Morning pages is often just me writing about whatever fountain pen I’m using and commenting on the nuances of the ink (before, you know, unexpectedly launching into something random about my childhood). This lovely red one from @abigailmarkov.com arrived yesterday! Her work is absolutely delightful.

TIL: if you get really tired after eating, it can be a sign you're way more dehydrated than you think. Like, chronically dehydrated.
Not enough space to explain the why, but it makes sense.

Still have a lot to do, but clear schedule for today, unlike yesterday with last night's choir rehearsal.

If I explain why someone will give me stupid but well meaning advice, so I'm not telling you why.

I've been quiet lately because the sheer volume of major breakthroughs I've had in the last seven days has been more than even I can put into words. It hasn't even been worth trying - I'd just end up frustrated.
No need to worry - I'm fine.
It's been intense though.
Also got a lot of work done.

The Charcuterie Theory is officially in testing.
Hypothesis: If I don't have to think about eating daily/stop what I'm doing to eat for >5 consecutive minutes, I won't be irritated that I have to interrupt what I'm doing to eat and will eat more. This will improve energy levels/productivity.

Y'all. My reviews solution on my website just discontinued support, and didn't bother to send an email to me about it.
I lost hundreds of reviews... and I found out from googling their blog that there's no way to download an archive when trying to figure out why my reviews page wasn't working.

Sometimes I'll use my forward facing camera with camera/video recording app open as a faux body double when I need that to get something desk-related done.
Phone took this photo while I was doing that today.
It's interesting, how different I feel in photos when not performing a persona for it.
