I absolutely hate it when I cannot sleep. Just finished having a two week vacation where I stayed home kind of practice retirement as one of my friends said. Actually, it was because the dog had surgery and needed me home so yesterday I went back to work then I came home exhausted so I went to bed early and now it's 3 AM and I'm wide awake.so yesterday I went back to work then I came home exhausted so I went to bed early and now it's 3 AM and I'm wide awake. I lay in bed dictating to my phone while the cat sleeps on my hip

Interesting

Sooooo - Russia had a bunch of data centers taken out, the result of which is that there is a huge reduction in bot traffic in American social media. Also the pings are gone from this blog. Can't say I miss them. Reports say that the data centers are going to be almost impossible to replace due to inability to get the needed supplies to replace the infrastructure. I am thrilled to have a reduction in the digital disinformation campaign waged against this country for the past decade or so. It has been incredibly effective in sewing division and discontent in the country, radicalizing those who do not have the ability to critically think. I know Ukraine did this as retaliation for their own datacenters destruction by Russian drones. And my belief is that we are moving into dangerous times for any community that houses a data center. These structures are NOT in rural only areas - our biggest data center complex is a mere 50 miles from me. Watching the ripple effect in Ru...

Fall is here

Beautiful day yesterday - October is my absolute favorite month. The colors are striking and there is just something in the air which, to me, feels like home. To get to a Fall day like today, summer must be endured....so many love the heat of summer - give me a cool mountain side, a creek, a lake over the beach any day. I guess this is why I love Scotland so much. I can always get warm, but there is only so much you can do to be cool. Anyway - fall farmer's market and decorating for halloween took my day

Two Days Ago

Image
 I did something I have not done for a while.   I took the day of the fall equinox off.  Of course, I forgot until today (2 days later) that it was the equinox.  Only remembered it tonight.  I took two ‘me’ days in the middle of the week.  Closed the clinic (they survived), got errands run, caught up on some health stuff, got the Halloween candy for neighborhood insanity - and that was just Tuesday.  Wednesday though - I had a beautiful day of nothing. I did get my hair cut, got to visit with some of my favorite peeps.  Lord Buckingham was at daycare, so I was foot loose and fancy free.  It was a very relaxing day.  I went to work today with a smile, having slept well and just felt all around good. I needed it, since the world is going to $&%@* around me.  The piper is coming to be paid, and everyone seems shocked.  I’m not.  Saw this coming when I left DoD work - goodness 35 years ago.   I’ve never regretted medi...
