That’s not a good place to start the week, but that’s where I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My sense of dread for last week was sort of founded, but I did get through it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The exercise goal was tough for a single day, mainly just because i forgot to do it in amidst the busy work obligations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I did end up writing leet skriptz to do some things that are happening this week. We’ll see how well things work starting tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So. What’s on tap for this week?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well, I have a telehealth appointment early Monday morning, and a dental cleaning Wednesday after work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Otherwise, it’s just a normal March week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
March often seems to me like the longest<\/em> month. I can remember absolutely hating it when I was in school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thirty-one days. No holidays. Just an endless drone of school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since I’ve been older, it’s been better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Obviously, there’s jubilation about St. Patrick’s Day. (Which I still maintain that if you’re going to go out, you should go to a Mexican joint…then go to the Irish joint on Cinco de Mayo….) Lent, too, which I really didn’t appreciate when I was younger. More below in the TOTW \u00a7 below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is something about being in a routine to get your head straight. Maybe there’s no direct benefit, but these ritualized things that prepare you for whatever you’re doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’m having flashbacks to Two-A-Days playing high school football.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Twice-daily practices in the hottest part of summer are awful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You’re sore. You’re more exhausted than you’ve ever been. <\/p>\n\n\n\n But there’s something good that comes from all of it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When you’re playing football, you’re in shape, and you know the playbook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you’re preparing for Easter, you’re setting your heart and mind for the teachings, and the things that faith informs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But, with that, there’s things that I don’t know, and will never know. <\/p>\n\n\n\n And I can’t get to the place where I’ll ever get behind the concept that ritualistic preparation is the answer<\/strong> for salvation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Or health. Look at the COVID prescriptions. You’ve got the prescriptions from The Elect<\/a> who then, themselves, catch the virus<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
