GM Nostr friends, happy Labor Day to my fellow Americans. Quiet day here. Hubby is out putzing in the garage. Just finished my coffee and got a load of laundry in the wash while I scroll for a while. Funny story from last night: I thought I'd try using a coconut lime exfoliating scrub I'd bought ages ago (that Hubby excavated from under the bathroom sink), and rubbed it into both arms and left leg. Quickly realized that it was slimy and wasn't washing off. Seeing as how I was in the shower, I wasn't really using my nose at the time, so when I did take a sniff, I got a rotten/sour smell and realized the oil in it had gone rancid. I then proceeded to take another shower, this time using a combination of shampoo and Hubby's body wash to rinse the stink off me. The smell was all over the bathroom and bedroom for ages. We had to use a liberal dose of air fresheners to get rid of it. :blobnauseated: The expiration date on the container said the end of this month, so I thought I was safe. Lesson learned: always smell your shower products before applying.

Agreed! This is awesome. View quoted note →

Ow.

GA Nostr friends. My dog has officially had enough of her cone. I have to step in and help when she tries to scratch her ear. Now she's attempting to lick my leg, and simultaneously scratching me with the plastic as she pushes closer. This week cannot go fast enough. :blobdisapproval:

GM Nostr friends. Awoken by Hubby around 4 this morning as Lu had a few accidents overnight. I cleaned up, but it took me forever to fall back asleep. Welcome to September, all!

Good afternoon Nostr friends. Well, Sunday turned interesting. Lu's right eye was watering noticeably after we got home from church, and she kept pawing at it, so Hubby suggested we take her to the pet ER. Turns out she has an ulcer on that eye, and has to be in a cone of shame to let her eye heal with the help of some ointment I rub in it 3x daily. Poor girl. We still made it to the fair today, while she hung out at our regular vet's office for a few hours. I ate too much sugar early on and felt a little sick, and then the rest of what I tried didn't hit the spot. We got sick of crowds pretty quickly, so only spent about two hours there. It was pretty dang humid as well, so nice to be home and showered now.

GM Nostr friends. Quiet Sunday morning, sipping my coffee, waiting for Hubby to finish shaving and getting ready before we head out to church. (Yes, I am already set to go.) Lu is curled up in her bed, and for some reason the AC is blasting, so it's freezing in here, and so I covered her up. Enjoy your Sunday, all.

GM Nostr friends. Dark and rainy day here today. I'm all for it. Meeting a few friends for lunch later, but otherwise I am prepared for a quiet cozy day doing nothing. Happy Saturday!

The pre-bedtime nap.

Sidecar doesn't seem to like leaving my profile alone. Just reloaded all my info, but can't find my old profile pic, so new one has been added. Enjoy...or don't!

Working on updates to get Stritchtunes (http://stritchtunes.shakespeare.diy) up and working correctly today. Please let me know if you try it out and find issues. #TwoWeeks StritchTunes (think Funkwhale without the pods, for Nostr) Features: - Upload individual tracks or albums from local storage or Blossom servers & cover art (also search for cover art with a link) - Set track/album tags - Create playlists - Download and upload playlists in .json format for backup - Favorite tracks or albums All this, available in a PWA! Please give it a try, I would love for all my credits not to be a complete waste. I am not a developer in the least, so I get by with a little help from my friend Claude.

She's literally dying of starvation, minus the shredded chicken snack she had an hour ago, the extra chicken at lunch, and a big breakfast. Won't someone please think of the (fur) children! #DinnerTime

GM Nostr friends. 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!

GN Nostr friends.

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.
