Center of Gravity

this just in

• Trying something new with the blog, as you can see. Actually writing it like a -BLOG- in which I do life updates and whatnot. I simply don’t have the time to write-write the way I did as a 9-5 pencil pusher and yknow what? I think that’s a mature life change. Go me! Sometimes I forget that writing doesn’t need to involve blood sacrifice, that there’s a middle ground between thought dumping and epic passion projects. We’ll find it together.
• Addressing maintenance issues in the house is a bureaucratic effort that takes weeks to months. I’ve been making an effort to fix the wifi on my side of the house and I’m actually making some headway. More on that later, hopefully
• This week my parents said my pinakbet was “carinderia quality” which is maybe my favorite compliment I’ve gotten from them in recent memory. As the kids say, it is bus

what’s on

• Starting the Hollow by Daniel Church as part of book club. I usually hate mysteries but this one has an eldritch twist. It’s also perfect for the winter. We’ll see where that goes
• Been listening to a lot of dark synthwave. I’ve noticed that I go slower bpm when my life is really busy and chaotic? Try The Perfect Girl (Mareux) The genre kind of blends into itself, but that’s kind of what I’m looking for right now. Lots of offloading.
• I got a bunch of movies from the library but first i need to finish Fallout Season 1. I’m watching it as an honest attempt to enjoy a TV show and it’s kind of working?

lessons

• A chapter of nursing fundamentals takes between 1 and 2 hours to read through and transcribe key terms
• C. diff (Clostridioides difficile) is resistant to antibiotics and hand sanitizer
• Laughter and anger come from the same place; I can use that to my advantage

the pull – Empress

Who takes care of me? How can I take care of others? What does it feel like the universe is handing to me; am I accepting or rejecting it? Where can I find abundance when it feels I’m running on empty?

what’s next

• An attempt at Dungeons and Dragons
• Poetry
• Thai food
• Schoolyard crushes
• Consolidation (again)
• A song with really great bass
