One result of a fractured ankle when you live in a home with several floors on a hillside with lots of steps and stairs and it is winter and it is icy/snowy is that your world shrinks. Mine is, for the most part, 700 sq feet for the next many weeks.

Several citrus fruits on a sunlit houseplant in front of a window. Outside the window is bright white snow.

It's a nice 700 sq ft, with beautiful views, a goofy dog, good company, plants, light, music, books. AND... I can tell it will take some mental discipline to experience my recovery time here expansively rather than as deprivation.

Cognitive dissonance is two headlines days apart:

Today was the warmest day on earth in 125,000 years.

Today was the day with the most planes in the air at one time ever in history.

I juxtaposed two screenshots of tweets with the same news items on the bad old site yesterday.

@bethsawin So many of us take this 100% for granted, family spreads out from coast to coast, fly every holiday.
It's a long weekend, fly somewhere. School holiday, let's fly the kids across the ocean, again.
Ohh look there's a concert or a sports game 1000km away, why not? We can fly, and be back home for bed?
Our species has so little self awareness of how our actions, our choices, always have consequences.
