I feel fine. A bit of a headache, but that isn't worth complaining about. Had an opportunity to do some service today, which made me feel a little better about myself. Maybe it was selfish of me to seek out the opportunity, just to feel better about myself, I don't know. I figure it was a win-win, and there's nothing wrong with that.
A friend of mine had their friend over to help chop down a large, dead oak tree. Both my friend and his friend are woodworkers (and my friend's friend owns a sawmill.) Unfortunately, a branch gave way, and my friend's friend fell out of the tree, about 20ft+ down to the ground. I came by an hour or so after the ambulances left; he was OK, but they took him to the hospital to check him out more fully. I looked at the spot where he fell, and boy, was he lucky... or blessed, or however you want to word it. He fell on soft dirt and grass, but right next to a large oak limb that they had felled earlier. If his head had hit that limb, he would have died for sure. But as it was, it seems he's going to be OK.
Life is fine.
I've got more projects than I have time for. It's good to have a lot of hobbies, but sometimes it's frustrating.
I'm still learning Toki Pona, but my phlog is suffering a bit, as I've been lazy for a while. I'll get there eventually. There is something pleasant about learning a language that I will have almost no use for. I enjoy the process, and I feel it is valuable.
I hope you are all fine ~town people. I know you're sometimes not, because I read your feels. I'm sorry.
