If I were home now, I’d make myself a nice spicy vegetable soup. I don’t have many good vegan options here.

I think I’m going back to clocking in and out of sub-tasks, even though I said I wouldn’t. It’s easier not to, but the end result, I think, is messier, and I can’t get the clock reports right… on the other hand, it’s kind of an overkill. 🤔

Finished watching: Better Call Saul S6E3, Rock and Hard Place 📺 Ouch. This one hurt. I liked this guy.

Well… a bit more and I’m done with this show. Good stuff.

I couldn’t finish Primitive War 🎥. The story is just too… cliche? Hard to believe? Don’t know. Wasn’t my thing.

Is it just me, or is Apple Workouts acting up? Since the update, it ends walks without prompting while I’m still walking home. During weight training, it aggressively asks if I want to finish after pausing of over a minute I think. I’m multitasking dude, chill!

Sometimes a short nap is all I need. A bit of a snooze and the battery is full after a short night sleep. And in this cold weather… Even more inviting.

Went a bit overboard with spending on gifts. I bought things for myself (the biggest one was the keyboard, without a doubt), but also for my partners and friends. There are also two birthdays around this time, and the look on one of my partners’ faces when they saw what I’d gotten them was worth every penny, if you ask me.

All these people adding color to my life, which would otherwise be a constant grumpy gray and dark to navy blue (or, if I feel extra peep, royal blue). I was reminded where I was a decade ago… wow. What a difference.

Today I figured out how to play the very first part of Fur Elise without writing down the notes. It takes me forever, but I think something gets through my thick skull.

Manton mentions he likes to work from coffee shops. He doesn’t care about the coffee’s quality that much.

In my case, some places in the city are better than my homemade espresso, and others are worse. Those who fail this test don’t get a second visit from me. It’s about a 50/50 chance.

18 In New York City today, and this office is so hot (it’s an old building with steam heat), I had to turn on an AC, because it was going over 80 in here, and I’m layered like an onion… 😒
