Comin' up on it now, boi. That five hunnit. More posts will have to be written than even back in January, which holds seventeen, but fewer than in April. It looks like I wrote thirty-two posts this April? Don't even remember that. I'll go read April now.

Uh. Wow. Something was up. I'm not sure what! But something was fucking up April 2024. 

Blogger couldn't even show the whole month in one scroll. It's a lot of posts, sure. Some are short. But some are not short. They're fucking long!

That's my first impression. Kinda scared to actually read it.

Ok. I was doing a thing, a thirty-posts-for April thing. A thing that apparently helped save my life yet again. Damn. Completely forgot.

Those are some good posts. April and May may be high-water marks for the blog in some key ways.

Every time I consider quitting or destroying this blog I am somehow reminded that starting it saved my life, and that at various junctures in the following years, it has done so again. 

That's the kind of return on an activity that makes up for a host of costs and depravities. Makes a person almost superstitious about stopping! Haha. Ha.

Well, we'll see where I'm at with things once we hit 500 posts, seven years old, and six years active. New Year's, basically.
