As I grow older, the less I understand anything and that anything may even be myself. Why do I do things the way I do them? Why do I find certain things so hard one day and then a few weeks later, just breeze through them? Why are people so weird? Why am I so weird?
Anyways, I’m in an odd spot where when I’m by myself, I can be very sad and grumpy and then when I’m with other people, I’m generally OK and perhaps even delightfully happy. WTF? I really have no idea, usually it’s the other way around. Who am I? Anyways, I’ve been busy – brunch with a friend, a long walk with Elka and another friend, getting secret ice cream with Jeremy. Singing! Lots of music.
Look at this beautiful forest that Elka and I explored with Kristen. We are all good.
So I’m exploring AI to help with some coaching (mostly strength) and it’s both been mysteriously good and abysmally bad. I know the kids are using it, so I don’t want to let it pass me by. You know how when you lift a barbell – the total weight is the weight of the barbell plus the plates on both sides and the two sides should match, otherwise you tip over like a seesaw. Anyways, the AI couldn’t do the bar/plate math for me correctly. This is addition people. It couldn’t do math! I tried to explain it many times to AI and it just kept apologising and then doing the same wrong math. Also, our smart home is slightly not smart anymore, I can’t really figure out why our doorbell doesn’t ring on all our home speakers which it did when I first installed it. I looked carefully at the settings and I’m…confused.
HAHAHA! Welcome to my world.
There’s a short with the doorbell somewhere. At least that’s what was wrong with ours. Wayback when. I love you too for this kind of caca.
Not all the kids are using AI either. In fact, I recently had a 25-year-old tell me “AI makes me just spend even more useless time on my phone. So, I figured I better just figure out how to fix the problem myself”. I thought smart kid.
My trauma therapist one time told me, “if you feel sad or cranky then just feel sad or cranky. Just don’t let it take over your whole life. give yourself permission to be sad but only for a short period of time. Then you have to move on”. She knows I love music so she said even if it’s a sad song, go and listen to some music when you’re feeling sad or cranky. Because sometimes you have to just go through the emotions of things. I also sometimes we watch something funny. Because the older I get laughing is what I realize is the most important thing I need to do in my life. You hang in there, sweetie pie. I love you.
