Avoid having your ego so close to your position that when your position falls, your ego goes with it.
Gen. Colin Powell
I suppose I should write something here to indicate that I’m still breathing.
2020 part 2 (i.e. 2021) has largely been much the same as part 1 was. Trying to keep everyone around me sane, pushing my own stuff down to deal with later because I can afford to do so and not everyone around me has that luxury, etc.
Some things have taken some turns for the worse. Others have gotten surprisingly better. I’m writing more, but in a different venue where I’m actually getting paid a little bit – oddly thankfully it’s a small amount, because if it were too much, I would lose my health coverage which I badly need right now…so, yay?
I will try to make sure I post things here more often than once annually going forward, especially on nights like tonight where things aren’t as great overall. Letting things build up too much is not wise. For now, though, I hope anybody who actually reads this is doing better than I am, as I head back into the dark.
(If you are ever in need of something to listen to late at night or during a rainstorm, I cannot recommend the Stellaris soundtracks highly enough)
