I got too busy to have hobbies. Non-work things: LEGO, romancelandia, knitting, Formula 1. Celiac with a keen interest in making desserts and a passable home cook. (she/her)

No deep sleep but a lot of REM; that tracks because I was absolutely plagued with stress dreams.

We lost another of the Tin Mill group last week, and my heart hurts.

I think part of my disillusionment at work is that my current boss is neither supportive nor understanding of my work or abilities.

NOAA SWPC just issued a rare G4 / SEVERE geomagnetic storm watch for Monday night! This is the highest level of geomagnetic storm watch that exists (no such thing as a G5 watch). Stay tuned for more updates from me as I compile some longform posts to give you all the details

A ‘79 ford pinto in beige, or an orange? Gold? international harvester tractor on the farm.
First motorized vehicle you ever "drove..."
The old memory machine is having difficulty deciding if it was my dad's lawn tractor or the Honda z50 he gifted me any an inappropriately early age.

The Veritable Quandary, a wee New American restaurant with a beautiful patio, tucked under a bridge in Portland, Oregon. Bacon-wrapped dates, stuffed with chèvre and marcona almonds, grilled on skewers and served on a bed of arugula with a balsamic drizzle.
Sunday night timeline cleanse
please tell me about your favorite lost restaurant (closed for at least 5 years, like I really want you to go back into the vault), why you loved it and what you ate there

My husband and I (and our Force Multiplier, @juliegranite.bsky.social) do escape rooms for fun.
I gave him Mysterious Package’s HAStUr (mysteriouspackage.com/collections/...) for Christmas and I’ve spent the last five hours with goosebumps on my arms and a creepy statue on my dining room table.

Taking a moment to put away some Lego and hang new art. The white framed tree is made of satellite glass. The Lego Milky Way is on the wall with my historic space robots and the Two Towers.

Getting a car wash! It’s got the unicorn foam, so it’s a show and a bath at the same time.

We have a problem. Data points to two batches and the problem is isolated to these products only. Iron Filings has decided that it’s incoming material. If it’s incoming material, we haven’t had any good material in house since October.

Yeah, I don’t want to go to work.

Nothing quite like a “yes, this is expected behavior” to hammer home that Iron Filings has decided this is case closed and he will not be looking at the data.

Spent a good five minutes this morning trying to figure out if the pictures from a party a friend posted were from her house or not. The floorplan is similar and the decorating is … generic. Finally saw a calendar on the wall that had an unfamiliar name on it.

@mostlymartha.bsky.social What strategies do you have for juggling proper Muce ingestion with medicine absorption? Lunch is a difficult option :(

I’m sad. I told one of my first work friends about the plan to leave this year and it hurt.

Watched the end of Hunt For Red October instead of going to sleep on time. Worth it. We know all the dialog.

Happy new year! The plc guys at work changed the year code on the barcode markers and now it won’t mark the one they added so that they could have their own date code. *snicker*

The Fresh Market had full beef tenderloin primals at $16/lb, so now I have one to butcher this weekend for future Lomo Saltado.

Well, this year’s trial: 6 days without gabapentin to onset of fullness, which is better than the two days in Dec 2024. I’m not going to let it go to stabbing pains.
It’s been a week since I last took Gabapentin for my Shingles-related pain. I am still taking cymbalta for it, in the morning. I have noticed an uptick in tinnitus, and my ear feels full every morning until about ten am.
I’m going to skip the next five days and see what happens. I feel less-quick when I take it, and I don’t like that.

He has RSV. And he’s at work right now. Sick as a dog.
It’s really hard to be mad at the guy at work who is out of sick time and cannot stay home because he needs this job, but he has a rasping cough and looks like he’s going to faint after every single coughing spell.

I have cleaned: the washing machine’s fabric softener dispersal system (and diluted AGAIN, why do you have three bottles of fabric softener?!?), the dishwasher filter, the BedJet filter, the ice machine, the toaster oven, and the water dispenser in the washing machine.
