hello Beehaw, it’s a sleepy morning–and i did not get very much sleep. luckily i have no social priorities so this is not a big deal. currently reading a number of books after completely crashing out of doing that for the entire month of June. i think i can get about 3 in before the end of the month, we’ll see

i must say that the true-crime writing style is not one i am endeared to and i am finding myself cringing at how some of I’ll Be Gone in the Dark is written
On the one hand I’ve gotten a lot of reading time and have been enjoying my current book (Children of Time) much more than the last book I tried (The Dark Forest [yeah, I know it’s a modern classic of the genre, I just really didn’t like the translation]). On the other, I was with my wife all day in the ER because she developed a kidney infection. Everyone’s fine now though so… pretty mixed so far?
I’m burnt out and can’t focus at work. Really wish I had more that 2 weeks of vacation time a year
Have been there, and am never far from there. It sucks and I wish you the best in overcoming it. Any chance you’ve got a supportive boss? Mine is and it helped a lot.
Sigh, I’m okay. Work is really stressful lately. I went through an acquisition, and really got demoted in both rank and importance. Defeating, but, I’m also still glad to have a job where I can work from where my cats live.
I had a lovely weekend full of sleep. My bedroom is on the top floor, with a tall ceiling and no attic above me. It was a loudly rainy morning yesterday, so I just slept in and it was so relaxing and chill.
Today I got stuff done at work. I feel accomplished and on-track with my work goals. Tonight I’ll probably play a violent shoot-'em-up game (Payday 2) with friends online.
I need to get my tiny elderly dog to eat his breakfast as soon as I get home. My WFH partner reports Tiny Dog is a Tiny Butthead.
the greatest man in my whole life finally returned and i’ve been walking on rainbows and basking in pure sunshine. He’s my greatest LGBTQ+ ally and i feel more myself than ever. i feel like i can tackle the whole world one tiny step a a time…
my running routine has been regular again, i’m eating healthy and clean with very little cravings, and getting some eerie short story collections under my belt: Thomas Ligotti’s Teatro Grottesco and Nathan Ballingrud’s North American Lake Monsters.
it feels like the clouds have finally parted and everything everyday is just suffused with an extra encouraging glow…
Pretty good. Did some great grilling last night while watching baseball (Dodgers lost, dammit), and today we finally get a break from some very hot weather.
Preparing to go to a national park, one that my mother has been excited to visit for the last decade… Yellowstone!
We got very affordable flight ticket prices, and the whole family’s gonna be extra busy after this summer, so I’m hoping it turns out nicely. Also excited to try out my new binoculars! I want to see many borbs 🥺
