6.126. Reflections on a Monday Afternoon

Hand still is ruined and typing is at slow slow pace. So, I’m just going to launch into…

Some Thoughts:

  1. I have done a pretty decent job over the last few days of sticking to the writing schedule. Unfortunately, butt in seat is not enough to speed me up to the point where I am done with the story. I need about two good weeks to get it done. The first half is solid, but the back end needs more time.
  2. My male dog is having a rough time with his female companion approaching heat. He’s struggling mightily and acting a damn fool. I tried to find helpful research on how to chill him out, but the fact is you cannot chill him out. He is good in moments, but this dog is focused…
  3. One rough side effect of the social media our kids put out and we put out for our kids: General unwillingness to accept defeat. The organization my boy was a part of lost this past weekend, but all the kids from that team were posting clips of how they did that game and how good the team looked and how much they scored. Moreover, these clips were captioned in ways to suggest they won the game. They didn’t. They are out of the playoffs. How do you not mention that? If you don’t what does that say about your understanding of the situation and of the subjective reality you are promoting on a public platform? This is yet another reason to get off the platform. In the meanwhile I will be taking a hiatus from the platform for the summer at least. There is no need to hype anything and we have no desire to participate in events outside of organized team activities, so what is the point?
