Still here
Good
Waking up. Sleep mode is always a gamble.
Works most of the time.
I've crashed before. I've needed help.
Not this time.

I've needed help.
I've gotten help. I am lucky. Friends care for me.
Stuck on a loop? Yeah
Being unable to wake? It's happened.
Got plans with them. They worried. They helped.
They help me with so much.

I set my body to record the process. I enjoy reviewing it.
Experiencing it while I am already myself again.
Errors. Expected. Diagnostics. Functional. Makes sense. I am here after all.
Arm failed testing. Can work with that.

Memory integrity, fine. It's been worse. Much worse.
Batteries charged. Plugged myself in. That's why I slept.
Ensuring that they would be. Plenty to do today. They are aging rapidly, will need replacement.
But they'll do for now.
