I know I should write more, I always say this. This is probably like 1/5 of the openings of my diary. Well here we are writing! Suck it mental guilt trip. I suppose in this situation I should just write about life. Well Teddy broken is leg (probably). We think he broke his leg maybe…
You die alone.
So I recently heard someone say “You’re born alone, you die alone” Like this is an incredibly common idiom. Aka you need you be self-reliant because your experience of birth and death are not shared with anyone. When you leave and enter this world is something only you can experience. It’s basically used to emphasize…
Westfest! Ok its actually called Summerfest!
Oh man its that time of year its Summerfest! West Seattle Junction shuts down and the entire community comes out to celebrate. Its amazing. The weather was hot but still reasonable. This is the first year Teddy could really participate. There’s this amazing bounce slide that he must’ve climbed 20x. Aka he basically climbed 200…
Video Games!
I did it! I got a Switch 2! I’m not sure why this feeling feels so flat. Like I LOVE video games, and I’ve actually beaten several games this year, but my switch 2 just sort of feels like an afterthought. I really wanted one last year too. It is nice that I will finally…
Burn out is real
I think I’ve been working too hard at work. My brain feels a bit like a sponge that’s to soaked through. Water logged and sluggish. I sometimes think to myself that I am having too much cognitive load. I’ve always appreciated the LOTR line from Bilbo “I feel thin, sort of stretched, like butter scraped…
A New York Adventure
Teddy and I went on a solo adventure! And what a solo adventure it was! I suppose its really not solo since there was two of us. It was a Duo Adventure!!! Guys Trip! Kate and Ella stayed behind and Teddy and I hopped on a plane to NY City… State. That’s right the Big…
A May Life Update
First off, I have to share a recruiter for Nintendo reached out, I’d argue the coolest company that has ever reached out to me. I thought how cool it would be to work at Nintendo, then remembered 1) Video Game jobs are the passion jobs where Corporate America takes advantage of software engineers 2) I…
My Thoughts on AI
Sometimes when I am feeling like I am drawing a blank on what to write about, I’m like half tempted to ask “Copilot” to generate a journal entry. Which is insane like what would be the point of that. This is the reflection who I am as a person and having an AI pretend to…
So Much Poop
OMG so starting Tuesday Ella has been sick. She very briefly had a 105 fever after nap time. Which is a terrifying temperature because it can cause neurological damage. Luckily it went down almost immediately, but after calling the Nurse she suggested we go to the ER with Ella. So, first off then isn’t a…
NO NAP FOR YOU
Teddy may be giving up naps. Holy shit is it rough. He skipped a sleep on Saturday and today as well. Skipping a sleep basically translates to being in his room screaming / humming / asking for us for approximately two straight hours. The problem is, if we check on him, that just causes him…
