I'm going on a blog freeze for a while. Not sure how long. Figuring some stuff out.

(Dis)comfort
I'm in quite a groove at work. The impostor syndrome has finally melted away. It's good to know what you're doing.

White Out
Had a half a snow day today because DC loses it's mind when there's a rumor that snow could happen. It's nice. I totally forgot that was a thing that could happen because this winter has been so mild.
And I didn't get caught in any traffic at all. One of the benefits of public transit. Yeah the older you get the more the boring stuff gets exciting. Although snow days are exciting no matter how old you are, right?

Sudden snow closure

The Itinerant Habit
I used a random word generator to launch into a little bit of writing. Today I got coil. It reminds me of snakes. I've never been a person afraid of snakes. They don't bother me in the way that spiders do. I like to say that I fear things with exoskeletons but not those with spines. It's funny to me how people differ in this way. One of my best friends is scared of mice. My mother is not a fan of reptiles, especially frogs. They say it's a basic fear, an ancestral fear based on poison. I buy that. It feels instinctual, ancient. Of course, with the advantages of the human mind, one can almost always condition oneself through exposure to curb the fear, eliminate it in time.
But spiders? No way man. I don't think I'd ever do that. I reCOIL at the thought.

Travel: MAGFEST 2
A fun weekend but socially taxing. Too much humanity at these conventions.
Today's Haiku
Farewell gaming hordes
I'll miss your high devotion
but not your odors

Certain People
I'm weary of certain people. You know, people that are certain of things. I think the more certain they feel about the world around them, the more confident they are that they know how everything fits together, the more it shows how disconnected from the true nature of things they are.
I'm quite certain this is the case for all people.

Back Talk
I've been having back problems. Getting older, right? I know I need to see someone, and I know it'll be so much better if I do, but my mind doesn't wanna. Doesn't wanna deal with the hassle of getting a referral from my PCP. Doesn't wanna have to figure out when to schedule it. Doesn't wanna take the sick time out of work. Doesn't wanna meet new people. Doesn't wanna get there and find out that I just need to rest and stretch more. Doesn't wanna. Doesn't wanna. Doesn't wanna.

New You
Worked up a resolution frenzy. Trying out all kinds of things and hoping some of them stick. It's not the best method but it's what I'm feeling.
Today's Haiku
Gotta change those dates
remember that it's 20
It's hard every year
remember that it's 20
