I went running on one day and hiking with a comrade this week. 
Made a bomb-ass lentil and chickpea stew for today and the next 3 days 
I frankly don't know how the average atomized American family copes with raising children.
Apparently they are coping very poorly, as per recent surveys:
"After breaking out responses from people with children under age 18, the APA reported that 48 percent of those parents and caregivers describe themselves as completely overwhelmed."
"The parent-specific breakdown also found that 41 percent said most days they "were so stressed they couldn't function" — double the number reported by non-parents — while 42 per cent said they were so stressed they felt numb."

Even with a year’s worth of U.S. weapons on the way, Ukraine cannot count on future aid packages, particularly if Donald Trump becomes President again.
The chatGPT prompt for this article was: "Make the dumbass reader of The New Yorker think that they are reading an article about Ukraine while actually serving them an advertisement for Genocide Joe"
I actually managed to finish a book I started this month which is pretty rare for me, feels good!
Hell yeah, which book?
I start work back up this week, my goal is to not shrivel up and die lol
Relatable

My goal this week was to go running on two days and I managed to do it. I also practiced meditation on 4 days. My goal is the same for next week, I want to go running on two days again. I also want to eat enough in order to have energy to exercise.
The thing that I want to share with the class today is this super interesting podcast episode - Michael Pollan — This Is Your Mind on Plants. It's not strictly self-improvement related but it's very interesting. He talks about three plants - opium, caffeine, and mescaline - and their effects on human history. He mentions that caffeine was important to capitalism because it improved productivity and enabled people to work night shifts.

Some stuff I've been playing lately:
God of War (2018) - This is my snowy winter game because I like to play games that are appropriate for the season. I was hesitant to start playing because I thought that the kid would be annoying but it turns out that the kid is cool and Kratos is the annoying one lol
Wildfrost - Another snowy winter game, this one is a roguelike deckbuilder with an incredible aesthetic. It's a bit too hard and punishing but I like it.
Risk of Rain 2 - It has the potential to be an amazing game but it's held back by some dumbfuck decisions.
Backpack Battles - Fun inventory management game where your backpack filled with stuff fights against other people's backpacks in asynchronous multiplayer.
