Episode 33 | Squirrel Nuts, Two Guests And A Saturday Night

It's 10:40pm on a Saturday in March 2023. I don't usually record this late. I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to say. Two guests at the day job today.
The first one had a situation that was straightforward to fix but she'd already run every worst-case scenario in her head before I got there. The second one had a situation that was genuinely more complicated and her attitude was essentially — it's just a thing, I'm not letting it ruin my day.
Same world.
Completely different relationship to it.
The second one said something that stopped me. Her friends worry about her when she doesn't answer the phone. She said whatever they're thinking is none of her business. She's living her life. That's it. That's the whole thing right there.
My brain goes way the fuck over there sometimes — squirrel nuts just hanging out — and then eventually I bring it home. That's what this podcast is. That's what this episode is. How good could it be if you stopped catastrophizing what's in front of you and gave your attention to what you actually want instead?
Doesn't mean that I want squirrel nuts, but when you see them, it's hard to forget.
And those are the moments that we so often miss until a "later" time...
I'm going to go curl up next to my wife now.
