… oh, yeah, also, Zeke 'n Cleatus dropped by…

Got up by 6.30am and tried to help Eric C w/the 7am assault on the Pinecrest reservation site without success, but I'm hoping to continue the routine and habit of that wake up time. I've worked on adoption a range of habits over the past few months and, so far, I'm pretty pleased with the progress. That extra time in a warm bed is awesome, but robs me of the chance to put more time into higher priorities, or take a little more time not rushing into and through my day. I sent my cousin/aunt the short video I shot last night and she replied later in the day with gratitude. I shot and sent another tonight, w/Jen making an appearance too. I hope it reaches Paula tomorrow. She was apparently unresponsive today. Lindsey reached out to myself, Marissa and David to share that she's tested positive for covid as has 3/5 of her home occupants. She's feeling it, but not hospitalized, and riding it out. She's frustrated by the sense of apathy that got her to this place, not by her own measure but by others that discount the risks. It's yet another 'close call' and makes me all the more concerned about ensuring the appropriate caution be taken. Watched a documentary about "The Ren & Stimpy Show", and did not see the end coming. Wow. I was Luke warm on it until the last 1/4 then it started to unravel the subtext. Although the actions are reprehensible, I found the nature of how they approached and incorporated the idea of personal demons and/or the use of art as a coping mechanism, outlet or other value through which somebody deals with it, surprisingly insightful and, for lack of a better term, human.
