Too much work, not enough time. 🥲

Pretty good all things considered. I’m trying to take better care of myself this winter. It’s the insanely busy time of year where I work. Last year I completely burnt myself out. This year I’m trying to hang onto that elusive work-life balance.

I just tried a new Italian food place that’s about 10 minutes away from where I live (I live in a rural area, so that’s very close). Somehow I never noticed it before today. They are locally owned, and it appears this is the only location. They don’t even have a website.

I’d give it a solid 9/10. Bread rolls were 10/10. I got a chicken parm because that’s super safe when trying a new place. Chicken parm was very good, but not life changing. Maybe an 8.5/10. It was a little expensive, but it had large portions, more than enough for two meals. I’m more than happy to pay a little more to support a local business owner.

I’d definitely go back.

Kinda Mixed. I’ve reconnected with a friend and I’m gonna hang out and watch a movie with her pretty soon, so I’m looking forward to that quite a bit. On the other hand I’ve been having some health problems which sucks.

Like garbage.

GERD is pretty bad, my pains are pretty bad, which turns my brain into mush…which makes my anxiety and loneliness just aweful (in a bad marriage and spouse is off today).

Any one or a few of those things, I would be quite the opposite, but holy halibuts, Batman, the sheer quantity is just too much.

Also, getting ready for thanksgiving. I am one of the major cooks, and I’m fretting about cleaning up the kitchen…and the GERD and pain is going to make this hell. Oof! (wife never helped me in the kitchen, so I have to do everything, and it’s just gotten sooo darn hard)

Ok! Try to think happy thoughts…so hard to breathe (GERD symptom).
