In a strange way one of the biggest improvements I've made in months each purchasing a wiz light bulb. In the mornings I put it on full white light then later in the afternoon move to a more bluish color to wind down. I'm still trying to sort out the automation

With all the massive changes I've started seeing a therapist. She recommended " the body keeps the score" . It's an interesting read (many of the issues he discusses are much more severe than my problems). There are some good ideas that I'm starting to add to my days

Saw the gastroenterologist this morning for a followup. The colonoscopy and biopsy showed no issues. He agrees that with the stress I've been under in the past few months that my body just said 'stop'. The stomach is a second Brain! The issues I was seeing have diminished in the past month

Looking at getting out this weekend. My birthday is coming up in a few days . I used to go to monthly parties at the Royal Ontario museum a few years ago. It was massively packed with bands and drinks/appetizers everywhere. I missed this month but might try for next

I've been doing a large cleanup and replacement of worn out items at home. Over years, it's easy to get used to how things look until I finally said I need to start replacing them.

Astrophysicist Charlotte Moore Sitterly was born #OTD in 1898. She compiled extensive data on optical and later UV spectra, and her spectroscopic tables are still in use today. 🧪 ⚛️ 🔭 👩‍🔬 Image: AIP Emilio Segrè Visual Archives / Michael A. Duncan
Photo portrait of a young Charlotte Moore Sitterly taken some time in 1919, when she was 20 or 21 years old. Her hair is pulled back and she is wearing glasses and a white top with a wide collar. She is looking to the side of the camera. The photo is sepia-toned.

DoorDash has ripped off more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers. We’re making them pay $131.5 million — the largest worker settlement in City history. This is New York, where hard work pays and greed will cost you.
DoorDash messed up.
They repeatedly left more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers underpaid or paid late, causing them immense stress and financial difficulty.
That's unacceptable.
We've secured a $131.5M settlement from
DoorDash - the largest worker settlement in NYC history and largest delivery worker settlement in
American municipal history.
Every worker will be paid what they are owed, and every company will be forced to abide by the laws of this city.
