This week was such a fever dream. The handful of days that were paused for brief periods of sleep were so confusing. Work didn’t help at all.

Missing sleep makes me a broken person in so many ways ways. Currently patching holes with espresso.

I am trying to practice mindfulness more now. And on days like the last few, it’s taking a lot of effort. I just have to quietly chant to myself, “Head down, keep moving forward.”

I know I have mentioned weekends a time or two before and will try to stop doing it so much, but I think I know why I love them. Apart from not working, it’s about the variety. I can be productive, then enjoy something, and then take a rest all in the span of an hour without guilt. That feels good.

Such a nice productive morning so far. Going to mess that all up now and do some tech-related stuff that feels productive, but isn’t productive.

Woof. Where has this week gone!? Just yesterday I was wishing it was the weekend again.

Am I ready for this week of work? Probably not. Do I appreciate how relaxing the weekend was? Absolutely.

I am terrified to count up the number of hours I spent on calls this week at work. It’s not quite 1:1 for the workweek but it would be close.

Walk in listening to Iggy Pop’s Blah, Blah, Blah and walked home listening to Tom Jones’ Reload. Somehow I fucked around and got old.

Brisk one this morning in the GTA. Still making do with a spring jacket. Just have to add gloves and a hat.

Work today has absolutely gassed me. I had non-stop meetings from 9 - 5 today with a few breaks peppered in. No time to do any work of any kind. I should be working tonight but mentally feel done. We’ll see if I conjure any magic.

My better half just surprised me with a bit of great personal news. Such a needed injection of joy during a run of exceptional sorrow. Silver linings among the storm clouds.

Weekends are woefully too short. We should add more weekend days to the week. Maybe trim back the weekdays a bit.

Going to be spending the better part of my morning getting a security system configured for a top-secret location. Oooooh, the thrills!

I guess the somewhat trite and typical thing to say would be, “Hello, World!”

But I won’t get caught doing that.
