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!

GM Nostr friends. (I originally typed, "fiends", and maybe that's appropriate for some of you?) 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.

GM Nostr 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. View quoted note →

Why is it that public bathrooms piping in music are so much classier than those that aren't?

GA Nostr friends. 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!

Holy crap, I've thought about this story since we had to read it for the first time in middle school. Can't believe I was able to read it again. Still as beautifully disturbing as I remember. https://www.btboces.org/Downloads/7_There%20Will%20Come%20Soft%20Rains%20by%20Ray%20Bradbury.pdf View quoted note →

GM Nostr friends. I'm still yawning this morning. The weekend went by so fast. Back at it. Go out and get this week.

Sleeps with her eyes open. 😍

GM Nostr friends. I don't completely understand all the technical details of the coldcard hack, but my heart goes out to everyone who lost their funds. Quiet morning here. Hubby has been taking a muscle relaxer for his back before bed, so he's still under its influence and sleepy. Lu was very hyper first thing today, but now she's passed out in her bed on the couch next to me, snoring quietly while I drink my coffee and catch up on my feeds. Our twin nieces are having the family over for a belated birthday party this afternoon, and I am looking forward to seeing everyone. (But mostly their dogs.) Happy Saturday, all!

yet? I downloaded the testflight a few minutes ago. Intrigued to see another bitchat + nostr integration, and with bitcoin/lightning payments! My husband refuses to download "anymore of my dumb chat apps", but I want to play with the shiny new apps, so feel free to message me on any of them!

GM Nostr friends! Had my morning walk with Lu, got my coffee and a protein bar, and she's curled up on my pillow having her first snooze of the morning. House is quiet, I have almost an hour before I have to sign into work, and life is good. God is good, friends. Always. Even when life isn't. Enjoy your Tuesday!

GM Nostr friends. Happy Monday. It's boiling hot here in Minnesota, and looks like it will stay like this all week. Stay cool, everybody. Another week is upon us. This weekend went so fast. It's Week 2 of my new job, so just trying to keep my head above water and learn some new things without completely overloading my brain. May your coffee be the perfect temp, and your day ahead a comfortable routine.

GM Nostr friends! I'm pumped today. Logged into my Bitaxe this morning and realized I was part of the Parasite mining pool when it hit a block last week. Whoo hoo! I can finally tell Hubby that the Bitaxe has paid for itself. (He's been crabbing that it was a waste of a purchase, and is an ongoing waste of electricity, even though I got the lowest-powered one I could afford at the time.) The new job has been going well so far. Today is the last day of my first week, and I'm starting to understand what it is my new team actually does, and where we fit within the larger organization. It's a lot to take in, and very different from the structure I'm used to, but I feel a bit more confident today than I did Monday. Also bought a new desk on Tuesday, so getting used to having more space. It also made me realize just how much desk junk I have. Ugh. Trying to pare it down, but then my stupid brain goes, "Oh, we might need that at some point." :blob_glare: Anyway, happy Friday all! May your coffee be the perfect temp today.

GM Nostr friends. After a hot weekend, our AC is finally fixed and chugging away to catch up with the hotbox that is our house currently. No idea how Europe does this on a regular basis. I was so hot and crabby trying to sleep the last two nights. Meanwhile, I'm on campus waiting to meet with my new team for my first day. I found a quiet little corner to sit and mentally practice my greetings so I don't come off as a weirdo. (At least initially.) Mental visualization is the only way I calm my anxiety in new situations.
