"Frustrated with learning a new skill?" asks the article. "Helpful advice from a circus performer who has taught himself to do things that most of us can’t — like juggle fire."

I can already juggle fire. And like just about anything else I can do, it really doesn't feel like that big a deal. Anything I can do is probably simple and anyone can do it. Anything other people can do and I can't makes me incompetent, or is actually really difficult and I will never be able to do it.

That's what my brain always tells me anyway.

Why am I feeling so enervated and depressed this morning? Maybe because I ran out of my medicine in my pill-minder yesterday, then forgot to take pills when I got home? Yeah, that's probably it. Maybe I should try and take a half-day off today.

I measured it; it's 22".

Unfortunately, the frame of the cursor is cracked and falling apart at one edge so I don't want to use this one. You can see the magnifying lens in this picture though. It's so nifty!

I'm not doing the greatest job at taking care of myself lately. I forgot to refill my pill case a couple weeks ago too and missed a day. My space at home is messy and it weighs on me, but I haven't cleaned up. And I'm at the edge of being too large to fit into the work clothes that I bought because I was too large to fit into my original work clothes.

Warm weather so I can start biking again can't possibly get here too soon for me.

I didn't mention that Rufus tore another claw. Maybe it's more common with small dogs? It was most of the way off Sunday night, and on Monday it came off entirely. I only noticed because his foot was bleeding on the floor on Sunday evening. It stopped pretty quickly, and when we called the vet on Monday she made an appointment for him this afternoon. That's the second time he's hurt a claw like that, the poor little guy.
