Thank you Zoharum!

Notwithstanding the world being on fire, an ongoing global pandemic vascular disease that is being systematically ignored by governments, Nazis popping out of the woodwork everywhere, actual no-shit fractional trillionaires trying to colonize space in order to secede from the rest of the human species, an ongoing European war that keeps threatening to drag NATO into conflict with the rotting zombie core of the former USSR, and an impending bubble collapse that’s going to make 2000 and 2008 look like storms in a teacup …

I’m calling this the pivotal year of our times, just as 1968 was the pivotal year of the post-1945 system, for a number of reasons.

CHRONOGLYPH, Sougwen Chung. I love that word.

Day got held up by an external drive that’s suddenly decided to stop being visible to File Manager or Disk Management, even though I can see it in Device Manager. God forbid I should get through a day without stress.

Le Jardin (S4E2)

Murayghat emerged after the decline of the so-called Chalcolithic culture (ca. 4500–3500 BCE), a period known for its domestic settlements, rich symbolic traditions, copper artifacts, and small cultic shrines.

Researchers believe that climate shifts and social disruptions may have led to the collapse of the culture, and in response, Early Bronze Age groups began creating new forms of ritual expression.

I have bought myself blue jeans for the first time in thirty years. I have already had my mid-life crisis so I presume this is encroaching dementia.

TODAY:

OPERATIONS: Moving on to new things today and pretending I don’t have two unfinished scripts on deck. And figuring out Adobe Sign again.
STATUS: 8hrs 31m sleep, and it’s time to admit to myself that I have no scripting energy left. Inbox 87. Just had to ask the Echo what day it is.

Gorgeous day. This is probably all I’ll see of it.

OPERATIONS: need to nail down eight pages and file them and then deal with half a dozen other things I haven’t gotten around to. Looking at a shared drive and hoping it will be fully populated by the end of the day.
STATUS: inbox 78, all is quiet

Add harvesting the rhubarb to the endless to-do list. I started trying to reclaim the garden, what, three or four years ago now? I now have a sense of what I can and can’t grow, and am starting to think about winter planning, and finding some flowers that will actually grow and draw in pollinators.

Windy day. The mancub hates the wind – he doesn’t like his precious furs ruffled, apparently – and keeps nipping in and out to see if the wind’s gone away.
