Trying to not get really nervous about this next week and focusing on other things instead. My ADHD is making it harder sometimes so I'll do the best that I can in the moment.

Might try to work on one of my stories this next month.

Possibly the strangest first world problem, but it looks like I was awarded three patents recently. I thought I had two still working through the process. I have no clue what the third one is and no real way to check until it pops into something publicly searchable.

So, if I had a nickle for every surprise patent, I'd have two nickles, which isn't a lot, but it's strange that it happened twice.

Not bad. Trying to get in front of a wider audience and narrow down what I write about. Setting goals for 2027.

Starting to navigate landing in Environmental Advocacy. Its telling that no service, school, or even the unemployment office can tell you how to look for work or network at environmental organizations (any recommendations? No network up here in BC and its the cause I'm latching onto).

I baked a spectacular loaf of GF bread. Definitely broke all nutrition goals this morning with toast - pro tip is to slather your toast with unsalted butter and add your own favorite salt as it melts. Trust me on this. Life changing yum.

In doing well. What about you, OP?

I'm just packing for my trip to Arizona tomorrow to spread my dad's ashes in Phoenix and Tucson. Given all the rain in the forecast, that could be an interesting endeavour. But I've confirmed I can pick up my gaming rig on the way back, so that will be a quality-of-life improvement. On the plus side, no need to change back to standard time while I'm there.

My week is going good, other than lack of sleep.
