Extremely frustrating

Increasingly feel like I’m the only sucker in this country who’s not scamming the government in some way.

This past year I've spent time away from things I enjoyed due to grief from the passing of a loved one.

Time becomes surreal. Simple things become more difficult. You don't enjoy certain things in the way that you once did. It's not inherently good or bad, it's just different. Routines begin to change just to feel something - an electric tingle, rewiring of the brain - new patterns are created for distraction, not purpose, bordering self-destruction.

You come to realize you're just kinda falling through all this and when you eventually land, you shake it off and start moving in any direction, trying not to look back. You begin to make small changes again, like updating a profile page or editing interests, slowly engaging in things that mean something to you.

I would discuss bitcoin with this person, showed them and explained to them nostr. It was one of the last things we were bonding over. It has been easier with time, but that void will always be there.

This grief is a non-linear journey, a spiral back into myself into realizing what really matters, yet the process itself is different for everyone. But it is a process. It does and will take time. No one is truly alone in their grief, and thats hard to see in the middle of the fall, before you land, before you rebuild everything.

Hug your loved ones closer and harder this holiday season. Bond over common ground, not the differences. Be more gentle with yourself and others. Be kind but take no shit, and if you're grieving, just remember you are not alone in it

🫂💜

You have all the time in the world, until you don't.

Peak activity at 10pm ? Sound totally like me. Problem is until 9.30-10pm I have no time to do thing I want to, so of course I'm at peak when I do thing I enjoy the most. The very rate times I'm alone at home and not working on my fiat job, I can do shitload of stuff I like in a day. But normal day I have to work until 5.30 it 6pm, then take care of kids, homework, housework, cooking, cleaning, preparing next day, so I'm only free to do stuff alone late. And weekend I enjoy my free day time with my family.

I use red lights throughout the house after 8:30 p.m. and wear the glasses. The difference is phenomenal in sleep. Also have you noticed how much your pupils dilate wearing the glasses? It's very relaxing for the brain

Helpful info - thanks Guy.

Curious about your thoughts on Dr. Jack Kruse. On one hand, his work on circadian biology makes a lot of sense. On the other hand, he’s pretty overweight so I’m not sure how much I trust his health advice.

Where do you stand on this?

I feel like old people mute their phones to avoid calls and end up missing half of the fun.

Is this why kinds don't remove their AirPods anymore?

remember the yarn that was too thick for mitts? I'm making a pair of spiral socks instead! they're gonna be so cozy 🥰

when I learned about this unique sock construction, I had to give it a try. it uses spiral ribbing to hug the heel and can be put on in any direction so it wears evenly.

omg are you okay~!?

Done

In that case, there are multiple good things awaiting fruition.

That podcast was yesterday morning for me.

Yesterday evening luck was on my side after several months of the alternative.

I've been trying to present my Egyptian baptism theory on a youtube show called "Paradigm Drift" where contestant theorists enter a chance drawing to win an opportunity to present their theory in a 1 minute, elevator pitch style format followed by some Q&A from the hosts and invited panelist judge(s).

They loved the presentation and invited me back to present on subsequent episodes where I will not be subjected to the random luck of the draw anymore. VIP mode enabled.😁

Also, Caleb and I have been talking about doing a show or possibly multiple shows on his Bitcoin Consciousness podcast so that's also in the pipeline.

You better not be talking about our new website

I know plenty of you Nostriches love your butter.

How do you keep it soft and ready to spread?

A butter bell keeps your butter safe and protected while staying room temperature. You fill the bell with butter, put a small amount of water in the base, which creates a seal preventing the air from entering the container. 😊
