If you can’t breathe as slowly as instructed, breathe a little faster; whatever it takes to keep it smooth. Then slow down as you improve. I find when I’m anxious I can’t breathe smoothly, and sometimes breathing exercise works and I get back to a smooth, slow breath. Other times I just can’t relax long enough to calm down. Be easy on yourself and take small steps.

Which is, I believe, the origin of the Latin ’ursa’ and Spanish ‘oso’

On the advice of my therapist I’m timing myself doing various household tasks to help out with ADHD time blindness. Hopefully if I have a library of average time it takes to do dishes, laundry, make dinner, take a crap (need to distinguish between with and without Hexbear open) I will have an easier time managing to get these things done.

My uncle was a naval officer, so I got to go on tiger cruise once. They did a display of the CIWS which resulted in half the deck being covered in mildly radioactive shell casings which were then swept into the sea. Fun stuff. At the time I remember thinking yikes, seems like you wouldn’t want to risk your crew’s safety by littering shells all over the deck for people to trip over, but knowing it’s the last line of defense it makes a bit more sense. It’s an emergency and you’ve got to spit all the depleted uranium at the incoming missile, who cares if one guy slips on a shell casing and gets a concussion.

And here I am considering buying a framework because it’s cheaper than a new MacBook… it’s been a while since I bought one new either. Had a desktop for the last ten years and would have kept it running except I got a free used desktop, then got a cheap used MacBook and figured I’d get rid of the big boys. Now the MacBook battery and SSD are failing and it’s very difficult/expensive to fix (plus the RAM is soldered) so I’m considering the Framework as a more upgradable option.

I mean he seems about as dumb as two hammers, but a lot less useful

This is fantastic, thanks!

One gin-soaked insole worth of gin and I’ll be on my way
