Want To Feel Normal


 There are days I just want to feel normal or be normal again. But what exactly is normal? I'm sure there can be many different words or phrases that anyone could come up with to be normal.

I for one do not have an idea of what normal is. I don't think I've ever known what normal meant. If I did? Life would be much different right now than it has turned out to be.

I mean look at this picture, people are wearing masks. Is that normal? It might be the new normal as it were. But it's def not normal like you would want to think. Ever since the pandemic hit, I doubt anything has been normal for a while now. It would be nice to figure things out for once. For finally. I don't even know what that means.

If we didn't know what normal meant, I don't suppose we ever will. I mean think about it for a moment or two. If you had an inkling of what normal meant, wouldn't you want to cling to that instead of whatever you have going on right now? Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.

I'm reminded of a quote from Star Trek: Generations.

"Normal is what everyone else is, and what you are not."

It was that more or less...yeah, I'm not sure I like thinking of life that way.

Didn't Sleep

 What's the point of sleep anymore if I can't sleep? I don't think I slept any good last night. I was awake at 3 am wondering to myself, what on earth am I doing awake? Yeah, that happened. It doesn't make any sense. Fortunately, it's the weekend. So, I can catch up on sleep tonight. I don't have to be anywhere tomorrow, so it's a good opportunity to actually sleep for once. Whatever the case, I hope I'll be able to fall asleep and stay asleep. We will see what happens.

Get Yesterday's Date

Here's an easy method to return yesterday's date: import java.time.LocalDateTime; public class DoIt { public static void main(String[] args) { LocalDateTime yesterday = LocalDateTime.now().minusDays(1); System.out.println(yesterday); } } As you can see it's quite straight forward and simple. You just minus the number of days you wish to get. You can do this on a LocalDate or a LocalDateTime object. From there you can do whatever you want with your past date.
