the moment i hit the ‘update’ button

i am instantly

seized by regret

remembering/realizing/knowing

at some point

in the process

it will get stuck loading

 some passwords won’t survive

random things

will be in different colors

found in new places

new languages could play a role

as i await the update on my updates

the countdown until it’s complete will continue slowly, sporadically, and take until near-forever

but in the end

at least my garage band app will be current and my gas stove controls may be linked to my podcast list

so that’s something.
