There is a hurricane coming. It is supposed to hit Tampa Bay; I think.

I worked from home today and made sure the generator was working and also got gas. All the proper things.

There is a certain joy, I think, that comes from protecting your family. Not that I can protect them from a hurricane BUT I can make sure that we are as prepared as possible. That must a male evolution thing. I am sure women feel something similar; just can’t speak from personal experience.

I do not watch the news. At all. I also do not go on Facebook – unless it is Marketplace to buy/ sell items.

I legitimately did not know there was a hurricane coming. I am sure there are lots of other news stories that I missed; most of which are not nearly as personally important.

I found out by the school calling to cancel in-class school for the next two days because of the hurricane. So, of course, I then looked into it. I did all the things that I would have needed to do had I known about the possibility of hurricane 3 days ago. Everything is fine. I did not miss anything.

I did, however, miss the stress and anxiety that certainly comes with watching the news. Everything is so… ‘not good’ on there. I intentionally choose to remain ignorant to most current events because I have confidence that if I need to know something I will learn it just in time; like today.

My recommendation is, not that you asked, stop watching the news. Stop scrolling your feed. Don’t you think it is ironic that it is called the ‘feed’… maybe because the users are basically livestock. I guess that could just be a coincidence; I think not.

Get your life back. Make stuff instead of watching stuff.

P.S. – today marks a week of daily uploads. Neat
