Trying to avoid the news but every day headlines are like:
Morning: Man decides to blow up the moon today.
Evening: Man decides not to blow up the moon today and expects us all to be grateful he averted a crisis.

This is legitimately scary to look at.

OK, so his exact words were "most popular team" but I think we both know the truth.

I go into our local LEGO store here only to find they are sold out of the Ferrari SF-24 sets and only the SF-24 sets, not any of the other team sets.

I have been told by @jethroex.bsky.social that this is the problem with rooting for the best team. You have to fight all the other fans for merch.

For some reason my wife was not amused when I sent her this picture after I cut my finger opening a can of cat food.

This lizard is hiding under my dragon fruit plant. As long as he doesn't eat my succulents we're cool.

But also, ADHD meds seriously helped too. Highly recommend.

I can update my to do list, check weather, send and receive texts and phone calls, navigate with Google Maps, make quick internet searches, and listen to audio content through my headphones.

What I can't do is get distracted by much of anything because there's no web browser and the screen is tiny.

I started leaving my phone at home when I went to work and used my smart watch for essential communication. Did this for about 2 weeks and it worked fairly well. It was just annoying enough that I wasn't tempted to use it unnecessarily, but functional enough that I could use it when I had to.

Lately I've been trying to have a healthier relationship with my phone, social media, and the news. I tried every digital method I could think of to reduce my screen time, but I would always end up bypassing my limitations when they became inconvenient. It was clear that I needed physical limits.
