Usually what happens is I take time off and that fills with appointments and projects and I'm busy the entire time and it's not really a break. I barely told anyone I was off, and stayed (mostly) at home. This has been a break. Returning to work tomorrow is going to be a chore.

I even successfully ignored the purging I've been working on. Ha! (I'll never be a minimalist, but I want Things to have a Place: currently not every Thing does. I don't mind caring for Things I love, but caring for Things I'm ambivalent about? No thank you.)

We’ve really all gotta be a lot more clear headed and open eyed about this. Joni Earnst’s belief system is IN THE MAJORITY in our federal leadership. “Accept Jesus or die” is our national policy. “Kill as many people as possible to trigger the apocalypse” IS THE PLAN.

I got tired of digging up and then moving the pavers: they were fully buried, so only the top showed. Thought It was important to get them dug out now, while I still can. Moving can wait until another day.

I'm not moving the sidewalk panels again - those suckers were heavy. The gas guys thought the layout looked witchy (LOL: not traditionally so, but they're not wrong per se) and I'd like to do something cool . (Yes, at some point I'll upload a pic. Probably after I finish moving the damned trim.)

Pondering what to do with my not-a-firepit. It was built using old sidewalk panels and I'd planned to use it as a firepit, but then my gas line had to be redone and it now goes right under the firepit. It seems really unadvisable to have flames over a gas line, even if covered by earth.

I have very little interest in gardening, so having so much space set aside for some kind of floral beds that is Not Happening seems stupid. I'd rather it become yard (and I'd rather the yard not be grass.)

I've debated for quite a while about creating a Bluesky account, but it's equally clear I need an online presence. So here we are.

I don't think anyone missed me, but I'd never know, would I? Besides totally killing the account, Twitter wiped my entire history. Including everyone I followed. I'd very carefully curated my account, and that hurt.

It was a loss. I don't think I had any particular friends on Twitter, but I had people I liked to follow and tweet with upon occasion. (I've always been terrible at making friends: I'd had the account since 2006).
