Done Since 2024-12-15

Well, happy sun-return to those who celebrate it (and even to those who don't). I meant to make a Solstice post yesterday, but I hardly ever follow through on anything and that was no exception.

Still not practicing nearly enough, but I went out for a walk Thursday, registered for health insurance (which I should have done over a month ago), set up DigID, got our DAFT business registered, and have been exercising a little in the mornings. Still letting things fall through the cracks, and very down on myself. Getting anything done is hard, which includes getting out of bed most mornings. (I have to be a little more careful about how I do that, too -- Bronx bit my toe Tuesday morning because I was letting it dangle over the side too long while I was trying to convince myself to get up. Cat.)

A few good things happened: our living room couch arrived Monday, which was good. It's in sections, and I'm refraining from putting the big pieces together until I'm sure it's not going to have to be moved. A very lovely dark green. The living room is, gradually, getting organized. And I had a very nice video call with E Thursday morning (Wednesday night for her), as she was setting up for a household solstice party (Thursday is her day off).

Hit an unexpected emotional land mine yesterday singing Paper Wings. That's not a bad thing at all.

If you need a quick cheat sheet for the command line, go to tldr: 📚 Collaborative cheatsheets for console commands. There's a another one at cheat.sh.

Check out Conway's Game of Life as a Musical Instrument and watch out for rabbit holes. Speaking of rabbit holes, also be careful around Quanta's The Unraveling of ‍Space-Time
