obviously, I've had a stroke

Kokubunji, 2025.12.22

Oddly, in my first meeting of the day I was complemented on "always having a positive attitude". This came after my wife complemented my Japanese on Saturday. Obviously, I've had a stroke and am living some day dream in my final minutes.

Three good things that happened today:

  1. If I've had a stroke, it's all going rather pleasantly
  2. Even though the GrapheneOS installation borked my NFC payments, I'm enjoying the phone as it is simpler, faster, and has no Google spyware being force on me
  3. Built a table with my daughter; but that's another tale

Three reasons to be thankful:

  1. Someone said I had a positive attitude for the first time in my life
  2. Someone complemented my progress in the Japanese language
  3. It's the end of a surprisingly challenging year
