Highlights from last night's dreams:

1. I lived in a parallel universe where "elementary" was spelled "elementery". (It was distressing.)

2. A cop caught me jaywalking and made me do a drunk test, except the test was to have multiple assailants attack me and see if I could use aikido on them. (Success!)

I made it! It was pretty cool. The techs (Eduardo & Charmain) were cool. Eduardo had a Snorlax(!!!) lanyard.

The earplugs and headphones they gave me were adequate.

I was nervous at first, but found it cozy actually. But maybe that's the 1mg Lorazepam (SL) talking. :3

Cool facts:

The MRI machine's magnets are rated at 3 Teslas (30,000 Gauss)
The machine had concentric rings painted onto the floor around it, with labels (5 Gauss, 100 Gauss, etc.) as you got closer
The call button they gave me was PNEUMATIC :D
The headphones they used to talk to me were also, somehow, pneumatic. This seems so novel and weird and I really want to learn how these work!!

Questions for the audience:

Do the magnets interact with the trace ferrous minerals in body in any meaningful way?

@rtn That was my initial thought too. It was only when I graphed speed vs. time in my head that I saw, "oooh, the line for speed=100 is only half as long, so the average can't be 75km/h."

@rtn Hehe. It's one of those problems that tempts you to use System 1 (quick) brain, but requires System 2 (slow) brain. Speed = Distance / Time = D / T Given D / T = 50 km/hr Given D / (T/2) = 100 km/hr AvgSpeed = 2D / (T+T/2) Let D = 50 km So, T = 1 hr AvgSpeed = 2(50) / (1 + 1/2) AvgSpeed = 100 / 1.5 AvgSpeed = 66.6̅ km/hr

- Carrots & hummus.
- Oatmeal, loaded with seeds & dried fruit & peanut butter.
- Those precious few moments when I'm able to give myself permission to slow down, and just let myself be.

What are you feeling grateful for today?

Executive function is so hard. 😭

I'm slowwwly starting to figure out systems that work for my brain, but it is very gradual.

A big thing that helps me seems to be "resetting" spaces, like my kitchen or bathroom, to a well-defined "good" state. I can walk in, see what's not right, and address it. It's kind of like the feeling you get when you have a git repo and there are no untracked files, no unstaged or staged files, and everything has been pushed.

A big growth edge has been figuring out how to do this for my digital spaces. Right now it's just a big mess of browser tabs, multiple workspaces, terminals, and vim sessions all over the place. 😵

Who made the world?
Who made the swan, and the black bear?
Who made the grasshopper?
This grasshopper, I mean —
the one who has flung herself out of the grass,
the one who is eating sugar out of my hand,
who is moving her jaws back and forth instead of up and down —
who is gazing around with her enormous and complicated eyes.
Now she lifts her pale forearms and thoroughly washes her face.
Now she snaps her wings open, and floats away.
I don't know exactly what a prayer is.
I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down
into the grass, how to kneel down in the grass,
how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields,
which is what I have been doing all day.
Tell me, what else should I have done?
Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon?
Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?

- Mary Oliver
