I saw an AI bot called "Tako" (logo is a little squid) and now, I have a craving for Takoyaki 🀀

I need to accept that the things will not get done today and stop trying to force it... A self-care day is needed. Hard for me to accept this realisation, but I have to trust that resting will mean being able to do all the things on Monday. πŸ’ͺ
