october

what a month.

cohost went read-only on the first. i went to a user meetup / wake in northampton the following weekend. i continued my job hunt (successful, btw). i tried (and largely failed) to rest. i learned that i am extremely bad at being unemployed.

everyone i talked to told me that it's pretty normal to not do anything in that window, that it's normal and reasonable to need a break. unfortunately, it did not feel like i was resting, it just felt like i couldn't do anything (distinct! not fun!).

anyway. tomorrow i start a new job, which will give me some structure in my day again. i get novelty—meeting new people, working on new things, experiencing and solving new problems. i'm looking forward to it.

weird, rough month. i am tired. someday i will be able to rest, but it is not right now.

i want to actually keep up with this blog more. i hadn't really realized it had been nearly a month since my last post. time flies. when i have things to write about, i'll do it here. that's about all i can promise.

ok that's it bye
