All good notes by year

On occasion you decide take the luxury of an afternoon rest - but then you race against the very fabric of space and time to get done everything that the day requires.

There's something so serious about encouraging kids to eat vegetables for dinner, and so ridiculous about then yourself eating sugary cereal late at night.

When you start an mp3 playing, you have a sacred obligation to finish that thing a playin.

I sifted through my contacts address book today for the first time in years. Deleted about 300 contacts.

Put away the Christmas tree today. Into a giant new bag that is Christmas colored. A relief. Made new wolfsweat juice to get through the afternoons without having to eat all the cookie dough every day.

Up with the baby. That is all.

In the past 58 days I've misplaced two different Swiss Army knives in my house. This is very disconcerting.

If you promise not to tell anyone else, I'll tell you a secret: ... There are finely ground up mushrooms in the recently made meatballs.

COVID 19 update #8 - You do the dishes. You watch the TV episode and eat the nachos. You adjust the lighting. And it is enough.

What does it mean that all the state capitols were ready for armed protests - and, at most, a dozen people showed up? 3 showed up in Iowa.

This morning I bought turnips for 95 bells. Hoping for one of those 445 bell price spikes this week.

The other day I told my wife two things: 1) Netflix was shutting down service to the Wii U; 2) The actor in that show is also a well known rapper. It was like I had remarked upon the cloudy weather outside. She could not possibly have cared less. Which is reasonable.

Thought about folding laundry but decided to play Animal Crossing. Great ending to a sad story. 

Your won't believe what happened in the episode of Star Trek I just watched. A teleporter accident caused the main crew members to be beamed into a holosuite program as enemies of the doctor, who was a spy. He had to avoid killing the crew so that their essences could be recovered from the program.

Important update: in recent days, I've discovered that if I get the coffee for the next day readyin the afternooninstead of the evening, I can save time for a critical juncture in the day when I'm often pressed for time and seeking peace and not more random stuff to do.

President Trump was booted permanently from Twitter this evening. The world feels different to me somehow after this. I feel a sense of relief, but also an odd uncertainty and displacement.

Did Grimes also move to TX? That is a much bigger deal than that other guy moving to TX.

Trying to get down some thoughts on the day the Capitol was stormed. Our country has been embarrassed and shamed in front of the entire world today. If you voted for HIM, you had 4 years to know the character of who you were supporting. You had 20 years to know his character. You knew the

My 3 y/o has this concept of the "small bite." It's not a "small bite" in the traditional sense. His definition is like biting just a few molecules off of something.

The experience of a 5 y/o and a 3 y/o playing Animal Crossing together is incredibly grating and frustrating. Sandpaper across my soul. Why must it be so difficult??

Getting the baby out for a walk around the neighborhood this morning.

Arrived via warp 7 at S4 of Deep Space Nine while doing dishes tonight. Why did they change the theme song? Adding that small underlying pulse ruins the rubato feel of the original theme. For shame.

This is just to say: I was awake when the calendar turned over to 2021. As evidenced by the time stamp on this note. Many fireworks went off in our area and I thought the kids would wake. Also, we couldn't see the Animal Crossing NYE countdown because our Resident Center hadn't been upgraded.
