Yesterday I delivered the HRR files to the F team, put a little time into cleaning the White, and spent the rest of the day fighting with python’s csv library and utf-8 encoding. I have to cut back my hours and/or revamp my work setup again as my right shoulder blade is getting real tetchy.

Lunch was challenging; I love broccoli but I’m starting to get anxiety mold paranoia about it. I made another batch of nut and seed bars, and those were okay. Dinner was good too— I’ve been jamming on red lentil pasta with cranberries, smoked chile and cumin, cooked down into a sauce with sautéed carrots and frozen green beans and corn. If you sauté the veg first it’s a nice one-pot meal.

Joined a Zoom craft-and-chat run by A; talked to J about spindle types and lathes, then periodically zoned out to write more code with social chatter on in the background. It was good.

Crossword and sleep; epic dreams of repeated air travel failures, mystical fauna, water-powered automatic flutes, a mixed-format race cancelled due to algal bloom and mysterious rapidly disintegrating machinery, underground labyrinths, constellations imagined by other species.
