back to school

 on the one hand, i was a bit disappointed that mr smear wanted to go to school by himself today. on the other, we've had plenty of time together over the past few days - arguably a little too much, even :P

i barely slept last night. mostly i was bothered by thoughts about stuff i really don't care about. which seems weird.

i began the day reading (part of our family screen-time policy), then took care of some side-project maintenance before heading to work. it was a busy day, and rather loud, and i had to leave early so it felt a bit pressured, but on the whole it was good. and i've made some additional good progress over the past couple of hours as well.

gd was really nervous about her dental implant procedure this evening, but it went smoothly.

my neck/nerve pain's been much better, but on the bus home i felt pressure and nausea, and then my right arm started hurting...

oh! on our way into the apartment we spotted a jackal, and it was hanging out with one of the neighborhood cats and eating the cat food. it was skittish, but hungry enough that it wasn't going anywhere.

gd's seitan-shuwarma and majadra dinner was delicious.

between putting mr smear to bed and working, i got in an hour of slay the spire. i think i might just play a little more.
