#today

1. Lounged around all day in my all purpose bed and sloth clothing.
2. Banned myself from doomscrolling and succeeded in believing the fantasy that everyone in the world will treat each other well.
3 Get to spend tomorrow with my sweetheart as we are both work free for a day together. No plans yet. We'll just wing it.

#3GoodThings #ThreeGoodThings #Today

1. A client Teams call that I had been dreading (video calls give me massive #autistic anxiety) actually went well; now I'm decompressing with deep breathing & cup of peppermint tea.

2. Our farm manager's hand is recovering well from an arthritis flareup so he'll be able to drive my wife to #Davao tomorrow. Wife needs to see her brother, farm manager gets to see his son.

3. Our smallest batch of chicks are steadily growing and most now have wing feathers.

1) Golden clouds at dawn today looked like what the kiddo calls a #Ghibli sky.
2) Interview marathon tomorrow from 11 AM to 3:40 PM, with 2 15-minute breaks. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ But the good think is I know 3/4 of the people on the various panels.
3) Friends & spouse who helped with mock interviews and insights. Even if I donโ€™t get this, life feels a little richer because of their support.

I got a lot of administrative work done today, and just enough grading to keep my head above water.

I got off the LRT a stop early and enjoyed a long walk in the sunshine.

The new couch arrived and was set up in time for me to fall asleep on it during the Oilers game.

๐Ÿ’ฟ Continued to add to my Jellyfin family media server
๐Ÿ“€ Had a couple of disks that just would not work in MakeMKV. So I dove into vobcopy and ffmpeg and figured out how to get it done!
๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ The homelab survived a multi-hour power outage. When power came back up, the UPS for our Synology had 2 minutes' power left.

1. I joined the baking party and made ice cream bread. It is a hit.

2. I accidentally changed "clean the messy kitchen" Monday into "make the kitchen messy". Silly mistake with flour made me laugh.

3. A cousin joined Mastodon. She was on the hell site with me back in the day. She is a blue person in a USA swing state. When she gets her profile set, I'll share.

๐ŸŒฑ A few sunflower seedlings (Autumn Beauty, Mammoth Gray Stripe and Mongolian Giant) from last weekend's batch sprouted today!
๐Ÿพ I took a slow "active recovery" walk to play Ingress and enjoy the gorgeous weather!
๐Ÿ˜ป Look how perfectly Plop's eyes and collar match in the sun!
