Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh man, JZ. Like you needed something else. Best thoughts to your dad!

All day, I felt like I had been peer pressured by the news elsewhere into wearing my puffy coat today, because it wasn't actually that cold. But then I had to walk home through a surprise blizzard! So that worked out. By blizzard, I mean probably not that much snow, but it was super windy.

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

We got the mini-blizzard in NYC, too: [link]

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

It's in the comparatively balmy high teens here, but when I came home for dinner the sodas in my refrigerator felt warmer than my hands.

Our wings are not tired.

And... my dad's in the hospital

Parents! Sending healing ~ma in his direction. I'm sorry that this has added to your stress.

It's the same, but Canadian! And bowing to Pillsbury's North American copyright of the term Bake-Off.

Coding and Sleeping

Today I get to see the last 4 years of my work burn. Everything I do always fails in the end.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

You are not your work, Gud. I know it's frustrating, but it's not a judgment on what you've done or your quality as a person.

Can't say it better than Dana.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Today I get to see the last 4 years of my work burn.

I'm really sorry, Gud. That must be a terrible feeling.

Everything I do always fails in the end.

I know that must be how you're feeling, but that is your brain lying to you. I hope you can get some help to see that more clearly.
