What am I doing?

Reminders left by ancestors.

Reflection:

Ok. I mid day shuffle yesterday, that's ok. Instead of working out with weights I did lots of walking while I fished. I am counting that as my work out. I got the laundry washed and dried. Still need to put it away. I'm feeling mentally better. I don't know how I fell into the pit despair last week or the week before. I do feel physically like I'm picking up a cold. I managed two workouts last week. I'm hopeful I can get three this week. It was fun going fishing yesterday, it has been a month since I got out there. Something about the water lapping and the repetitive motions has a calming effect.

I really a tired of being a student. I love learning but being a student is draining. Not even half done. I got to keep reminding myself why. The reason I want a masters is so, if I get laid off again I'll find a new job faster. The job pool is smaller for people with masters.

Plan:

Put away laundry,

Put away dishes,

Strength based work out,

Homework,

Fishing again, if all else complete.

Today: 1/13/2025

Slept too little. Mentally drained after work. Not achieved step goal. Not achieved physical goal. Not achieved housework goal. Complete all assignments for school yesterday and steps.

Reflection: I need sleep. I don't work right when not sleeping. Even caffeine doesn't help. Sad about missing all targets for the day. Angry about people being closed minded at work. Confused on if I'm being closed minded. Lingering effects of not enough sleep. Booooooooo. Did manage some reading for school. Not sure I absorbed any of it. Tomorrow will tell.

Next day goals: 4000 steps. One load of dishes cleaned and put away. One load of laundry cleaned and put away. Draft discussion board post. Do the work things. Connect to the kids.

Hajichi -- banned tattoo practice originating in Okinawa, Japan

a new shirt to say that fire and the ecosystems of so-called California are inextricably tied.

in the wake of the most devastating Los Angeles wildfires to date, this is a wearable reminder to all that such harm is preventable, to support your local indigenous communities, to educate yourself on indigenous land stewardship practices, and to see how you can help heal the land. <3

100% of proceeds go to an Altadena family that is working to rebuild after losing everything in the Eaton fire of 2025. Read more for a fun fact about these plants~

Though there is no such thing as a fireproof plant, the species repped on this shirt are fire resistant, drought tolerant species native to so-called "California". they are excellent for native wildlife and pollinators, and endorsed for landscaping use by Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego county fire departments.
