TIL i have a lot more energy when I eat food with good fats like eggs and whole milk, so I boiled half a dozen eggs and stuffed them in a jar. Gonna eat one or two with dinner for a week and see if it helps with the energy. 🤞

Send help, I just dropped 30$ on a new set of keyboard keycaps only because I didnt like the texture of the stock ones. I use a lot of hand moisturizer during the winter and the smooth finish on the stock keycaps ended up greasy and gross to touch. So I got some bumpy PBT caps. :D

Saturday means Geoff the Hamster is getting a clean fresh cage! He got some steppies in his ball while I cleaned it, then raided his food bowl as usual. I'm transitioning him to new food since I dont trust the amazon stuff. He seems to like it so far!

It's been frisky around 0C and we've had snow on the ground for a week, but it's nice and sunny today so I braved the cold for a healthy walk by the lake... tho i'll need the tuque next time, the breeze coming over the lake froze my ears! 🍁

AAAAAAAA Finally finished it! Nevermore was the first Legendary I wanted when I started playing Guild Wars 2 two years ago, but was too scared of doing Fractals after FFXIV PF burnout. This is HUGE for me! I'm so happy, it's perfect for my Scourge Healer. :3

The suction cups ended up being a TerriBad Idea, (which, as a Canadian, i should have known rubber hardens in sub-zero conditions), so the thermometer went back on the workbench for a proper installation.
Yep, this'll do it. 👍

Went shopping at Home Depot today, and got a "vintage" Edison-style warm light bulb and a "vintage" analog mercury-style outdoor thermometer. When tech gets enshitified, just look to the past for better solutions. Plus there is something homely and cozy about warm lights and analog sensors. 🥰

Managed to get out of the house and go to Home Depot to grab items for projects that should make my home a bit more cozy. Then rested my legs and recharged at Tim Hortons with some Cappuccino, BLT and apple fritter. I can feel the holiday vibes already!

My twin babies, Ti-Boutte and Reglisse, who I adopted from the same litter when they were kittens. They helped me through 10 of the roughest years, and then both left me a year ago, 3 months apart. I am still in denial they are both gone. Posting this is making me cry their loss again... 😭💔

I grated a ripe tomato and turned it into home made pasta sauce! First time doing this, and it turned out great. Might be a cheaper way to cook a one-person pasta dinner than buying 5$ pots of pre-made pasta sauce.

"Upgraded" my motherboard from a cheap B650 with bad VRM to a high-end B850 with 14-2-2. It didnt fix the GW2 stutters but my PC runs way cooler! Plus the Gen5 PCI gives me future upgrade paths. Best part, it booted on the first try!

Big Oof. Montreal is being hit by a proper snowstorm... in early November lol. We lost power an hour ago and Hydro-Quebec still doesnt know where the problem is. I guess an early bedtime is in order. My UPS is keeping my modem going and my laptop has good battery but no gaming uh

Day started rough, but ended up quite productive. Watered the plants, refilled the bird feeder, did the dishes, laundry... all while playing GW2 and watching @valkariye.bsky.social stream City Skyline. I even cooked pasta again! Gotta use up that pot of sauce i opened ya know?

Me and my Dr are trying to lower that med that's causing my fatigue, and the past couple days have been rough but today i'm springing back and feeling better than ever. I even cooked pasta! Just some store-bought sauce with added frozen mirepoix and herbs. It was delicious. 😋

The Guild Wars 2 API is offline to hide spoilers about the new expansion coming out next week, which means I cant use gw2efficiency to track which dailies I've done.
My solution: Good ol' notebook and pencil. Because tech sucks and I'll take any excuse I have to avoid using a screen.

I tried an older mechanical keyboard to test if the stutters were input-related, and was shocked at how quieter the space bar was. Turns out Keychron stabilizers are screwed in, whereas HyperX loosely clips on. So I did the only reasonable thing and Crazy-Glued them on, no more rattling! 🤩

In an ongoing effort to combat micro-stutters in games, I learned that not all motherboards have the same power delivery, and that my mobo is the worst of them all... so I added some cute little heatsinks to my VRMs. They look stock! Hope this helps. 🤞

I finally got a proper pill organizer a couple months ago, and my friend doubted it'd stick, but honestly it's been such a boon. No more constant stress of "did i take my meds". If you're on the fence about getting one, DO IT. Just make sure its got enough slots, for me it was 3 per day.

It is a gorgeous 14C & sunny Autumn day here in Montreal. The leaves are turning yellow and it smells like fall. Perfect time of year to go out for a walk in a light jacket and not feel too hot or too cold, and not having to wear a bra lol! 📸🌅🍂🍁

Surprisingly, today is actually a good day with enough energy to cook myself a hot meal, even tho this whole week was overly draining on me. So I treated myself to some tortellini in rose sauce. It was delicious. 🥰🍽️

It's getting cold and the sun sets early, time to turn on the heating, light a smoky candle, brew a fresh americano, and play some GW2 while watching wholesome ASMR on the side laptop. Bring winter on, i'm ready. 🥰☕🕯️
