I'm convinced I need to get a newsletter out today but I've written so many for a while that I've not spent enough time looking through the past. I feel the need to get my brain moving because there are four stories I want to tell today and I know I will get that work done.
I have written a good introduction to the newsletter so I should begin getting to the writing. I think I'm awake enough and I managed to capture a little of myself here. That's the point. More people should be doing this. But I now have to get through the day and am glad I am alive.
I will not be going anywhere today. I will be staying here in my house and trying to relax and recharge. I've been spending too much time around other people and attending a party last night has filled me with a need to center myself.
I have many things I do each today to begin the writing day. I write a catchphrase. I may have even provided a link to that somewhere. I began doing this after I left Charlottesville Tomorrow. I am alive every day, so every day needs some sort of a marker that I was a human being taking breath and trying to examine and explore as much as I can.
In early days I began writing because I wanted to create a version of my existence that would outlast the time when I no longer can breathe. I enjoy going through the world providing examples of how humanity can be amazing despite the awfulness of some types of people.
I am the sort of person with expressive eyes, something someone told me and it made me happy and I'm trying to sort it out because I'm convinced all of the time now that I have to keep writing, because that's what I do. I have over 200 new subscribers in the past 36 hours and I need to give them something.
I went shopping and here I am procrastinating. I would like to try to do something different in my house today, move things around, and I procured two useful boxes.
In any case, now I've written something for today in another space where I've written other days. I forgot to write a catch-phrase for yesterday, but I've written one for today so I can reset.
On to the next task.

"Still working 12 hour days
and plan to do so seven days a week until I die or am no longer allowed to
report. There are no vacations, no good times coming. Just work."
I wrote that on November 14, 2024. And that's more or less how it's been ever since. I have fun sprinkled throughout but I feel I need to do more to get more discipline and stick closer to work so I can get to work as quickly as I can.
But I've been neglected a ritual where I review all of the email I've sent in the past to see if there are any loose threads I need to follow-up on. There always are and that's why today I'm trying to sit here and do at least one day of archive. I'm up to November 14, 2025.
