Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

TWC Internet seems to be back up for me, for whatever that's worth.

Backup generator keeps kicking off. Wonder what's up with that. But not enough to actually ask or anything...

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
My boss's internet was down this morning. My internet's fine, but my train broke down on the way to work. They had trouble keeping the engine running. Eventually we had to get off and wait for the next train.

Our major application is inaccessible this morning. Remains to be seen if any work will be getting done...
Meanwhile, I'm not sure if my new watch is going to work out. I got it specifically to track lap times and heartrate while I swim and trying it out this morning it didn't really work as expected. Possibly user error, though, I'm not giving up yet.

I managed to cook a bunch of stuff last night, do laundry, pack my suitcase, and get to bed before midnight. I don't know how it's possible to feel like I've overpacked and also feel like I'm not bringing that much stuff, but I blame stress brain.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I don't know how it's possible to feel like I've overpacked and also feel like I'm not bringing that much stuff,
I feel like that every time I pack for a trip!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I end up feeling like I'm bringing the wrong stuff.
I seem to usually make one mistake. Sometimes it's small, like a toothbrush (well, for me that's a major crisis, since I use an electric one, and I forget how to move my hand), sometimes it's my entire cosmetics bag of stuff that doesn't trigger migraines.
I never underpack, though.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I used to be good at packing, but I am out of practice. These days just packing to go the gym is demonstrating how far I have fallen.
