november 19 etc
I spent most of today kinda braindead. I haven't been sleeping much but I've still been getting up in the morning at a usual-ish time and it's caught up to me to the point that everything is taking twice as long. I'm not talking about complicated things. I'm talking about things like figuring out if I am thirsty or choosing what task to do first when I have a handful of things going on. I feel like I'm floating in and out of rooms and conversations. Sometimes it almost feels like I'm watching myself float.
I have always had trouble sleeping. I like sleep a lot but I'm just not good at it. A few times a year I'll into the habit of getting into bed at like 10pm every day, reading until the first hint of a yawn and then going byebye Right now I am waiting for the sleeping medication to kick in and while I do that, it feels like a good time to say that I am scared of missing a day of the big blogging streak (#tbbs) and undoing all my progress. When I argue against myself about this I say "that's not how progress works" and sometimes I even believe myself.
As was the case on November 7 and November 10, this is more of a journal entry than what anyone would call a blog post but, also, I am old enough to remember when that was what blogging was. Better times, man. Better times.

🏀🏀 My podcast partner Jonathan and I had to take a month off our basketball pod Red Black Comeback for life reasons but we got back to it and recorded a banger yesterday. You can listen to it here and/or subscribe wherever you subscribe to pods.
Jonathan is pretty high on this episode:
So high that he didn't seem to mind me doing stuff like this.

David Boreanaz came up at dinner tonight for some reason and it reminded me that I submitted a headline packet to Clickhole in 2016 and one of my headlines (for a Buzzfeed-style "take this quiz and" piece) was: Are You Lonely Enough to Watch Bones?
#Also:
A few years ago a friend of mine (early thirties now) told me that she and her partner are big time Bones fans, and that they watched the show all the time. It took me a literal year to figure out she was being serious. And now I am confessing this to you. And her. Sorry Dabo!
