Salesforce, Amazon and now Microsoft all doing layoffs. It really is DotCom Bust 2.0.

Is Paleo-Fiction a thing? Like the equal an opposite of Science Fiction? Cause I think I may have that genre in me.

I just realized that now that I have a laser printer, I can print up all my own postage again. But after a few years of buying stamps, they're all kinda pretty.

I have a lot of issues with sleep. Normally, my body wants to sleep from 8AM to 4PM. On my days off from work I tried very hard to not go to bed later than 4AM and wake up about Noon.

I've also recently had issues where my body has decided it's just not going to sleep if I'm not sleepy, or will keep waking up if it's not sleepy.

And then I realized - it's winter. The days are VERY short in Seattle (the sun sets about 4:30PM right now) so i can't drive very far if I go anywhere. I'm laid off so I don't have any jobs I need to go to. And as long as I'm awake for job interviews, I dont NEED to be awake when I'm sleepy, or asleep when I'm feeling awake.

Why not sleep whenever your body wants and go with it?

I might as well be comfy until I'm back to work.

I wonder what this is all about....

"Oooh, meatball sub sounds good."
"Get a meatball sub, then."
"No no no. I want the meatball sub in my head, not a real one. I've never had a good meatball sub. At least not one that tastes as good as the one in my head."

"Ah, I got that outline done, don't want to touch it for a few days, and I'll go out and finally get some fresh air and take that drive I kept threatening to do."

::friend gets Covid exposure that I might have come in contact
with::

"Well, I can sit on my ass till Friday and test until then to make absolutely sure I don't have it, sure, why not."

(Not your fault, friend, it's gonna get me one day)

:: four hours of fitful sleep later ::

Guess I'm awake then.

Actually spent the whole day writing. That felt good.

Just a story outline, but from that, I'm hoping for an hour long radio script.

Fingers crossed for getting something produced...

I love you Mythical Kitchen, but your oven mitts were terrible.
