For some reason Friday i became so impatient with the scam callers. I don't know why it became so noticeable then. But on Saturday morning i snapped at Christine. By the end of Saturday i was kind of achy from yard work. I've given up on building the fence myself because there are too many gardening things to do, and i was a little disheartened, but at least my snappy impatient mood dissipated. I did get seeds on the ground along with potatoes before a long rain on Sunday.
In the happiest news, i found lots of sochan seedlings that i could move to the shady east end of rows. I have noticed how the height of okra and corn tapers off at that end, and so tall sochan, which can grow in shade, and the native thicket bean can manage as perennials at the less productive ends of the rows. It seems violets are straining to put leaves out faster than rabbits can eat them, and the onion greens were happy enough that i picked some for dehydrating.
I hold the residents of Kyiv and Ukraine in my thoughts. It brings to mind a fuzzy memory of being a freshman or sophomore in high school and being very aware of Poland and the "Solidarity" Trade Union movement. I read the statement by FCNL about promoting diplomacy, but i wonder if there can be diplomacy with bad faith actors. I want to choose peace for myself and encourage peace in the world, but this action by the Russian government does not seem to be like that between Pakistan and India, or the internal conflicts in Colombia. I do deplore how the Ukranian government is not allowing men to flee the country.
I had a flush of the trimengial neuralgia pain Saturday morning: i do look forward to feeling confident that it is nothing to worry about. Not that i worry much, but it's just a thing on the list. While health care in the country is awful, i am thankful for my employer's benefit. I would easily accept a little more trouble over getting the MRI on my part if it could be more equitably available for all.
Kenyan Purple tea is ... a variety with purple leaves? And it does have a slightly cooler hue, and there is a marked color change with addition of lemon.
I've started a walk practice. I've got easy to slip on yet ankle supportive shoes now so that it's fairly quick to take a ten minute walk. Hopefully that will be the start of more exercise and more dopamine.
I need another mediation or stretch practice, and i need to figure out a way to stay on top of stuff. To that end, i've added some integrations with airtable using IFTTT. I was an early "adopter" of IFTTT and was able to subscribe for "name your price" when the application dropped its free tier. I wasn't really using it, but i thought i might. So i named a very cheap price (but more than i pay for extra Apple cloud storage), and now i am really using it. I am creating an in box, essentially, one location, much as i had with Evernote. It could be better, but it works.
One small depressing thing is that a working group report i have been working on for three years is likely to not be accepted buy the organization. It's a little disenheartening.
