Today, I find myself at a loss for words, a recurring theme for me. I sat down to write, as I always do, yet nothing felt quite right. There were no profound thoughts or engaging stories to uncover—only an odd, jittery energy coursing beneath my skin, a restlessness that compels me to act but leaves me unsure of how. It isn’t boredom, precisely; rather, it’s as if my mind is pacing back and forth, searching for a door that isn’t there.
Perhaps today is simply one of those days when silence feels overwhelmingly loud, and quiet moments carry a sense of weight. And that’s perfectly okay. Not every day needs to be profound or highly productive. Some days, it’s enough to show up, acknowledge this strange restlessness, and sit with it for a while.
Tomorrow may bring greater clarity, or perhaps it won’t. But at least I’ve written this down.
Sandy was peacefully sleeping, allowing me to use my computer without interruption. After having her breakfast, she returned to my desk, trying to settle down right in front of my keyboard. The forecast predicts a high of 82 today, although it doesn’t feel that warm inside the house. It’s quite chilly, so I have wrapped myself in a blanket. Once the house warms up, I plan to turn on the swamp cooler, but for now, I’ll keep it off.
Kel rode into work with Tommy this morning. She plans to take the car to go shopping with Chris. Kel is sending me pictures of Everest, Chris’s dog. Sandy keeps lying down in front of my keyboard, making it a bit challenging to type. Kel and Tommy should be home early today, as Tommy finishes work early on Fridays, and he is off every other Friday as well.
I’m still not understanding this memoize function. Here is an example that I found:
function memoize(fn) {
const cache = {};
return function (...args) {
const key = JSON.stringify(args);
if (cache[key]) {
console.log("Using cached value for", key);
return cache[key];
}
console.log("Calculating result for", key);
const result = fn(...args);
cache[key] = result;
return result;
};
}
Karissa received a bill for her dental appointment, which I anticipated since her health insurance doesn’t cover dental care. The charge was $181 for an examination and dental X-rays. She has another appointment scheduled for Tuesday for cleaning, followed by a few more visits to address her cavities. Unfortunately, she has to bear these costs, but maintaining good dental health is important.
I’ve realized that I haven’t really discussed anything today, and that’s perfectly fine. Let me think… I recently watched the trailer for Witcher 4, and I must say, it’s quite impressive. In this installment, we play as Ciri, which is fitting since, if you’re familiar with Witcher 3, you’d know that Geralt has retired and is now living in his own home. Did I just spoil a part of Witcher 3? After all, it has been out for ten years, and I’ve played it multiple times.
I did some laundry today, and I still have clothes to put away. I think I’ll take care of that now and prepare myself a cup of matcha tea.
