Pouting over the Diamondbacks leading the Phillies 5-1. Is it possible we will get a rally here in the bottom of the 7th?

I have made worse breads but this weekend's barley groats bread is inedible. Adding psyllium husks was a mistake, i am sure, but i am not confident of the recipe. I also should have ground the groats down much further.

Some deer or racoon should find it wonderful.

I have a telehealth therapy intake session tomorrow. I can't quite tell from the "AbleTo" website: i think they have identified from the intake questionnaire that my mild depression should be managed with eight cognitive therapy sessions. I'm a little disappointed by the "self care" tools: the "woebot" AI app was nice. It's too bad it's availability is restricted to some other group of therapists. Signing up for something seems to have been just enough of a trigger that i feel like i did a little better today.

Meanwhile, i had a one on one with the executive director today. He is... he seems highly caffeinated and highly energized and maybe super perky but a little.... ditzy. Probably smart! But gosh do i have post meeting eyeroll. Self aware enough that he does catch himself cutting me off, so that's good. We did ahve a brief moment of cool ideas talking about slime molds solving problems and algorithms base on ant foraging to optimize airplane fuel management.

The best things today were that i did have a workday where i Got Things Done without too much executive function demands. I don't think they were the highest priority, but there were a list of little annoying paper work tasks (insurance enrollment -- i did drop the Norton Lifelock, time card, request to upgrade a server's security setting that i'd randomly noticed). I didn't work on any of the Work but it was a very full productive day.

The asthma flare continues, but i did walk down the hill - -it was a gorgeous day. But after work watched baseball and poled at my personal email and reading y'all's journals. I need to head to bed.
