Most likely, still out of my league. I met one once, a co-worker's daughter was one. She took a third path, she was a stripper. Worked a year, knew she had the chops but decided to dance while she had the looks. Claimed she made more money and less stress, kept current with the law.

This week I visited with someone I met online seventeen-ish years ago. Got some practical physical labor kind of help done. Got some planned dance lessons done. Filmed me singing so I can study my facial expressions. Did a lot of "why?" questioning of basic assumptions. Left each other with a crapton of things to work on to improve our lives.

Today I wrote as much of it down as I could remember. The kind of thing I'd summarize in a facebook post if I thought anyone would read it.

Dear Isabella , if i could be there, I would give you giant hugs and all my available spoons.
Because you very much deserve them, You are a great benefit to this site for you to be on
Wrong Planet. You have expressed nothing but kindness and compassion here.
And deserve to recover quickly from your being very generous to people . :heart: :heart:


Me too Jakki. I would give Isabella a spoon if It wasnt geographically impossible. That's foreal. Everybody gets depressed sometimes. Life stressors will do that.

I'm addicted to caffeine too! :coffee: Sometimes it does more harm than good. Sometimes It's best not to give in to the temptation. It spikes cortisol.

My very adult-looking bright red tricycle was delivered, and safely stowed in the shed. I also got down to the bike shop to start buying peripherals, like a lock, a bell, etc so I can actually ride the thing places. Blimey, bike stuff is expensive.

I hate that feeling. I had a few nights around Christmas where I slept 3-4 hours, and woke up at midnight. Made for some fun work days :P I hope you can get some rest later.

I finished installing a solar-powered 12V battery system in my girlfriend's 80+ year old, 4,000 square foot gymnasium, to power the all-night security lighting, as well as charge phones, and power small AC-powered devices with an inverter.

The whole system was built with salvaged, reused and VERY cheap new parts.
