After the past week, really not mentally prepared for work today, but I guess all I can do is try and put one foot ahead of the other for as long as I can.

I dunno what bug I've got, there's definitely a sinus infection here, but a flu too perhaps. I feel like utter crap, can't keep on my feet at all

Just that sometimes, for me at least, yelling into the void is all I have, and it does help me.

I've not really slept since Tuesday night, I was too upset Wednesday and didnt get home from the hospital till late.

Last night was filled with anxiety, panic attacks, and nightmares. It was a scary situation and your not supposed to see skin like that.

I'm not looking for sympathy, or comments

On top of that, of course I needed to get sick, and have what I beleive is a sinus infection. I did get meds for that today but that was an adventure, as they originally prescribed me amoxacillin ( i didnt notice, more on that to come) which I am allergic to.

These past couple days have been from hell. Wednesday my brother choked on a meatball. It lodged so low they had to sedate him and use forceps to remove it. There was a huge fear of oxygen deprivation. Thankfully, that seems not the case. He was transported to hospital and will be there

Can have multiple drinks and coffee a day at home and never spill anything, but the moment I'm in public?

Someone at work just walked in with a Colombia jacket that evoked the harvest gold appliance vibe of the 70s

On a somewhat related note, how does city paving work? Is it to the lowest bidder? Does that also mean lower quality? Would our costs be less overall if we paid more at the beginning? (and dont get me started on paving in december, when its too cold to meld together)

Yes there are a couple AI images, but I have no budget to commission anyone to make what I wanted. That said if I ever do, I will replace.

Precision as an Art Form Daptl treats software not just as code, but as functional art. We curate bespoke digital architectures, treating every database design and API integration as a commissioned masterpiece.

I've always said there's an art to coding. Yes sometimes it's more like a wrecking ball, punching through a problem, but there's also an elegance. At its heart its problem solving. In that vein, I've reworked my consultant website.

I'm confused. Wasn't the point of the right to bear arms to rise up against tyranny?

I thought I saw about 10 people out walking when I went for coffee at 6 am, but naw, couldn't be, people in Halifax don't use any form of getting around other than cars, right council?

This city is so backward. It will continue to get worse and worse here because no one on council has any vision or, to be blunt, a fucking clue.
