Saturday

Staying here another night.  Feeling totally allergic to having any sort of To Do List for the day.  Rereading one of my favorite novels.  Oh, yeah, I was going to meditate, I'll do that now.

note to self

Bug, you don't have to be a musician, and a writer, and a managing attorney, and a caregiver, and a friend, and a partner, and a boy, and physically fit, and politically engaged, and the financial support for everybody ...

Just relax today.  Have some fun.

Watch a Brazilian TV show about a nonbinary teen who moves to Sao Paulo to live with her gay cousin and become a tattoo artist.  Relax.

socks

There's a serious difference between socks I've worn for a day and fresh socks.  My feet appreciate.  Fresh socks.  Reminds me of back when I'd run for XX miles in the summer humidity, training for a marathon, and my socks would be soaked and I'd get back to the car and put on dry socks for the drive home.  Dry socks.  Fresh socks.  Whoever invented socks?!?

Socks are at least 3000 years old, according to Wikipedia.  As an invention, I mean.

Watching a gay mystery -- "Last Ferry" -- as I remind myself that it's totally OK to just relax and let go.  I don't need to have goals for my down time.  Was a stressful week, I don't need to have goals for my down time.

Sounds like tomorrow I'm picking up B on the way back to the house.

Told sister-in-law we're not going to do Turkey Day.  CDC guidance, Pandemic, etc.  Yesterday was the 4th highest number of confirmed COVID-19 cases, we're entering the 2nd Wave, I think.

It's getting dark earlier now, Dark Mode.  And the heat is on in the condo now.

Looking forward to talking with K on the phone, but may happen tomorrow instead, which is OK.

While T is away I'm going to play some virtual board games with Steve.  A week to myself at the house will be strange.  Gotta bring back stuff from the condo tomorrow that I'll want at the house, not sure what that stuff will be.  The iPad, the backup laptop, but anything else?

your first October

I don't know why it feels new to tell myself that it's OK to relax and have fun.  But it feels new.  There's something about being on the spectrum that makes repetitive things feel new all the time.

really liked this show, forgot, remembered

EastSiders

It's on Netflix, Bug, remember!

This was an original Bug at Condo show :-)  How did I lose track of it?

How long have I had this space?  I'm falling out of time again.  How long has this condo been mostly vacant?

Think of it as dog years, Bug,

seriously

EastSiders is like a friend from the Before, of whom I had forgotten, of whom is making me very happy that she exists,

and other strange grammar/gender constructions from the,

I'm suddenly nostalgic for 2012, how innocent a time that she was,
