A wandering warthog, closer to the end of the path of life than the beginning. Friend to elves, witches, and computers. Tolerated by cats, especially when used as a mattress. Likes a good laugh from time to time.

They're just being considerate and making sure the other leg is warmed as much as the one with the laptop. You should be thankful not to be suffering from a horrific temperature differential.

I think you're doing just fine. Everyone works at their own pace and there's absolutely nothing wrong with yours. There's no need to feel stressed. Good art shouldn't be rushed or held to some artificial quota. It takes as long as it takes and will be better for it.

In this political hellscape of 2025, nothing dates the original "Running Man" movie more than, at the end, the hero broadcasts a video of the bad guys doing bad things and the implication is it brings down the government.
