#73Listen to my spouse and then my spouse listens to me. Then we talk about our day or whatever. Nothing beats friendship and companionship. We rarely turn on the tv - maybe for superbowl or storm coverage.
You had me until Superbowl. I don't understand why people waste time watching other people throw a ball around for money, but hey its your time to waste I guess.

Not sure I understood the sign prank, but I'm sorry about the friend.
It was a sign saying that the train tracks along that street were no longer in service.
A sign of heroin use is "tracks" (needle puncture marks on ones arrm or body where they mainlined heroin injections)
So I sent him the pic of the sign as an acknowledgement that he succeeded in kicking the habit of heroin use...

A band we listened to growing up, Skinny Puppy, their lead singer Ogre, wasa heroin addict... he kicked the habit, and when my friend got married, Skinny Puppy played at their wedding.

I fall asleep by randomizing my thoughts but it only takes a couple of minutes
What the heck is randomizing your thoughts?
Sometimes I just imagine I'm slowly tuning a radio, catching snippets of conversations as a hop frequencies. Rarely a complete sentence. When you're not actively trying to imagine things your subconscious seems to take over and pretty soon after it's goodnight from me

#80I go to the gym, if time allows. If time also allows, I like taking a salt bath. It's really calming. I usually catch up on my Feedly during then. I also like taking long bike rides, but travelling every week has made that impossible.
