I wake at 5 AM. This is the perfect time to wake up in NYC TZ, as it affords me the ability to eat a whole apple in the time it takes my little internet-browsing chromebook to load all the IRC and Discord backlogs from the five hours that I snuck away for a nap when nobody was watching.

I slather the apple with a haphazard scoop of peanut butter; getting away from a keyboard for more than twenty six seconds in a given stretch is difficult, and I need protein. While entering into a fraught negotiation over the meaning of 30-day discussion period with my left hand, I carefully scoop protein powder into a shaker with my right. There’s no time to waste. Not even a single second–Another argument could break out, steal a 1973 Pontiac Firebird, and go joyriding on the wrong side of the freeway.

I’m writing this blog post with my toes. They know their way around a keyboard, but they’re slow and prone to mistakes. My cat is in charge of hitting an oversized backspace key when I dangle his favorite toy over it. It’ll be hours before we get something together that can be read coherently.
