1st day of school! i discovered that Chrome is usurping my DNS-server-based website blocker to keep the kids from playing browser games instead of doing schoolwork. tonight i put their ethernet into the managed switch & tomorrow they go on a VLAN & get filtered. sigh.
i can’t think of anything useful to do, and i can’t justify doing anything i consider “fun” so... i should just go to bed, because, nobody can argue with sleep, i guess.
1.9” of rain received in less than an hour in Rindge. past 24 hours we’ve gotten more rain (3.66”) than we did for the entire month of June (2.44”) #NHwx #KNHRINDG5
i've now been exclusively using a standing (only) desk at home for 4 months. one thing i really miss from my sit/stand setup in the office is: leaning back in my chair. for various reasons, leaning back in my chair was quite useful.
today i used my new battery powered lawn mower for the first time and it was a series of incredible epiphanies anyway i hope you are well and your weekend is peaceful and restorative

i wasn’t expecting it, but tonight: middle aged man, former AV crew chief/technical theater producer was completely enraptured by astounding writing, performance, and production.
i am nonsense, and nobody should care, but i am different now. amazing.
* nope, doesn’t need a hole to see the apple logo * nope, doesn’t need your giant logo of random company * nope, that one looks like it will actually harm my phone * nope, that looks like a robot ate my phone
depression fam: does your brain ever conflate self-care with selfishness? like whatever time and attention you need to take in order to address (being basically a filth-producing animal) is indulgent?
yet another holiday weekend i’ve chosen to ruin myself with work outside. i’d probably feel better if our house looked great. but this is all work to keep it from looking bad.
yesterday i did too many of the things, which means today i was inclined to avoid any small number of the things. eventually i may learn to temper my weekend activities to average out and be less ruinous.
