I'm pretty sure we were better about car maintenance in 2020 than we were about people maintenance.

I don't have a car but truer words, man.

All right, doctor's appointment on Thursday to get started on my people maintenance, salon appointment booked for Saturday for a haircut (with possibility for scheduling another visit for color if the experience is good), annual physical scheduled for the first week of August to keep me going on the people maintenance. Optometrist visit will probably be in September.

I let half of 2020 go by with body damage on my car unrepaired due to not wanting to deal with insurance, so I really can't claim to have been better about that.

Is it ok to get a massage now? I don't want to put anyone at risk...

If you're vaxxed and so is your masseuse you should be fine. I guess you can just ask them.

Omg. Apparently my body can tell the difference between 80 degrees (warm but fine) and 82 (nope too hot). Doggo and I were fine last night and most of today but it kept getting warmer down here all day and now I’m lying here awake with ice packs on me while the dog chews on ice cubes and I can’t fall asleep. Just messaged a friend begging to go over there tomorrow—there are some other places I could go but not with the dog.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I've been getting massages. If you're careful and they're careful, I'm sure it's fine.

Things have been busy. Work is busy. TCBITW is getting married and moving out in August. A person in my network reached out with a possible job with Mythical Games and after three interviews I'm waiting to see what happens. I'm pretty happy with things as they are, so its very low stakes, but the money sounds like it would be really good and it looks like it would be fun/interesting.

Anyhow, I've been doing better and am trying to get back into the swing of things with board development. I actually have updates to push finally.

That sounds like an exciting possibility, Gud. Wow, marriage. How do you feel about the pairing?
