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.

For the first time in my life I rented a drained snake. Amateur plumbing. My body is tired. I've gotten way too fat and weak. The laundry room was backing up into the house. The kitchen sink was backing up into the house. I'm filthy and need a shower.
Reflection: Apart from money, I don't know why I put this off for 2 weeks. I feel accomplished. My body hurts and I feel weak. I feel relieved that this task is done. I feel encouraged to do something else. It might not be today but I have to do something else in the house. The list of things I have to do is way too long. And my body is so weak.
Lesson learned: Just do the things. Take 20 minutes everyday and do something for your body. 20 minutes everyday, something to make your body better.
What am I doing?
Was given a note from my partner today. I'm not sure how I'm feeling after reading it. I know what is being expressed but my knee jerk reaction wasn't to their desire. My reaction was self centered. I haven't spoken or seen them since reading it. I'll read it again at lunch and before I go home. Really need to consider what to do with this information and decide how/if I should respond.
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.

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.

What is going on? I'm on my phone more. I'm not doing the steps. Sleep is lacking. I'm not getting into motion. Discipline is falling apart in my mind. My thoughts are not positive. Why? How? When?
It's too much again? But last week it wasn't.
I forgot, I am playing in a Greyhawk game, got a Barbarian Drow named Rhaez’Varyntha (Rayz-VAH-rin-thah) "Wrath Weaver" of Selvetarm 🖤🖤🖤
Emergency after emergency the last few weeks. Have I really not been paying attention?

I didn't very good last week. Not sure what happened. I had to go back to understanding why I want these things. Took the oldest to a splatter room. They seemed to enjoy it. It helped me get out of my head. Work is picking up and going to be taking a lot of time. Did five 12 hr sifts last week.
