A Sense of Doubt blog post #3938 - SoD Reprint from Nov. 29 2017 - "Height" XKCD

Another reprint because I fell behind due to the Thanksgiving holiday and had not planned ahead well enough.

As I mentioned yesterday, I went with two posts from 2017, my first year in the PACNW.

It's always fun to see what I posted on this day in this case seven years ago.

Thanks for tuning in.

Hey, Mom! Talking to My Mother #877 - "Height" - xkcd cartoon - top of the observable universe

Hi Mom,

I searched Google for "burnout xkcd," hoping to find a good xkcd comic specifically about burnout. I did not. But then I clicked the "random" button on xkcd's site: https://xkcd.com. Today's Felsius is pretty funny, too. I will include it below as a two-fer.

This is a pretty great comic and it completely alleviated my burnout, though on Friday when I am typing these words and not back on Wednesday for which I am posting this comic when I got much less done.

Reflect and connect.
Have someone give you a kiss, and tell you that I love you, Mom.
I miss you so very much, Mom.
Talk to you tomorrow, Mom.

NEW (written 1708.27) NOTE on time: I am now in the same time zone as Google! So, when I post at 10:10 a.m. PDT to coincide with the time of your death, Mom, I am now actually posting late, so it's really 1:10 p.m. EDT. But I will continue to use the time stamp of 10:10 a.m. to remember the time of your death, Mom. I know this only matters to me, and to you, Mom.

- Days ago: MOM = 3802 days ago & DAD = 457 days ago

- New note - On 1807.06, I ceased daily transmission of my Hey Mom feature after three years of daily conversations. I post Hey Mom blog entries on special occasions. I post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day, and now I have a second count for Days since my Dad died on August 28, 2024. I am now in the same time zone as Google! So, when I post at 10:10 a.m. PDT to coincide with the time of Mom's death, I am now actually posting late, so it's really 1:10 p.m. EDT. But I will continue to use the time stamp of 10:10 a.m. to remember the time of her death and sometimes 13:40 EDT for the time of Dad's death. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.
