I’m wearing my watch on my right arm because I found that wearing it on my left discouraged me to measure my blood pressure.

I’m getting older and heavier.

A small selection of meats at my local deli

My wife has been telling for weeks that there were going to be shortages on certain kinds of food. Not in the post-apocalyptic kind of shortage where we’d have to think about eating someone sort of shortage.

But more of a we’d need to not be wasteful because there isn’t a much of this as we’re used to kind of shortage. It just made me think about how much food that we waste, not just me and my family, but society in general.

After all, you don’t have to look far to hear a story about someone getting fired for letting people know that a store would rather dump it all in the garbage than to give it to local food banks.

Still, I’m optimistic about what’s coming for us in the coming month and telling my children that they should probably get that list for Santa in early.

Hey @maique! Here is a picture of one of the sandwiches. I think I spend too much time rolling the meat in the sandwich in an attempt to get some texture.

It’s the little things in life that really, really irate me when it comes to Apple’s software. All I wanted to do was read the MacStories iOS and iPad review on my iPad and it feels like I’m being punished in some ways.

Now the problem is that I have the file on my Mac, but there is no indication of how much of it has been loaded to the server or when I can expected it to be completed so that I can read it on my iPad. A true first world problem.

On top of that, there doesn’t seem to be any control over when I don’t want it to be on the cloud or if I want to delete it.

There are soooo many text editors to choose from these days.

A plethora of text editors.

If there was ever a time that you wanted to explore different ways to write text on a Mac, this would be that time. I’m currently bouncing between a few as I work through my goal of writing 100 words a day1. I’m planning on writing more about this after the month is over, but I will say that it’s been kind of fun to see what they all have to offer.

Strangely enough, I’ve been having the urge to write with pen and paper.

Went to get some air.

A clear day with blue skies and dry grass.

It was a pretty full day, I woke up later than I usually do and looks sometime making coffee. My daughter had a soccer match and it felt good to be able to see it without worring about smoke and heat.

Dune on the Family TV.I also attempted to watch Dune tonight, but I didn’t get much further than 16 minutes before everyone else left the room and I turned the movie off.

I also spent the evening with my wife watching the movie “We Broke up”. I was a short comedy that left me feeling sad as the couple… well… broke up. The difference being that they separate without a lot of screaming or infidelity. Just drifted apart and found that they wanted something different in their respective lives. We saw it because it had Chidi in it.

the day after the tears

Yesterday was pretty chaotic.

It feels like today went to an opposite extreme.

Just feeling lethargic and the dread that I’m going to mess up.

I started to think about what my daughter said about wanting more control of her life. With the pandemic, I don’t know if there is anyone who feels in control.

We decided that we’ll go for more bike rides and I came up with a plan to start the day with writing in the more what kind of self care we are going to do. At the end of day we’d see how much of it had accomplished.

If you know of a way raise a 12 year old girls confidence, please let me know.
