I tried to get the Genmoji thing on my phone make a “tater tot” emoji and it utterly failed.

Tested out the iPhone 16 Pro camera by snapping a quick photo of Kid 2 in portrait mode. I sure do make gorgeous kids. (Why yes, I’m 100% biased.)

I brought my kids home about an hour earlier than usual. It’s only been about 20 minutes since we got home and I’m already questioning my judgement. Did they REALLY need to come home early?

Next up: X’ian Famous Foods for the first time to try a dish I’ve wanted to try for over a decade. I ordered the N1, Spicy Cumin Lamb Hand-Ripped Noodles. I blame Tony Bourdain for this being on my food bucket list. 🙂

Had a round trip ticket to NYC expiring today, so I decided to take myself out on a little field trip. First up: trying a new-to-me coffee joint called Coffee Project. I ordered a delicious iced vanilla latte.

I sat on the couch and one of my cats almost immediately wedged herself between my thigh and the power couch cushion, tucked her head under the back of my knee, and fell asleep. I guess this means that I’m stuck here indefinitely.

Spotted Kid 2 skimming a book at the local indie bookstore. The title? “How To Cope When Everything’s Gone to Shit.” Smart kid. 🙂
