Well, I'm back in Omaha for several months after a few eventful days at my parents' Nebraska home, which came right on the heels of my time in Hagerstown. As a result of this, it'll probably be a few days more before I really feel settled in here.
It's a hundred and two degrees outside here. Luckily because I have the window a/c and some energy management techniques in use, my room is among the cooler ones in the house during all but the very hottest part of the day, so as long as I avoid it during the afternoon I'm fine.
My phlaky phone has been replaced! And the new one fulfills my primary requirement of having a physical keyboard and my secondary requirement of being a fairly substantial piece of physical material. It is a Pantech Crossover. It's actually the same phone Jack has, so I was able to test drive it. I've been getting used to typing on it in the Google Drive app, which is pretty great. This could be my ideal portable writing solution.
The State of the Me
Mostly okay. The summer, the heat... I think I need to accept that I'm basically like one of Pratchett's silicon-based trolls. In the cold of winter my mind races faster and faster. In the heat of the summer I just get increasingly sluggish and dull. Even when the temperature is down to tolerable/not dangerous levels, it's still too warm for me to get the deep sleep that's so vital to my smooth braining.
I think I'm going to have to accept that summer will be my slack season to just muddle through, with late fall, winter, and early spring being my prolific-explosions-of-productivity times.
Plans For Today
I only just got back to the house, so nothing too ambitious. I'm doing a bit of writing on my phone just to give it a sort of "shakedown cruise".
