I'm glad the reduced hours are helping, askye!

I'm feeling depressed, and I'm wondering just how much that has to do with how fucked up my gut flora is right now.

Probably a lot. Gut flora are highly influential, from what I understand. I don't know what to do about it, though, except eat things that make the good population happy? You've already got the probiotics going for you.

Sounds like health things are improving, askye. I hope they continue to do so.

Cherry clafoutis sounds like a delightful start to ones day.

Gut flora and the energy drain of being sick could both be feeding feelings of depression.

I just really don’t want to be working right now because I’m in a somewhat impossible position with my one project—I barely know anything about the project itself (I’ve been going through some of our systems and finding big big homes, it’s not been done right) and the other person on it is new too and the client is Not Happy. Ugh.

There's a fire by our Fairfield office again, so I guess it's a good thing I'm in Vallejo, but it's in my way of getting home...well, a few more hours before that's really an obstacle.

Timelies all!

Got to sleep at a more normal time last night(Mr. S fell asleep before 9!) but am still tired.

I'm glad the reduced hours are helping, askye.

Tom, I think that's a good hypothesis.

Sheryl, may you have another Mr. s asleep before 9p night.

-t, hope you get home swiftly and without incident.

Long day today for me! It started with water aerobics, which was super fun, and also... I'm a middle aged lady in a water aerobics class now. I... used to see them happening at various pools over my lifetime. Now I'm one of those ladies. Not a complaint; just an observation.

Thanks, JenP. Per Watch Duty the fire is out but there is still a lot of smoke. It sounds like I would have to detour through the next town over to get home, maybe I will go to a movie?

Also, I took an "Aqua Fit" class a few weeks ago and had the same observation about myself. I did like it but not enough to get myself to the gym at a set time like you have to do to take a class. Or get myself to the gym at all, honestly. But there were reasons for that. Now I'm just all - the times are more convenient at this other location but maybe I would rather do yoga but either one of those means higher fees and meanwhile I'm not doing anything even vaguely athletic....should do something

I really enjoy the aqua fit classes, but my gym seems to think only retired people take them because they are scheduled during my work day! Working out in a pool = more fun than in the sun or weight room.

Tired today. Took a nap mid day. Still going to the gym every morning at 6:30 with the hope that my energy will improve.
