30 days have September, April June and November. All the rest have 31, and i know we just came out of 31 days of July but for some reason it didn’t feel like 31 to me. I think that’s because i was doing a loooot of thinking and <insert word that means trying to moderate and modulate self when commenting on llm code comments so my actual comment is understood not taken as “hEnRy iS jUsT anTi-Ai”>.
So now we have 31 more days, and im feeling, generally, better about things. It’s not because my situation or experiences have changed at work and in what sad world news i read. I think it’s because ive found some consistency, and it’s in my diet:
- 10am ish: two or three eggs, salad leaves, hot sauce, maybe an avocado. the hot sauce is very important, i looooooove it! also banana before or after, and of course coffee (occasionally first of two)
- 3pm ish: brown rice, beans, more beans, one pepper, chilli, chilli oil, more chilli, spring onion, toasted sesame oil, maybe avocado houmous, maybe some other vegetable that ive fried (onion, leek; i should buy some broccoli and some spinach leaves), and bunch of herbs and spices and soy and stuff.
- 6pm or otherwise after work: one orange one biscuit, maybe two.
Every day. Every day.
And this has been making me feel so good that ive even started romanticising exercising! That’s MASSIVE for me! I think im starting to get into a groove.
Last month i dearly, honestly thought that i would continue being super depressed about having trouble communicating with other humans when they use LLMs to answer or explain or document, and that there wasn’t anything i could do about it. Turns out i just needed a fridge-freezer that actually worked so i can keep vegetables and other things for longer than 24 hours, and that would net me enough modicums of happiness, enough crumbs of <insert synonym for happiness that starts with “cr”> that i could make a biscuit and eat it (chocolate hobnob lovers rise up), and ✨live✨
