Afternoon fedizens, we’re doing sunday. I hope all of you are having a good one.

I slept last night, but not very well, so I’m tired today. On the other hand, it’s supposed to get to 75F today, so that’ll be nice.

We have lots of sportsball today. My Braves play in a little over an hour, the Rays start ten minutes later, and my Vegas Golden Knights start at 1500. We haven’t decided yet if we’re just going to keep the book going, or listen to one or more games.

Speaking of books, John and I have been rereading some of the Virgil Flowers and Lucas Davenport books. Those have established spots on our rereads list, and we’ve been enjoying randomly picking a book and rereading that.

Afternoon fedizens, we’ve made it to Friday, and we’re a good chunk of the way through it on top of that.

Not much has gone right today. I’ll have to find a way to get in touch with a human at Audible because somehow my Audible account is no longer merged with my Amazon account, and when I attempt to re-merge, I can’t complete the second step. So as a result, Audible thinks I’m not a member, although I can see my library if I log into Audible with my username instead of my email address.

I found out all this when I was attempting to pre-order the new Stone Barrington book that’s due to arrive on 6 June, and the new book from John Grisham which will be a sequel to The Firm coming out on 17 October. So hopefully I’ll get this sorted.

I’m definitely going to make time for a drink later on this evening since today’s been such a not good one.

In sportsball news, my Vegas Golden Knights play game one of t he conference finals tonight, the Florida Panthers won last night’s game in quadrupal overtime with a score of 3 to 2, and both the Tampa Bay Rays and Atlanta Braves play baseball tonight.

Oh, and the weather’s great again so we have the windows open.

What’s good fedizens, we’re doing Thursday, which is one day closer to Friday.

I got a late start again today. I really need to quit doing that, mostly because I feel guilty for sleeping in so damn late. I’ll make sure to set an alarm for tomorrow. Or maybe I should work on less guilt over it. I’m not sure.

John and I ended up ordering lunch from Wendy’s today, and will probably at least cook the chicken that’s in the fridge later on.

We’re keeping up with the baseball scores, but because I have stuff to do, we’ve just left the book on.

Good afternoon fedisons, we’re doing Tuesday.

Before I go any further, by "fedisons", I mean all my people using Mastodon and any other ActivityPub powered software, plus the O-status and ActivityStream folks, and let’s not forget everyone using #indieweb building blocks like webmention and micropub.

Anyway …

John and I both had soup for lunch, and we have pleasantly full tummies. We got a very late start this morning. Neither of us got up until after 9, and I didn’t get on the computer to do any work related stuff until after noon. I’m not quite sure I’ve had enough coffee, but it’s approaching 1400 hours and I don’t need to sit here all day and drink coffee.

I haven’t decided if I’m going to really try to make my move goal or not today. I don’t really feel like it. The weather is great though, and we have all the windows open. We’ll probably keep them open for a couple more days since it’s supposed to be clear.

Conference finals for the NHL end on Thursday night, and John and I are both looking forward to that. Go Knights!
