It’s been a weird couple of weeks, hell a weird couple of months! Ever since the pandemic and the stay-at-home orders hit everything it’s been Crazy-Town Banana-Pants in many ways. The thing in my mind recently has been both my mental and physical health, mostly my physical. I think I was doing pretty good about working out at home, putting the time and effort. Then I had some back issues that needed to be taken care of. Today I actually had my last session with my therapist. Everything it’s back to normal and in the event things get uncomfortable again, I know exactly what to do.

That being said, I haven’t actually been working out for a few weeks now, other than running. I think the reason I have picked up running is mainly because it gets me out of the house. Working out requires me to be inside. Yes, I can workout in my backyard but still, I rather go out to the wilderness of my subdivision. It’s either that or I have just become lazy.

Running seems like a good thing to do, it’s good cardio and helps me mentally.

Today iA Writer, one of the many text editors I have used and enjoyed, released version 5.5 for both iOS and macOS. And this is a very exciting update because it includes some publishing improvements like support for Micropub, meaning I can publish to my hosted Micro.blog site from the app.

This is something I was able to do in other ways like with my beloved Drafts. But when it came to adding images to the post and such, doing so felt a little bit of a hack. Now, it's much easier and this is probably my most compelling part of the app's update.

Very excited for this!

Here's a random image just because I can.

We had a company call today, addressing the company’s plan to get everyone back to their sites if they have one. Long story short, I have no idea when I am returning to my cozy trailer and desk. I’ll be getting some PPE from the company in the mail in the upcoming weeks but that is it.

In the meantime I have come to terms with the girls, they can do all the mess they want, as long as they help me clean before their mom gets home.

I have deleted my Instagram account this weekend. This is something I have been wanting to do for a while but couldn’t bring myself to do so. Yes, I hated the overwhelming amount of creepy targeted ads, and some of the posts I had been seeing but I was putting up with it. This weekend was not the most pleasant one and I think a combination of feelings and mostly anger brought me to the impulsive decision. What’s done is done and even if there was a turning back, I rather think there isn’t.

Now, as far as my digital life, I am left we both Twitter and Mastodon – not including Chat-apps.

Listening back to this episode, I realized that I shan’t pace back and forth around the house when recording. Also, no punching people! 😉
