Every time I have a real in-person conversation I get stuck in a loop the rest of the day reliving it, trying to do it better. It doesn't stop until I go to sleep and reboot.

And then I forget that I'm just remembering, and start having the conversation out loud until something snaps me out of it.

Maybe. But dreams and flashbacks have a way of keeping things fresh. There's a few moments I keep reliving, trying to find some clue I missed before everything came crashing down.
 

wonko the sane?

You may test that assumption at your convinience.

This is something every does to some extent, and is a perfectly natural human reaction.

When you find yourself in one of those moments: ask yourself; will finding something NOW change what happened then?

Remember, honour, try to live up to. But dwelling on things you cannot change does nothing for you. Considering I don't really know your dad, but gonna say this anyway; would your dad want you to be doing it?

That is a good question.

I don't know. I know, but I don't know. I kinda don't want to know. Nothing good can come of knowing. But I need to know.

Sleep is for people who don't have this jive to deal with.

I will sleep tonight though. I still have a mess but I have excavated myself from underneath the mess.

Yesterday I should have accomplished some estate business. I prepared for it for a couple weeks. I got turned away by a bureaucrat because I lacked a piece of paper I should not have because it's genuinely inapplicable to my case. It applies to a completely different category of estates.

It's getting to me.

Still nothing from the police about Linda's killer. They're actively dodging questions now. Pretty clear they have nothing.
Our last big flemmish giant rabbit passed today. Scout. Was 7 years old and super cuddly. The wife found him this morning.
Wife did the taxes today. Together we somehow owe over 600, even though we both claim 0 and she has extra taken out. By herself she gets a 100 back and I owe over a grand somehow.
After finding this out she said that she's worth more dead than alive and if her cancer comes back she's not going to treat it because she's over everything and done.

Meanwhile one of my college professors asked me to apply for the open position of chief of police for his small town. They've been looking to fill the position since September.
I initially declined because I'm in no way up for that kind of a job. But, hug it I guess. This week I'm babysitting a server farm they're building in KC for Patmos. Patmos is the online storage host for, as they call them, digital exiles. They'll host anyone and refuse to take them down regardless of political or other pressures. So you can guess who their clients are. Their techs are all russian, their head of security is an israeli. and i'm the guard who sits by the door and babysits the dock. For people who give a voice online to those who probably shouldn't be spreading their views.

Sure is a wonderful life.
