Monday 19 May

It's midnight and I have a lot of logistical code to shove into TeLL. Will stop procrastinating in the quiet hours of morning, I will write this final app!

... 

Woke up lateish. Got cleaned well. Fell asleep circa 12am last night. Somehow felt too tired to work on. Folks have gone banking. Could get my funds in early. Tomorrow, my Arip jab at psych clinic. Looking forward to that. Had a ramen noodle for breakfast. Western forces trying to swamp me with babies who just leave wounded. I haven’t formed a method to deal with these young accusers.

Almost finished coding TeLL. Used itertools to simplify the work. Just a few more lines of code to go. Then I will retire from making apps, writing stories, inventing stuff.

Waiting for lunch. Not that I'm very hungry. The pressure from the westerners has lessened. I suppose they are sleeping. Good time to get some work done. Lunch may be late. Want to play some songs on my guitar, finish writing some lyrics.

Had chicken rice for lunch. Funds are in, $100 and will have to last for the next 30 days. I have 500RM in my wallet and 350RM at home. 50RM is in my debit account. Not planning on buying anything much until EOM when I may get some magnets for my quiver prototype. Each magnet is about 2.50RM and I will need an average of 12 (varying sizes). That makes 30RM spent, not including the rubber tubing, 3 lengths of.

My church is outstation on a family retreat. Would have gone along if I had more cash to spare. But I think  it's better to stay home seeing as how the COVID is making a comeback in Singapore / Thailand. Seems to be a worse variant.

Installed Matplotlib for Python. Head is swimming with possibilities for representing my data. Thought of using a matrix plot if there is one, make it colorful. Seems the spec has deviated quite a bit from the original idea due to the (possible) natural nature of the data. Had some cake and buns for tea. Want to relax for a bit and carry on at 1pm.

...

Found the motherlode of Matplotlib charts and graphs. Was thinking I'd adapt one of these classics to TeLL instead of inventing my own which might be less attractive, less correct. But the rain is coming and its almost 5pm. Time to prepare dinner.

Dinner was okay. Tasty and less salty. Rain is stopping. Had to moisturize my feet and toes as they were getting very dry. Something’s going on in our family. Folks seem morose and surly. They’re growing old and infirm. This year has been a real trial for them. And they’ve been leaning on me for support. Not sure how many years I have left myself.

Feelings of dread from the UK. I think something big is about to happen. Liew witches striking out with pain-giving as usual. Need to check the ABY.

Tomorrow is "The Beach Comber" in the ABY. IDK what it means for the world or myself but it is an anchor sutra / date (a trigram). Perhaps it refers to my first day doing no more work. "enjoy the holiday" it says. Then the next day, Dad might give me more freedom. I have a feeling the economy will be highlighted tomorrow in an optimistic way.

Managed to settle on a plot for TeLL data. Essentially a surface draped across a field of bars. There might be 3 charts for truth, lies, and halfTruth until I figure out something cleverer. As I mentioned it is hard to think well of late.

…

Time for my meds, brush, and workout. Wearing my Q&Q moonphase quartz. It’s showerproof at 5bar. Haven’t showered yet today tho. Feeling procrastinatory. I just have a few lines of code to mod and it’s like lifting a mountain. Being followed by so many minds has strange side effects. Anyhow, I’m retired and tomorrow, I’ll be on permanent holidays.

Worked out briefly. Feeling good and stronger. Brushed and took my meds. Shower at 11:30pm.

Showered and changed into fresh clothes. Still procrastinating, enjoying being retired. Talked in mindspace about the Tribulation emergency preparations which were late due to certain factors including my work getting in the way. I had to have some worldly accomplishments to show rather than be an empty drum spewing recycled gospel from the 60s.
