not-so-functional

wednesday was a write-off, and i'm actually kinda proud of myself for taking off a sick day when i needed it. i did nothing of value all day (aside from getting mr smear to and from school), i just rested all day. and most of the night.

i finished watching the original back to the future, which i decided could be handled by mr smear. but then i thought of some of the things in the second movie, and now i figure we can wait a few years...

we all watched the fifth element together in the evening. there're a few uncomfortable minutes (the take-off scene) that didn't seem to interest mr smear, and everything else ("except the kissing") was enjoyed by all.

yesterday i worked from home, and i was feeling pretty relaxed. my boss had given me some uncharacteristic praise, a few of us had a good meeting about security disclosures and the implications of using copilot's offerings in our proprietary codebase, and i admitted to a coworker that i thoroughly hate everything to do with our ci/cd solution.

i spent most of the afternoon upgrading something that was long overdue an upgrade, in spite of the fact that one of the elements was left pointing to the old API because the provider hasn't made it available on their new one... even though they've been threatening to turn off the old version for over two years now :/

aside from a quick grocery run, and an hour or so of a founders' meeting, last night was quiet.

this morning saw me trying and failing to produce a satisfactory recording of the slam - i thought it was satisfactory until gd informed me otherwise - and i've just spent some time failing to communicate my thoughts to midjourney. otherwise, we've done our weekly grocery shopping and i've failed to do any of the things i *needed* to do because i've been very invested in self-care. which means doing nothing that feels like work.

so there.
