GM ☕ Never have twelve words been worth so much.

GM ☕ It's nice to see old friends and acquaintances popping up here. As a child of the 70s I grew up when you didn't have a "digital home". But when you moved to a new place, it was almost if you had died in the old neighborhood and were born again in the new, making all new friends. I ditched Twitter at the acquisition and arrived here not much after, finding a lot of new faces, an exceptionally vibrant energy, and a return to many of the themes (and memes) of the older bitcoin community that got crowded out in the hellscape that Twitter had become. I had moved to a much better neighborhood! Oddly, though, so many of the really interesting people I interacted with there seemed content to stay. So it was again like that childhood experience of letting go of the old and embracing the new. Recently, however, there has been a steady drip of refugees arriving, among them people I had either lost contact with or just old familiar names it was nice to see again. Anyway, this was a long-winded way of saying hello (and GM) to the newcomers, come on in, the water is fine. 😄

I am not diabetic nor do I have any out-of-normal blood chemistry (no high cholesterol, etc.), and exercise frequently. But I *am* overweight, and not by a little. A few weeks ago I started a strict ketogenic diet. In support of this, I started using a continuous glucose monitor that provides a reading every 15 minutes. This is a complete game changer! The ability to see how food, sleep, stress, alcohol, and workouts all affect blood sugar levels makes fine tuning one's diet and daily activities very easy. It's not just for diabetics (except in the eyes of health insurers, who don't cover it otherwise.)

GM ☕ All this has happened before, and all this will happen again. Enjoy the ride.

Ketosis feels like a God mode life hack. I forgot how nice this is, especially during workouts.

GM ☕ One of life's great liberating moments is when you realize that you don't need to convince anyone to change, that it's okay if other people make different decisions than you, and you don't need any one else's approval to be who you are.

GM ☕ Nothing like the feeling of a morning coffee, a fresh editor window, and a new idea.
