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! I used to eat scrambled eggs every day for breakfast. Now I have a bowl of (cold) quick oats with frozen blueberries, chia seeds, cacao nibs, ground flax, and some almond milk. (Sometimes a drizzle of agave or honey if I'm feeling sweet.) Keeps me full until mid-afternoon. So grateful to be able to work from home and make some better food choices for myself. We took my MIL out for a belated birthday dinner last night, and she fell asleep in the car on the way home. I caught her head hanging down and looked back to see her, and kind of freaked that she was...well...😵 Thankfully she was not, but startled awake when we pulled up to the front door of her building. That was a bit stressful! Happy Thursday all, and to those in MN who celebrate, happy first day of the Fair!

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 (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 (https://stritchtunes.shakespeare.wtf/ - think Funkwhale, but Nostrified) and listen to tunes.

@Oshi Thanks as always, friend!

GA Nostr friends. 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.

GM Nostr friends. 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!

Anyone want to join me? I could go for a share of 6 BTC!

GM Nostr friends. 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!
