    I caught myself in an old defense mechanism loop and was able to stop, breath, sit with the discomfort and own that motherfucking trauma response for what it is, then dismiss it and carry on with my day. So, like a very proud ten.

      Just made a saw sharpening vice and a couple file handles.

      Planning on building a kiln to dry oak and pine boards, that I hopefully cut myself.

        I slept like 20 minutes after posting that hahaha

        I’m insanely lucky, I happened to meet someone who gets bricks, doesn’t step on it, and when I occasionally want to indulge, gives me a sheeny solid corner of a brick. When I’ve had coke in the past that was stepped on, I definitely couldn’t sleep for hours after. Probably some cheap amphetamines added to it, I hated it. With actual pure cokes you can sleep like an hour after you do your last bump or line!

        And you don’t need nearly as much, it’s insane. To get gakked, my partner and I will do about .1g each over the course of the night. With cut stuff, I’d have to do like 5x that for a mediocre buzz!

    7.5

    Terrible night’s sleep but I’ve had a couple of leads on work (one is almost in the bag) and I just did a big walk in the sunshine and I’m not in pain.

    Pretty badass even if I’m gonna go pass out very soon.

      ROFL. You can’t win them all champ. Keep going though. Greatness is achieved when you push further than what others are willing to do.

    Maybe 6. Im back to college and learning precalc after being out of school for like 10+ years. A lot of relearning old stuff and learning new stuff at the same time.

    It makes me anxious honestly.

    I rescued an injured bird (a collared dove) with a broken wing and took him to a bird sanctuary about 40 miles away. So 10, clearly.

    Definitely a 7-8 today. In my humanities course this quarter we did a thing with chopsticks since it’s a Japanese culture and traditions course and I somehow managed to pick up 43 raw black eyed peas and transfer them over to a plate in a minute. 50% luck, 50% skill, and 100% fluke. Balanced that out by being a bit clumsier throughout the rest of the day.

      I can see why you went with 3, surviving open heart surgeries account for at least +1 badass.

      My goodness! I’m glad things went well during the open heart surgery. How long is the recovery for such a thing?

        Pretty sure it’s lifetime. Surgery was at the end of 2018, they cracked me open like a lobster. I’ve got a 10" scar from just under my chin to just over my belly button.

        2019 was one complication after another.

        2nd heart attack in January.
