Two good things today:
Off to get my laptop back. Woo! It was just a fried BIOS chip after all. 85 CAD for the clean and replacement is *much* more manageable than a whole new machine.
And I heard from someone dear to me, who's been MIA for a few weeks while working super hard at multiple jobs in Canada. I didn't realize how much stress I was holding from not knowing if they were OK. How people managed when dear ones could only be reached by letter via boat then horseback I will NEVER know. π
How about you folks? π
How are your hearts?
How are your loved ones?
I got a message out of the blue from the tankie in my family claiming that Holodomor never happened, so... if you're battening down the hatches this season to protect from toxic family, I hear you & I'm proud of you.
And if you've got a backlog of work this weekend? Remember to take real breaks (doomscrolling doesn't count!), try to get some nature in, and hydrate.
π€ Really glad you're still here in this mess of a world.
