Day 72 - dragging into the week

Today is the 2nd day of the 11th week, the 13th day of the 3rd month, the 72nd day of 2023, and:

• Commonwealth Day
• Dribble to Work Day
• Earmuff Day
• Fill Our Staplers Day
• Intra-Uterine Growth Awareness Restriction Day
• K-9 Veterans Day
• Kasauga Matsuri [Shinto festival]
• Ken Day
• L Ron Hubbard Day - he would've been 112 today.  He actually wrote some excellent science fiction, but is also known as the founder of Scientology.  His writing could be rather turgid, so YMMV..  
• National Coconut Torte Day
• National Good Samaritan Day or Good Samaritan Involvement Day
• National Jewel Day
• National Open an Umbrella Indoors Day
• National Workplace Napping Day - appropriately celebrated the day after DST starts.  Bet the school kids are flagging too!  Definitely a perk of working from home is that at lunchtime, you can stretch out and catch a couple of winks
• Smart & Sexy Day

Quote of the day:

“Life feels simpler when we tell ourselves there is a single truth and everything else is a deviation from that truth–an error, a lie, an ‘untruth’. It’s disturbing to imagine that we can shape reality simply by choosing a different truth. The very idea of competing truths feels slippery, disingenuous, conniving.” 

~ Hector Macdonald in Truth

I don't know anybody who actually LIKES the semi-annual ritual of changing clocks, and yet we don't seem to be able to gather a consensus even around such a thing as what time it should be, much less agree on more pressing national issues!

It has been a very long, and particularly Monday-ish day.  With any kind of luck, this will not be the kind of week that has multiple Mondays in it....
