I was at work, and I don’t do anal or work in a bean factory, so no and no. Might send one later Just because it’s such a quaint request, although I am a little worried that her boyfriend might find it.

Oh man, fuck her boyfriend. If he finds out just say that you had no idea she was attached. You were just doing a task, you were a task driven human being, nothing sexual.

Met David Byrne today, he is pitching a show at my work. I had to show him our tech set up and run through a Power Point his team sent over.

Very...interesting guy.

Got a bunch done the past couple of weeks. Won't go into it, but it definitely seems I've had an excess of things to fuss over the past year.

A recurring source of motivation has been that if I don't get these things taken care of, no one else will. Just how it is.

I have never been diagnosed as bipolar, but I have these ups and downs in my life that aren't as obvious to the casual observer, but to me they've become a predictable and somewhat frustrating pattern.

I'm in an Up period. I'm learning music theory from three different sources: Duolingo now offers a music theory module. So does Language Transfer. And my guitar teacher is pretty hardcore about learning the underlying theory.

I'm also holding down my 40 hrs at work and managing to get some exercise.

Soon it will ebb and the dust will gather on my guitar again and I will stare at my theory notes and think "I should open my notebook" for three to four hours at a time.

Yesterday was the 12th anniversary of Gotcha Day- the day we officially adopted our daughter, thanks in large part to the people of this forum.

Kiddo and I celebrated by buying matching flannel shirts at Costco for $10 each. As before, it ever shall be.

This is a long shot, but if having an official diagnosis would help you, but you’ve been putting it off for financial or logistical reasons, and if you ever find yourself in New York, (where I am licensed to practice), just hit me up and we can do a free telehealth session in which I can provide you with a Dx. Having a diagnosis can really be liberating and validating for some folks, especially if you’re trying to get your prescriber to give you the right Rx.

Do you do remote teams sessions as well?

I am kidding, but I am not kidding as well.

Congratulations man! So great, and man does time fly.

My left knee is kinda jacked, probably from running down fucked up dirt paths, so today I went to a public pool near my house and swam for 45 minutes, with goggles! $1 if you are over 50yo. Amazing. This will be my new thing. I wanna my back muscles to look like Michael Phelps.
