better

i slept last night, my neck's still a bit wonky but definitely more stable. and then i woke up this morning from a long nightmare of trying to escape pennywise's clutches with my family - he was throwing some kind of party at a hostel or daycare and the dream ended with me telling him he needed to love himself.

mr smear's class went to kirstenbosch yesterday, and he's been hypersensitive about bullying so he's perceiving it even when it's not happening - i've borne witness to this personally -  and i tried talking to him about it. after a while he shut down, and then later when i returned home he seemed to be doing okay, i hope he's been processing in a good way.

work yesterday was a mixed bag, but mostly good. one thing that's come up over the past few days is that it's become clearer and clearer that i need to reformat my dev machine to linux. so i'm going to do that this weekend.
