    Today was a new record, woke up at 7:30 but didn’t leave the bed - not even to go to the bathroom - until 6pm. I have completely checked out of all my obligations and requirements today… wasn’t gonna make me feel better with no food or water, but I don’t feel substantially worse either.

    At least I’ve got dinner with me now - a nice hearty Moroccan tagine packed with veggies, and some pappadums - dragged the laptop back to the bedroom and gonna binge watch stuff until I fall asleep. Maybe I’ll start with the movie CODA since I’ve been on an apple+ run lately (🏴‍☠️, of course)

    I think this is my body just going “you sorted out the car and job. NOW RELAX”

      Sometimes you have to listen to your body and let it rest when it needs it.

    It’s crazy how much power a dream can have on us.

    Had one with my old man in it and I was a kid.

    Felt the exact same terror I felt when I was that age. There’s this look he’d give me and I knew I was absolutely fucked.

    I woke up semi hyper ventilating.

    Even after all this time, even as a grown man, you never forget that stuff I guess.

      My personal view is that, given the spelling of parmigiana, parmi is the correct shortening of the word. But it sounds stupid. So the contraction of parma is a much better option, but should technically be written as parm’a. But that looks stupid. I blame the entire problem on the Italians, we wouldn’t be having this argument at all if they just did the sensible thing and called it a schnitzel pizza.

    Good news: the auction place will take most of the furniture that can’t fit into the new place that I don’t want.
    Bad news: I have to take it myself.
    Good news: it should fit into the new car, and my lawn guy and occasional helper will drop by and help me load up the car.
    Bad news: trying to get my Google profile for the business verified and none of the methods work. This is frustrating as I’m using the practice room as a sorting hub after I cleared it yesterday.
    Good news: I stress cleared the pile of crap I scooped off the floor and slung into a very large bag and most of it is now in the bin.
    Bad news: I have a headache bordering on a migrane and I really can’t stop to indulge it.
    Good news: the old cooking chocolate seems to be helping. ;)

    Just learned what a Tesla cybertruck looks like. It’s comical. I think Elon must have presented the designers with a crayon drawing he made when he was 6 years old, and said ‘this, but in silver’.

      Not only does it look dumb af, it is also so very poorly made. Like the designers saw all the improvements to cars made over the last 70years and threw it all out. Brake issues, everything is fragile, no sensors for the boot (it will literally chop ya fingers off if you get them caught when it’s closing), the windshield isn’t safety glass, etc. It’s just a shitshow. I don’t understand how they can be driven legally here; they’re a deathtrap.
