Hubby and I had an impromptu ice cream date night last night. There was apparently a whole pile of milkweed by the parking lot exit, as there were so many monarch butterflies flapping around that I thought it was fake at first. Easily over a dozen or more of the little guys fluttering around in a black and orange display. It was a beautiful sight.
Not a whole lot going on here today. Just glad to be employed and have my health. The great Minnesota State Fair starts this upcoming Thursday, and we're planning to go next Monday. Didn't go last year due to lack of interest, but this year I am excited and ready to eat my way around the grounds while taking in some great people-watching.
Have a wonderful day, friends!

GM (hey, I have 10 minutes until noon - it still counts) Nostr friends.
I have no motivation today. All I want to do is work on my #TwoWeeks challenge (

@Oshi Thanks as always, friend!

Not much work has been done today. I pulled out my dad's old Android and have been downloading all the new Zapstore app recommendations I've been seeing around here lately.
Enjoying playing with Armada, and the Roadstr app. Makes me really really wish there was an Amber signer equivalent for iOS. So seamless.

I have an L-shaped desk now, with my personal laptop on one side, and the work one on the other.
Kept going over to my personal computer and seeing what I thought was a smudge on the left lens of my glasses. Tried to clean it several times, getting more and more irritated as I went.
...Yeah. I have a lamp on behind me (when I'm at my own computer). It's just the reflection in my glasses. Sigh.
Anyway, have a good day, all!
My dream phone setup: Fairphone running GrapheneOS. Maybe someday someone could make this happen!

I'm in my flannel 90s throwback era today. White t-shirt (my dad's old shirt, it's like wearing a hug from him), flannel shirt and wide-leg jeans. My inner teenager is thrilled right now.
Hubby found me another keyboard he had stored away that is absolutely perfect. Low profile keys, quiet, and not so much pressure required to actually push them. I think I'll keep him. <3
I am amazed every day at my new job. The people are so kind - not just nice, which we know doesn't always extend below the surface - and the days fly by. I'm allowed to learn as fast or as slow as I want, and they encourage curiosity. I could just pinch myself. At the same time, I feel lots of guilt - talked to a few old coworkers yesterday via email, and they are struggling to make it through an incredibly busy and demanding season with no real end in sight. I wish I could help, but I remember being there too, and it's literally not my job anymore.
Well anyway, enjoy your Wednesday, all! Have a good one, and spread a little kindness.

Love this!
I do try to be positive as much as I can. There's so much negativity in the world. I'm just here in my little corner trying to fight back the darkness a little bit.
Sometimes the purpose of my life is to serve as a warning to others...:blob_bandage:
Bought sats off a pleb on Bisq, but mistakenly asked for on-chain instead of lightning and had it deposit to my Alby hub. Now I can't swap because of stupid Boltz still being down. So sorry
@Oshi , still trying to get a jar of hodl butter!

Can't stop yawning this morning. I slept fine, but feeling extra tired for some reason.
#AskNostr Any recommendations on a quiet keyboard? I'm looking for the exact opposite of mechanical. Hopefully a wireless one if possible, corded/bluetooth/dongle is fine too. Hubby is having me test out an old keyboard of his for my personal computer, and I absolutely hate the key click and feel.
That's all for today folks.
Did a drive out of town about half an hour to a farm selling corn for $4/doz on Saturday, and then stopped to see our baby nieces as they live fairly close. Is there anything more awesome than being an auntie when a pair of 6-year-olds are excited to see you?
GM Nostr friends. Happy Monday.
We struck out hard at almost all the things we planned on yesterday. The booya was already sold out by the time we got there. The craft fair where I intended to visit a coworker was filled with a bunch of ....well, Hubby put it, "my anti-people". And I couldn't even find her. And then we went to a small farmer's market nearby where I got a delicious honey vanilla latte, but then Hubby got mad at me ("too much kitschy crap") for buying a $3 little key chain that said, "Crazy Plant Lady". Sigh.
I did get some canning cucumbers and fresh dill and made some refrigerator pickles. Very excited to see how they turn out. I only had ground versions of most of the ingredients for the pickling spices, so I'm a little worried I overdid it. We'll see in a week or two!
Enjoy your day, my friends.

Stopping at our friend's house on the way to church this morning to refill her cats' cater bowl and food while she and her husband are out of town. Looking forward to a few minutes of playing with some Siamese siblings.
Minnesota has a tradition called Booya. Hopefully we can grab a few cups from the local clubs and churches, as Hubby has never had it. (It's basically a stew made from recently harvested vegetables with some beef, cooked for hours and hours.)
My submission is in!
https://stritchtunes.shakespeare.wtf/ Been working on this for a while, and it still has bugs, but seems to be mostly working. I'm proud of my little music player/Funkwhale clone.

Man, today flew by. Lu has been sick again, so hoping to get her in to see the vet and possibly have an ultrasound to figure out what is going on with her sad little tummy. I watched her throw up her entire breakfast this morning, and then she was so hungry a few hours later. Fingers crossed that she can keep some food down. Poor old girl doesn't have the calories spare.
Friday I went to campus and picked up the dual monitors they ordered for me, so my grown up desk is now complete. Hubby helped me move my old extra wide monitor over to the other end of the desk for my personal use, and then got everything else set up for work on the left. Feels so nice to have room to spread out, although I'm still getting used to having multiple screens.
Hope everyone is having a good day!
