Gratuitous Web Presence

Catching up here. I spend most of my online expression time on Threads, which I realize is a cardinal sin against the gods of the indie web. But I might as well update this place with random thoughts this weekend.

  • Work still busy. It will always be busy.
  • Started on Wegovy more than a month ago. I’ve only logged a net loss of 5 pounds so far. Tired and nauseous but finding it easier to act appropriately when the shot diminishes my appetite.
  • C has been out of town a lot for work in Iowa. Employer allegedly going to keep him home after this week with a new assignment, but his employer is a flighty and reactive pain in the ass. I’ll believe it when I see it actually happen.
  • Padres baseball brings me tremendous joy.
  • Trying to live somewhat sanely and healthier. Attempting to pull back on late nights catching up with work and getting a decent amount of sleep.
  • Distancing myself from my old parish, heretofore referenced here as St. MAGA’s, and considering transferring entirely to our neighborhood parish down the street from us.
  • Wrestling with a lot of complicated emotional pain as fall hits. This was my sister’s favorite time of year. Hard not to think of her as the leaves turn.
  • The run-up to Election Day is deeply fraught with hope and anxiety.

It’s going to be a long couple of months.
