It varies. All last week I was exhausted. I thought “oh. This must be what being old is like.” But this week I have normal energy. I’m getting stuff done and not struggling just to stay awake. So mysterious. Idk why my energy level fluctuates so much.

I try not to. Waking up is terrible. It takes me hours to wake up in the morning. And it feels awful when I wake up from a nap too. I will make exceptions when I feel terrible. And everyone here dozed all day Sunday. It was a lazy rainy day.

Do we get to choose how it’s distributed? Here are some fun options I came up with.

  1. $13.69 per day for a year. (Nice). About $419/month. Maybe they could round up to $420 because they stale internet meme culture is hip

  2. $0.76 per day for 18 years. A guaranteed $22.80 per month for an entire childhood

  3. $5000 lump sum. I can’t find any widely accepted figures for average out of pocket cost of prenatal care, child birth, and infant health visits. I’ll wild ass guess it a at covering 20-75% of those visits for people who have insurance. For people without insurance, looks like an uncomplicated vaginal birth averages $14k. But again huge variations in price

Aaah. I made it so far but I was defeated by chess!

Between mental illness and abuse, I have no relationship with family and many have died young. There are others out there. Not having family is something that I always feel. I don’t think age has anything to do with it. In some ways I am jealous of those who have close bonds with their families, those who check in and take care of each other despite differences because they are family. On the other hand, I have some freedom. I can make my own traditions and enjoy peace during the most frenetic holiday season.

Choose the door that looks the most like the sweaty imprint your groin leaves on the bench

I hope you feel better soon. Funny coincidence. I bought some gym passes Friday. I was too tired to go Saturday or Sunday. Then bam. Sore throat and cough on Monday.

I think I’ll go make a cup of chamomile and lavender tea. What kind of tea are you drinking?
