Go, Jesse, review like the wind.

I heard a long time ago that statistically speaking the tallest candidate for President usually wins. So de Blasio has that going for him.

I totally hear you on the one-thing-per-day limit, msbelle. Doing that one thing is a huge accomplishment, any day that you can do that you've done a lot. Doing the routine things that you aren't counting is a big deal, too, honestly. The hardest thing in the world is living in it and you are keeping on with it.

I feel like I can do like 1 thing toward a big energy thing a day (in addition to the basics of getting myself up, dressed, to work, and actually do work). Feeding myself seems like it should be on that list as a basic, but it is actually a big energy thing because I need to be eating healthier and not eating out as much.

I feel this entirely, msbelle. Everything seems to take big energy. Many forks, few spoons, no shields. I try to do one Big Thing every day, but that doesn't seem like it's enough. There are so many Things.

I wonder if I went back to work too soon. My head's not in it, and my heart's not either. But if I'd waited any longer, I'm afraid I would've lost too much ground. I keep telling myself, I do it for the money, and I like the money, so buckle up.

One thing is absolutely enough. I get feeling like it is not, though. I am often hit with the "I have so much to do I might as well not do any of it" whammy.

Oh yeah, I meant to say -- I often do no Things other than work! Working all day is plenty. It's a good thing I'm happy to have the same thing for dinner days in a row, because I can just heat it up.

I ate too much fried food for lunch, and now I feel icky.

Mmm, fried food. Sorry for the ick.

I'm picking up a French Onion soup and tuna salad sandwich for lunch. Comforty comfort.

Ow. Wtf. I felt fine when I woke up and then suddenly half an hour ago out of nowhere a terrible headache (or toothache? Hard to say) started. I have been known to clench my teeth at night and wake up to a headache from that, but not get one all sudden-like! Argh.

Zen, I hear you. And I am worried I will waste away the time I'm taking off and not get anything special or different done. But I need the time off, I was so annoyed and frustrated yesterday I wanted to scream.

meara, if all you do with your time off is get yourself not annoyed and frustrated it will be time well spent.

Can I get a grant to keep saying this stuff to people? I'm not good at all about living it, but I can say it all day long

I'm editing yet another article about opioid overdose deaths, and it uses the term "opioid treatment program" and abbreviates it "OTP", which is giving me the giggles every time I see it.

Oddly apropos
