Our first six egger
some thoughts on surprising fortune
Yesterday wasn’t much of a day, dear reader.
As one without employment, I’ve had the odd day where I’ve done little but go for a walk and spend some time riding my trainer.
The day seemed to slip away.
I slept late. Lingered. Moped.
I thought that I’d get things done. Something. Anything!
Didn’t happen.
I did pretty much nothing all day long.
That was unexpected.
At around 3:30 I felt that mild panic and regret when it seems like a day has slipped away.

Did I watch a hockey game? Or was that the day before?
Maybe it was mountain bike restoration videos. Or maybe drawknife sharpening.
It’s all just blending together - days, videos, memes, like the snowdrifts swallowing up backyards around here.
