Crosspost:
Dayum was I exhausted last night. But I'm still glad I got up yesterday in time to manage brunch with Cousin on Dad's birthday.
We also found a great mediterranean place near Union Station.
And then I drove past Billionaire Brunch, failed to find parking, drove out for a quick visit with a high school friend in town (who brought my purple charger block), got some laundry done, had to fall over for a nap, eventually got to acro at 7, didn't really do much acro, and eventually got to First Sunday Fusion.
Given the prior day's Billy Goat Trail and mostly standing near Union Station including walking to and from the Capitol from there and then to and from Kelly's (and a couple hours extra being up on account of acquiring a broken phone'd gal in the middle of breaking up with her boyfriend who Would Not Leave Her Alone)
I'm not surprised my legs were less than pleased with climbing up the stairs after the dance.
Final step count (not counting in-house time with watch charging):
Yesterday: 16,078, 173 min, 17 active hours (and no detected floors despite many)
Sunday: 17,723, 193 min, 17 active hours (and 4 detected floors despite us going down and back from the river)
Friday: 13,185, 141 min, 20 active hours, 2 floors
Thursday: 9,692, 101 min, 15 active hours, 2 floors (and now I'm trying to remember Thursday. Did I get to blues?)


I was planning on writing a lot more here, but it's already 2p and I have not done any of the stuff I'dd hoped to do for the Monument City Mutual Aid resources fair on 8/23, especially the part where I was going to cross reference the spreadsheet with groups I could list from a particular facebook group.

The broken phone'd gal eventually went off looking for the boyfriend (facepalm), leaving where we'd led her so he couldn't easily find her. I didn't accept my smarttrip card back.

The Rave Against The Regime wasn't much of a rave but was a really good discussion and later networking.
I probably pissed off some people from Delaware. Dunno. I wasn't expecting to be trying to lead groups to the capitol and back let alone lead group discussion. They'd come expecting a big thing and we'd been trying for chill on little to no notice.

It disturbs me that I'll need to look in Finch to figure out what I did on Thursday.

I should try to get myself out past some of the traffic.

Today was a day

There were some good things, like happening to notice I'd been added to the mutual Aid Facebook group I tried to join on Tuesday and finding that there was a pantry that was going till noon and almost making it and they were willing to talk with me and interested in putting information about the mutual Aid fare on the 23rd and they've got an event on the 9th ...

Of course I was on 4 and 1/2 hours of sleep and now it's past 2:00 and I had told Joe I'd like to go hiking with them but I also have to somehow be back in time for working Rave against the regime at Union Station which starts at 6:00 for the public. I've handed over the glow sticks...

We had a night walk and it was a really good group and we didn't actually really interact with people but we put up a lot of flyers for tomorrow

And I've made a whole lot of flyers

And I was so tired and yet I have not yet gone to sleep

But when I turned on the car to go to Eastern market that's when I learned the corporation for public broadcasting is shutting down

And I think it was earlier today that the jobs report came out and it was not good and it was revised to be worse and Trump fired the person who compiled it and then one of the fed governors retired unxpectedly.

I'm working on putting together this Mutual Aid Fair and that wasn't expecting to but
I've been saying that my main talent is keep it sing. As in you're playing this thing but maybe this should happen? And so I wasn't going to join the meeting and I joined the meeting last night and it turned out that
I changed some of the trajectory.

I'm not making a ton of sense. I posted that it's hard to stay positive and it's true.

I've enjoyed spending the time with basil and with ira and vanilla

I need to figure out the weekend of the 23rd. A friend is having a 60th birthday and would like me to fly out there if I'm willing. It's been a while. It's also opposite sunburn.

Somehow I need to get to sleep. Joe and Bernadette want to pick me up at 11:30.
