Yesterday I exercised, ate mindfully, and drank plenty of water. Kind of a rough morning at work, but not the worst day.
Then, I went and watched that stupid US presidential debate while making dinner.
As best as I can figure, my cortisol levels spiked *so much* from watching that my fasting blood sugar this morning was ~10 points higher (!) than it normally is. 😖
I just hope this doesn't throw me off of my current rhythm.
Not trying to flex, but I've blasted through *a dozen* audiobooks in just under six weeks.
Alright, alright... Maybe I'm trying to flex _a little bit_. 😄
Fortunately, the book (Infinite Detail) is engaging enough to justify the more intentional listen.
Honestly? I don't hate it.
In fact, I hope they keep the pastels as the default. It's rather soothing.
I wouldn't go putting a production site on it rn, but I am very interested in playing with it.
The in-development default theme for #WordPress 5.6 (Twenty Twenty One) is a definite vibe:

DuckDuckGo's Tracker Radar (list used in Safari's Privacy Report) has found calls to Google on 82% of all sites. Facebook scripts come second (34% of sites).
Google Analytics is the most popular third-party connection (Google owns 8 of top 10 calls).
Totally happy to loop back around on (actually) reading it — slowly and intentionally — once I get a few more titles off of my pile.
Over the weekend, I blasted through the audiobook of Jenny Odell's "How to Do Nothing" at 2X.
I enjoyed it very much. However, as it was wrapping up, I bumped the speed up a couple more fractions of an X so I could finish it before I got through the evening's dishes.
This led to the realization that maybe I'd missed the point a lil bit. 🙃🤦🏻♂️
COVID, isolation
For the second time in 184 days, I went inside of a building that wasn't my home.
Even though I was in the doctor's office for _maybe_ 10 minutes — and was fully masked and goggled up — I still came directly home, stripped down in the garage, and took a Silkwood shower.
Not gonna catch my ass slipping, Rona!
