Today’s coping mechanisms:
Eating lasagna at 3 am.
Having a second mug of coffee.
Planning fantasy camping trips (I am not going to make the trip but I like the planning aspects).
Listening to Hole.
Obsessing about THFC firing their head coach and who will replace him.
Planning a CitiField trip.

Fun fact, I have PINE running on one of my business systems because firing it up makes me feel young again.

I did my first couple of sets of KB workouts this year. My arms and core feel a little wrecked and it was only 7 1/2 minutes.

I don’t really like football. I don’t like the pace of the game, the terrible impact it has on the bodies of the players, and the mindset of the coaches generally.
I don’t tend to watch the Super Bowl unless I’m with friends.
But if you call it fucking Sportsball…

Lasagna is in the oven. The mac & cheese is assembled. (The mornay made me stop and admire my own work.) The focaccia has been transferred to a cast iron pan to rest before heading into the oven.
Also, the kitchen is mostly cleaned up.
I am crushing a cold Sunday morning.

I’m going to make lasagna and I’m going to make mac & cheese. I mention this because it is -10°F right now and I think I want “stick to my ribs” food. The béchamel for the lasagna will become the mornay for the mac & cheese.
But first, a simple tomato sauce

I’ve tried listening to my first book; “Orbital” by Samantha Harvey. The story is excellent, but having it read to me is so much less an immersive experience than actually reading it. I don’t want to wade into controversial waters, but it is a different* experience than reading.

I shared this with friends as a piece of media that lives rent free in my head, but seriously… Mike O’Brien’s “the Jay-Z story” is something that I think about at least once a week. (Jay Pharaoh’s “Empire State of Mind” verse is amazing)

I received an email from Noom. It was asking if a GLP-1 was right for me. It was also trying to pitch me AI menu and food tools.
I found Noom to be valuable, even as it didn’t work for me. However, I don’t need medication and I definitely don’t need a large language model to help with my weight.

I’m really far from being a medical expert, but I’m old, vaguely athletic, and have had a history of knee problems & even when my knee is most stable, I find skiing to be treacherous.
