Done Since 2023-01-01

I can't figure out whether this was a particularly bad week, or not. I'm just kind of drifting. Some of that, probably, is general hopelessness about the US's political situation, whether I can get the Whidbey Island house ready to sell, and whether I can find something I can do that will generate some income. (The reasons for needing extra income are somewhat complex; I have enough for now.) I haven't been sleeping well the last few weeks; not entirely clear which is the cause and which the effect.

Part of sleeping badly seems to include waking up at 2 or 3am to find myself sitting up with a computer in my lap and without my CPAP mask.

I need to trim my to-do list. Lists, because I keep moving stuff out into specialized sublists, which doesn't really help. N suggested making a short list and picking two or three to do each day. You can find a summary of the current files under Sunday, in boldface. (It's somewhat inaccurate because it's counting scheduled items and sublists; the actual total is closer to 312 items.) But I haven't made a full pass over them in months. And that's not counting project-specific lists. I need to make a sweep for those. (Ok, did that. 45 total files with the .do extension, but only 36 of those contain to-do items.)

I'm probably boring you with statistics. Sorry about that. Linux geeks may be interested in the command lines, under Sunday.
