Covid is still a thing. My home is still so far from being moved back into. 2022 is, staggeringly, even worse than the prior six years.

I've found myself occasionally feeling like I'm coming out of a fugue state. That sense that you're actually awake and present that you don't notice is removed until it's over. It's a good feeling.
I've started doing session with a therapist. I've heard that it's excellent to keep your mental hygiene up and that you don't need to be struggling to benefit.
I figured going through a catastrophe like our flood was as good a time as any to start.
My favourite bits are when she tells me I'm really good at being dealing with stuff. I could hear that all day.
Gears have flashed into motion. Finally it feels like my home is on its way to being sorted out.
I've moved in with family in the next town over. I've been looking forward to this as the next chapter in our long journey home. But now that I'm here I feel just as far away as I did before.
A change has rassled the wasps nests in my mind. Hopefully I can calm them sooner rather than later.
It's my first day back after a week off for my birthday. Good night's sleep under my belt. Plenty of little projects and pleasures marked off. Today I'm ready to buckle down and get to work. Make some bucks.
46 years old today and it's been a weird year. I thought the whole Covid thing was going to be substantially better but now that we're vaccinated and the borders are open it's the worst it's even been. I'm hoping this is my last pandemic. Also my home was flooded and we're still in that weird limbo where we have no idea when things will return to normal. My favourite teacher got dementia and then died. I'm not as social as I once was. I've become a bit of a home-body bordering on being a hermit. I did finish a first draft of a novel and write some TV scripts so it's not all bad news but so far as years in my live this is probably on the less satisfying end of the scale.
I'm fairly unthrilled about Twitter being taken over by Musk. I'm even more enthralled that there are so many tech people who don't think this is important. Being able to make web pages is an amazing power. Not to be all Spiderman about it but it's also a great responsibility.
