i bought an outside chair last week, it’s a low down thing, quite close to the ground, more of a chill out with food and a beer kinda seat, definitely not a sit and work kinda chair but i’m hoping to still make it work for those early morning sunny/sunshine days that i know are coming.
nothing like putting on those shorts (or having them on from sleeping in the hammock anyway) and stepping out and it’s already warm — not brutal, just nice and warm, day breaking, breakfast bowl and a big gulp of water to fall back into the body and take those deep breathes.
we’ve had a bunch of pseudo spring breaking mornings recently where i thought i’d seen the turning weather system only to be confronted with a morning after that was icy and bitter. I think we are turning the corner thou and i’ll soon be mad at myself for not buying more cooling air fans to get me through what i expect will be a brutal summer.
it’s been difficult to focus on my own creative pursuits and hobbies of late, as an empath (or at least someone that seems to suck up the negativity that abounds) i’ve been most certainly noticing the data on inflation, pricing of food (good food) and the fact that the supply chains might go pop again real soon (check out the china covid figures) — let alone the war in europe, i mean we always have splinter wars but now nearly a month in, russia ain’t stopping any time soon.
i do try and suppress more these days of course, you have too, unless your gonna pick up a gun and head over there and fight in the foreign legion they have setup then really it’s just filling my head with visuals and content and frustration that peace seems to only be at the end of such folly — the saying you can’t change an economy without a war is always floating in there somewhere.
i’ve lined up my turmeric and my chewy “mother” pills for today, one that helps with inflammation and the other that resets or sorts my gut bacteria on the daily. it all helps, i certainly notice it the day after taking it. I’m sure i’ll be switching back to wearing my mask a lot more in the coming weeks and taking these mega vitamin c things i bought in the states if i spot a sign of a cold!
i can’t help feel like we might be going back into another lockdown but i feel that’s gonna take another couple of weeks before we start taking out fingers out of our arses in europe and do something about it — real shame too as systems had only started to really get back online again, i guess it will be a race for the toilet roll and flour again, i hope we learned some lessons.
the idea of a fourth jab too me right now seems foolhardy, i just don’t feel like having that much synthetic material in my body is a good thing, while i’m very much into science and data there is a point where you just wonder how much of something is enough — give me a fucking tablet already and i’ll keep taking those instead of becoming a pin cushion.

kinda lost my way with the daily writing and even thou i did have a morning routine setup for it i ended up on other things. With summer coming into view, partner making big strides in her career and work front it’s time for me to start rebooting and powering up the engine of creativity again.
i do think a lot of it has to do with what’s happening in the world right now (even thou something is always happening right) but it’s really difficult to be authentic and sincere on camera about wanting to enjoy or talk about something when you have this background process going on all the time.
You have to guard your energies, especially online as any vulnerability these days is exploited and used against you. There is a lot of damaged systems and humans in the world, at different stages of repair, you have to tread carefully. Being true to yourself can bring you the most karma i’ve found and when the most doesn’t feel right your just forcing it for some other gain.
macOS just updated and came with a bunch of stuff i never really wanted (lol) i wish they would do more fixing bugs, building better malware, closing up privilege holes in there programs and code. I’d love a better hardware firewall and a complete system reboot (heck even a few little linux boxes) but i’ve gotta find my flow again first.
I’m still investing in crypto even thou it’s sideways and a bit flat. I’m more bullish on hive than i was a year ago now that i’ve seen that it’s holding out and making changes. You’ll never break the mantra of the top but maybe that’s ok, at least it’s robust and solid and everyone wants to see it succeed.
I think web3 is here to stay, what with DAO’s and the way that streamers (take @drdirespect) are realising that unless they build out their own community who will fund the things they want to build they will always be in debt to the money men who just want a return and don’t give two fucks about the gamers — if you follow the socials you can see people leaving corporate centralised companies for crypto companies and decentralised finance.
today i’m hoping should be a relatively steady day, wednesday came around too soon, meerkat wednesday, i perfect time to look up and around and double down on something that peaks my interest. I really really need to get on top of my calendar and time, start marking out blocks of time and just be laser focused on them over everything.
have a fucking great day.
