This time of year means having to do a mental calculus every time I contemplate doing something to figure out out whether the net energy produced by said thing (in the form of food, sunlight, acquisition of stuff, temporary relief from persistent feelings of guilt re: own failure to respond promptly to e-mails, etc) is greater than the energy consumed by the thing (in the form of social interaction, having to get dressed and physically leave my house, necessity of unboxing stuff and figuring out place to put it, putting words in order to produce meaning, etc). I wasn't sure whether going to get takeout would be a net energy gain or a net energy loss, but the restaurant was empty and they gave me a free hot drink while I waited for my food, which puts it solidly in the "gain" column! #personal
