READING, WRITING

Read for 60 seconds in SAPIENS by Yuval Noah Harari.  He says that as writing developed, problems occured:  how to keep track of data that is beyond the brain's ability to recall.  Our brains are, as he says "amazing" in their ability to recall certain things.

Note:  He, a Sapien with a brain, considers the human brain's capacity to recall things "amazing."  I am aware that for some other Sapiens, and likely for many other species, this ability would not necessarily be considered "amazing."  IOW, the person thinking something is "amazing" could very well be programmed/created to think so.  And therefore, brains and sunsets are possibly merely acting "ho-hum" when considered from an outside perspective.

But still, I think it IS amazing that our brains can recall some things, but not others.  In general.  At any rate, Sapiens developed a means to record the data, and that's what Harari will explore next.  I think.

***************

I have a new bed, hopefully WITHOUT any bedbugs in or around it.  And it's Sunday, the day of rest.  Still, I have a goal to reach 175 by 1/31/20, so I am not resting 100%.  I feel the need of a 1" foam mattress pad, and will explore getting one tomorrow.

Tomorrow.  How can I live through today?  I might be, as Annie says, "...only a day away..." from my new life with David & his Deal.  I sure do hope so - I've waited long enough.

IF there is no call, what will I do?  Go shopping (gas, Costco, TJs, Ralphs).  Get a haircut?  (maybe not).

But TODAY, I will relax and enjoy my new bed.
