It’s pretty awful. Physically struggling with chronic health issues and my crazy family is being crazy again. At least they’re on the other side of the country, but they do know where I live.

on the upside there is no gas leak in my apartment so that’s nice, still got a month of cold showers ahead while they go thru the rest of the building but i am getting used to it already and my hair seems to be liking it.

still going with the C52, started week 6 (5-point perspective stuff) yesterday and i am now struggling a lot, but i suppose thats why it’s called a challenge and not a super easy time. just got to remember brain is learning and its ok that a new thing is hard.

I bottled up my latest gallon of mead, life is good.

Like, too much of screen addiction.

Good. We are still in the Arctic Vortex or as Jon Steward called it, the Arctic Dick Punch.

So the temps have been in the teens and there is 6-8 inches of ice everywhere. All things considered I did fine. No major property damage to my house and we never lost power, so it was fine.

My wife and I do a major interior project every Winter and this year it was finishing painting our first floor. Painting is what it is. No single aspect of painting is hard but it all must be done right or the end result looks like dogshit. So it is nice to have done and get house put back together.
