Instead of relaxing
Somehow I just have 8 million other responsibilities. Working on it!
One nice thing today, my neighbor let me know she is going out of town for the weekend and I can park in her driveway!

Day off
I always feel like I am taking too much sick time and people will be judging me but I looked at this year with my manager and I had taken 8 sick days and 6 vacation days. Something is wrong with how I am thinking!
I immediately took this Friday off to relax a little extra.
Some writing, maybe doing some garden work, going to Noisebridge, and I will get a massage. Wish me luck on getting someone who will pay attention to my need for gentle, basically geriatric, massage!
Settling in for a chillaxed morning
Do people still say “chillax”? I may be using it semi-ironically but it’s difficult to tell.
Settling in at the glorious TABLE (finally have a table after many years of no room for one). I have several writing projects going, and some non-profit planning to do, and I’m going to eat jiffy corn muffins for brunch. Huzzah!
What if we just use our blogs as a replacement
Maybe I should just post six times a day like I used to, instead of twittering. Random thoughts and diary, intermixed with the longer, more thinky “important” posts. Mastodon still just breaks my head somehow (sorry). But I will make another stab: https://mastodon.social/@lizzard
Last night: Speakeasy night for EFF members at Zeitgeist. I have a pint of beer and get non-profit lawyer recs and gossip about children with Rebecca. Chovwe is staying with me and says he is fighting for his life (from the cold). We laid around on the couches talking about philosophy, good and evil, how fear motivates people to behave violently, and whether we are both too charming and witty for our own good; he quotes Mencius and I lose an hour looking at different translations of the Analects while he falls asleep snoring gently.
Today: I remembered to move the car for street sweeping. My knees hurt like fury. Nabumetone is not cutting it. Would I have tweeted all this? No, but I think it is preferable to the zombie like scrolling and retweeting, though it is lonelier feeling until we learn to comment on each other’s blogs again.
