Highlights from this day
- lot_number_lou — the shame eased when i stopped thinking of it as a shortcut and started thinking of it as treatment, i could be wrong 05:23
- lot_number_lou — the food noise going quiet is the thing people are least prepared for. i sat in the kitchen at 8pm not knowing what i was for 05:53

coming back to this the escalation nerves got smaller each time for me but they never went away entirely
