point in text (partly due to SMS limits but also my dislike of touchscreens for typing).

Ill Again

This is strange. Historically, I only get a bad cold once every 2-3 years but this year I got one at the beginning on January and now at the beginning of February. I blame the lack of normal human contact: Either being alone or sometimes in large [...]

Fitness for Human Interaction

For some time, I have been noticing that I am becoming "stranger". I blame this on general isolation and lack of humanization. I don't really know how to interact with people, these days, so I just seem to intensely babble or just generally act [...]

Re: This hits close

I do wonder how we got to this place where they needed to make such dramatic and sudden changes to international student enrolment. I wonder if the issues had been growing for a long time, were sudden, or were not directly related (like if it was a [...]

Re: Licensing

I hope that this is progressing well and that you get this licensing issue sorted out. Good to hear that the MRI results were normal.

Re: Silly Meme

Congrats! I hope that getting started goes smoothly and that the job is good.

Re: Illness finally caught me

Ear was really plugged so I went to get it flushed on Thursday. That seemed to work (I feel "clearer") but I still can't really hear out of my right side. Not sure what that is about. They did say my other ear looks like it is still slightly [...]

Re: Silly Meme

When I looked it up, I found a song called "So Sick". I haven't heard it and that doesn't sound very promising.

Re: Excited about Job Prospect

Hopefully that goes well. Good luck!
