burned

i'm TIRED. but i'm having a much better time working on the new project, it's actually kinda fun.

this morning i opened up facebook and saw a whole bunch of pictures from my 20 year high school reunion, to which i was not invited. i have to admit, that really stings. it's not that i care about those people - i generally dislike most of them - but that i was excluded from a once-in-a-decade event by people who i suffered over twelve long years of my life with? jeez... that's harsh, dude.

wednesday:

starting my day with a few hours of verifying that i don't rely on twilio for 2nd factor authentication - i received an email in the middle of the night informing me that my numbers haven't necessarily been reachable SINCE 2016 AND NOBODY THOUGHT TO INFORM ME. cheers, twilio, it looks like i'll be migrating away as soon as i get a chance.

so that messed up my day. i finally got started coding my new project, and was pleasantly surprised to discover that aside from a documentation detail that took me a little while to figure out, express-es6-rest-api is surprisingly solid. it's been a long time since i've worked with a boilerplate project that actually made sense.

gd needed a ride to her sewing class, but it was delayed so mr smear and i rode around in circles and by the time the three of us got home he was already tired and sleepy.

i vaguely recall joining gd for a little bit of the new mowgli movie which is fantastic, but mostly i was online "doing stuff" (which may or may not have included working)

yesterday:

i got a LOT more sleep than i thought, but still struggled to wake up.

a morning overwhelmed by the patreon debacle, which i only learned about because i finally regained access to my account and went onto the unofficial patreon subreddit to thank them for the advice and support

taking mr smear into the pool for a quick dip, then taking gd to the gym, meeting a new friend (who might be a good connection) and getting practically no work done because  our whole table was engaged in interesting conversations, including gd once she was done working out.

i've been struggling with a sinus / throat thing since the late afternoon.

i sat for a long chat with sailor before we tried (and failed) to switch macbooks, i helped him pack up his desk and drove him home, saw one of my favourite trance pizza people walk a block from his house wearing nothing but a bath towel, returned home for dinner, watched charlie brown with mr smear, bought the first season of spongebob squarepants for him, showered him quickly (he was super tired) and put him to bed and passed out playing the adventure time game and then eventually got up to work

and learn that sailor's NOT leaving the country for good because he'd unwittingly locked himself into his rental contract

today:

damn, it's 2.30am already. i think i need to go to bed.
