Sometime around Monday/Tuesday I passed a milestone of six months on my running streak. Every day since October 16, I've gone for a run. I've averaged about 6 hours a week running, or roughly 24 hours running every 4 weeks.
I wonder whether I'll make it to a year? It would mean not getting sick for a year. Seems unlikely.
I feel very Melburnian today. Instead of my usual cuppa tea I French pressed some coffee. I should go and line up at a register at Coles with my puffer jacket on and buy some croissants for that all round Melbourne experience. Oo la la
Successful day in the garden. Grass mowed for first time in months, weeds pulled, plants pruned, leaves collected, green bin is full. Perfect day for it.
Note to self....wear a mask when you vacuum the pre filter in the air cleaner so you don't cop a face of all that dust out the back of the vacuum..โน๏ธ. Hopefully there's some antihistamines still lurking in the cupboard from spring...
You are having an extremely busy week at work. You have to bring your work home with you, to the point where you're not having time for much else, like taking care of yourself.
You have a partner you don't live with. You tell your partner you can't see them for a couple of weeks because you're too busy and having trouble coping. What do you do as the partner in this situation?
I still haven't been able to figure out what went wrong with the computer before but it hasn't happened again, and I'm hoping it stays like that. My driver was out of date so I updated it but that's about all I've done.
I did notice some funkiness in HWMonitor though. My copy utilisation was being... Weird. It was normal, then I checked 20 minutes later, and HWM reported it peaked at 8000%. I thought that was weird but just chalked it up to an error. Then half an hour later it was saying it had peaked at 54,645%. Now it's saying it peaked at "18112064992...%" and my 3D utilisation apparently peaked at 9027.2%. I've got no clue what's causing that, but there's that ig.
I've also kept an eye on the other values and nothing seems too out of place, although apparently it's dedicated RAM has ranged from 400Mhz to 6001Mhz. The temperatures have not gone above 48c.
So key takeaway: idk what's going on, I'm just hoping it doesn't happen again
Here's the values HWM is reporting if anybody is wondering:
I've been having a headache that's as much nausea as head pain. Don't tell me the migraines are back. Then again dark chocolate is sometimes a headache trigger for me.
I'm having insights that are telling me I need to get good at art fundamentals but I don't have the discipline to practice. It's so boring and stressful to make yourself fail for the purpose of learning and draw incomplete imperfect things. Right now it seems to be enough of a challenge to get through each day.
Being overseas I'm reminded once again that cafe culture and laneway art is really not unique to Melbourne and yet it's spruiked here as the best thing since sliced bread.
I can't even bear to finish For All Mankind because it got so ridiculous and poorly written.
Instead blasted through Shrinking and even though the writing is a little on the nose with the modern vernacular, it is really breezy, hilarious and sweet and just what I needed ๐
It's such a fun show, makes me wish I had boisterous Americans as friends for a second *. Also, I absolutely loved uber-sarcastic Harrison Ford, he absolutely killed it.
while forgetting how insanely privileged/unrealistic it is for these people to have so much free time... and for the main character not to be deregistered as a therapist ages ago for having his client live in his own house lol.
Slow Horses or Criminal Records next, maybe. Yo ho ho.
