valentines days.
i mean, let's be honest valentines days should feel like everyday, love at all times, not metered, always on demand, high capacity, low latency, unlimited quota.
it should not take one day to make it stand out but i get it, the systems of the world need days like this to motivate money movements, get the baby making cycle going again each year just in case (well maybe) but mostly to spread a lotta love in a much needed focused day on love through all the darkness and misery that being a human can often push down on us.
if you was here today, i'd have it all planned out, heck, i'd have had it planned out a week ago maybe, food in the fridge, drinks, nice breakfast, little hike/walk maybe, just a full day, your fav films and food treats and everything in between, you know how i roll.
I've just been a little consumed with setup of the new machine the last week or so and i feel a little bit guilty about actually, realising that when i go all in on something i let it override everything, i should have had a plan for today, i'm sorry that i did not come through, i'll make it up, please bear with me!
i'm glad we made that decision that from today and for all future valentines that we make them experiences instead of things. i know you got something for me (you!) and that's coming today but don't think for one minute i don't miss sending you random stuff to amazon boxes around nyc -- some of my fav things on our journey seeing you go to some random deli on stream and unpacking stuff.
that however does not mean that things won't appear on valentines from now on, nothing more i like than ordering random things to addresses and pub tables as you well know, surprises are kinda the best, but i also know that optimising for the road are gonna be something we go back and forth on! (oh baby)
can't believe we blasted through three hours last night but at least we caught most of the fish eh, thanks for being my guide and my eyes along the route to the various ponds, crazy i never even fished at that spot before last night and we have played nearly 10 game years! wtf, that game is SUCH good value.
felt like an age since i've wrote anything, i know it is, sorry about that, i'm hoping to get back into that morning writing flow once more, we are getting there, still deciding between the tools, i'm currently looking at a new platform that runs locally that's "markdown" ready called https://obsidian.md -- if for nothing else it's a great backup, no subscription, completely free!
Obsidian is a powerful knowledge base that works on top of a local folder of plain text Markdown files.
Sorry if that's a big right turn clive departure from talking about valentines, kinda sucks that you are not here, i'm not there, but hey, pandemic times are still very much here right -- at least we have vaccines rolling out in a few months, seems like we've been in this holding pattern forever.
that said, we've both made massive headway into the foundations of the things we want to work on in the last year i think, that fact that you have nearly 100 orders is not wasted on me, you've learned so much, i know the years to come are gonna be scaling, adapting, more learning -- it's gonna make everything else so much easier i think.
if there is one thing that i've really come to realise and remember again is that literally life can change in a heartbeat, everyday is an opportunity to level up and love on each other, looking forward to spending a bit of time together today, maybe have a glass of whisky and a sprite while navigating the virtual worlds together.
if i've not said it recently (i don't think that's the case tbh) but i'm incredibly proud of all the work you've been putting in, don't think i don't notice it on the daily, from the store, to yaself, to the way you are building out the micro community, learning new tools, it's freaking bad ass -- you just keep swinging and it makes me smile, wide!
Right, i better post this, get my walk in, get myself vertically organised to approach the day properly and get after that theme setup, it's heading in the right direction and i'm pretty stoked about it, oh and also, i'm gonna start writing an e-book about it, because you know, things. Why not huh?
Love you, always have.
