I washed my dishes! Life has been grim lately. They had stacked up. Kitchen is clean now. And maybe I feel a bit better.
LOL. Thanks! :]
It wasn't that tall. Only about a month. But it was a lot.
It's been a month since my bro and his gal came over for BBQ. I think that's what the mold was eating.
Making music. I’ve started working on a new EP, probably around 5 songs, that I plan to release within 3 months.
Oh that's rad as hell! I just started learning music production somewhat recently, it's so hard but so much fun. I hope your EP comes together smoothly, I'm sure it'll turn out badass. What genre?
Thanks! Yeah, even I am still continuously learning new things. In fact, I recently reset my mixing/mastering workflow and started fresh, because of new stuff I learned. I do different genres, but this time it’s gonna be a prog industrial metal instrumental album.
Made the mistake of trying Deadlock. It's invite only right now but there are communities that will let you friend someone for an invite. Anyway I figured it was good since it's Valve. And uh unfortunately I was right. I haven't slept properly in a week
Well, it's bed time here, but in the morning I'm going on a road trip to get another preventative rabies shot. I didn't build up enough antibodies from the 3 shots last fall to work with raccoons and foxes and such, so I'm giving it another try.
It's a 5-6 hour round trip, but another wildlife center is running a discount program, so it saves me $500 or so, even with gas taken into account.
That's a fantastic discount, my goodness. I hope this time is the one that lets you work with them!
It is! The shots are normally around 600 to 800 each, and you need 3, typically.
The clinic out there does a spring and fall event so new volunteers and anyone needing a booster can come all on the same days. One vial of vaccine holds enough to do 10 people, so instead of giving one shot and tossing the rest as would happen if we all got shots randomly, they schedule us to all come on the same days, and pass the savings on to us, as most of us aren't paid to do this work.
I tested positive for antibodies, but not high enough to safely work with rabies vector animals, so I'm due for a booster. I believe we need to get a titer every 2 years to show we still have proper antibody levels to keep working with them.
So it's a bit of a hassle, but we have so many cute critters that I can't work with without doing it!

A tiny baby fox they brought back to life after it passed. It's big now, and still just as adorable!
They're too adorable! That's so cool.
I'm no hypocrite, I'll chime in. I woke up at 1 am this morning and couldn't get back to sleep because my body hates me apparently. The day was pretty good other than that though, I made a run to the dump that I'd been meaning to do for months, got my hair dyed, and had lunch at a local cafe (sandwich with a yuba patty, sesame slaw, and peanut sauce. It was so good). Now I'm just chilling, I got cider and I'm listening to records (Yesterwynde by Nightwish right now). I'm gonna sleep well tonight I think!

I do have some Nightwish, but hadn't been aware that this was out.
Severe thunderstorm rolled through town earlier, took the opportunity to drive around while everyone was pulled off to the sides of the road.
Couldn't see 5 feet in front of me and was constantly pelted by hail. Was pretty fun.
I've been recovering from bottom surgery, still on my first week of being home from the hospital. Moving around has been hard, so I spent today watching TV (Dropout's GameChanger and Invincible S4), speaking to friends online or who visit, and doing some hand sewing. Well, plus my surgery maintenance.
I went to six flags with my significant other today, we had a blast! I don't think I'd been on a roller coaster in nearly a decade so it was really fun to be back in a theme park (despite the food prices, which were ludicrous).

For others who also are not familiar:
I went to a Meow Wolf exhibit for the first time, which is probably one of the best exercises in set design I’ve ever seen executed.
Worked 12 hours. About to do it again, then again
Chilling after a long day of programming. Piano music helps to destress from the work.
took kiddo to a birthday party at the museum, did therapy, rode bikes to the park, bought ice-cream it was alright i guess .
I'll continue sorting LEGO bricks. I'm almost done with Light Bluish Gray, of which I currently have about a cubic meter (probably even more) in the living room. I've got half of that again already sorted in storage.
Noup, not really. Hitting the gym after breakfast, though gotta ad in arms and abs today as i cut yesterdays session shorter, then the grocery store for the weekly trip, later helping my wife package up he bicycle for a trip and in the evening finishing the day off with playing some Diablo 4 in the PC.
Though i think it's going to be kinda decent day actually.
I'll probably was my truck and then go buy some baseboard for work tomorrow. Might go to my camp spot to sit and cook by a fire in the evening.
I just finished adding a feature to https://port87.com/ that lets you turn message authentication requirements completely off for a label.
I did this specifically because all of my email accounts will reject email from my home server’s disk monitoring software because it’s not set up to send email “correctly” (no DKIM or SPF, no MX record on its return path).
I figured since I made my own email service, and you can have setting per address (each label has its own address), it would be easy to add this feature. It was not that easy. One of the plugins in the server I use (Haraka) would reject email if it failed its check. I contributed a PR to Haraka to make the failure on that check optional. Yay open source!
That's a pretty cool concept.
Hot sweaty, course 2 of 3 about entering a structure. A good day all in all.
It's not too many pancakes, but a bit similar I am making too many Rotis today. There are many types of (stuffed) flatbread, today dahlpuri roti. I am making a bunch for the freezer as well.
Takes quite a bit of work, making the stuffing and all, so I already made the Doks Masala (Surinam style duck curry) and Madame Jeanette pepper sauce late last night to go with the Roti.
Also traditional to go with roti and doks masala is boiled eggs, patato masala and long beans. Scoop that stuff up with the roti, no fork or spoon needed, bare hands. I am looking forward serving this tonight.
Laundry, playing a few games and funny enough making too many pancakes! Well, just enough pancakes really, but any amount of pancakes at 10:30pm is probably too many Lol The craving struck so pancakes I must make!
Working on the customisation of my homebrew arcade machine. Solved a lot of problems this weekend and now it is the fun part. After the game overlays are set, I get to try and get the light guns mapped (without conflicts with the spinners hopefully)
My mom, whom I haven't seen in almost a month, is staying with me for a few days. So, a majority of my day was driving her around and taking her shopping. But, we had a nice lunch, watched The Dark Knight, and she cooked me one of my favourite meals. It was nice to get away from work for a bit and see the sun for once so I had a good day.
Was traveling and just got caught up with Eurovision semifinals. No spoilers! Still need to watch the Grand Final tomorrow.
A deep sleep.
