    WEEK FORTY-SIX [2023]

    can you believe it's been another week?

    this week i allow a goof-based decision-making matrix push me ever-closer to the source.

    apart from that mostly reading and thinking, with contained adventures. i'm b story.

    monday

    i am wet, yet again, with washing machine juice. on Sunday the machine stopped working. we know why, it's had a hard time draining because i've not been careful with checking my pockets for coins and little copper tom nook faces. lying on the floor, operating tools, peeping through a tiny hole, drenched with washing machine juice, feeling like i'm on the the crystal maze. an unfortunate discovery about my washing machine tube: the piece of hard plastic that connects it to the filter is the exact diameter of a ten pence coin. i cannot extricate the ten pence coin from the tube.

    kj had a little baby. looks very friendly. congratulations to all.

    windsday

    nearly lost all my time to installing linux and android on all my devices and deleting all my big tech stuff accounts again. pulled myself out of the nosedive at the last minute and bought a new iphone on credit to try and make it feel like it's not an option. lost at least 12 hours of bento work to that waste of time
