    Wow. Friday is here and my list of things to do is getting smaller. Just the one thing scheduled in the calendar meeting wise, but when I got in this morning there has been a massive failure at one location that I have to deal with as top priority.

    Put everything in place and all of a sudden I’m hit with the sleepies as a result of our coffee beans running out and there not being enough for my normal IV drip of coffee that would last me the day.

    On Sunday I’ve made a plan to do a bunch of snacky cooking while my wife takes the son to the park for a few ours. By the time they’re back I’m hoping to have a smorgasboard of delights for us to kill off the evening with a movie. Maybe OG Space Jam? Other suggestions appropriate for a 3-4 year old are welcome.

    That’s awesome.

    I have been trying to subliminally encourage my wife to learn to knit/crochet/sew for years, I think it’s a great hobby to have but I’m just not dexterous enough. It would be a good one to keep her from mindlessly scrolling as she’s trying to avoid at the moment and it would also allow me to ask for cool crocheted figures and I’ve always liked the idea of having a bunch of plain shirts that have some custom pattern sewn into them. Selfish? Maybe.

    Got any patterns and tools I could casually leave in her evening chill spot and she may just suddenly do from a beginner and get her excited to do more?



  • Haha. Tickled me at least.

    Last night I stood out on the back steps for 5 minutes or so just absorbing the moisture in the rain directly to my soul.

    Somehow it was still dry as a nuns wotsit this morning when I walked into the office.

    The trick to avoiding nonreddit is reminding myself how angry everyone is at reddit. 😂



  • Going out tonight to have a nice steak at a new Steakhouse in town. Then stroll down the hill to see some live music be played in the venue I got married in.

    No child to look after tonight so a nice full night sleep 🤨

    Tomorrow hosting two friends and going to make a Beef Wellington for the first time, excited to do that.
