… hard time with weight… hard to exercise enough… hard not to eat and drink too much…

… H moody…

… we will head out to BI in a few days… looking forward to the change of scenery… trying to figure out what my reading, work routine will be… contemplating a new tablet, basic one for writing and what not, but don’t really have the money… will simplify my working out there…

… a comparatively rich couple of photo days… hope it keeps up…

… E liked Shifting the Silence… a lot…

… i have a feeling that what i am producing is meaningful even if very few people notice it… E said they have given up posting on FB because it is so unrewarding to the very beautiful content they share… i have found the same thing… whereas whinny wearing your heart on your sleeve and pictures of cats and dogs gets all the attention… i am trying to let go of the need for attention but it is hard… we make, at its best, because we can’t not make, but we want to be seen too…

… signed up for a micro.blog member’s newsletter because they signed up for mine… am i starting to generate an audience?… i am thinking that i will write on Friday and edit pictures on Saturday so that my two titled posts are ready to go as we leave for BI…

… i still need to think what our meal is going to be for Valentines Day… maybe lamb?… roast leg of?… then we could share with M and P… hmmm…

… i received my copy of Woman in the Dunes… it’s reputed to be a masterpiece… it features a picture of a man and woman making love on the cover, so of course my libido being in charge of things wanted a copy… artsy eroticism… what could be better?…

… H has their surgery date… end of March… shouldn’t be a big deal… day surgery… there is tension about it none the less… don’t blame them…

… the political crisis in the country gets worse every day… i don’t think anyone can say for sure whether democracy will survive… on my bad days i despair that it won’t… all kinds of nasty thinking people declaring their desire to see democracy end… Peter Thiel, a libertarian billionaire has stepped down from the board of Meta to work on electing Trumpian candidates in 2022… he apparently believes that Democracy is not compatible with freedom anymore, deplores welfare and that women should never have been allowed to vote… seriously?… WTF
