I wake up with the sun most days and it feels really good. Nice and toasty under the sheets & a wool blanket in a cold house, dog laying by my feet keeping them warm too.

Last night’s dream has faded but it involved something about being in the drug business and earning the respect of Avon Barksdale, or maybe the actor Wood Harris? I get maybe one nightmare a year or so and they always involve me committing acts of extreme violence against vague personifications of things I hate and I wake up feeling awful and angry.

My back aches a bit at the end of active days but that’s because I’m fat with a big ol’ gut to carry around. I rejoined my favorite gym... right in march lol

Wake up naturally at 6:30 -> think “nah” and keep resting for a bit, give the dog belly rubs -> think about what needs to get done today and what might get done, and how you’ll try to bridge that gap -> get up a bit before the sun (8am here now) -> some granola for breakfast and pancakes on the weekend but call them “flapjacks” since it’s cooler and more outdoorsy -> some espresso in your favorite mug from a long-closed cafe that gives you so much joy that Marie Kondo would ask you to tone it down a bit -> log into work, maybe get some stuff done and exaggerate what you’re doing during standup, the work isn’t going to save you so have some perspective -> chop some wood, you need the exercise ya know -> work up an appetite, have some leftovers for lunch or maybe throw together a sandwich -> try to work on a cool project or aspect that you actually enjoy, maybe do some resume padding stuff -> read and maybe shitpost on the forums for a bit -> several hours of whatever you want + whatever you need to do; some woodworking, video games, texting & catching up with friends and/or loved ones, walk the dog before it gets too dark -> soup or stew for dinner, slurp loudly ‘cause you’re a grown-rear end man/woman and can do what you want -> get a fire going -> some brandy or whiskey to really warm up -> get some reading done, watch some sports, maybe go through your “to watch” list to find a nice movie -> retire to bed, let the dog curl up at your feet -> get frustrated at the NYT crossword and hit “autocheck”, mutter “nobody calls it that, gently caress you” and close the app in disgust -> maybe some more reading -> fall asleep soundly knowing that everything you actually have control over is doing ok, and as long as you keep that up you’re going to more than just make it

I gave up ordering out for lent since it's such a terrible habit and I'm basically vegetarian now, didn't really think about it.

Got a half hog share coming my way in September though, any vegetarian habits that last until then are going straight out the window.

Oh yeah, that BK is notorious. I never personally saw any outbreaks of violence there but only went one or two times. Busker friend of mine saw a brawl there of the "they're not moving, someone check if they're still breathing" sort and tried to avoid it ever since.

Portland is organized into quadrants with NW, SW, SE, NE. But thanks to a bend in the river there's also just North, so we actually have five quadrants.

there's a bar in North Portland called that, because lol five quadrants

And I live on one of the quadrant-dividing streets so technically my address isn't any of them it's just "east"

Years ago I had to get a car towed in Portland and somehow the towing company managed to send a dude to the exact same address but in Los Angeles. That was a very confusing "ok I'm here, where is the car?" call

Don’t remember my walk but in my little sister’s year there was one kid that was temporarily in a wheelchair because of surgery (mild hernia or something like that) so he didn’t need it but it was a precaution. He wheeled up onto the stage and got up and walked to get his diploma and the whole audience stood up and clapped like he was some hero overcoming horrible adversity while he had a huge shiteating grin on his face lol
