It feels “cold” (at work). Typically, I feel “too cold” when I need sleep. So, I would rather be sleeping now. I do not know if I have the energy to conquer the day, and I am not likely to have the strength to “seize” it. So, today, I will aim for “enduring” the day.

I feel angst / apprehensive I cannot sleep well. It takes me three hours to get into light sleep, then within 2 hours of having to get up, I finally do fall asleep. If I dream, the dreams are cryptic, dark, twisted… Seeing people carrying on as if there is nothing going on—?

Feeling… depressed. Not wanting to do a 10 hour shift. Wanted to slap about 10 of the other drivers on this mornin’s commute. Uttered some truly impressive chains of profane wording— and wishing I could now recall what some of them were.

My partner got weirded out by how much my new calathea plant wiggles during the day, so of course I had to capture an 11 hour timelapse of it wiggling.

I find it amusing that my derogatory comments regarding “divas in space” has resulted in a sundry of space nerd followers. I cannot figure out whether they realized that my comment was far from being praise…

Today I… Am annoyed at the fact that I do not have the option to listen to the podcasts of those who bring me up to speed on the events unfolding around us, while so many turn their backs on these United States. I spend any idle moments encountered during the day

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

Alive. Awake. Alert. and Oriented. Now to tackle the usual morning “doo(s)” and catch up on the horrors of the news happenings, then decide what to do with this Sunday.

I know that with the tarrifs thing, global trade, falling dollar. Women's rights, LGBT, climate change etc. we're all upset. I'm just disappointed that clipping one's toenails is still a pain in the ass we all hate. They've broken the atom down into like 35 parts? Still picking up toenail clippings

Having a very crappy shift at work. I am ready to embark on a weekend with adult beverages.

I am absolutely tired. But Happy Thursday!
