A Change in the Winds?

This past week, I took a Thursday-Sunday road trip and I brought a total of three watches with me; the baby Alpinist, the Blood Moon (my night watch) and my Falcon.

It was the week for the Alpinist to be on wrist, but when I travel, I like to have at least one option depending on the situation and wardrobe I pack. I packed a couple of shirts (both black with red & white features) that either the Blood Moon or the Falcon wouldn’t clash with, but it turns out that I never took the Alpinist off for the whole trip, even for bed.

I never even wore the two shirts I planned on wearing that would have clashed with the Alpinist. I actually wore a t-shirt I don’t usually wear in public and a road trip themed shirt made specifically for this trip in order to keep the Alpinist on wrist all week.

Does this mean I don’t like my Falcon any more? I don’t think so (I will be participating in @Aurelian’s #1wc with the Falcon), but it does open the door to the question, right? Maybe I just figured I was going to get a lot of wrist time for the Falcon soon, I typically always wear the Blood Moon to sleep and just didn’t want to shirk on wrist time for the Alpinist and it’s as simple as that?

Whatever it means regarding the Falcon, I know what it means for the Alpinist; it’s not leaving the collection. After I won it as a door prize at a meetup, I wasn’t sure if I was going to keep it because I wasn’t even looking to add a new watch to the collection. In fact, I’m trying to downsize it to 10 watches & this complicates that. The heart wants what the heart wants though, I suppose.

Do you have a watch that entered your collection unexpectedly and earned its way into a permanent spot?

Key words in this sentence? “Have said”.
“Meta & Microsoft have said they're shedding staff explicitly to free up cash flow to invest in AI”🤥
Now fast becoming a fashionable excuse for need to cut staff because line went down. 😐
So sorry for all the people who believed in the good things & values. Hope you all get better work with better employers. 🙏🏻

Obwohl viele Länder erhebliche #Ölreserven und eigene #Kerosin-#Produktion haben, schürt die #IAEA hier (aus welchem Grund ?) massiv die #Ängste vor #Treibstoffmangel in der Welt, obwohl die #StrassevonHormus angeblich nur ein Fünftel des #Energiebedarf/s #weltweit deckt. Da ist das Glas also sicher mehr als #halbvoll. Ausserdem: Wie wär's mit #Downsizing ? Permanentes #Wachstum killt den #Planeten. Das funktionierte während der #Pandemie ja auch.

Downsizing government in Niagara could limit access to elected officials, some residents worry
Could access to elected officials become more rare in Niagara if the number of municipal councillors or regional government is reduced? That's what Dave Siegel, a retired Brock University political science professor, wonders, as amalgamation continues to be discussed.

A really really tough question about #downsizing....

Downsizing my life and starting with the closet. Hiding in the very dark part of the closet, sitting alone on a shelf and I’m staring at *those* jeans 👖

You know the ones: goal jeans.

Is this still a thing?
I haven’t fit in them in years, but somehow they still hold hope, memories, and a little stubbornness. Actually, probably more wishful thinking than anything else. 😂

Do I keep them for motivation or let them go and accept who I am now?

The #downsizing adventure continues... #MarieKondo says keep what sparks joy.

For me, that includes old wooden floors, a few good memories, and a pair of boots made for walking.

Everything else? Thank it kindly and let it go (but that is really tough with a lifetime of memories: concert tshirts, stupid #souvenirs, #inherited treasures that really are not treasures, etc).
