List of things in my head transferred to the digital page as coping practice. I refuse to question whether i should make this a private post because that then quickly moves down the slippery "why bother" slope, and i know i can't engage those questions reasonably at this time.
Instead of running through the, "Should i order this advent candle holder to replace the one i made, which is in the yule box i don't feel like getting out, or should i just blow off the advent candles as well as everything else i'm blowing off," question one more time, i note that there are two Sundays between now and Christmas, and if i want to light candles i can just use a candle holder that holds three candles. Maybe pick up candles at the grocery, although there are two in the harvest display that are still pretty long. I just want to light some candles against the literal darkness, anyhow.
I did tell the Project's lead Project Manager that we should talk, even though i'd rather just curl into a ball all day.
I baked the remnant dough into a loaf. Note these loaves are about the size of hearty hot dog buns. However, the little disks of bread are satisfactory.
Baking seems a satisfactory distraction: it's productive while being a distraction. I want to make coconut crackers later today.
Laundry. Needs to happen.
Work, much of which is phone calls, and then pressure peters our around 2 pm
After other things in the afternoon -- i did succeed in getting the wide monitor's resolution fixed -- i asked Christine if i should make coconut crackers or play with genealogy. She choose genealogy. I lost myself for a while in getting a new database started, one that has the living family complete. My mother's mother's siblings need to be added -- that's a big undertaking.
