...in #politics #today we'll discuss why the mass murder in #Gaza is not #genocide how denying an entire population of #food isnt #starvation, and how killing #Palestians now is "way different" than during the #obama era.

...after points have been structured to at least seem logical to the blind #viewers, we'll invite a raving mad lunatic to destroy all that and remind us that forced genocide and starvation IS THEIR GOAL!!

..segment WILL be obvious, but its antisemi if you point that out.

A late good morning. Rain keeps me inside today. There will be no porch time and no gardening. I can even put off errands until a nicer day.

My old standbys of genealogy and reading will keep me busy. When there's a break in the showers I'll refill the bird feeders. At least the bird bath won't need filling. A quiet day.

I wish you a quiet day if you could use one.

Good morning. Spring springs on. #Photography #Today #Spring #Chicago #Flowers

A new day. A new chance to succeed.

A busy day ahead. Part new business, part old.

My elder offspring has a birthday which we will celebrate together.

My favorite game gets a significant update.

My word sprints yesterday gave my Practice a much needed kick in the boosters and I want to build a streak.

A beautiful morning calls me to get out and enjoy it.

So much to do. I may not get to it all, but even a few of these will be marvelous.

I hope your day will be as marvelous #today

#Today 13

Good day!

I took this yesterday on my morning walk behind where I live. There were 3 deer in total, the other two much farther away.

Loud noises had scared the poor animal, & then I showed up. So, I knelt, which seemed to reassure it.

After it walked past me I took the picture.

Be everwell.

Good morning!

I skipped my early-morning walk because of the rain. It looks like it's going to keep raining all day today and tomorrow, so I'll probably skip tomorrow's walk as well. Maybe I'll try my senior exercise video again.

These kinds of days are good for writing. Nowhere I want to go, no noise coming from people working or playing outside, even the cat just wants to hibernate. So I hope I will get a good amount of writing done.

Have a good one, my friends.
#Today

Good morning! Odd dreams all night, involving cats who are bears and circus tents. I’ve much to do this afternoon so I’ll be taking it easy this morning, settling back into my job (not work) schedule, a dignity yesterday’s madness couldn’t afford me.

The skies are blue again #today. It seems like it’ll be a nice, if chilly, day. Have a good one, friends.

Good morning and TZAG, friends.

I woke to rain #today, looks like it will pour all day. No morning walk with the digs. If I hustle, I can get in an actual workout before my workday starts.

I'm in an odd headspace again, still processing how yesterday went and felt. I woke from an unsettling dream overnight which isn't helping but may be more mud for the lotus.

My agenda today is entirely full. Hopefully I am up to talking with my team, each in turn, without any real breaks.,

#today I have again spent FAR TOO LONG on the phone to the bank to make a single transfer to my account at their parent bank. Accounts are definitely being *closed* after this trauma is over. This has largely prevented the right frame of mind to work on my #research yesterday or today.

I am attempting to work on improving my experiment design document and prepping for my supervision tomorrow.

I submitted a PRES (post grad research survey) response today, after chasing access for a month!

My workday was a mix #today.

I made another re-appraisal and instead of seeing the last part of this bug fix through as I imagined, I detoured into my SDK's error handling code. I made some improvements that will make other upcoming work far easier and clear.

Unfortunately that is one more day two other sets of developers have had to wait longer for their respective fixes.

Another team came to me close to the end of my day for help with what looks like another possible bug.

First good rain in weeks here #today. The grass will love it. Lately on our walks, it's been very noticeable which houses have sprinklers and how far they reach.

Good morning! I've got a typical Monday here, with the usual Monday chores. Those shouldn't take long, and I'll have plenty of time to take advantage of the sunny weather.

May and June are filling up with activity. After a quiet couple of months, it's a bit daunting for this introvert. My knee-jerk reaction is viewing upcoming events as looming claims on my time. I need to set my mind straight-- they are actually enjoyable events I don't want to miss. Someday I'll get it right.

#Today 12

Good day!

I’m flying through the Book2 chapters, but the bigger excitement for me is seeing how my editing has drastically improved.

Take that, junior high English!

Two days ago it was 82F (27.8C). Now? 60F (15.6C) for the high, w/rain. Cooler & wetter tomorrow.

Be everwell.

Good morning. Spring springs on. #Photography #Today #Spring #Flowers #Chicago

TFW you send out a meeting invite and accidentally call it in the email header a "Meetin"

Good morning!

I've still got a lot of pain this morning, but it's better than yesterday. I went out on my walk as usual and was treated to the sight of the geese taking the goslings out for a swim in the pond -- a long train with an adult goose at the front and another at the back. In between in a straight line were about 20 tiny goslings.

So today will be another day of writing, cleaning, reading.

Have a good one, my friends.
#Today

A new day. A new chance to succeed.

Amid the quiet fans and normal noises, I'm waking slowly this morning.

No reason to hurry. It feels quite decadent.

Quite privileged.

Almost selfish.

Like I need to do more. Like I'm wasting this time when I just sit and think.

About what I want to do in the broadest terms rather than what to have for breakfast.

About who I want to be going forward.

Like that's not important.

I hope you can be important if only for a few moments #today

Good morning and TZAG, friends.

Waking up slowly #today. I enjoyed our son's visit and was worried about feeling over socialed leading to struggling to sleep. Some magnesium and melatonin did the trick but left me groggy this morning. My movement and meditation helped as they usually do.

I'm pleased to have no meetings so I can focus on contribution work for $dayjob.

I have one unplanned errand to run, to pick up a few things we forgot at the store yesterday.
