“Keep on plugging, and don’t let the crazies grind you down.” Oh them crazies. They seem to be everywhere these days.
My ten year old excitedly ran to me this morning with the news that life in China is returning to normal. Although she understands that we are far from going back to a life resembling ‘normal’, she is happy for having hope. I forgot how much living in isolation is affecting our children.
Birthday wishes during social distancing. The grandparents came out of isolation for this!
Sneaking 100 balloons into the room of an extemely light sleaper - virtually impossible. Who knew balloons could be so noisey? At least none of them popped!
What good does it do to be valuable, if no one values you - NK Jemison: The city we became
Working from home is not fun when you actually have to do real work.
This will be my office for the foreseeable future.
“Australia is heading for trouble. This isn’t a country in lockdown, it’s a country going through the motions.”
I coughed at work this morning and 4 people turned around. I thought I was on The Voice🎤
“Inhale the future. Exhale the past.”
I’ve been thinking about legally changing my name for a while now. Will my parents be offended if I bin the name they decided to put on my birth certificate some 40 years ago, but opted to never call me by?
Myke Hurley recently referred to 2019 as his year of stabilisation. I’m contemplating making 2020 my year of foundation building. #takebackcontrol
Went to the pharmacy today to fill my monthly script for chronic medicine. I was amazed to see the fear on people’s faces every time someone coughed.
“The expert knows more and more about less and less until he knows everything about nothing.”
Why do iPhones still get stolen in this day and age? I thought a locked/blocked iPhone is useless unless you know the relevant password. Yet, some idiot decided to steal my 11 Pro Max over the weekend. All this achieves is to annoy both of us.
So I’ve decided to have a “me” night tonight. I would have loved to go to a little cabin in the woods, ligting a bonfire, drinking a 15 year old brandy and reading a good book. In the end, I could only find a budget hotel in the city as I did not feel like driving 4 hours to get to a cabin. The brandy is replaced by absynth and a good Venezuelan rum, but so far I’m having fun. It’s the last night of summer and the city is buzzing. Here’s to taking time for yourself. Cheers!
“The first principle is that you must not fool yourself—and you are the easiest person to fool.”
“One good thing about procrastination is that you always have something planned for tomorrow.”
“there are decades when nothing happens, and weeks when decades happen.”
And speaking of unsettling - this is even more so: AI-designed drug to enter human clinical trial for first time. Molecule designed by machine to treat OCD developed in just 12 months
This is weirdly unsettling. ://
Binging on mythic quest and thus far it’s a winner.
Saw an advert by an university tonight. “The world belongs to the ready”, they said. How relevant is that in modern life? Does the world not, in fact, belong the well connected? Or the rich? Or is it, because I’m so cynical, that the world does not belong to me?
Push yourself out of your comfort zone and allow yourself to fail (safely).
Working on the weekend is never fun. Might as well make it worth my while ☕️
