glitch25I know I had intended to post more about the self care, but some of that self care has been trying not to hold myself to rigid concerns. :-)
I picked up a Palm Zire 72 to replace my old one. I've started re-collecting some of my old tech, and the joy of Ebay is that someone is always giving it away as though it were junk in their drawer vs antiquated tech, so it means I get really good deals on that junk.
I think the 72 was my last Palm device before I moved to Windows Mobile. It had a color display, a built in camera, and a slot for an SD card, and was a pretty cool PDA to have in its day. As it still goes today, I have a tendency to wear my tech down to the proverbial nub before I move on, and my PDAs were no different, so I was a little sad when I discovered recently that my 72 had given up the ghost.
Collecting and relieving memories of these things brings me a good measure of joy, and I've been happy that I've been so lucky to find so much.
I've been considering reliving the ebook reading experiences of these devices and chipping through some old favorites just for the fun of it.
I enjoy knowing that I was "that guy" who always carried a PDA. They always served me well, and I have very fond memories.
On other fronts, we've been working a little harder to plan dinner for next week. I decided that I don't want to be frazzled like last year and we're going to prep as much as we can ahead of time. I'm happy for that. Just the existing bubble of folks. Can't fathom the people wanting to gather outside their own bubble. This thing is getting more rampant and we really don't need people deliberately making it worse. The counts at work are up significantly and while I know we're in a better place to tackle things logistically than we were 6 months ago, I think everybody is still a little on edge watching. So at least for us, the plan is to keep us safe no matter what. Hope you and yours are planning safely.
I am looking forward to decorating for Christmas. I get a lot of joy from doing it and then seeing it through the season, and I need all the joy I can find. I may find ways to leave more of it up for a while. I need more reminders that things can and will be good eventually.
How are things in your neck of the woods?
More to come.
