dropped my son off at school and had time for a cappuccino. the drive through line was insane so i went inside. i was literally the only customer. the register guy was so flustered to see a human outside of an SUV that he sent the order twice.the barista said the cappuccino was made, i could take it or they’d pour it out.so, anyway — just finished my 2nd triple-cappuccino. my soul is humming, i’m levitating a little bit, and can smell shapes with my eyes closed. am i OK?

working on app code again (as apposed to plug-in code) and oh man, i don’t think it’s possible to overstate how liberating it is.suddenly not having to worry about namespace collisions, or hidden subclass overrides, undocumented categories, etc etc.everything is just a tiny bit harder in a plug-in. and it all adds up.

my in-laws just told me they’re going to be here for another whole week. 😭i love them, but omg, GO HOME. i should note that they stayed here for the better part of three full months starting last spring to mid summer.each time they come for “just a couple days” then can’t leave for 1000 reasons. suddenly they’ve been here a month, then two…i like it that they’re comfortable with us and i like to have family around. but omg. people. come. on…JUST GO HOME

what was to be an overnight stay — only about 12 hours, turned to 8 days, a surprise you’re making thanksgiving dinner for your in-laws in 2 days while your wife watches broadway shows in new york!but they just drove away. i retrieve my wife back from the airport, sick with a fever apparently, but…the in-laws are gone!!! omg. i love them, but they have serious boundary issues. getting them to leave is HARD.this introvert is so happy to have his space back, you don’t even know.

i’ve come to the conclusion that i just have too many communication channels. three email l accounts, imessage, twitter mastodon, 3 discord servers where i’m personally messaged constantly, and 4 forums.simply responding to all of these things is a full time job all on its own. i’m forever behind.when i do catch up, which is rare, it means i’m ignoring real work. when i’m doing development it means ignoring some number of these channels.

in four months i will not have “kids,” just adult children. and that’s honestly the most existential dread mid-life crisis inducing milestone i’ve crossed.i think i need to buy (another) silly sports car or something to recapture my quickly expiring youth.

after a few weeks on mastodon without much thought about twitter i’ve noticed a distinct change in my own mood.i think twitter force-feeding us rage inducing tweets every day was having more of an impact on my psyche than i care to admit.i didn’t follow much politics and always used Twitteriffic — but the people i followed retweeted their algorithmic rage all day every day.i really feel like i owe someone a thank you for giving me this piece of my life back that’s been missing for years.

so… this is hard for me, but i’m starting to think it may be time to consider getting a permanent wheelchair. i have a loaner. it’s old, squeaky, judging by weight it’s apparently made of lead.google seems lousy with enshittified ad pollution.anyone out there have any good info/advice/love of a particular chair?also any advice for coming to grips with this transition in my mobility would be greatly appreciated.plz boost if you can.

it’s difficult to overstate how tough it’s been to deal with limited mobility. hiking and cycling used to be such a fundamental part of my life.i can still walk. but barely. the break in my hip may heal but will come with some chronic pain and the nerve damage in the other hip is permanent.i can still cycle but only on level ground for short distances. i still love it, but it’s not the same.and so, here i am…to be able to do more without assistance a chair might be more useful than a cane.

i should also mention that, yes, i do have a PT doc appt for this in the works. but i have some time before that as i’m trying to find a single doc for both OT and PT. and i’m trying to get a bit educated beforehand.
