Nose to the grindstone 2025

[Greg]

I can stop hitting refresh. It's not you. It's me.

[Drunk Monk]

Hoping to get up in time for yoga. I have the day off from YMAA (got a bunch of use-or-lose vacation days left in 2025) but I’ll tend to some KFM work and household cleaning & chores.

[Greg]

Need to talk to my Hubris about expectations. I'm going to clear out my feelings of rejection to make room for all new feelings of rejection due on Monday. I have an afternoon telephone conference with my Tax guy to round out the day.

[Drunk Monk]

Got Kung Fu, then still have some remaining chores (didn’t get to my KFM work at all) then Tara & Bri are coming down for the lighted boat parade tonight.

[Drunk Monk]

Change of plans. Bri is under the weather (she’s a lawyer for kids which exposes her to a lot of germs). Tara is still Cruz bound and it is yet tbd if the boat parade is still on because it was mainly for Bri.

I’ve only done the parade twice I think. It’s usually super cold. And I disdain xmas. Bah humbug.

[Drunk Monk]

The parade wasn’t too cold but what a cluster. We got out just in time.

Today I’ve got yoga & that KFM work I meant to do Friday. Plus Xmas shopping.

The bridge being closed didn’t help, I’m sure…

Indeed. It wasn’t so much the bridge as the fenced off construction areas which created some crowd choke points.’We couldn’t go back the way we came thru Frederick park with Yuki so we had to go the long way. Not that big a deal, but there was a flood of people coming in as we left so we got out just in time.

[Drunk Monk]

Monday morning meetings done a bit early. Actually got a lot done which was somewhat refreshing. 

Now it's queuing spam for the rest of the day. 

[Drunk Monk]

Got a meeting in a few that Im quite unprepared for, then another in a bit, then work prep to get ahead for the upcoming holidays & online xmas shopping. Then over to visit mom, get some groceries, and a night of writing that I didn’t do last week.

Didn’t sleep well last night and am feeling it now. Gonna need more than a few bumps to get through today…

[Greg]

A tick-tock rhythm, a bump for the drop
And then I bumped up, I took the hit that I was given
Then I bumped again, then I bumped again, I said

Never done crystal meth. Not my speed.

See what I did there?

Today I gotta run to the hardware store first thing to get an outdoor extension cord, then I gotta hook up the PT cruiser to the new charger I got, then up to Tiger Claw to find out what’s happening with KFM & KFTC (print), then I actually have the day off of YMAA - got some leftover use of lose vacation days so I’m ttaking every Wednesday off this month, or at least Im trying to, so I might get back to writing what I didn’t finish tonight - still got a final few paragraphs to fill in before the conclusion, which is already done, I think. It had its own weird flow, or at least it has so far.

[Drunk Monk]

Two meetin Thursday and plenty of work. Iai tonight.

Feeling kinda run down today. Which is odd because it's the first week in a while when I don't have any shows or events. Maybe that's why. Losing that momentum...

[Greg]

Heading up to Oakhurst to remind myself what the sun feels like. And run errands.

[Drunk Monk]

Yoga then work. Might brave downtown for some bah humbug xmas shopping.
