This Year

I drove to Violet to school and walked the Reservoir. I got Sandman to play again so listened to that. I'm going to buy the second volume when I finish with this on. Beautiful day with an exquisite October blue sky.

There's a lot on my plate right now. Or on my back? Birthday, condo mess, shows, website testing. It's affecting my sleep. The pandemic is this quiet stressor that makes everything else more intense. Reaching out for help at least. A caterer, a designer, colleagues. I need to make lists and remember that these things only seem to be happening at the same time.

Some good news on the condo in that we're going to get paid and approved to start working. But who to hire? I need help with the kitchen cabinets. Some wise counsel. It's good to have the luxury of paying people to help. I wonder if that's a class thing. If you're rich, you just hire someone. If poor, you call a friend or family member who does their best. But it creates connections and community. Capitalism not so much.

Still trying to treat myself kindly. Sleep and sunshine and Bach are my superpowers. I'm gonna make it.
