Posting early as a test of the new account. So ...

1. Migrated from mindly.social to genealysis.social. It feels strange, but I think everything's working.

2. A relaxing Sunday.

3. Ran a Windows backup which was overdue.

#ThreeGoodThings #3goodthings

I'm cold and unhappy, so I need to think about #3GoodThings

1. I did a lot of work on my WIP today, and I believe I made it much better.

2. I don't need to go anywhere tomorrow, so I can be here when the heating person comes to fix the furnace, and I can work on my WIP while I wait.

3. Trump's $90 bribe appeared in my bank account today and I donated it to the Democrats.

#3GoodThings #Today

1. Everything my birthday boy did or wanted went his way: 50% off pizza, homecooked favourite meal, company for drinks, #OnlyConnect, new-to-us #BusterKeaton film (I thought I saw all the good films, I hadn't!)
2.. I get intrusive messages that my device can't meet the execrable #GeminiAssistant's requirements, but at least we know the Assistant can't work.
3. Slept beautifully which I define as not staying awake after 4 AM and being well-rested when my eyes open

Very tall (1 1/2 stories high) creepy skeleton-like thing dressed in white tattered clothes with a black and purple giant spider hanging on its torso. It's standing on the lawn of a normal looking house.

#3GoodThings (In honor of National #Coffee Day, I wanted to share some memories of ☕ . I have many more. Anyone else want to share?)

1. When I was learning how to drive (when driver's ed used to be free in HS), my mom would let me practice by letting me drive to Friendly's where I grew to love coffee. Lots of it.

2. Sitting @ the Dunkin' Donuts in Cedar Grove, #NJ w/my Dad. Eating donuts, drinking coffee, connecting.

3. Writing my dissertation in #Berkeley w/Peets. 1 cup per page!

@CindyWeinstein #3goodthings #ThreeGoodThings Thanks for the alert about national Coffee Day!
1) As a kid in #Venezuela, I remember my parents opening a can of coffee with a key that was soldered loosely to the lid. Insert the end of a strip scored into one end of the cylinder and turn the key until the strip was all rolled around the key to get to the coffee. (I think a brand from New Orleans with chicory in it had the same system.)
2) In college, on a contraband hot plate, making espresso in a two-stage pot for classmates who’d never seen anything like that.
3) In #Spain as a teenager on an exchange, amazed at friends whose breakfast was a bowl of coffee with milk into which they dipped a roll spread with Nutella. Genius! (Was that just my friends, or was that a thing?)

1) I am still employed, despite getting cranky with my boss today.
2) Left work early, got in a bike ride and a gym visit to work through said crankiness.
3) Learned some more about my own flavor of #ADHD in therapy today. Nothing is fixed, but have a better idea of how I trick myself into freakouts and can maybe short circuit the “normal” way they play out.

#3GoodThings #Today

1. One year of being married to @kirrix

2. Finished a big work project, lots off my mind with that one wrapped up

Mixing it up for a change and I'm going to come up with #3GoodThings for tomorrow rather than today:

- I'll be doing my friend a favour just to make them smile.

- The teapot I painted today will have cooled and be ready for use.

- I'm going to record more of my violin for my little project and it's soooo close to being finished.

All 3 of these #3GoodThings happened today and they were indeed pretty good.

I can also add:

- I watched some 9 day old kittens being adorable.

- I felt the warmth of another human.

- My nurse told me she doesn't want to see me again (in a good way because I'm doing really well!)

#3GoodThings #Michigan

1. Spent the weekend with my knitting girlfriends on Lake Michigan. Beautiful day on Friday, then heavy rain Saturday and Sunday. Photos of the cloud show before the storm attached.

2. Did lots of knitting and cooking during the heavy rain downpour.

3. Went walking in between the downpours and during light rain.

Alt...

One of my friend's Wheaton Terrier/Poodle dog is on a back porch and looking back at me. She is a light tan color. Beyond her is a green lawn and patio overlooking Lake Michigan at sunset.

Alt...

I am on a sandy hill covered in vegetation. Down below is a sandy beach and Lake Michigan. The sun is setting and peaking through the clouds, with its bright light reflected on the calm waters of the lake.

Alt...

The clouds are lit-up but also very moody and dark in places as the sun is setting over Lake Michigan. The lake is very dark at this point. You can just make out people walking along the shoreline at the bottom right of the photo.

#3GoodThings

- I did a charity run, the first run I've ever done with other people, and it was lots of fun. My legs will hurt tomorrow but that's okay.

- My best friend invited me to an online spa birthday party for her in October and it sounds rather lovely.

- There was a video of me before the run and I looked happy and careless. As in, I had no cares. That was also fun. Also, SO MANY glow sticks.

Alt...

A little black box with three USB-A cables plugged into one side of it and one USB-A and one micro-USB cable plugged into the other side. There are 4 numbered green LEDs on top of the box, and the one below the number "1" is lit. There are four buttons numbered 1 through 4 in a diamond shape below and two the right of the LEDs. The box has the words "KCEVE 4x4 USB 3.0 switcher" on it. (The micro-USB cable is for the switcher's remote control.)

Une idée pour l'été, au lieu de vous faire l'écho relais des phrases les plus dégueulasses et inhumaines qui soient prononcés sur les plateaux télé, faites leur le plus de mal possible en les faisant tomber dans le vide de l'oubli, en ne leur accordant pas d'attention, et par des actes concrets produisez des tranches de vie qui montrent au contraire qu'il existe encore du beau et de la solidarité dans l'humanité. Des gens qui en ont quelque chose à faire de leur prochain, des actes de soin, des mobilisations contre la haine et la peur, de la promotion de l'éducation, d'aider à vivre ensemble.
Go go go !

Full day #today

Got through three chapters of edits. My words cut now exceeds 2000 across the pass!

Took a longer bike ride and saw pelicans. 😊 I’ve got a photo but it’s not great.

I ran into someone I worked with nearly 20 years ago. Caught up with her briefly and it was so lovely to hear about where she’s gone and what she’s done. I’m happy for her and delighted that we crossed paths.

Now I should probably sleep. Past my bedtime 😅

• j'ai réussi à ne pas me mettre sur mon pc le 1er mai (j'ai craqué le 2 au soir...)
• le jardin avance bien,sauf mes plans de tomates qui ne prennent vraiment pas... il me reste des graines, je vais retenter.

• j'ai installé #postfixadmin sur mon #homelab et j'en suis plutôt content, pas de fonctionnalité manquantes... reste que côté sécurité c'est peut etre pas top de laisser ca accessible directement sur internet ( ca sens le mot passe supplémentaire en .httpacces en dehors de la maison).

le champ des possibles est infini (ou presque)

Bon dimanche, prennez soin de vous et aujourd'hui surtout : faites vous plaisir !
