Journal Entry
Sitting in the living room in the Berkshires, in the chair by the fireplace. Ran 9 miles this morning after waking up at 7:30am, groggy and tired. Trying to dial my circadian clock back to a normal cadence. My sleep schedule has gotten completely untethered from the norm. Re-inserting some level of discipline, isolating in the woods for a moment from social pressures and city life is helping so far.
Went to the general store for brunch (breakfast burrito, lemon bundt cake, latte). Ate while reading This Is For Everyone, by Tim Berners-Lee. It's fascinating to hear a blow-by-blow recount of the founding days of the World Wide Web. Currently at the part where Tim recalls the creation of the "Cookie" at Netscape, which originally solved the problem of individual web pages lacking a cohesive memory system (this of course, turned into a tool used by advertisers for tracking). Would recommend the book so far.
Trying to enjoy my last week of funemployment before I start a new job (I'm very excited! But more on that later). I'm focusing on breathing, stretching, and practicing gratitude. My primary goal right is to spend as much time as possible outside, listening to the sounds of life without headphones on, reconnecting with my thoughts unencumbered by noise and outside influence.
I'm going to be doing some thinking and writing today, hike in the afternoon with Pluto, then playing guitar in the evening. Maybe I'll learn to play a new song.
