Sunday: hazy and clear at once

I did not go to bed especially early last night, but thanks to a good night’s sleep the day before, I was still able to spend today studying and looking back over what I had learned. Honestly, the day-to-day repetition can feel dull. Then life occasionally serves up something unpleasant, if bearable, and makes us accept it the hard way. Perhaps it is teaching us that there is still something to look forward to, but also plenty of disappointment to go through first.

I burned through tokens all day and enjoyed it. With Codex’s help, I finally completed the basic full checkup of my computer. After a week of major “surgery,” it is running all the things I need at something like its old speed. Of course I am excited! Windows no longer feels quite so “Android” to me; it almost feels a little “Apple.”

Talking with a friend about my living space today, we agreed it was time to deal with the fact that I have too many hamsters. The benefit of doing so seemed surprisingly large. I am curious to see what next week brings. I feel a little pessimistic and flat, but perhaps it will be interesting after all…
