Kind: Notes

Oh yay more snow is coming within the next hour.

That email I had to send turned into a phone call, but it's done so I'm getting ready to wind down my day and get a snack.

It's just barely 3PM and I'm sleepy. On the other hand, got stuff done today and I think the only thing left that absolutely has to be done is to send one last email.

So I finally upgraded to Windows 11 yesterday. So far, definitely don't like the copilot in the side panel, and some things tend to be sluggish. I noticed the emoji keyboard took a bit to load once I pressed the keystroke. Maybe I'm just not used to it. Anyway, I'm now using Windows 11 whether I like it or not.

Testing local posting with this client. :eye:

Evening #babkans and other #fedizens. I am here to tell you that food poisoning sucks, and that while I'm definitely feeling better after being very sick yesterday I'm still pretty wrung out Hoping tomorrow is better. #today

So John's phone started ringing and I kept pressing the control key on my keyboard to shut it up because this is how you make the screen reader shut up and clearly this means I should walk away from work stuff for today.

Get in #babkans and #fedizens we're doing Tuesday *and* we're starting the normal working days of 2024.

I started off the morning with an immediate project delay consisting of a headache that I'd rather not deal with this early in the year, but other than that things are normal here. John and I are just having our morning coffee and breakfast has been consumed. I'll be working on personal projects today as well as getting some house work done.

So I think John and I are going to just spend tonight doing what we usually do: Reading books. And if we're up at midnight then we're up at midnight, but if we're not, we'll a t least pat ourselves on the back and encourage everyone to do the same because we made it through 2023 you guys.

Get in #fedizens we're doing Sunday.

To my Christian friends, I hope you all have a blessed and meaningful day, and a joyous Christmas since today is Christmas Eve. For my atheist friends, I hope you have an awesome day, and, if you choose to observe some downtime, an enjoyable time however you choose to spend the next two or so days.

John and I are going over to his brother's house for dinner later on with the family, and other than that we're just listening to graphic audio and our other usual pursuits. #today

Get in #fedizens we've made it to Friday.

#Today is the 10th of Tevet, and so I hope that everyone who is observing has an easy fast. And in case I don't get to it before candlelighting this afternoon, I hope everyone has a peaceful Shabbat and weekend.

Clearly I need to just walk away from the computer because it took me three tries to press a keystroke I use literally every day. Gonna go grab a beer.

Mmmm the smell of coffee in a warm home.

Get in #fedizens we're doing Thursday.

We're also doing the winter solstice, so happy and blessed solstice to my pagan pals.

It's a lazy day for John and I. He's sleeping in, and I'm watching Israeli news while scrolling my home timeline.

Also, I think I may have figured out how to break Send To Braille with a large file. We'll see if it ever translated, since Braille Blaster, old or new version, doesn't support US braille and only supports UET, which I hate. #today

Jordan Peterson books a vacation. I giggled. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/RTzM4rdN8lQ

Regarding my last boost: Buckle up everybody because there's going to be a metric fuckton of *everybody's* favorite celebrities and politicians and just general luminaries listed in those files, and the indicator of who's got moral courage and who doesn't will be the people who are able to avoid reflexively defending their favorites. Spoiler alert: The group of people demonstrating moral clarity will both be from all over the political spectrum and be very small.

Get in #fedizens we're doing Wednesday.

Coffee is made and the laundry is put out, so now all I have to do is wait for last week's batch to be delivered later this morning.

Other than that, I'm drinking my coffee and otherwise looking forward to a lazy day. #today

It's been a little while since I've done one of these so:

Get in #fedizens we're doing Tuesday. Specifically, the second to last Tuesday of 2023.

I have a few more work things to finish up today, and then I'm done for the rest of the year. This is later than I wanted. I was actually shooting for the start of Hanukah as the beginning of my vacation, but it didn't work out that way. But I'm finally to the point where nobody can drop their probably self-inflicted emergency in my lap. So I plan to start this afternoon with a few beers and a huge bowl of chili mack. And I hope everyone has an awesome day. #today
