So tired today. Woke up at 2am with severe aching pain from the left side of my neck all the way down my shoulder blade. Yup, I somehow pulled a series of muscles in my sleep. I sat up for an hour to let the pain meds kick in, and fell back to sleep. Alarm went off at its regular time this morning and I think I heard my entire body sigh. Still hurts now. 😣

I'm a heterosexual white woman, and this still made me laugh pretty hard. Who doesn't have Henry Cavill on their list? 😍

Sitting on the couch with Hubby this morning looking at light bulbs online (looking for some WiFi-capable ones to work with Home Assistant) while I drink my coffee. I'm on the upswing from my cold - very grateful it was mild.

Church this morning, and then we're going to go pick up our pre-order of Booya from a local charity. Very excited for it! Hubby has never had it, and I want to see his reaction. Too bad it's hot out again today. This is a dish best eaten when the weather is chilly to truly celebrate the harvest season.

Happy Sunday!

GM Nostr friends. Happy Friday.

I caught myself a cold. Yay... Here I thought my seasonal allergies were just doing a number on me, but I just feel dragged out to the max today.

Anyway, enjoy your coffee. Do a little something joyful for yourself today. Step on a crunchy leaf, sing in the car, or whatever floats your boat.

So many thoughts in my head this morning, and not one of them wants to come out. Not a bad thing, just bleh. Brain on overload today.

Lu needs to get her teeth cleaned. Her vet ran a blood test and said she's healthy enough for it, despite her age. I'm worried both about the anesthesia and the cost. Hubby is not pleased about how much we've had to spend on her the last few months. I understand his point - she's 14 years old, mostly in good health, but I rebutted that we do this now, and it prevents an infection, pain, and a possible emergency visit in the future. We ended up having a good talk last night despite being on opposite sides of the issue. I love Lu desperately, but she is elderly, and I acknowledge that there will come a point when costly medical procedures just won't make sense. Dreading that future moment, but for now, she's gonna get her teeth cleaned.

I dreamed last night that I went back in time, but somehow it was just before Satoshi published his whitepaper. I remember running around trying to find a miner and some sort of item to hold all my bitcoin in something like a Best Buy with a few other people. 😋

Bit of a bummer for Lu. She had her six month checkup with the vet today, and her right eye is bad again, so she's back in the cone of shame while getting eye drops for the next 10 days or so. Seems to feel fine otherwise. Our vet even recommended a dosage of antihistamine, and it turns out I already take the same thing myself.

Hubby discovered Home Assistant this weekend, so we played with that all day Saturday and part of Sunday. Turns out we had a bad SD card, so I bought a new one today, flashed it, and it's running smooth as can be on my raspberry pi. Nice. 😎

Happy Monday, all. Do something kind for someone in your life today, just because.

GM Nostr friends. It's Friday!

Getting cold enough here that I'm considering the end of my coffee cold brew season.🥲 Sitting wrapped up in a blanket right now while wearing my insulated leggings and a wool sweater.

Have a wonderful day and a good kick off to the weekend, all.

Oof, it's been a day already. Lu pooped downstairs on the rug, when her potty pad was 10ft away. Got that cleaned up, and then had to head to a doc appointment.

From the time I walked in to when I finally got the heck outta dodge, it was over two hours. My doctor was running behind, we had a short visit, and then it was an obnoxiously long time to get my labs done, and the tech took her very sweet time getting two vials from me.

Meanwhile, my Alexa keeps sending notifications that Lu is at home barking her little head off, and there was nothing I could do.

It's over with now, and I'm happy to be back at my desk. Happy Thursday!

Gratefulness post: Stok now has a peppermint mocha cold brew (don't judge me). Lu is curled up snoozing in her bed next to my feet. We had a fan in the window and I was able to sleep with a comforter last night. I have a job to "go" to this morning. Hubby and I are *relatively* healthy. Found a good book to read, and have been slowly enjoying it the last few days. God is good.

GM Nostr friends! Up and at 'em!
