Daylight savings time made for a great weekend. Had to spend extra time at PEL from 1pm to 7pm because we were short staffed (namely, Quan was out visiting a friend across the country), and I wanted to file as much as I could into student folders. Many students did not have school and therefore were not at PEL either, so the learning center was relatively quiet. Picked up mom's chicken soup, got some gas (25 dollars for a little under 4 and a half gallons... oop), headed home. Mostly unwound for the evening. Couldn't really focus on Helios, but I'm proud to say I'm getting back into the workflow and re-reading my notes and Zotero (which was not the case during the summer). Recently, I've also been feeling anxiety around the midterms and national politics, so I've been looking up prepping info and seeing what I should download to my Kindle (which I haven't used since beginning of this year... oops... still never quite got used to the touchscreen. My dream reader would be a Kindle Keyboard button layout with a high-res screen and a lighter body.) I genuinely have not thought about prepping in years. I think the last time was January to March 2020, and before that, 2016 to 2017 as an adjunct to conspiracy browsing; I was 13 and NOT politically literate.
