Uh oh - looks like AWS DynamoDB had a service interruption this morning
Can't wait to see what apps at work all went down - the Teams notifications I'm hearing ping before 7am is probably an indicator of how the day will be

Bored yesterday for a bit and decided that to play around with gpose and look up some stuff about lighting
Colorblindness might make these look not great, and I've got to figure out some overall brightness paired with lighting and tones

In town for Banana Ball, and very excited for that
But holy hell do I miss Otakon and Otakon in Baltimore
Feels like I should be seeing cosplay everywhere and wondering which of the convention friends we're going to see and planning out what panels and shows we're going

Today is a hard and wonderful day
I love our boys and, gender identity stuff aside, fathers day is a day to celebrate our family and it'll be a good day
Good friends of ours are coming home from the hospital today with their first kid and everything is happy and healthy

On one hand - work chaos means that I've got some ability to just focus on a back burner project and really just sink into it
On the other - work's been chaotic and plans that I had been setting up and getting ready to execute on for about a year are now absolutely out the window

Some good friends got married over the weekend. Wonderful ceremony and reception, very fitting for them
It was kid-free so the boys stayed home and wife and I really got to let loose and it was one of the most fun nights in a long time

Update to rant yesterday
Feeling better today. Back on my usual meds. The meds are for ADHD, not depression, but I didn't realize how off being off of them would make things
