Health & Wellness

Haven't been calorie restricting, weight is fairly stable even with diuretics. I still like drinking too much coffee. Making good progress with Yoga and learning a lot about my body in the process. Yoga with Adriene on youtube is fucking killer and having someone to do it with regularly feels amazing. I remarked to the RPS the other day that I feel like I carry myself differently compared to the past several years. She said that she notices the difference and advised we get additional mirrors so that I can start seeing and believing it. Something to consider.

Books

I have been thinking about diving back into kleinbl00's reading list again. It's been a while now since he compiled it for my benefit, and I've crossed a few titles off the list. However, there's only so much one can take of things like The Dead Hand and Legacy of Ashes.

I have the Three Body Problem on Audible and it's reviews are good enough that I'm tempted to give that a go. Everything just sounds really blah to get into. The last book I really enjoyed was A Darkling Sea by Cambias and that only because of his truly unique aliens and descriptions of their cultures/thought patterns.

Fun stuff feels to fluffy and not-fun stuff feels too darkly serious, I guess. Maybe I should go re-read the Dresden Files or Dune again as a palate cleanser.
