📷 Day 3: Experimental

Walking downstairs without ducking. Experiment failed.

📷 Day 2: Photo Following directions (from 2019 before the end times).

Get back from a weekend trip, then a week off due to getting Covid on said weekend trip. Today get news the person that was hired to take over one job of the two I have been doing…. has been let go. I would officially like to restore to a backup from early March.

📷 Day 1: Switch around how the dishes are loaded. I love this dishwasher.

Playing a game of “What bird are you?”

eBird is stumped. My best guess is some kind of gull. I walked around the block trying to get a better view but I never got a view of the head or beak. I saw it fly away and it’s…. A big white bird with dark wing tips.

I’m having a surreal conversation with Doordash.

They insist I have no account. Yet, I can’t sign up because the website says there is an account. And I can get sent password reset emails.

For my account. That doesn’t exist.

I am day-to-day with an upper body injury.

I just had a stranger sit down next to me and say “so we meet again.”

Am I an NPC in his game? Do I need to give him a quest?

Did you know the National Arboretum in DC has a Bald Eagle nest with cameras? National Arboretum Bald Eagle Cam | HDOnTap.com

Both “Mr. President” and Lotus are in the nest with a chick right now.

This is a real place and is now at the top of my list for this weekend.

🍿 The French Dispatch (The part I had fallen asleep to a few weeks ago.)

French Splatter School Action Group!

Going to Gatlinburg, TN for a long weekend. Booked this trip purely to:

1. Stay in a cabin decorated for Christmas (yes, in April)
2. Visit their aquarium, since it came up on a list of good aquariums and was a reasonable drive away.

I did not realize it was Easter. Until I saw breakfast with giant bunnies as events.

I’m excited to go play tourist.

I wrote an API spec for work. Today I ran it for the first time and we got real data back.

Is the Android app eating my posts?

The waiter brings him 5 drinks.

He was using Roman numerals. ✌️

Another look at the turbulent video game industry. It’s amazing any games get made with the instability, uncertainty and chaos of an industry where you are only as good as your last game.

📷 We have a small desk in our house. It is where the plants live. My wife has carefully tended to this small plot of desk. Dutifully watering, tending, maneuvering the plants there. It’s a small, thriving green space that’s brought us much solace and joy.

Listened to the audiobook. Absolutely loved it!

ATTENTION EVERYONE! I AM LOOKING FOR LOVE! I WILL CONTINUE HAMMERING ON METAL UNTIL I FIND LOVE! THANK YOU!

My wife repainted our downstairs bathroom this color. Starless Night.

And all I can think about is how it may blind enemies and provide over shields to my allies.

The name is absolutely perfect. It looks like a starless sky. Especially once we add gold accents to it.

So out of the blue my wife says to me,

“………so the thing about this serial killer romance………”

Just a very normal Monday over here. 📖 🔪 💕

Wife’s sister was given tickets to the Capitals game tonight. She invited us to go and we had a blast. Great night to see our team win convincingly.

Also the first event of any size my wife and I have attended. We wore masks most of the game. The local mandates are over. But it still feels weird being around so many people.

Micro.blog shares a space with my Tumblr use of yesteryear. I see it as a stream of neat people. I forget there’s a whole blog I could be using too.

Someone in my life has crappy parents One of them reinforced that crappiness today with a “10 Things To Love About” that could have not been more generic.

My wife and I send a 10 Better Things To Love" lists.

Kind words are free. Meaningful kind word are priceless.
