Made some tea in a travel mug for my gig tonight. It was almost gone and I went to take the last swig and the teabag (which I had left in there to steep) had burst and I got a mouthful of debris. At least it was the last swig.
Bandcamp Friday! That means all purchases go 100% to the artist today. A good day to check out https://heathallyn.bandcamp.com/
There's a special kind of brain chemical release when you finally solve a technical problem that has been plaguing you for weeks and taken up many hours of time investigating and experimenting.
Just realized that I haven’t used photoshop since CS6 but I still say it as a verb, “I’ll photoshop that.”
I’m sleeping more now than when I was more sick. I hope this passes! This is an insane amount of sleeping.
New fun game: is my nose burning because of post-covid lingering congestion and symptoms or because I like having the window open when it’s nice and it’s high allergen time in Austin?
December 2. And it’s a gorgeous 65F/18C autumn day in Austin, TX. Seasons are running late.
Day 7 and it’s mostly just some sniffling, some coughing, but feeling fine aside from THERE IS NO HEATH, ONLY SLEEP.
Apple health: “New sleep trend. Higher for 5 days.”
Huh. Weird. That also coincides with COVID. CRAZY!
Reason why I worked QA for many years: my mind can’t let go of a problem. I’ve been deeply immersed for days in some weird website problems that ultimately don’t even matter but my mind must solve these mysteries out of principle.
Random thought of the day: Corvid is only one letter from covid yet one is so cool and one is so not.
Many medical experts are not fans of multi-symptom OTC medications but dang, that’s almost all there is now. Finally found one simple “nasal decongestant” but it took some searching!
While OF COURSE I’m very glad to feel on the road to normal again, I’d be lying if I said there wasn’t a tiny part of me that’s like “Oh I guess I have to start DOING THINGS again. No more carte blanche to just check out, sleep and rest all day and night.”
The old sitcom “Alice” would have hit way differently if Flo’s catch phrase had been “Mel, kiss my taint!”
Y’all! What if “Bigfoot” is actually just “Smalleverythingelsebutnormalfeet”?
And no I’m not high.
