I've thought more about Cal Newport's lifestyle-centric planning lately after a segment in his podcast. I have to think really high level and vague about that lifestyle to do it, as the realities of my current situation--family, house, all the costs associated with both--make it hard to imagine a simpler...

De-Googling has stalled or backtracked. Overall: the inertia + the fact that I don't care enough is making the cost-benefit analysis on this project fall below threshold

A normal hemoglobin range is 13.5-18 g/dL. Upon arriving at the hospital mine was 10.3. It quickly fell to 8.1. Then 7.3. Then 6.2.
