I'm still alive and well. Life is just kind of happening, all at once it seems. Somehow winter break turned out to be not much of a break, and now here we are with cherry blossoms fogging our windows. The bloom has lifted all of our spirits lately. It feels nice to thaw.
So much has been happening here. So much is in flux! I go through waves of staying on top of what I have to do, but right now I am in a phase where I have more-or-less submitted to the inundation of "tasks." By that I mean I have crossed some threshold beyond which I just kind of stop keeping track of what I have to do. Instead I just kind of wade through it all as it comes to me. It kind of sucks. I have not had energy to really do much, consequently. I don't feel motivated to begin anything because I'm wading through that thick goop of "stuff" I have to do. I guess at some point I'll snap out of it.
One interesting thing that happens when I fall off the wagon like this is that even though I am not writing in my journal regularly, when I do write in it the entries are more thoughtful and intentional. It isn't an organizational tool for me right now, but more of a message-in-a-bottle. In spite of all the craziness and absurdity I am enduring these days, there are also a lot of wonderful things happening. Taking the time to write about these things has been meaningful, even if I am not really getting all the things done that I need to be.
So yeah. Here I am. I have a lot of things I would like to write about. There's always a backlog. I initially delayed writing stuff online because I started working on a fancy static site generator that would emit html, gemini, and gopher versions of a site. Well, as life happened and that project got delayed, so did writing. Oh well. It will come back.
For now I am just adding this chatter to the din. Just saying hey. Just getting my leaves back, I guess.
