My ancient pair of glasses tweaked for working on the computer just had a stem break. That optometrist appt I keep putting off is about to be made...

Amaroq is a decent enough app for accessing mastodon by I find accidental boosts fairly often. I know it’s me being sloppy when scrolling through and I don’t really want the app to go all Microsoft with “Are you sure” confirmations. I unboost when I discover them, apologies to anyone wondering why I’ve boosted something random.

When the going gets tough, the tough get their hair done.

After a long hiatus, back to therapy tonight. Everything is going so well, so why am I depressed?

When you look at your Thai noodles the pad se’ewe too.

Openculture.com has a great piece featuring prominent rock musicians playing Hello Kitty instruments. My fave is Amy Lee of Evanescence doing a cover of Desth Cab’s “Into the Dark” https://youtu.be/Cd3rYDM_Fxo

Over the weekend the dog had an epileptic seizure. Last (and first) one was about 9 months ago. Got him to the vet yesterday, and the treatment stays the same unless the frequency ramps up. However now if he has a seizure, there is Valium to give him at onset. Challenge is that it has to be done rectally. So, now have a little kit with meds, gloves, and I need a small sample of K-Y or equivalent, because it’s going to be too damn weird using my lube on the dog.

Abosolutely convinced I had a dentist appointment this morning. Get there and it’s next week. Oops... I evidently need to look at my calendar more closely.

I used to complain my schedule was too full (and it was) and new position is not keeping me as busy and I think my brain hasn’t adjusted to the schedule decompression. Either that or I’m going senile. I’ll pretend the first reason is why.

Banana strawberry chocolate protein powder smoothie for breakfast. Tasty!

Awake after 6 hours of sleep. Too restless to sleep longer, but don’t need to be awake either. But hey, coffee.

Finally succeeded with a solution that worked for joining two repeating sets of lists together. The GUI tool wouldn’t let me do it, so wrote a pre translation script that did the heavy lifting. Someone else has the master config locked, so have to wait until tomorrow morning to really put the change in for testing. But now it’ll handle the weird case.
