10-4-4-4-4-12. Done before the start of the brutal heat!

I ran the usual distance, but I don't know how long it took. 10 pull-ups.

And that's the day. I worked late, so I got up late, and Katt handled breakfast and the morning message and getting dressed. I just read LOTR to the guy, then sat with him through his online school assembly meeting.

Then, I went and got propane and groceries, came back and cleaned them up, then had a late lunch.

I went for my run, then took a shower, and even though I didn't work today, it was 5 PM at that point.

No project work got done. A difficult email was written, and a phone call was returned. I started making dinner.

That's the whole day. It's really hard to do stuff like working on cool projects.

I did have the choice to spend some time on a project instead of working out, but I think of the working out consistency as a thing that'll keep me sane when a wave of harder days comes so that I can keep on doing both regular work and project work when the time becomes available.

I went grocery shopping, and I felt like it was half the day. Going less frequently (we got most of our stuff via delivery) means buying more stuff when I do go. I have to be more focused than I'd like to be when I'm in the store. Then, there's cleaning the stuff when I get back.

The guy wanted to watch his school’s remote fifth grade graduation. It’s not bad, really. Lots of nice testimonies from teachers. Also, Matt Damon and Elizabeth Warren?

Most interestingly, though, I think there’s a few trans kids in fifth grade. It’s happening!

Last day of school. One hand, missing a third of kindergarten is probably not as bad as missing a third of any other year in school. On the other, those kids and teachers were so great. I'm sad that the guy didn't get to spend more time with them.

10-4-4-4-4-12.

I think either the running or the working out every weekday has made the burpees part of this workout easier. The pandemic has been bad for my mental health, but I guess it's actually made me physically healthier.

45-minute (?) run, thanks to unexpected traffic forcing me on a detour, 10 pull-ups. I did learn that Broadway is open to pedestrians now, though!

Adam Robinson-Yu's A Short Hike game because it came in the Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality. I only played for fifteen minutes, so far, but for me, that's a lot of playing for any game that's not Slay the Spire.

I really like the natural dialogue and the relaxed attitude, as well as the sense of freedom. You feel like you can go a lot of places, very similar to what you can do on a hike, except that you can also swim and fly, being some kind of bird. It has the feel of something a little Breath of the Wild and a little Animal Crossing while being cleverly produced much more cheaply than those games.

The secret to getting the guy interested in the scooter (which hopefully leads to getting more regular exercise and less intense days) was pointing out that you can go down ramps!

In this standup show Chappelle moves between anger, righteousness, and humor in a really amazing way. It is sad, though, not just because of the subject matter, but because he sounds kind of like he's dying.

The Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality is awesome. The money goes to bail funds and the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, which coincidentally are the only racial justice non-profits that (so far) I've found that tell you exactly what the do to reach their policy goals.

It includes 1,000 products. Among them, Celeste and Ironsworn, a single-player tabletop RPG. My friend Erik, thinks highly of Irowsworn, so I've been meaning to check it out.
