This rain the past day is really nice.

The 5 gallon buckets and one 64 gallon (I believe) (mostly clean) compost bin are overflowing.

I really want new gutters and rain barrels...

Just printed the starts of a chore wheel thing for Rowan. He's currently excited about it and getting an allowance.

We'll see how it goes :)

Thank you, @inkscape for printing this pdf (one page at a time, but still) that Evince couldn't!

Second admission of the night: I enjoy Les Stroud aka Survivorman. Always have since I first saw his solo canoeing trip in northern Canada.

BUT! I really enjoy that he has revived his youtube channel with covid related videos including humor!

Recommended if you like that kind of stuff.

OK, I admit it. I miss #mutt, the email client. I've been using web clients for the past... many months. #gmail for work and #roundcube from gandi.net for personal.

I'm just way more efficient with mutt, I believe.

Home office chair recommendations, please!

I need to get a real chair. I've been using this hand-me-down (from my partner) for the past 8 years and my back isn't doing so hot. Posture is horrible in it.

Context: I have an adjustable standing desk that I've basically only been sitting at for the past year.

What if I get one of these?

I can find one used for ~$700. That's about my price range max.

The coyotes are loving this darkness. Me too buddies, me too.

Power outage, right when I was in the middle of my pre bed st:tng episode. Goodnight.

THEN, Rowan jumps from the tree onto the trampoline.

A big day. First, a trampoline was built. Then, we found an Afghan tortoise in the front yard.

I've been wavering between mh- and mh~ lately (I admit, my mh level baseline is lower than most). Ya know, because everything.

But this morning I decided to walk to the coffee shop (yes, still open, yes all reasonable precautions taken including my own sanitizer and tipping well, you know, to help with her rent).

Caffeine is an amazing drug. I honestly put it up there with the likes of marijuana in efficacy/potency.

Anywho, here's to a productive morning!

Forgive me for I have sinned.

In this time of increased anxiety I have reinvigorated my political posting on the FB. It gives me some amount of reassurance from my bubble that I'm not crazy but I know it doesn't do any good.

I'm sorry.

I think I might give up hope finally and stop deleting my recurring 8-9am calendar event of "Busy (kids to school)" each week and just delete all future occurrences :(

This is great. Useful info and wonderful one liners thrown in.
