I am here, at Sips. I am reflecting on the regimented life. That is, I am trying to plan ahead for the fall semester - trying to tackle any administrative holes so that I can begin to build a schedule and clear any sort of obstacles out of the way.
i think i need to start building a list of daily practices - or at least know which things i need to practice daily in order to maintain a sense of accomplishment, productitivty, and self-fulfillment
surely, writing is part of this practice, though knowing the fashion with which it should be spun is altogether a different question. will it be different days for different types of writing? different blocks of time for different types? likely it will be a sort of decision tree: a buffet or a choose your own adventure style approach to seeking whim while adhering to standards - two things i think should be in rightful balance
anyway, back to the original intent of this post. if the git update works than modifying and upating this blog should be a piece of cake, and I have perhaps set myself up for a certain kind of success. thanks as always to the folks at Obsidian and quartz

today is a two-parter. not long after writing the previous post, i got in my car to go grocery shopping only for the engine to turn off when i was going downhill around the corner from my house. the car cranked back on with ease, so i went to the gas station to top off my gas as the trip meter read 200 miles and i know the gas level can be iffy, particularly when low
however the car did not crank back on after i filled up the tank. some good samaritans offered to push my car to a parking spot and even to jump start the battery - neither of which i believe are the issue.
i felt pretty helpless, which made me reflect on the role of experts
