Fuck I'm TiRED

It is 2:01 AM and my Oura is telling me it is my bedtime. I am very tired despite having taken two days off work ahead of the weekend and today is Saturday. Does time off even help when there is little rest and no way to get away from it all? I took a nap today and really needed it because my back hurt a lot. That rest at least allowed my to complete my nightly 2.5 mile walk and struggle through some light weight lifting tonight. There is no editing today. No word-smithing or drafts. This is just stream of consciousness to get the work started.

I had hoped to get a better start on this. That will have to wait. I still hope to produce posts weekly in the future. I have lots of ideas. Here is where I am thinking of going with upcoming posts:

1) Just because someone that disagrees with you is wrong, doesn't make you right. Very relevant with the pandemic around us and everyone seemingly an armchair expert. This toxic thinking is pervasive right now.

2) The PTO mom who didn't want to fund the school board and the direct line from there to where we are today.

3) Who I am donating to now and why.

4) A eulogy for Anneliese Betz. A wonderful woman who had a profound impact on my life despite not having any blood relation.

5) Reading update with reflection on books I've read recently. This should be a regular occurrence.

We'll see where this goes.
