It is 7:44pm and I am bringing this thread back from the dead.  What are you doing?

It is 3:32 a.m. and I wish I were dead. (Not seriously!)

I'm just finishing up lunch at work (graveyard shift).

It is 1808 and I have finally done my bare minimum of writing for the day. (It's been a low-focus sort of day.) 827 words of world-building, huzzah.

Nice (I think I wrote a half a paragraph that wasn't day-job related yesterday)

It is 09:52 and I've done it again!  Better go...

It is 6:23pm and I am world-building instead of working on my website. Go me, procrastinating as usual.

It is 1:29pm and I just finished my first (relatively successful) day at my new, work-from-home job. I say relatively successful because my laptop dock doesn't want to talk to my laptop, which means the laptop isn't being charged and the peripherals (mouse, keyboard, second monitor) don't connect. Hopefully the (second!) replacement dock will arrive tomorrow, and I actually be completely up and running. (Crossing fingers!)

It is 7:22pm and I am trying to come up with a term of endearment for a step-father in the story I'm writing.  I'm getting tired of  calling him "TOE" (term of endearment).

It is 10:45 am and I am about to shape some sourdough bread before its second rise.

It is 23:52 and I am sipping a palo santo infusion I finally got around to brewing for myself -- it's nice!  :)

It is 5:29pm (17:29 hours) PDT and I am entering the last five minutes of my lunchbreak and thus exist in a liminal space between temporary freedom and the tyranny of Karens.

It is 1510 hrs MDT, and I am, in about a quarter of an hour*, going to be every minute of sixty years old.

When I was very much younger (20ish, maybe, give or take), I encountered a George Burns quote: 'You can't help getting older, but you don't have to get old.' Since George was, at the time, in his 80s, playing God on the big screen and generally being a cultural icon of late-life vim-and-vigor, I figured that he probably knew what he was talking about, and in any case it sounded like a laudable goal to strive for. It's working out pretty well for me so far, though I don't expect to match his longevity (he made 100).

*I'm not hanging about waiting for the precise moment to post; got things to go do!

ETA: Whoops, make that a hour and a bit - Calgary didn't use DST when I was born.
