Going great so far - as the work week has started a day late, today's practically already Wednesday!
It's finally warm enough to work outside most of the day, so that's what I'm doing. Loving it. Behind the PC monitor I see mountains, a small forest and the dogs wandering around in the garden, trying to secretly dig holes where they think I can't see them.
On a personal level, I find myself (finally) growing increasingly indifferent to various things that I can't influence. If the world stays its current course, there's a good chance I'll lose some of the luxuries in my life, but in the grand scheme of things we'll likely still be okay. Let the world burn if it wants to - I'll save the rest of my sanity for the problems that affect me personally if and when they arise.
This mindset brings an immense sense of freedom. I'm much happier already.
Besides that it's a pretty normal week, just busier than usual as there's a lot to do in the garden and around the house. I still need to fix the holes in the lawn, get rid of a metric ton of weeds and paint some walls. It's a lot of work but totally worth it.
What I wouldn't give to see mountains again.
There you go. 🤗
You beautiful bastard. I was meaning on the local horizon! 🤣 The Jungfrau, Matterhorn, usw., is of little good from Texas. Hell, I'll take the shit around Valbella. Or Phoenix.
