Had a low-level migraine since yesterday which is affecting my mood and energy levels. Reminded myself that I need to take deep breaths and not kill annoying co-workers who don't know their own job. *rolls eyes and mutters something about patience*

Happy winter solstice🎄❄️

Less than 2 weeks to a new year. This year was both too long and too short. *sighs*

Ordered Merino wool socks from a US company, apparently the socks are made in New Hampshire. I didn't think "made in US" was still available honestly. I can confirm they are comfortable and really warm! I'm going to order another pair as backup😆

Feeling drained, today was a bad day, and not looking forward to tomorrow either. Wish I could do winter hibernation.

Is it too early to write an end of year entry? I'm done with 2024; it's been exhausting.

I cannot praise a fugitive and cloistered virtue, unexercised and unbreathed, that never sallies out and sees her adversary, but slinks out of the race where that immortal garland is to be run for, not without dust and heat.

John Milton, poet 

The forest was shrinking but the trees kept voting for the axe for the axe was clever and convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood he was one of them.

Today was an interesting day, odd at least. I met someone I hadn't seen in nearly 10 years and another I hadn't seen in nearly 15 years.

Time certainly flows like a raging river, changing people with its currents.

American politics this year has put every Third World country to shame😂 Between Biden and Trump, the US has lost any gilding it had.
