This morning was spent taking Alexis to her dentist appointment. Beforehand, we stopped at our local coffee shop, where she got a coffee and a pastry. She didn’t eat the pastry since she had a dental appointment, but she sipped a little of her coffee. Kel, Alexis, and I then headed to the next town…
Baking bread
I’m baking bread again—started it around 10, and it should be ready by 3. I need it to be done by then anyway, since I have a doctor’s appointment at 4:40. Last night, the dome piece from my hearing aid got stuck in my ear when I took it out. It usually only happens if…
Coding
After only five hours of sleep last night, I went back to bed for a few more hours once Tommy and Kel left for work. Now I’m at my computer, coding, and debating what to have for lunch. I’m already hungry, but I still have an hour and a half to wait before I can…
Rambling Monday
I started my morning realizing my headphones were at 20%, despite charging all night. I swapped the cable and set them to charge in the dining room, hoping they’ll be fine. Meanwhile, I put in my hearing aids and kept my speakers low since the kids are still sleeping—though they probably can’t hear my computer…
Keyboard works again!
The poolish (bread starter) I made yesterday exploded out of its jar overnight—the lid kept it in just long enough before it spilled all over the counter. So, I made a fresh batch today and transferred it to a larger container, this time covering it with Saran Wrap. It should have plenty of room to…
Computers…
I don’t always have a lot of confidence in myself when it comes to computers. Even though I actually know quite a bit—things that many average users wouldn’t—I still find myself feeling incompetent at times. Take this morning, for example. I needed to scan something, which normally wouldn’t be an issue, except my keyboard wasn’t…
Spilled tea
I updated my devices with the new Apple update and really like the new design, though it took a while—especially on my laptop. I try to keep it up to date, but sometimes I fall behind on updates. Now that Sandy has moved from my desk, I finally have some space to work. Oh! I…
Mentally low day
Today, my mind feels unsettled. I am irritable, though I can’t pinpoint a cause, and it’s aggravating. I made myself some tea, which soothed me somewhat, but I still resent my thoughts turning against me. I plan to eat soon—hopefully, a meal will steady me and improve my mood. The power keeps glitching, and every…
Hello, Monday
The weather is finally starting to cool down. Nights have been chilly enough that I’ve turned off the swamp cooler, and the house stays comfortable without it. Today’s high is 78 with clear, sunny skies—warm in the sun but with that first touch of autumn in the air. It feels like the season is slowly…
It’s Friday!
I finished Made in Manhattan last night. It was a quick, light read—cute and charming. The story felt like a reverse My Fair Lady or Pygmalion, with the woman taking on the challenge of transforming a man to fit into her upper-crust New York world. An interesting twist on a familiar theme. Kel went in…
